Definitions
- the present invention relates to pyrotechnic compositions of low toxicity advantageously intended for the protection of land platforms (such as vehicles or armored vehicles), in particular against infrared guided threats. Said compositions make it possible to produce an effective camouflage cloud in the visible and infrared range.
- the masking compositions currently used generally comprise an oxidizing / reducing couple, and a compound serving as fuel (fuel oil). During combustion, the fuel makes it possible to generate particles of shape and size adapted to ensure effective masking in the visible and infrared, in particular for the spectral window of between 3 and 14 ⁇ m.
- These compositions include chlorinated compounds, such as CLONACIRE® (composition comprising a mixture of chlorinated naphthalenes with a degree of substitution greater than 3) or hexachloroethane. These play the role of either an oxidizer or a particle generator product.
- the threshold for the first lethal effects and the threshold for irreversible effects associated with gaseous HCl for 10 minutes of exposure are 1300 ppm (threshold for first lethal effects, or 1937 mg / m 3 ), and 240 ppm (threshold for irreversible effects, or 358 mg / m 3 ).
- brominated compounds in pyrotechnic compositions is already known, in particular for applications as a decoy for the protection of aerial targets against infrared-guided threats, without however addressing the problem of the toxicity of said compositions.
- the effects sought in this case are generally not masking fumes but infra-red radiation imitating the radiation from the engine of aerial platforms.
- patents US 3,498,925 and US 3,400,082 teach the use of metallic or organometallic compounds but not halogenated to reduce the toxicity of pyrotechnic compositions for masking in the visible.
- Requirement US 2012/0267016 which relates to smoke-producing compositions for masking in the visible, for its part recommends the use of a mixture comprising melamine and polymethylated methylgallate.
- these compositions comprise sucrose as fuel, and a chlorate as oxidant.
- the patent US 4,238,254 describes pyrotechnic compositions for visible masking, including guanidine nitrate, which produces basic compounds capable of neutralizing hydrogen chloride (HCl) or phosphorus pentoxide produced in fumes.
- Requirement EP 1 876 161 teaches a pyrotechnic charge for the production of infrared radiation containing a brominated compound as fuel and / or as an oxidizing agent.
- a polyaromatic or polyheteroaromatic compound substituted with 1 to 3 bromine atoms as fuel in a pyrotechnic composition, preferably a fumigant, makes it possible to significantly reduce the toxicity of the pyrotechnic compositions. compared to those of the prior art, while retaining their masking performance both in the visible and in the infrared.
- spectral window is understood to mean a wavelength domain.
- polyaromatic compound is understood to mean a C10 to C14 hydrocarbon-based compound, consisting of 2 to 3 adjoining aromatic rings.
- polyaromatic compounds mention may be made in particular of naphthalene, anthracene and phenanthrene.
- it is naphthalene and anthracene, more preferably naphthalene.
- polyheteroaromatic compound means a compound consisting of 2 to 3 aromatic or heteroaromatic rings joined together and comprising at least one nitrogenous heteroaromatic ring.
- polyheteroaromatic compounds mention may be made in particular of quinoline, isoquinoline and naphthyridine. Preferably, it is quinoline.
- chlorinated compound means an organic compound comprising at least one chlorine atom, in particular a compound comprising at least one chlorine carbon bond (C-Cl).
