Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protective device or a protection system for protection against projectiles, ammunition and other projectiles, in particular against multi-projectile projectiles, which is formed by one or more protective plates, which are held in a housing, preferably in one or more frames be so that when hitting the projectile on the plate these can be released from the frame or move in the housing.
  • EFP Exlosive Formed Projectiles
  • Multislug are part of the penetration IED and usually act laterally on the vehicle. By fragmentation of the projectile they produce several projectiles. A distinction is made between parallel multislugs, in which several projectiles impinge simultaneously on different vehicle locations and serial multislugs in which the same location is hit repeatedly in succession.
  • the EFP often penetrate conventional armor due to their mass and speed.
  • EFP which consist of individual projectiles, so-called “monoslug EFP”
  • multi-flight EFP such protection is not sufficient, as the projectiles penetrate the armor at this point.
  • 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 GB 2 213 573 A discloses a reactive armor protection, which has a holder in front of the object to be protected, in which two layers are obliquely incorporated, wherein the first layer is fixed and the second layer by means of bands loosely attached to the support frame. If a penetrator passing through the first layer now strikes the second layer, it is accelerated parallel to the likewise obliquely arranged outer wall of the protection, wherein the bands break and release the layer. For a multislug EFP with projectiles impacting one after the other at the same location, such protection is not sufficient because the second layer, by its upward movement, releases areas of the object to be protected so that a subsequent EFP can strike the object at that location.
  • the EP0588211 A1 discloses a protective device for a vehicle consisting of several, mounted in a housing, one behind the other, parallel to each other arranged plates, each with an integrated frame in the housing, through which the storage of the plate is realized.
  • the invention has the object to provide a protective device that realizes effective protection, especially against such multi-flight EFP.
  • the protective elements are high-strength plates, preferably made of composite material, such as Dyneema etc. These will be stored with a blown example, with compressed air rubber bladder or the like.
  • the basic principle of the protection concept is thus the storage of the protection plates in one air-filled rubber bubble per protection 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).
  • This invention is based on the same idea, namely to absorb the energy of the many fragments and to remove them from the projectiles.
  • the present solution provides that when the first fragment hits a protective plate of the protective device breaks from their storage and deforms. This speed is withdrawn from this fragment, in which it accelerates the plate. A penetration of the plate is prevented by a soft storage. The subsequent fragment thus encounters the first one and a collision of the fragments occurs, similar to a car crash with several vehicles. Thus, the individual fragments are gradually deprived of energy.
  • the invention provides the creation of a FMPA (Flexible Mounted Protection Array) of one or more protective plates, which are loosely bordered in a frame.
  • FMPA Flexible Mounted Protection Array
  • the material it must be taken into account that the struck plate (s) can come loose from the frame.
  • the choice of a rubber has proven itself as a rubber frame.
  • the protective plates are preferably summarized to a protective device, which is formed by a box-shaped housing for receiving the protective plates.
  • a pre-written protection level can be set individually by the number of layers of the protective plates.
  • the width of the vehicle itself is only slightly changed, the weight increased only slightly.
  • Fig. 1 shows a protective device or protection module 1
  • the housing 2 is preferably carried out in a box - completely in a rear view, with lugs 3 and holes 13 for a screwing etc. of the device to an object, not shown, to be protected, such as on a vehicle or building Etc.
  • Fig. 2 shows the same in a front view with a protective front wall or cover. 4
  • Fig. 3 the protective device 1 is shown in an open variant.
  • the housing 2 at least one, preferably a plurality of successively arranged plates 5 are held.
  • the plates 5 are preferably made of a fiber composite material, since a fiber composite material has the advantage that the protection module 1 is not too heavy, since the inertia of the plates 5 would favor a breakdown.
  • the loose storage of the plates 5 takes place in at least one frame 7 of the housing 2. This (r) are / is provided in a preferred embodiment on the rear side with a small lip 10 ( Fig. 5 ).
  • Multiple frames 7 persist in the embodiment Fig. 3 nine plates 5 together (three in a row, three on top of each other).
  • the frame 7 serves to receive a rubber-like frame 8, by which the soft support of the plate (s) 5 is realized.
  • the cover 4 in front of the (n) plate (s) 5 serves primarily for the protection of the protective device or the protection module 1 against contamination, especially in use.
  • a triple arrangement of the plates 5 in succession increases the protection ( Fig. 3 ).
  • the three frames 7 are preferably combined with the plate (s) 5 by a variable spacer 9 to form a protective module 1. But it is also possible to design the spacer 9 so that more than three rows of plates in the given housing 2 can be mounted.
  • the frames can be dispensed with if this task or shaping takes over the housing itself. Then, the rubbery frame 8 is received directly by the housing. Whether then spacers 9 are necessary, is individually decidable.
  • Fig. 5 shows an enlarged view Fig. 4 for a closer view.
  • the size / dimensions - also depth - of the individual plates 5 is variable. Also, different plate sizes can be integrated. The same size plates 5 have the advantage that they can be made better than standard products. The design of the frame 7 is easier. The number of successively mounted plates 5 (layers / rows) is known to increase the protective effect. A triple layer has proved to be sufficiently protective.
  • belts not shown in detail can be attached, which can additionally brake the plates 5.
  • An entire protection system on the object / vehicle can consist of a large protection module 1 or be composed of several smaller protection modules 1.
  • the latter variant allows a simple interchangeability of a single defective protection module 1 with respect to the replacement of the entire protection system.
  • the protection system or the protection modules 1 is / are in turn mounted on a basic protection of the object / vehicle, for example by a screw connection Fig. 1 , In simple operations, the protection system or the / can Protection modules 1 directly, for example, on the vehicle wall (not shown in detail) are attached.
  • the protection module (s) 1 are preferably suspended (lugs 13) and secured by means of screws forming a screw 3 holes on the object.
  • By incorporating the holes 3 on the housing exterior is a simple assembly and / or disassembly of the protection module 1 without removing the cover 4, the plates 5, etc. possible.
