Definitions

  • the invention relates to a reactive protection arrangement for the protection of stationary or mobile objects against threats, which is particularly effective against hollow charges (HL threats), explosive or projectile-forming charges (P-charges) and Balloons (KE ammunition).
  • HL threats hollow charges
  • P-charges explosive or projectile-forming charges
  • KE ammunition Balloons
  • the effective components In reactive systems, the effective components must be accelerated to speeds of several 100 m / s, in order to reach the up to 10 km / s impinging hollow charge jets still with laterally acting perturbation masses.
  • the accelerated target plates must basically bridge the crater formed by the jet tip in order to reach the passing beam laterally.
  • the structure of the arrangement and in particular its angle to the threat are the determining parameters here.
  • multi-layered and also highly inclined reactive protective structures are achieved as rapidly as possible and also over a relatively long period of time (or a larger jet length) effective jet disturbance. In general, however, this leads to structures with a lot of explosives and a large construction depth in relation to the covered area.
  • the proportion of construction-related areas or areal masses (dead masses) increases.
  • the protective arrangement described in EP 1 846 723 B1 itself consists of a carrier of any shape inclined in the area of impact or impact of the threat onto which pyrotechnic layers are applied on both sides. By igniting both layers, shock waves and reaction gases are formed and accelerated both against and in the direction of the penetrating threat. As a result, both the front, high-performance radiation elements and a considerable part of the total beam length are disturbed in shaped charges.
  • the pyrotechnic structure is at least approximately in a dynamic equilibrium over the entire time of action and exerts no endballistisch relevant or destructive influences on the environment.
  • the reactive protection arrangement for the protection of stationary or movable objects against threats from shaped charges, projectile-forming charges or balancing projectiles which is attached or attachable to a threat facing side of the object to be protected has at least one protective surface arranged at an angle of inclination with respect to the threat direction wherein said guard surface comprises a threat facing front cover, a back facing away from the threat and spaced from the front cover, and at least one stationary or movable reactive mid layer between the front cover and the back cover, the at least one reactive middle layer having at least two reactive faces each having at least one explosive field and wherein the reactive partial surfaces of the at least one reactive middle layer are dammed on all sides.
  • the present invention provides a protective structure / protection concept which is at least equivalent to the known arrangements in subareas, but clearly superior in its entirety.
  • the invention relates to a partially filled with explosives reactive protection arrangement in which the impending threat usually only a relatively small part of the total area triggers and thereby in particular causes no or little lateral damage.
  • Such a reactive protection device combines a very high efficiency with a minimum detonating explosive surface.
  • the reactive protection arrangement is fixedly or detachably affixed or attachable to a threat-facing side of the object to be protected, and has at least one reactive protective layer inclined with respect to the threat and having special design features.
  • This reactive protective layer in turn is delimited in the direction of the threat by a front cover (usually a planar element) and on the back by a rear cover / protective plate / dent.
  • the reactive protective layer has explosive-deposited partial fields / partial surfaces which each extend over a part of the protective layer.
  • an all-round dam is provided for the reactive occupancy / partial occupancy of the protection area (occupancy of the explosive surface or of the explosive field), whereby the nature of this accumulation is assigned specific (special, characteristic) properties.
  • the present invention relies on the manner of dam of the individual explosive-occupied active fields.
  • dam the term "dam" will be explained below.
  • the effect of the reacting explosive on its environment results from the resulting reaction gases and the impact load on the explosives surrounding body / materials or surfaces.
  • the manner of transition of the impact energy at the interface between the explosive and the boundary wall is crucial.
  • Another factor is the transport / continuation / propagation of the impact energy both in the reaction volume not yet involved in the reaction (reached from the reaction front) and in the surrounding medium.
  • the all-round dam of the reactive partial surfaces of the at least one reactive middle layer of the at least one protective surface is achieved by the front cover, the rear cover and by a lateral damming of the partial surfaces.
  • the total mass of the explosive of the reactive protection arrangement can be significantly reduced by the use of such protective elements (pyrotechnic partial surfaces) in comparison to the full-surface explosive coverage in terms of area distribution and necessary thickness of coverage.
  • the free choice of the materials used can influence the shock wave propagation and thus the dynamics of the process. Due to the partial surface coverage also materials can be used, which can not be used in conventional reactive armor due to their mechanical or dynamic properties.
  • a particular advantage of the protection arrangement according to the invention is its multihit capability, i. the effectiveness against multiple threats.
  • the triggered protective element reduces the remaining reactive protective surface according to its size, the relatively small area of this element in the ratio of a full-area explosive layer leaves the majority of the area to be protected reactively occupied and thus fully functional.
  • the explosive field can be filled with an insensitive explosive, which nevertheless thoroughly penetrated in a sufficiently short time due to the optimal containment and thus also achieves a high protective efficiency.
  • an insensitive explosive which nevertheless thoroughly penetrated in a sufficiently short time due to the optimal containment and thus also achieves a high protective efficiency.
  • the confinement between the fields may be made correspondingly thin to avoid ignition of the adjacent field.
  • the use of insensitive explosives simplifies the manufacture and handling of the protective layers and thus of the entire protection arrangement.
  • the division of the area occupied by the explosive is largely left to the user when the relevant design regulations are observed. This applies in particular to the optimal distribution of the protective fields as well as to their subdivision or field size. The distribution can be even or uneven. Also, the geometric design of the fields and the structure of the protective surfaces are largely freely selectable. In this way, for example, strip-like, checkered or otherwise designed surface assignments can be realized. Such distributions are of particular interest in coordinated multi-layer occupancies.
  • the carrier plate system-related specifications or intended further protection properties can be largely adapted.
  • they may be made of light metal, steel or a non-metallic material.
  • the lateral dam of the explosive field / explosive fields shall be designed in accordance with the parameters specific to the specific parameters.
  • the dynamic effectiveness derives both from the physical / mechanical principles and from the specific properties of the layers / interfaces involved in the passage of shock waves.
  • the interfaces between the dynamic middle layer and the internal dams and adjacent materials are crucial.
  • the pyrotechnic protective structure according to the invention consists of a carrier (rear cover) of any shape inclined in the area of impact or impact of the threat onto which the at least one pyrotechnic protective surface (reactive middle layer) is applied.
  • both the front powerful beam elements and a considerable part of the rear / remaining beam length are deflected / disturbed in shaped charges, thereby decisively reducing the penetration power of the threat.
  • the pyrotechnic structure exerts little or no end ballistic relevant or destructive influences on the environment, ie neither on the outside / the battlefield nor on the structure to be protected. It is a very simple and basic protection arrangement, which is basically subject to no limitations or restrictive technical specifications. This leads to a level of innovation that is not achieved by any previously known reactive protection arrangement.
  • the presented protective surface is suitable to effect a strong increase in the level of protection in a number of known armor both by an upstream circuit as well as by integration.
  • pyrotechnic protective surfaces according to the invention can be combined with protective arrangements against P charges or KE threats. In any case, small dead masses are needed when optimizing against several types of threats.
  • the explosive surface to be occupied and thus the expended explosive mass per protective element compared to previously known reactive armor significantly be lower.
  • the thickness of the explosive coverings can be about 50% of the mean beam diameter at an angle between the defense area and the threat of more than 45 °.
  • the explosive films or the assignments may have varying thicknesses.
  • the effectiveness of a partial surface for example to compensate for different depths of protection or jobs can be influenced.
  • very broad-band arrangements with high overall efficiency can result.
  • the influence of shock wave transmission has already been pointed out.
  • the depth of engagement can be increased, i. Multiple beam particles and thus a larger beam length in the target passage can be disturbed.
  • Known, dynamically compacted by explosives glass body affect such a structure. However, these are relatively difficult in the known arrangements not least due to the required thicknesses and associated lateral dimensions in the mass balance of armor.
  • the intermediate layers in arrangements according to the invention have other objectives and are also completely different dimensions.
  • the explosive layers required for pyrotechnic protective surfaces according to the invention have only low demands on manufacturing tolerances, surface quality and production methods. This greatly increases the scope in the design of protective elements.
  • a further improvement results from the basically known method of proving the surfaces of the pyrotechnic layers with materials of different densities and different properties up to a desired dynamic decomposition behavior.
  • Advantageous for such assignments in addition to the usual reactive arrangements for materials such as steel, titanium or duralumin, materials of lower or higher density, decomposing or delaminating materials, plastics, composite materials or ceramics are used.
  • Physically interesting substances are shock-resistant, but at relatively low deformation speeds soft materials such as rubber or polymeric materials.
  • materials of lower density than aluminum are, for example, metallic or non-metallic foams, as materials of higher density heavy metals, usually on a tungsten basis.
  • the layers of explosive and inert materials are introduced into prefabricated pockets of the protective surfaces or the protection module, whereby a simple and production-oriented adaptation of the reactive protection can be made to the object to be protected.
  • the design of the protective surface is completely free. It is preferably a substantially flat surface, but may also assume a curved or otherwise shaped shape. Required is only a sufficient inclination towards the direction of threat in the area of effect. Due to the high efficiency of the pyrotechnic coating, the minimum angles in the arrangement proposed here are to be interpreted as 10 ° to 15 ° lower in comparison to known reactive structures. Since it is assumed in sandwiches of conventional construction of a minimum inclination angle of 45 °, is in the present Arrangement a mean angle between threat and defense of 30 ° to 45 ° sufficient. However, larger angles also increase the efficiency, if feasible. The angle between the defense surface and the threat can be formed by the employment of the entire surface or by geometric modifications by technical or constructive measures.
  • pyrotechnic protection surfaces can form a continuous surface or be constructed of individual modules with gaps or other separations (for example, surface segments, blinds, separate or interlocking modules).
  • the technical design of the load-bearing element (s) or the coverings of the protective surface is in principle not subject to any restrictions (for example metallic, non-metallic, structured, single-layer or multilayer).
  • the covers may be rigid or deformable / movable, and their thicknesses may range from film thickness to a solid plate or thicker structure.

Since the reactive occupied subfields 4A of the present invention in comparison to conventional reactive armor can be extremely small, the importance of marginal hits or near-edge hits grows. Depending on the range of application, it is therefore advantageous for the sheets or surfaces to be accelerated to be accelerated in terms of their design and even to hits in the edge region vote. This is done in a particularly simple manner in that both accelerated components in the size of individual fields can be used as well as assignments with a larger area.
