Definitions

  • the invention relates to an ignition system for a scalable active system, which comprises at least one explosive charge, wherein a first ignition device is provided for initiating a subdetonation mechanism, with which an explosive charge can be excited for deflagration, wherein a second ignition device is provided for a detonative initiation of the explosive charge, and wherein the ignition devices are independently triggered by means of a control unit and both ignition devices are arranged immediately adjacent.
  • Such an ignition system is in the DE 10 2013 011 404 A1 described.
  • it is proposed to localize the initiation sites for the deflagrative and the detonative initiation of the explosive charge of the active system.
  • Both ignition devices can be triggered in quick succession, the time interval directly influencing the power scaling of the explosive charge.
  • the two ignition devices to be realized is not mentioned in this description of the invention.
  • the DE 10 2012 006 044 B3 deals with a method for measuring the course of a detonation front, which starts from a first ignition point to determine the appropriate ignition timing of the opposing second ignition point.
  • the DE 39 18 513 C1 relates to a safety device for a Doppelhohlladungsgefechtskopf, which allows the time-delayed ignition of the two shaped charges.
  • the DE 10 2009 017 160 B3 describes a warhead with an explosive charge, the front side has one or more active charges, which act only deflagrativ on the explosive charge.
  • a warhead with a cylindrical explosive charge can according to the DE 100 08 914 C2 with two opposing charges, one of which detonatively initiates the other but deflagratively, in the power output are set within very wide limits. None of the aforementioned inventions is suitable to solve the following problem.
  • the actual initiation of the sub-detonation mechanism is detected, which in turn causes the deflagration of the explosive charge.
  • the initiation of the explosive charge is thus prevented in good time and thus successfully precludes a complete detonation of the explosive charge.
  • active system means, for example, a warhead having at least one explosive charge which can be initiated with at least two different ignition devices in different ways, whereby the power output of the warhead can be adjusted within a wide range.
  • the invention is based on the experience that the ignition of scalable active systems by means of two arranged on the longitudinal axis of the active system ignition devices can at least cause problems, for example, when the target collision that ignition device to trigger the deflagration of the explosive charge is destroyed and then with the system almost full power detonated.
  • a first ignition device initiates the subdetonative conversion of the explosive, before then later in time the detonative initiation is initiated by means of a second ignition device.
  • the scalable power output is then adjusted over the delay time between the sub-detonation and the detonation.
  • the basic principle of the present ignition system is not dependent on the geometry of the active system. That in the FIG. 1 illustrated exemplary ignition system corresponds in structure to the standard of 3inch Air Force and Marine detonators. Thus, it is obvious to incorporate such an effective system in standardized active bodies GK , taking into account their manufacturing process.
  • the initiation of the detonation into the explosive charge S takes place via the explosive booster, which initiates laterally in the "side-light” process through the wall G the surrounding explosive S of the main charge.
  • the ignition system can be easily adapted to known active body.
  • FIG. 2 the block diagram of the ignition system is shown schematically simplified.
  • the sharpening begins either on the basis of a decision ARM1, ARM2 or on the basis of the sensor signals Sensor1, Sensor2, which each act on the safety logic. If all signals for a desired ignition are given in the safety logic, the power supply HV generation control is also provided for the ignition circuits.
  • An essential function in the safety logic suppresses an unwanted spark advance of the detonative output. It also contains a time function consisting of a programmable safety critical timer, which together with the function Back Up Timer controls the ignition circuit b and thus decides, depending on the output signal of the detonation monitor the detonative initiation of the active charge is carried out or not.
  • the ignition circuits a1 and a2 are initiated, which both act via detonators EFI or LEEFI on the amplifier charge Sprinter_Verchesr_Elements, which then triggers the Subdetonationsmechanismus.
  • the detonation monitor can optionally be arranged with the same effect on the booster charge or on the subdetonation mechanism.
  • the ignition circuit b is also initiated after a time delay dependent on the desired active charge power, so that the detonator initiates the active charge via a detonator EFI or LEEFI and another booster charge becomes.
  • the process of sharpening is as follows.
  • the ignition system receives its start signal either externally, such as from a ground clearance sensor or from the missile control, or the ignition system receives it from an internal impact sensor.
  • the start signal can either be done as a quick detonation (instantaneous ignition), or even with a time delay or even out of ambient conditions.
  • the deflagration mechanism is then started via the ignition circuits a1 and a2.
  • the detonation monitor checks the correct sequence and starts the programmed timer to initiate the detonation initiation via the Trigger ignition circuit b. From there, a regular ignition via another detonator EFI or LEEFI runs on another transformer-amplifier elements on the booster for detonative initiation of the active charge. Should this way fail, so the detonation initiation of the explosive charge S will not take place.
  • the timer in the central control unit is critical to safety, as a pre-ignition leads to an unwanted higher power output of the active system.
  • This timer is executed in accordance with the provisions of STANAG 4187. This design ensures that the set delay time for power control of the active system is not exceeded with a high level of safety.
  • the detonator can be executed in different ways. This can be a mechanical or an optical sensor. Coaxial cables, optical fibers or ionization sensors can be used as well.
