Definitions

  • the invention is concerned with a hydrodynamic (explosive) projectile, in particular with a concrete-refractive ammunition or a penetration projectile with a high secondary effect with regard to the avoidance of collateral damage due to blast action and dispensing with detonators.
  • a hydraulic system is integrated.
  • a well-known explosive round shows the DE 10 2005 050 973 A1 on. Another is the one DE 10 2007 001 998 A1 removable. With the DE 10 2008 010 707 A1
  • an explosive projectile and a method for its production is disclosed. All are based on explosives.
  • explosive-based ammunition has the disadvantage that it develops a high blast effect and, associated with this, the generation of collateral damage.
  • In connection with detonators also arise the problem of Vorrohr- and Kochflugterrorism and the long-term danger in ignition and hit failure (dud).
  • the purely KE-based ammunition have the disadvantage of a high launch weight and a limited effect.
  • the invention has the object to show a projectile, especially an explosive projectile, which avoids collateral damage by blast effect, etc.
  • the invention is based on the idea of integrating a hydrodynamic system instead of an explosive charge into the projectile.
  • Hydraulic applications in projectiles have been known in the literature for many years. That's how it deals GB 572,732 with the integration of a hydraulic medium in a projectile. By lowering a piston, this liquid is constricted and pressed against the armor piercing means, which is thereby pressed against a projection.
  • a projectile with a hydraulic cylinder describes the US 6,675,718 B1 , This is located in the head part of the projectile.
  • a working floor is combined with a hydraulic system.
  • the impact force of the primary missile is transmitted to an internal tappet piston which is placed in an abutment of the projectile which is fitted with a hydraulic fluid, e.g. Water is filled, driven.
  • a hydraulic fluid e.g. Water is filled, driven.
  • the liquid envelope or the anvil is designed so that it tears at a defined pressure increase and fragmented.
  • These radially accelerated fragment chips then produce the intended secondary effect during the primary penetration process.
  • This effect can be further enhanced if the space between the bullet casing and liquid column casing is additionally filled with chips.
  • this liquid energy outbreak can be used as a drive principle for sub-projectiles.
  • the hydraulic effect can also be used as a brake spring post-acceleration for penetration. For this, the compressibility of liquids present in the considered pressure range is utilized. It is also possible a suitably designed spring or the mechanical use of the wedge effect for disassembly of the shell.
  • the advantages of this concept are that in addition to the normal effect of a bullet type (design of the bullet tip eg as FAP or PELE type) an all-round secondary effect is achieved.
  • the overall effect is stronger than with an explosive projectile, but without HE and without detonator.
  • the principle is independent of caliber, reinforced in the larger caliber range> 40 mm, and for all working bullets at MK, PzK, PzH but also GMW, Mortar, Pz-fist, rockets and bombs applicable.
  • the basic principle enables a simple, application and functionally reliable as well as inexpensive ammunition design.
  • the design of a projectile based on this principle of hydraulic pulse amplification can be very flexible.
  • the hydraulic fluid can be designed according to a desired compressibility.
  • liquid propellants / explosives (with less blast effect than explosives) or corresponding gels can be used.
  • this principle of hydrodynamic action can be interpreted as a projectile based purely on kinetic energy, which acts like an explosive-based bullet without having the negative properties of the explosive and does not require any electric / electronic igniters. Accordingly, it can be designed easily, functional and safe to use as well as cost-efficient.
  • the ammunition design is possible both as a full-scale and as a sub-caliber projectile on a KE basis as a HDKE projectile or as an enhancement of an HE effect as a HDHE projectile.
  • the concept presented here provides that the piston (plunger) and in particular the piston head is structurally firmly connected to the projectile wall and thus forms a closed system, so that the hydraulic system during inception and flight is inactive and is activated only on impact. In particular, no volume change of the liquid occurs during the firing process.
  • a balancing projectile or the like in particular explosive projectile with a fragmentable projectile casing, comprising a hydraulic system consisting of a piston with a piston head and an abutment.
  • the anvil is designed so that it receives a hydraulic fluid and between a projectile tip and a bullet end, in an explosive projectile at least in the region of the bursting bullet casing, is involved.
  • a conventional working projectile 10 with a projectile casing 1, as e.g. AP, FAP or ABM (also unprogrammed) is combined with a hydraulic system 2.
  • the hydraulic system 2 consists of a plunger or piston 3 with a piston head 4 and an abutment 5, which receives a hydraulic fluid 6.
  • the hydraulic system 2, in particular the anvil 5, is integrated at least in the area 1.1 of the fragmentable projectile casing 1.
  • a projectile 8 used here is designed so that a reaction force against the projectile internal piston head 4 is exerted on the impact of the primary missile 8 on a (fixed) target (not shown in detail).
  • a projectile can be omitted if it is a pure explosive projectile.
  • the piston head 3 is then driven directly into the projectile tip 9 by the force acting on it.
  • the abutment 5 of the projectile 1 filled with a hydraulic fluid (such as water) 6 is driven, the abutment 5 rupturing and the projectile casing 1 in the area 1.1 tears.
  • the effect can be increased if a splitter material 7 is provided between the projectile casing 1 and the abutment 5. This is then accelerated with the tearing of the anvil 5.
  • the diameter of the piston 3 i.e., its internal diameter
  • the diameter of the piston head 4 is correspondingly smaller than the diameter of the piston head 4.
  • the counter bearing (liquid column) 5 is designed so that it is smaller in diameter from the diameter D f than that of the piston D k .
  • the Fig. 2 shows the compression behavior of various liquids and liquid explosives under pressurization. With a pressure increase to eg 8 kbar, water is reduced to 81% and methanol to 76% of the initial volume. The behavior can be described by means of the known Tait equation of state for liquid.
  • liquid can be considered any compressible and / or decomposable material, that is to say a liquid, such as e.g. Water, a gel, glass or plastic.
  • the hydraulic effect can be exploited by means of the physical property of the compressibility of liquids which is effective in the considered pressure range, as quasi brake spring post-acceleration of the projectile head. Furthermore, this liquid energy outbreak can be used as a drive principle for sub-projectiles.
