Definitions

  • the invention relates to a smoke throwing body according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such fogging missiles are intended to form a fog curtain to protect vehicles or troops against detection, detection and target tracking.
  • smoke projectiles are carried on an armored vehicle in a plurality of ejector tubes and, if necessary, ejected by igniting a propellant in a trajectory defined by the angular setting of the ejector tube. After leaving the ejector tube, the pyrotechnic active charge of the smoke throwing body is disassembled and ignited by initiating the bursting charge.
  • a prior art smoke missile is out DE 29 08 116 A1 known.
  • a smoke throwing device which comprises a plurality of layers of mistletoe tablets which are burnt off via a pyrotechnic active charge on the underside.
  • the individual, inflamed mists of tablets burn one after the other along the ballistic trajectory of the smoke projectile.
  • the problem here is that due to the burning of the individual mist tablets successively along the trajectory of the smoke throwing body only small nets are generated. Added to this is the problem that the resulting fog wall has a comparatively low fog density.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a novel smoke grenade in which in a simple manner after ejection of the smoke throwing body, the mist active mass at a predetermined distance from the object to be protected directly and without influencing incoming air to a voluminous fog wall with high fog density is distributed.
  • the inventive smoke-impacting body has a mist-effect mass for generating a camouflage mist and a bursting charge for dismantling and igniting the mist-effect mass. Furthermore, a delay charge is provided, which causes a delayed effect of the Zerlegerladung. Due to the delay charge according to the invention, it is possible to set the mechanism for generating the Tamnebels already at launch of the smoke thrown in motion, at the same time the actual training of the Tamnebels to a predefined time after leaving the ejector tube to shift so that the fog formation at an optimal time and so that it is at an optimal distance to the object to be protected.
  • the mist active mass is preferably arranged around the Zerlegerladung around.
  • the fogging compound can be applied in a particularly effective large-volume manner upon initiation of the breaker charge.
  • the Zerlegerladung is arranged in a longitudinal channel, which is located in the region of the longitudinal axis of the mist effective mass. As a result, a largely radially symmetrical distribution of the mist effective mass can be achieved.
  • the delay charge is preferably also arranged in this longitudinal channel, following the Zerlegerladung. This ensures that the delay charge in contact with the burster charge can initiate the burster charge after its burnup.
  • an ignition element is arranged at the end of the delay charge, which is opposite to the end of the delay charge facing the Zerlegerladung, which is set up to ignite the delay charge when firing the smoke throwing body.
  • the delay charge comprises a deflagrative converting charge. Namely, when the delay charge is ignited at the contact point between the delay charge and the sacrificial charge opposite end of the delay charge, the delay charge burns deflagrativ with a predetermined time constant in the direction of the contact point between delay charge and Zerlegerladung. This has the particular advantage that the mechanism of fog generation already at Launching the smoke-impact body can be initiated without further measures would be necessary below, such. As a signal to initiate the Zerlegerladung from the launching mechanism to the fired smoke projectile or a complex time fuse.
  • the bursting charge of the smoke-throwing body comprises an explosive-based charge.
  • an explosive-based bursting charge has the advantage that the fogging mass is not only very effectively ignited, but the fogging mass is also very spontaneously and large-volume distributed, regardless of a distribution of fog effective mass by the air flowing into the mist throwing body. This spontaneity of the distribution of the fogging mass is advantageously further enhanced by the fact that the fogging mass comprises a charge that converts detonatively.
  • the parts which are ejected preferably dispense with metal parts, so that when the smoke thrown body is ejected, no metal parts that could lead to injuries are brought into the area of one's own troops.
  • the figure shows an embodiment of the smoke throwing body 1 with a Nebelwirkmasse 2 for generating a Tarnnebel and with a Zerlegerladung 3 for disassembling and igniting the Nebelwirkmasse 2.
  • the smoke throwing body 1 has a delay charge 4, which causes a delayed effect of the Zerlegerladung 3.
  • the bursting charge 3 is arranged in a longitudinal channel located in the region of the longitudinal axis of the mist active mass 2.
  • the Nebelwirkmasse 2 is arranged in a cylindrical shape around the Zerlegerladung 3 around.
  • the delay charge 4 is arranged in the longitudinal channel following the bursting charge 3.
  • the deceleration charge 4 is in operative contact with the Zerlegerladung 3 in such a way that when burning the delay charge 4 to the contact point between the delay charge 4 and 3 Zerlegerladung the Zerlegerladung 3 is initiated.
  • Anzündelement 5 is arranged, which is set to ignite the delay charge 4 when firing the smoke throwing body 1.
  • the delay period between the launching of the smoke throwing body 1 and igniting the fogging mass 2 - and thus the removal of the camouflage from the object to be protected - can be specified in a defined manner.
  • a variably adjustable delay time can be achieved by arranging a plurality of ignition elements 5 lengthwise on the delay charge 4. If a shorter delay time is desired, an igniting element 5 for igniting the delay charge 4 is simply initiated, which is closer to the contact point between the delay charge 4 and the burster charge 3.
  • the selection of the respectively required ignition element 5 can take place automatically within the framework of a fully automated, software-supported high-speed position estimation.
