Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protective device for protection against projectiles, ammunition and other projectiles.
  • the object of the protection concept is to cover a surface to be protected with many small plates, but their attachment is designed so unstable that a single plate is not penetrated by bombardment but accelerated by the projectile.
  • the plate absorbs the kinetic energy transmitted by the projectile or brakes the projectile. Both are then collected by a second layer of plates or other conventional protection.
  • the protective plate depending on the material break, kink or tear. This will transform energy.
  • Out-of-area operations will employ a variety of light and medium armored vehicles.
  • the armor of these vehicles must be able to withstand various threats while still being as small as possible. Preference is given to armor, which are also used on smaller vehicles. Other threats include EFP Explosive Formed Projectiles.
  • the EFP often penetrate conventional armor due to their mass and speed.
  • multislug -EFP such protection is not sufficient as the projectiles penetrate the armor at this point.
  • a protective cover of many is the DE 10 2007 026 545 A1 refer to. This is detachably einbindbar on a vehicle wall.
  • the DE 38 04 991 C1 relates to a device for the protection of active armor against combat by sensor-controlled anti-tank projectiles, wherein on the object to be protected inflatable individual segments are arranged pressure and temperature controlled.
  • the inflatable segment (s) are housed in a housing and include a stalk-like spacer and a broad-surfaced shield member having a surface.
  • the material used is a combination of highly elastic rubber-like film and tear-resistant, non-elastic film, wherein the shield part surface and the band-like stiffeners are formed by the tear-resistant and eg Kevlar reinforced film.
  • the DE 10 2004 044 541 B4 suggests a pressurized gas container and a bullet-proof jacket for use in an aircraft.
  • the kinetic energy of the projectile is absorbed by deformation of the shell and diverted in the circumferential direction, so that destruction of the container is prevented.
  • the jacket is in turn spaced from the container.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a protective element or protection system, in particular for the protection of multi-flight EFP, which enables use on light and medium-weight vehicles and other objects.
  • the object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
  • Advantageous embodiments are listed in the respective subclaims.
  • the invention is based on the idea to cover a surface to be protected with many (small) plates, etc., but whose attachment is designed so unstable that a single plate in shelling (or exposure to a mine) not penetrate but from the floor or the Fragments (including the mine) is accelerated.
  • the plate absorbs the kinetic energy transmitted by the projectile or brakes the projectile. Both are then collected by a second layer of plates or other conventional protection.
  • the fragments are braked and already the first fragment sets the isolated protection element in motion.
  • the protective elements are high-strength plates, preferably of composite material, such as Dyneema, etc. It can also be organic material, such as biobeton (corn-based) are used. These plates are stored in a rubber blast blown, for example, with compressed air or the like. The basic principle of the protection concept is thus the storage of the protective plates in each one filled with air, etc. Gummiblase per protective plate.
  • the rubber bladder filled with (compressed) air has a stable shape and carries the protective plate.
  • the rubber bubble can be stuck together with other rubber bubbles (as long as the pressure is over).
  • these means for mating voluminous be molded to the rubber bladder, for example as rubber elements.
  • Rubber bubbles with protective plates arranged side by side and one above the other result in a (protected) area. In several levels one behind the other and preferably staggered rubber bubbles allow in continuation of the invention, a protective coverage of 100%.
  • the weight of the protective elements is very low at 12 kg / m 2 per shift. As an interface to the vehicle pan or other object would be sufficient a lightweight frame of aluminum sheets.
  • Fig. 1 is an AMPA ((Air Mounted Protection Array) protection elements 1 shown that a kind of rubber bubble 2 as a housing ( Fig. 2 ), in which a protective plate 3 ( Fig. 3 ) is received and stored.
  • Several protective elements 1 can in turn be connected to a protection system 10 (FIG. Fig. 3 ) or the like. Due to the rubber bubbles 2, the protective plates 3 are stored unstable, so that no reaction forces are built up conditionally from a solid storage and only the inertia of the individual plates 3 must be overcome.
  • AMPA Air Mounted Protection Array
  • each individual protective plate 3 consisting of a fiber composite material, is placed in a rubber bladder 2 filled with, for example, air and under pressure.
  • the rubber bubble 2 holds the protective plate 3 and allows correspondingly shaped means, such as lugs 5 and grooves 6, the mating of several protective elements 1 side by side and in multiple (protective) layers 7, 8.
  • the layers 7, 8 are preferably arranged offset, so no ballistic "holes" arise. If needed, alternatively or in addition to mating Velcro or the like can be used.
  • the shaped means 5, 6 are filled with air, the mating takes place under pressure.
  • molded rubber-like or similar means having a similar shape as the shaped means 5, 6th
  • the individual protective elements 1 are each provided with a conventional air valve and are filled separately.
  • the material of the rubber bladder 2 must absorb the loads during driving without occupation, but suddenly burst when bombarded. Therefore, a thin-walled structure of abrasion-resistant, elastic material is preferably provided.
  • FIG. 5 Another view is in Fig. 5 shown. With 20 mounting plates (additional or the vehicle's own wall / wall) are marked on which the AMPA 1 are attached.
  • the type of attachment - for example, clamping the AMPA 1 between two projections 21, 22 - can be designed individually. It should only be noted that the rubber bubbles are not destroyed during cultivation.
