Definitions

  • the invention is concerned with the problem of programming a projectile during the pipe run or the like. In extension, it is intended to realize the transmission of energy to the projectile in the pipe run, etc.
  • the projectile For programmable ammunition, the projectile must be informed of its detonation time and / or flight path, ie it must be programmed. In systems in which the detonation time is calculated from the measured muzzle velocity V 0 , the information can be transmitted only at the mouth and / or in flight. If the programming takes place before exiting the weapon barrel, the projectile usually flies past a programming unit with the muzzle velocity V 0 and is therefore in relative motion to the programming unit.
  • a well-known programming unit is with the CH 691 143 A5 described.
  • the information about a counter-coil in / on the projectile is transmitted inductively.
  • an unshielded transmission coil can lead to unwanted radiation, since the coil also acts as an antenna.
  • the radiated signal can be detected and drawn from this conclusions on the location of the gun.
  • the projectile has peripheral optical sensors.
  • the battery from the DE 31 50 172 A is activated only after the cannon has left the cannon, which is done, among other things, by a mechanical timer. Also the battery in the DE 199 41 301 A is only activated by large accelerations during firing.
  • a receiving antenna on the detonator receives the radiated signal and carries it via a switch either to a rectifier device or to a acting as a de-modulator filter that filters out the data from the incoming signal.
  • the rectifier device serves to generate a supply voltage from the incoming signal, which is then stored.
  • a mechanism is installed in the projectile, which converts the necessary energy into electromagnetic energy from the acceleration after the ignition of the propellant charge, thereby charging a storage located in the projectile.
  • CH 586 384 A a method in which is displaced by the linear shot acceleration, a soft iron ring and a ring-shaped permanent magnet against an induction coil in the direction of the projectile axis, whereby in the coil, a voltage is generated, which charges a capacitor.
  • This unit is provided with a transport lock, which is only destroyed by the or a high acceleration during the shot.
  • the disadvantage here may be that the acceleration of the projectile is used in the gun barrel, as this can not be controlled exactly. This causes different energy charges, so that the projectile too much or too little energy is given along the way. Too little energy then has the disadvantage that the functionality is not guaranteed.
  • Another disadvantage is the complex and thus space consuming conversion mechanism for the conversion of mechanical energy into electromagnetic energy. In the case of the high environmental impact (impacts during firing, lateral acceleration and spin) on the projectile during firing, this mechanism can also be destroyed. To exclude this, constructive measures are necessary, which not only make the ammunition more expensive, but also claim further space in the projectile and make this heavier.
  • the invention has as its object to provide a projectile that allows simple design optimal programming and / or optimal energy transfer.
  • the invention is based on the idea of making programming and energy transmission inductively and / or capacitively. These are located in the projectile, a sensor that receives the programming signal, as well as an electrically connected to this sensor processor that performs the programming and thereby initiates the ignition of the projectile at a predetermined time. An electrical memory is used to power the electronics of the processor. This receives its energy in the preferred embodiment when passing through a gun barrel and / or a muzzle brake.
  • the weapon tube used as a waveguide, muzzle brake or additional part between gun barrel and muzzle brake, as well as attachable to the muzzle brake part below the cutoff frequency is operated.
  • Such a method with device is for measuring the muzzle velocity of a projectile or the like already from the DE 10 2006 058 375 A known.
  • Technically widespread are mainly rectangular and round -Hohlleiter), which, however, operated below the cutoff frequency of the respective waveguide mode.
  • the WO 2009/141055 A continues this idea and combines two measurement methods of V 0 measurement.
  • Applicant's co-pending applications show a method and apparatus for programming and energy transfer which essentially involves building the weapon-side integration of the assemblies for programming and / or power transfer.
  • the V 0 measurement is preferably carried out with the aid of a waveguide.
  • Such a solution may in this case be the basis for weapon-side programming as well as energy transfer to the projectile.
  • Fig. 1 to 3 show a projectile or an ammunition 1 with at least one sensor 2 for receiving a programming signal with the frequency f 3 and / or a power transmission signal with the frequency f 2 .
  • the sensor may for example be a coil for an inductive and / or an electrode for a capacitive signal transmission.
  • 7 with an ignition (electrical) is characterized, which is electrically connected to an electronics (processor) 6 and an energy storage 5.
  • the signal with the frequency f 2 energizes the memory 5 with energy and the signal with the frequency f 3 programs the electronics 6, for example with the detonation time.
  • the memory 5 supplies the electronics 6 and the igniter 7 with electricity.
  • the energy transfer can be tuned to the signal of the programming. It will be in Fig. 1 used the programming signal with the frequency f 3 ⁇ f 2 , so that for reasons of space savings, the same sensor 2 can be used for both processes. In this preferred embodiment, therefore, only one sensor 2, the programming and an energy transfer to provide energy for the memory 5 in the projectile 1 is used. This is also supported by the fact that the energy transfer during the passage of the projectile 1 through a gun barrel, a muzzle brake, etc., and the programming take place in time after this transfer of energy. Of course, it is also possible to use two separate sensors and to interconnect them firmly.
  • the energy input takes place at the projectile 1 by the reception of a frequency f 2 and the programming by the reception of a frequency f 3 .
  • a bandpass 3, 4 is integrated, which on the one hand passes the signal with the frequency f 2 to the memory 5 and on the other hand, the signal with the frequency f 3 to the electronics 6.
  • the two bandpass filters 3, 4 thus separate the received signals according to their frequencies.
  • Fig. 2 shows the connection to the memory 5 of the energy path and Fig. 3 the connection of the sensor 2 with the electronics 6 of the programming path.
  • Fig. 4 reflects the programming process with the condition f 2 ⁇ f 3 .
  • the weapon-side structure for the programming or energy transmission reference is made to the two parallel applications of the Applicant.
  • the projectile or the ammunition or the projectile 1 flies into the waveguide, not shown.
  • the energy is transferred to the projectile 1 within the waveguide HL1.
  • These are either the bandpass filter 3, 4 or according to the embodiment Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 the controller 8 is used.
  • the programming is carried out, for example, within the waveguide HL2.
  • Both waveguides mentioned can also be formed by one and the same waveguide. If multiple arrays of waveguides are present and they pass through successively (if N> 1: yes), the process repeats. Otherwise, the projectile 1 emerges from the waveguide.
  • the electrical paths in the projectile 1 must be mutually opened or closed. This is done in the simplest version by the switch 8 in the ammunition.
  • a plurality of waveguides may be present, which are passed through successively (path N> 1: yes), before the projectile 1 leaves the waveguides.
