Definitions

  • the invention relates to an aerial bomb.
  • Aircraft bombs are stored without the attachments, such as detonator, wind turbine generator, power cable, steering devices and suspension lugs. Only before an application, the attachments are attached and transferred the aerial bomb in a ready state.
  • the term aerial bomb applies primarily to the storage state in which the aforementioned attachments are not yet mounted.
  • T2 is an advanced aircraft bomb known, which forms the starting point for the preamble of claim 1.
  • This aerial bomb is based on a known explosive bomb.
  • the advanced aircraft bomb has an enclosure whose outer dimensions match exactly with the known explosive bomb. Likewise, the mass properties match the known explosive bomb.
  • a penetrator is arranged, which has an explosive charge in the rear.
  • a standardized bomb shell often weighs more than a third of the total mass of an aerial bomb and is therefore not used here. Rather, the envelope is a newly developed lightweight component in order to give the penetrator a higher mass and thus a higher efficiency.
  • the aerial bomb is known from the Internet (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mk 82 , 25 February 2008).
  • the aerial bomb BLU-126 / B- represents a variant of the MK 82.
  • the MK 82 is the most frequently used explosive bomb in the US and NATO forces.
  • the air bomb BLU-126 / B was built on the request of the United States Navy after a bomb for minor collateral damage during air raids. It is also known as "Low Collateral Damage Bomb (LCDB)".
  • LCDB Low Collateral Damage Bomb
  • the BLU-126 / B has a smaller explosive charge.
  • a non-explosive filling is added to get the same mass as before. This ensures that the aerodynamic properties of the bombs remain the same.
  • the invention is based on the object to provide an aerial bomb using a standardized bomb cover made of steel, which has a high impact at low impact damage with low collateral damage.
  • the aerial bomb has a standardized bomb shell.
  • the bomb shell is in particular the bomb envelope of the aerial bomb MK 81, 82, 83 or 84.
  • Such bomb cases are available in large numbers.
  • the use of these bomb covers reduces costs.
  • the bomb cover is made of steel and has a bow opening and a rear opening. These are the conditions for a slim penetrator, which is located in the bomb envelope.
  • the Bombshell designed for an explosive bomb now serves as a bombshell for a penetrator.
  • a penetrator can be regarded as slender, in particular, if it has a length which is more than 7 times its maximum outside diameter.
  • the distance between the tip of the penetrator and the bow opening is less than 500 mm. This ensures that the penetrator has a sufficient length to ensure a high level of effect in the target.
  • the distance of the rear end of the penetrator to the rear end of the bomb envelope is smaller than 50 mm. Even with this measure, a sufficient length of the penetrator is ensured with a high effect in the target guaranteed.
  • the mass of the penetrator essentially corresponds to the mass of the explosive charge which is used in the explosive bomb designed as an aerial bomb. With this measure it is achieved that the penetrator receives the maximum possible mass. The penetrator almost completely replaces the former explosive charge.
  • the maximum cross-sectional area of the penetrator is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the rear opening of the bomb envelope. This facilitates the installation of the penetrator in the bomb shell. at During assembly, the penetrator can be inserted through the rear opening into the bomb shell.
  • the maximum cross-sectional area of the penetrator is greater than the cross-sectional area of the bow opening.
  • this measure has the disadvantage that the penetrator must widen the narrower bow opening of the bomb envelope.
  • the advantages lie in the fact that in the present framework, which are still discussed in the embodiment, the penetrator receives its maximum possible mass.
  • the penetrator on a arranged in the rear explosive charge can be ignited at the time of target impact or delayed. With the explosive charge a localized effect is to be achieved. Collateral damage should be avoided.
  • the mass fraction of the explosive charge to the total mass of the penetrator is a maximum size of 20%.
  • an igniter receiving bush is arranged in the explosive charge of the penetrator, which has the same dimensions as the detonator bushing of the explosive bomb. For a soldier this means easy handling. He has in the context of deployment in the same way to use the detonator in the fuze receiving socket, as in the previous explosive bomb.
  • the bomb shell on a receiving socket for a wind turbine generator wherein in the penetrator, a cable channel is arranged, which extends from the Zünderabilitybuchse up to the bottom opening of the receiving socket of the wind turbine generator.
  • a cable channel is arranged, which extends from the Zündereffortbuchse up to the bottom opening of the receiving socket of the wind turbine generator.
  • the penetrator is fixed with a fixing agent in the bomb envelope.
  • the fixative fixes the position of the penetrator during storage, transport and use until impact with the target.
  • the fixing agent is mounting foam. This represents a cost-effective measure.
  • the mass of the mounting foam is insignificant relative to the total mass.
  • the standardized bomb shell mechanical interfaces on the front of a use steering devices are anmontierbar. Existing, standardized steering devices of the previous explosive bomb can be used.
  • the Fig. 1 shows an aerial bomb 1.
  • the aerial bomb 1 has a standardized bomb shell 10.
  • the bombshell 10 is the bombshell of the aerial bomb MK 82.
  • the bombshell can also be the bombshell of the smaller aircraft bomb MK 81 or the larger aircraft bombs MK 83 or 84.
  • the aerial bombs of MK types are explosive bombs.
  • the bomb shell 10 is made of steel and has a smaller bow opening 11 and a larger rear opening 12. Unlike the explosive bomb in which the bomb shell is filled with explosive, now a slender penetrator 20 is disposed in the bomb shell 10.
  • the mode of action of the aerial bomb 1 is in the Fig. 2a to 2c shown.
  • the Fig. 2a shows an aerial bomb shortly before a target 100.
  • the target 100 is a concrete target.
  • the speed of the aerial bomb has a size of approx. 250 m / s.
  • the bomb shell 10 and the penetrator 20 have the same speed at the beginning.
  • the distance a between the tip of the penetrator 20 and the bow opening is greater than 100 mm, preferably greater than 150 mm.
  • the distance a is also drawn. This distance a importantly ensures that the bomb shell 10 is still in front of the top of the penetrator on the target occurs.
  • Fig. 2b indicates, takes place in the target a pre-damage, which is mainly caused by the structural strength of the bomb shell and the subsequent penetrator significantly facilitates the penetration of the target.
  • the original explosive bomb contains a mass of about 90 kg explosive.
  • the mass of the penetrator 20 corresponds to the mass of the explosive charge which was used in the explosive bomb designed as an aerial bomb.
  • the mass of the penetrator therefore has a size of about 90 kg.
  • the mass of the bomb shell 10 has a size of about 120 kg. Thus, a mass of about 3 kg remains for the further fastening parts, such as for the front spacer bushing 18 and the lid 80th
  • the penetrator 20 is fixed in the bomb sheath 10 with a fixing agent.
  • the fixing agent is mounting foam 30, whose mass is so small that it can be neglected in the mass design of the penetrator 20.
  • the spacer bushing 18 centers the penetrator and facilitates assembly.
  • the distance a between the tip of the penetrator 20 and the bow opening of the bomb sheath 10 should be at least so large that the front, provided in the standardized bomb sheath, slightly changed Igniter housing can be installed as a spacer sleeve 18. The slight change refers to a centering for the penetrator tip.
  • the round rear opening 12 of the bomb cover 10 has a diameter of 150 mm.
  • the maximum outer diameter of the penetrator 20 is smaller and has a size of about 140 mm, to allow installation over the rear opening 12.
  • the maximum cross-sectional area of the penetrator 20 with a diameter of about 140 mm is greater than the cross-sectional area of the bow opening 11 with a diameter of about 80 mm. This results from the given boundary conditions, which pretend that the physical properties of the standard explosive bomb must not be changed.
  • the maximum cross-sectional area of the penetrator is greater than the cross-sectional area of the bow opening.
  • a minimum distance a is provided in order to generate a pre-damage to the target with the bomb envelope.
  • penetrators are as slim as possible for a high level of effect in the target. Therefore, the distance a between the tip of the penetrator 20 and the bow opening 11 is smaller than 500 mm, preferably smaller than 300 mm.
  • the distance b of the rear end of the penetrator to the rear end of the bomb cover 10 is smaller than 50 mm. In the exemplary embodiment, the distance b corresponds to the floor thickness of the rear-mounted cover 80.
  • the penetrator 20 has an explosive charge 21 arranged in the rear.
  • the mass fraction of the explosive charge 21 to the total mass of the penetrator 20 has a maximum size of 20%.
  • the explosive charge 21 has a mass of about 10 kg.
  • a fuze receiving socket 25 is arranged, which has the same dimensions as the detonator socket of the explosive bomb, from which the bomb shell is taken.
  • the built-in detonator 90 in the aerial bomb is located.
  • the ignition timing of the igniter 90 may be adjusted, for example, by the carrier aircraft. Either the ignition timing can coincide with the impact time or over a time delay after the impact time.
  • Fig. 2c is the penetrator in a position that is suitable for ignition of the small explosive charge 21.
  • the standardized bomb shell 10 has a receiving socket 14 for a wind turbine generator.
  • a cable channel 26 is arranged, which extends from the Zünderinformationkuchse 25 to the bottom opening 15 of the receiving socket 14 of the wind turbine generator.
  • the standardized bomb shell has a front mechanical interface 16 and a rear mechanical interface 17.
  • a front steering device 40 or a rear steering device 50 may be mounted.
  • the front steering device 40 may include a seeker head.
  • the rear steering device may have a tail with adjustable wings.
