Description

Die Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit einer Artilleriemunition, insbesondere mit einem Artillerie-Effekt- Geschoss mit spezifischer, einstellbarer Signalwirkung. Dabei handelt es sich um die Generierung taktischer Wirkungen wie Erschrecken oder Lähmen in entfernteren Zielen. Zudem wird darauf eingewirkt, dass die Signalwirkung selbst weit über diejenige etablierter Geschosse, wie z.B. Leucht- oder Nebelgeschosse, hinausgeht. Eine letale Wirkung soll zudem weitestgehend vermieden werden. Teile der Erfindung sind aber auch auf andere großkalibrige Trägereinheiten z.B. Mörsermunitionen sowie Raketen übertragbar.The invention is concerned with an artillery ammunition, in particular with an artillery effect projectile with a specific, adjustable signal effect. This involves the generation of tactical effects such as frightening or paralyzing in more distant targets. In addition, it is acted on that the signal effect itself far beyond that of established floors, e.g. Luminescent or fog bullets, goes out. A lethal effect should also be largely avoided. Parts of the invention are, however, also applicable to other large-caliber carrier units e.g. Mortar ammunition and rockets transferable.

Bei der Artilleriemunition bilden Zünder und Gefechtskopf das Geschoss. Der Antrieb ist bei großkalibriger Munition in der Regel getrennt vom Geschoss ausgeführt und ermöglicht in Verbindung mit vorwählbaren Treibladungsstufen und Erhöhungen des Waffenrohres weitgehend beliebige Flugbahnen (Indirektes Feuer). Es gibt unterschiedliche Formen der Treibladung, die aber vom Ladungsgewicht immer variabel auf die jeweilige geforderte Flugbahn einstellbar sind. Die Geschosse können ihrerseits unterschiedlich ausgelegt sein und dementsprechend verschiedene Aufgaben erfüllen. Mit Bezug auf diese Aufgaben lassen sie sich gliedern, z. B. in Spreng-, Spreng-Üb-, Leucht-, und Nebel-Geschosse. Eine Einteilung erfolgt auch auf Basis ihrer grundsätzlichen Funktionsweise, in Geschosse "mit" und "ohne Ausstoß".In the case of artillery ammunition, the detonator and warhead form the projectile. In large-caliber ammunition, the drive is usually carried out separately from the projectile and, in conjunction with preselectable propellant charge levels and increases in the barrel, largely allows any trajectory (indirect fire). There are different forms of propellant charge, but the charge weight can always be variably adjusted to the required trajectory. The storeys themselves can be designed differently and can therefore perform different tasks. With regard to these tasks, they can be structured, e.g. B. in explosive, explosive practice, light, and fog projectiles. A division is also made on the basis of their basic functionality, in floors "with" and "without emission".

Geschosses "ohne Ausstoß" sind z. B. konventionelle Sprenggeschosse, bei denen über einen Kopfzünder die Zerlegung der Geschosshülle im Zielgebiet erfolgt und die Hülle im Zuge der Detonation einer eingebrachten Sprengladung endballistisch wirksame Splitter hervorbringt. Ein Zerlegergeschoss mit einer Markierungsladung offenbart beispielsweise die DE 39 19 314A1 .Projectiles "without ejection" are e.g. B. conventional explosive projectiles, in which the shell of the bullet is disassembled in the target area via a detonator and the shell produces end-ballistic fragments in the course of the detonation of an introduced explosive charge. A cutting floor with a marker load, for example, reveals that DE 39 19 314A1 ,

Demgegenüber besitzen Geschosse "mit Ausstoß", oft auch als Cargo-Geschosse bezeichnet, eine Trägerhülle und ein eingebrachtes Ausstoßsystem, mittels derer eine oder mehrere Sekundäreinheiten im Zielgebiet (Luftsprengpunkt) ausgestoßen werden. Die Wirkung der Sekundäreinheit erfolgt dabei oft eingestellt über ein Verzögerungselement erst nach dem Ausstoß. Bekannte Vertreter sind hier z.B. Leucht- und Nebelgeschosse, wie beispielsweise in der DE 10 2007 057 184 A1 oder der DE 102 49 920 A1 .In contrast, projectiles "with ejection", often also referred to as cargo projectiles, have a carrier shell and an inserted ejection system, by means of which one or more secondary units are ejected in the target area (air explosive point). The effect of the secondary unit is often adjusted via a delay element only after the ejection. Well-known representatives are, for example, illuminated and fog bullets, such as in the DE 10 2007 057 184 A1 or the DE 102 49 920 A1 ,

Als Spreng-Üb-Munition existieren Lösungen, die darauf abzielen zum Zwecke des Übungsbetriebes entsprechender militärischer Kräfte die Signatur bezüglich Rauch- Knall- und Blitzwirkung eines regulären Sprenggeschosses nachzustellen. In der DE 10 2011 010 183 A1 wird beispielsweise ein bekannter Innenaufbau eines Spreng-Übungs-Geschosses mit einteiliger Hülle in eine mehrteilige Cargo-Geschosshülle überführt. Der Innenaufbau umfasst die Signatur Knall, Blitz, Rauch etc. eines originären Sprenggeschosses. Zur Generierung einer spezifischen Signalwirkung bzw. bestimmter Effekte, insbesondere Blitz/Knall/Rauch bzw. Nebel, sind eine Reihe pyrotechnischer Sätze bekannt.As explosive practice ammunition, solutions exist which aim to simulate the smoke, bang and lightning effects of a regular explosive device for the purpose of training appropriate military forces. In the DE 10 2011 010 183 A1 For example, a known internal structure of an explosive training projectile with a one-piece casing is transferred to a multi-part cargo projectile casing. The interior structure includes the signature bang, lightning, smoke etc. of an original explosive device. A number of pyrotechnic sentences are known for generating a specific signal effect or certain effects, in particular lightning / bang / smoke or fog.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine mittels Artillerie ins Zielgebiet verbrachte spezifische Signalwirkung zu erzeugen, die gegenüber etablierter Artilleriemunition erhöhtes Niveau besitzt und mittels Knall-, Blitz-, Rauch-, Pfeif-, Heul- bzw. Nebel-Effekt(e) oder Kombinationen daraus in der Lage ist, den Gegner zu erschrecken und hinsichtlich seiner geplanten oder bereits in Durchführung befindlichen Aktivitäten zu lähmen.The invention has for its object to generate a specific signal effect brought into the target area by means of artillery, which has a higher level than established artillery ammunition and by means of bang, lightning, smoke, whistle, howl or fog effect (s) or Combinations of these are able to scare the opponent and paralyze him regarding his planned or already undertaken activities.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.The object is achieved by the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous refinements are listed in the subclaims.

Bisherige Lösungsansätze basieren lediglich auf der mittels der pyrotechnischen Sätze gegebenen Blitz-/Knall- und Rauchfunktion. Eine Nutzung der artilleriespezifischen Randbedingungen (Ausstoßfunktion, Vorhandensein von Drall im Moment der Auslösung) ist für die Darstellung eines Effektgeschosses bisher unbekannt. Die bekannten Spreng-Üb-Geschosse erbringen zwar eine Signatur, die im Hinblick auf Blitz-/Knall- und Rauchentwicklung den Signaturen entsprechender Sprenggeschosse nahe kommt. Die Wirkung des Effektes bzw. der Effektkombination bleibt aber im Hinblick auf die zeitliche und räumliche Ausdehnung, sowie Intensität hinter dem als taktisch notwendig erachteten Wirkungsniveau zurück.Previous approaches have only been based on the flash / pop and smoke function given by means of the pyrotechnic phrases. The use of the artillery-specific boundary conditions (ejection function, presence of swirl at the moment of triggering) has hitherto been unknown for the display of an effect bullet. The known explosive practice projectiles provide a signature that comes close to the signatures of corresponding explosive projectiles in terms of lightning / bang and smoke development. However, the effect of the effect or the combination of effects lags behind the level of effect deemed tactically necessary in terms of the temporal and spatial extent and intensity.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Idee zugrunde, die artilleriespezifischen Randbedingungen (Ausstoßfunktion und / oder Vorhandensein von Drall im Moment der Auslösung) und / oder Geschossgeschwindigkeit für die Darstellung / Erzeugung eines Effektes entsprechend zu nutzen. Des Weiteren soll eine Vorwahl bzw. Voreinstellung der Effektausprägung in mindestens oder wenigstens 2 Stufen möglich sein. Es werden Knall-, Blitz-, Rauch bzw. Nebel-Effekte oder Kombinationen davon generiert, die erheblich über dem Niveau entsprechender bekannter Sprenggeschoss liegen, hinsichtlich einer Gefährdung für Leib und Leben im Wirkgebiet durch Fragmente bzw. Splitter aber signifikant unter dem Niveau entsprechender Übungsmunitionen bleiben. Dazu werden die verschiedenen Zündarten ausgehend von der Funktionalität des Zünders so genutzt, dass die Wirkung spezifisch beeinflussbar bzw. voreinstellbar erfolgt. In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung kann der eigentliche Effekt (Haupteffekt) durch Aktivierung eines oder mehrerer entweder pyrotechnisch oder aeromechanisch betriebener Schallgeneratoren angekündigt werden, so dass die Aufmerksamkeit eines im Zielgebiet befindlichen Gegners auf den zeitlich später gelegenen Haupteffekt gerichtet wird.The invention is therefore based on the idea of correspondingly increasing the artillery-specific boundary conditions (ejection function and / or presence of swirl at the moment of triggering) and / or projectile speed for the display / generation of an effect use. Furthermore, a preselection or presetting of the effect expression should be possible in at least or at least 2 levels. Bang, lightning, smoke or fog effects or combinations thereof are generated, which are considerably above the level of the corresponding known explosive device, but are significantly below the level of corresponding practice ammunition in terms of a risk to life and limb in the area of action due to fragments or fragments stay. For this purpose, the different types of ignition based on the functionality of the igniter are used in such a way that the effect can be specifically influenced or preset. In a preferred embodiment, the actual effect (main effect) can be announced by activating one or more sound generators, either pyrotechnically or aeromechanically operated, so that the attention of an opponent in the target area is directed to the later main effect.

Kombinationen zur Effekterzeugung (Haupt-oder Nebeneffekt) können sein:

  • Pyrotechnisch (pyrotechnische Sätze = Blitz- Knall- etc.)
  • Aerodynamisch (Pfeifen, Sirenen etc.)
  • eine Kombination beider (z.B. durch pyrotechnische Sätze betriebene Pfeifen, Sirenen etc.).
Combinations for creating effects (main or side effect) can be:
  • Pyrotechnic (pyrotechnic phrases = lightning bang etc.)
  • Aerodynamic (whistles, sirens, etc.)
  • a combination of both (e.g. pipes operated by pyrotechnic sets, sirens etc.).

Die Erfindung basiert primär auf einer in einer (Artillerie-)Trägerhülle integrierten Sekundäreinheit zur Erzeugung eines Blitz-, Knall-, Rauch bzw. Nebeleffektes oder Kombinationen davon, die mittels (Artillerie-) Kopfzünder über ein Ausstoßsystem bzw. Anzündsystem wahlweise bzw. voreinstellbar im Zielgebiet ausgestoßen wird und nachfolgend mittels Verzögerungssystem ausgelöst oder ohne Verzögerung zwecks gewollter Beeinflussung des Effektes noch in der Trägerhülle befindlich zur Auslösung gebracht wird.The invention is primarily based on a secondary unit integrated in a (artillery) carrier shell for generating a lightning, bang, smoke or fog effect or combinations thereof, which can be selectively or preset in the (artillery) igniter via an ejection system or ignition system Target area is ejected and subsequently triggered by means of a delay system or triggered without delay in order to influence the effect while still in the carrier shell.

Eine Trägerhülle nimmt im Innern die Sekundäreinheit auf, die über den Geschossboden montierbar ist. Die Trägerhülle und/oder der Geschossboden ist / sind mit einer Einrichtung, z.B. Pfeifbohrungen, ausgestattet, die aeromechanisch mittels der Bewegung auf der Flugbahn ein Schallsignal zwecks Ankündigung des Effektgeschosses erzeugen.A carrier shell holds the secondary unit inside, which can be installed above the floor. The carrier envelope and / or the floor is / are equipped with a device, e.g. Whistle bores, which aeromechanically generate a sound signal by means of the movement on the trajectory for the purpose of announcing the effect bullet.

Als Geschosszünder ist der Einsatz unterschiedlicher Bauarten bzw. Funktionen vorgesehen. Ein Laufzeitzünder wird entsprechend der bekannten Flugbahn vorzugsweise eine Auslösung in größeren Höhen (100 bis 1000 m) bewerkstelligen; ein Bodenabstandszünder wenige Meter oberhalb des Bodens und ein Aufschlagzünder auf Bodenniveau, was eine erste Möglichkeit zur gezielten Vorwahl des Effektes zulässt. Der Zünderausgang löst zunächst die Zwischeneinrichtung aus, die auslösend auf die Sekundäreinheit wirkt.Different types or functions are intended to be used as projectile detonators. A runtime igniter will preferably trigger at higher altitudes (100 to 1000 m) in accordance with the known trajectory; a ground detonator a few meters above the ground and an impact detonator at ground level, which allows a first possibility to select the effect. The detonator output first triggers the intermediate device, which triggers the secondary unit.

Die Sekundäreinheit besitzt ein oder zum Zwecke der Redundanz mehrzahlig vorhandene Verzögerungselemente. Je nach Auswahl bzw. Voreinstellung der Verzögerungszeit wird eine Auslösung der Sekundäreinheit noch im Trägergeschoss bzw. teilausgestoßen bzw. vollständig ausgestoßen erfolgen, so dass sich hieraus eine zweite einfache Möglichkeit zur Einflussnahme / Einstellung des gewünschten Effektes ergibt.The secondary unit has one or multiple delay elements for redundancy. Depending on the selection or presetting of the delay time, the secondary unit will still be triggered on the main floor or partially ejected or fully ejected, so that this results in a second simple possibility for influencing / setting the desired effect.

Eine Einstellung der Verzögerungszeit bzw. vollständige Überbrückung der Verzögerung, z.B. mechanisch von außen am hergestellten Geschoss erscheint als eine sinnvolle Option. Je nach Verzögerung wirkt die o.g. Zwischeneinrichtung als Ausstoß- oder nur als Weiterzündeinrichtung.Setting the delay time or completely bridging the delay, e.g. mechanically from the outside on the manufactured floor appears to be a sensible option. Depending on the delay, the above Intermediate device as an ejection device or only as a further ignition device.

Für den Aufbau und die Auswahl der Werk- bzw. Explosivstoffe der Sekundäreinrichtung kommen verschiedene Konfigurationen in Betracht.Various configurations are possible for the construction and selection of the materials or explosives of the secondary device.

Möglich sind:

  • Schwarzpulverladungen
  • Blitz-Knall-Sätze z.B. auf Basis von Aluminiumpulver und Kaliumperchlorat
  • Metallpulver, bzw. Metallpartikel aus unedlen Metallen (Magnesium, Zirkonium, Aluminium) zur Erzeugung länger anhaltender somit bewusst wahrnehmbarer Leuchteffekte
  • Sprengladungen in Verbindung mit o.g. Metallpulvern
  • Nebelwirkmassen z.B. auf rotem Phosphor basierend in kompakter (gepresster) Form und/oder an dünne Trägerschichten gebundener Form (Flares)
  • Kombinationen des vorgenannten
  • Pfeifen durch Luftstrom angetrieben oder pyrotechnisch
  • Sirenen durch Luftstrom angetrieben oder pyrotechnisch
Possible are:
  • Black powder charges
  • Lightning bang sets, e.g. based on aluminum powder and potassium perchlorate
  • Metal powder or metal particles made of non-precious metals (magnesium, zirconium, aluminum) for the creation of long-lasting, therefore consciously perceptible lighting effects
  • Explosive charges in connection with the above metal powders
  • Fog active masses, for example based on red phosphorus in compact (pressed) form and / or in form bound to thin carrier layers (flares)
  • Combinations of the above

Eine besondere Lösung besteht in der Nutzung des artillerietypischen Dralls, der dem Geschoss zur Flugstabilisierung aufgeprägt wird und der auch beim Erreichen des Zielgebietes nur moderat abgebaut ist. Dieser soll genutzt werden, um eine in der Sekundäreinheit befindliche Füllung, bestehend aus den o.g. Wirkkompositionen, im Rahmen eines Ausstoßvorganges so aufzuteilen, dass eine Partikelwolke verfügbar wird, die nachfolgend - ggf. wieder mittels eines Verzögerungselementes zum Abbrand gebracht und in Folge der großen Ausdehnung und der Wolke in Verbindung mit den am Luftsauerstoff abreagierenden Partikelmassen einen intensiven Effekt hervorbringen wird.A special solution is to use the swirl typical of artillery, which is impressed on the projectile for flight stabilization and which is only moderately reduced when it reaches the target area. This is to be used to divide a filling in the secondary unit, consisting of the above-mentioned active compositions, as part of an ejection process so that a particle cloud becomes available, which is subsequently burned down - if necessary again by means of a delay element and as a result of the large expansion and the cloud in combination with the particulate masses reacting to atmospheric oxygen will produce an intensive effect.

Zur Generierung eines ankündigenden Schallsignals ist am Trägergeschoss bzw. am Geschossboden eine Einrichtung vorgesehen, die unter Ausnutzung der beim Flug natürlicherweise vorhandenen Anströmung einen entsprechenden Schall generiert.In order to generate an announcing sound signal, a device is provided on the carrier floor or on the floor of the floor that generates a corresponding sound using the inflow that is naturally present during flight.

Komplexer, aber ebenfalls möglich ist der Einbau eines separaten z.B. pyrotechnisch funktionierenden Schallgenerators, der im Rahmen der Geschossabfeuerung angesteuert wird.The installation of a separate e.g. pyrotechnically functioning sound generator, which is activated as part of the projectile fire.

Die Vorteile liegen in einer erweiterten Möglichkeiten zur Realisierung eines mittels Artillerie über große Reichweiten zur Verbringung bzw. in Szene zu setzenden Effektes. Zudem können die Effekte bezüglich Erscheinung, Dauer, Ausdehnung und Intensität im Rahmen der Herstellung zielgerichtet eingestellt werden. Die Generierung eines nachhaltigen optischen / akustischen Effektes bei minimalem Gefährdungspotential durch Fragmente oder Splitter wird möglich sowie die gezielte Einflussnahme auf den Effekt durch Möglichkeiten der Voreinstellung durch Auswahl der Zünder und ggf. durch veränderbare Verzögerungszeiten. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist die Nutzung des artillerietypischen Dralls zwecks Erzeugung einer Partikelwolke mit nachfolgender Anzündung und EffektgenerierungThe advantages lie in the expanded possibilities for realizing an effect to be brought into play or staged over long ranges by means of artillery. In addition, the effects in terms of appearance, duration, extent and intensity can be set in a targeted manner during the production. The generation of a sustainable optical / acoustic effect with minimal risk from fragments or fragments is possible as well as the targeted influence on the effect by means of presetting by selecting the detonators and, if necessary, by changing delay times. Another advantage is the use of the artillery-typical swirl for the purpose of generating a particle cloud with subsequent ignition and effect generation

Anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels mit Zeichnung soll die Erfindung näher erläutert werden.The invention will be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment with a drawing.

Es zeigt die einzige Figur ein Artillerie-Geschoss 100, bestehend aus einer Geschoss- oder Trägerhülle 1, einer Sekundäreinheit 2, mit einer Zentraleinheit 2a, einem Wirkmantel 2b und einem Liner 2c. Mit 3 ist ein Geschossboden, mit 4 ein Zünder gekennzeichnet. Der Zünder 4 umfasst einen Zünderausgang 4a. Eine Zwischeneinrichtung 5 ist zwischen dem Zünder 4 und der Sekundäreinheit 2 im Ogivenvolumen 7 eingebunden, wobei vor der Sekundäreinheit 2 zumindest ein Verzögerungselement 6 integriert ist. Die Einstellung des Verzögerungselementes 6 erfolgt durch die Einrichtung 6a. Die Sekundäreinheit 2 ist durch eine Ausstoßplatte 8 von dem Ogivenvolumen 7 getrennt, wobei die Zwischeneinrichtung 5 von dem Zünder 4 bis zu der Ausstoßplatte 8 reicht. Zur Stabilisierung des Geschosses 100 ist eine Stützeinheit bzw. ein Stützelement 9 vorgesehen. Am Geschossboden 3 ist ein Schallgenerator 10 integrierbar.The sole figure shows an artillery projectile 100, consisting of a projectile or carrier shell 1, a secondary unit 2, with a central unit 2a, an active jacket 2b and a liner 2c. 3 is a floor, 4 is an igniter. The igniter 4 comprises an igniter output 4a. An intermediate device 5 is integrated between the igniter 4 and the secondary unit 2 in the ogive volume 7, at least one delay element 6 being integrated in front of the secondary unit 2. The setting of the delay element 6 is carried out by the device 6a. The secondary unit 2 is separated from the ogive volume 7 by an ejection plate 8, the intermediate device 5 extending from the igniter 4 to the ejection plate 8. A support unit or support element 9 is provided to stabilize the projectile 100. A sound generator 10 can be integrated on the floor 3.

Die Sekundäreinheit 2 ist in einer Trägerhülle 1. Die Sekundäreinheit 2 besteht aus den vorgenannten verschiedenen Komponenten und kann über einen Geschossboden 3 in die Trägerhülle 1 montiert werden. Der Geschosszünder 4, der wahlweise als Laufzeitzünder, als Bodenabstandszünder oder als Aufschlagzünder zur Verfügung steht, wirkt mittels seines Zünderausgangs 4a auf die Zwischeneinrichtung 5. Die Zwischeneinrichtung 5 wirkt je nach Einstellung des Verzögerungselementes 6 mittels ihrer im Innern befindlichen Schwarzpulverladung oder eines vergleichbaren Treibladungspulvers entweder entsprechend der bei Cargo-Geschossen etablierten Weise als Ausstoßladung oder im Falle einer Überbrückung des Verzögerungselementes 6 lediglich als Weiterzündeinrichtung. In jedem Fall sorgt der Abbrand des im Innern der Zwischeneinrichtung 5 befindlichen Explosivstoffes für einen Druckaufbau im Ogivenvolumen 7. Über den entstehenden Gasdruck erfolgt über die Ausstoßplatte 8 und das ggf. in Teilkreissegmente unterteilte Stützelement 9 die Öffnung der Geschosshülle. Über die Einstelleinrichtung 6a des Verzögerungselementes 6 ist eine Vorwahl der Verzögerungszeit bis zur vollständigen Überbrückung vorgesehen. Bei Verzicht auf die Einstelleinrichtung 6a ist die Einstellung der Verzögerungszeit im Rahmen der Auslegung bzw. Herstellung des Verzögerungselementes 6 vorgesehen.The secondary unit 2 is in a carrier shell 1. The secondary unit 2 consists of the various components mentioned above and can be installed in the carrier shell 1 via a floor 3. The projectile detonator 4, which is optionally available as a time detonator, as a ground-distance detonator or as an impact detonator, acts on the intermediate device 5 by means of its detonator output 4a. The intermediate device 5 acts depending on Adjustment of the delay element 6 by means of its black powder charge located inside or a comparable propellant charge powder either in accordance with the manner established in cargo projectiles as an ejection charge or, in the event of the delay element 6 being bridged, merely as a further ignition device. In any case, the erosion of the explosive located inside the intermediate device 5 ensures a pressure build-up in the ogive volume 7. The gas pressure is generated via the ejection plate 8 and the support element 9, which may be subdivided into partial circle segments, to open the shell. A pre-selection of the delay time until complete bridging is provided via the setting device 6a of the delay element 6. If the setting device 6a is dispensed with, the setting of the delay time is provided as part of the design or manufacture of the delay element 6.

Die Sekundäreinheit 2 ist ihrerseits mit Explosivstoffen bzw. brennbarem Material gefüllt. Vorzugsweise bildet eine zentral positionierte mit Explosivstoff (Schwarzpulver, Blitz-Knall-Satz oder Sprengladung) gefüllte Zentraleinheit 2a den Ausgangspunkt für die Anzündung bzw. Einbeziehung des umgebenden Wirkmantels in den Reaktionsprozess, die mit der schnellen chemischen Umsetzung, die entsprechend der Auswahl der Materialien mit dem gewünschten Licht-, Knall-, Rauch- bzw. Nebeleffekt, einher geht.The secondary unit 2 is in turn filled with explosives or combustible material. Preferably, a centrally positioned central unit 2a filled with explosive (black powder, lightning bang or explosive charge) forms the starting point for the ignition or inclusion of the surrounding active cladding in the reaction process, which involves the rapid chemical reaction that corresponds to the choice of materials the desired light, bang, smoke or fog effect.

Um die Sensitivität des Geschosses 100 gegenüber äußerer Bedrohung, z.B. gegen Kleinkaliberbeschuss, Granatsplitter o.ä. herabzusetzen, ist der Anteil an vergleichsweise empfindlich reagierenden Explosivstoffen zu minimieren. Entsprechend diesem Interesse ist die Zentraleinheit 2a klein gegenüber dem Wirkmantel, der vorzugsweise aus gegenüber entsprechenden Bedrohungen unempfindlicherem Material z.B. Metallpulver besteht, dessen effektgenerierende Reaktion erst mit großen Oberflächen (Metallpartikelaufteilung) und Luftsauerstoff erfolgt.The sensitivity of the projectile 100 to external threats, e.g. against small bore fire, grenade fragments or similar To reduce the proportion of explosives that react comparatively sensitively is to be minimized. In accordance with this interest, the central unit 2a is small compared to the active jacket, which is preferably made of material that is less sensitive to corresponding threats, e.g. There is metal powder, the effect-generating reaction of which only takes place with large surfaces (metal particle division) and atmospheric oxygen.

Zur Unterstützung dieser Reaktion ist die zeitliche Reihenfolge eines Ausstoß- und Anzündvorganges vorzugsweise wie folgt vorgesehen:
Ein Ausstoß wird über den Zünder 4 durch Auslösung der Zwischeneinheit 5, die in der Figur als Ausstoßladung wirkt, an den Innenaufbau vermittelt. Über die Ausstoßplatte 8 und das beispielsweise segmentierte Stützelement 9 wird das Geschoss 100 am Geschossboden 3 geöffnet. Das Ausschieben der Sekundäreinheit 2 beginnt. Der vorhandene Drall, dem alle Geschosskomponenten unterliegen, bewirkt eine Aufteilung des Wirkmantels 2b bzw. des Wirkmaterials als Partikelwolke direkt hinter der weiter voran fliegenden Trägerhülle 1 und zwar beim Passieren der heckseitigen Stirnseite der Trägerhülle 1 infolge der Fliehkraft.To support this reaction, the chronological order of an ejection and ignition process is preferably provided as follows:
Ejection is transmitted to the internal structure via the igniter 4 by triggering the intermediate unit 5, which acts as an ejection charge in the figure. The projectile 100 on the floor 3 is opened via the ejection plate 8 and the segmented support element 9, for example. The secondary unit 2 begins to be pushed out. The existing swirl, to which all projectile components are subject, causes the active shell 2b or the active material to be divided up as a particle cloud directly behind the carrier shell 1 flying further ahead, namely when passing through the rear end face of the carrier shell 1 as a result of the centrifugal force.

Zum Schutz gegen ungewollte Beschädigungen oder Aktivierung im Zusammenhang mit der Abschussbelastung und/oder vorangehender Umweltbelastung (Vibration / Fall etc.) sind der Wirkmantel 2b und die Zentraleinheit 2a in dem Liner 2c eingebracht. Dieser bewirkt außerdem einen Zusammenhalt der Wirkmasse, soweit diese nicht durch separate Maßnahmen z.B. mittels eines Bindersystems ausreichend Zusammenhalt besitzt.To protect against unwanted damage or activation in connection with the launch load and / or previous environmental load (vibration / fall etc.), the active jacket 2b and the central unit 2a are incorporated in the liner 2c. This also brings about a cohesion of the active mass, unless this is done by separate measures e.g. has sufficient cohesion by means of a binder system.

Komponenten des Innenaufbaus sind dabei vorzugsweise aus leichten Materialien (z.B. Aluminium, Magnesium) aufgebaut, die im Zuge der Effektgenerierung selbst verbrennen und / oder aufgrund ihres geringen spezifischen Gewichtes und großen Oberflächen keine Gefährdung durch Niederfallen auf Menschen erwarten lassen.Components of the interior structure are preferably made of light materials (e.g. aluminum, magnesium), which burn themselves in the course of the effect generation and / or due to their low specific weight and large surfaces, no danger of falling down on people is to be expected.

Zur vollständigen Vermeidung von Gefährdungen durch niederfallende Teile ist für die Zukunft die Verwendung von Trägerhüllen vorgesehen, die mit Systemen zur Reduzierung der Fallenergie ausgerüstet sind (Fallschirm, Zerlegung etc. - nicht näher dargestellt -).In order to completely avoid hazards caused by falling parts, the use of carrier casings which are equipped with systems to reduce the fall energy (parachute, disassembly etc. - not shown in detail -) is planned for the future.

Unabhängig vom Innenaufbau des Geschosses ist an der Außenkontur des Geschosses eine Diskontinuität derart angebracht, dass mittels der Luftströmung beim Flug ein Schall erzeugt wird, der die Aufmerksamkeit umstehender und nicht zuletzt feindlicher Kräfte im Zielgebiet in Richtung des anfliegenden Effektgeschosses lenkt. Ein solcher Schallgenerator 10 ist dabei vorzugsweise am Boden angebracht, um Einflüsse auf die Ballistik und/oder Integrität der Trägerhülle 1 zu vermeiden.Regardless of the internal structure of the projectile, a discontinuity is attached to the outer contour of the projectile in such a way that a sound is generated by the air flow during flight, which directs the attention of surrounding and, not least, hostile forces in the target area in the direction of the approaching effect projectile. Such a sound generator 10 is preferably attached to the floor in order to avoid influences on the ballistics and / or integrity of the carrier casing 1.
