Definitions

  • the invention relates to a projectile or an ammunition, also with a training bullet or a training ammunition, on the one hand compared to the introduced combat or mecanicsmunitäon up to a predefined combat distance ballistic equality, on the other hand degrades faster when exceeding this distance the speed and thus compared to the imported ammunition has a significantly limited overall range.
  • a security system for malleable ammunition with self-decomposition is known.
  • a self-separation mechanism remains active until a check of the function of a detonator is completed. If the result is negative, a self-decomposition takes place, which is thus placed at the beginning of the mission. Further self-separation devices can be taken from DE 100 20 637 C1 or DE 43 35 938 C2.
  • the invention takes on the task to show an ammunition that meets the safety requirements of the users.
  • the object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
  • Advantageous embodiments are the dependent claims.
  • the invention is based on the idea of specifying an ammunition which in a so-called main combat distance does not undergo any external ballistic disturbances which, however, if the target has not been hit, can reduce the velocity much faster. Especially during practice ammunition they have to show as much as possible the same characteristics as the corresponding combat ammunition within the training main combat detachment, but then they can reduce the speed much faster. These requirements are ensured by the fact that after reaching this Trents, Main combat distance, the air resistance of the projectile is increased or the trajectory of the projectile is influenced in such a way that the speed is reduced faster and the trajectory is reduced (shortened). For this purpose, a change is made on the floor, which causes the change in air resistance or the change in Fiug s.
  • the ammunition or the practice round consists of a projectile body, which receives a bullet-giver.
  • a bullet-giver This e.g. screwed or snapping Geunterogive has in a first variant at least one predetermined breaking point. Along this predetermined breaking point, the bullet-proof can be torn open. The tearing then changes the air resistance of the projectile.
  • the Geunterogive is preferably made of plastic, alternatively aluminum, etc.
  • the projectile body may consist of steel, in the projectile body is further provided a pressure-generating charge which act on the Geunterogive with predetermined breaking point and this can tear or open.
  • At least one delay element is integrated in the projectile body.
  • the at least one retardation element can also be introduced in addition to the tracer track. With two or more delay elements, these are to be mounted symmetrically in the projectile body.
  • the number of delay elements "n" is freely selectable, preferably the pyrotechnic retardation elements
  • the tracer and the deceleration element (s) are in contact with the pressure generating charge at the end of their focal length, which is also carried in the projectile body Again, this is preferably a pyrotechnic charge
  • the design of the plastic log and the projectile body is made in such a way that the ballistic equality with the introduced combat or practice ammunition is maintained.
  • Tracer light as well as retardation element (s) are designed so that they allow the projectile to fly smoothly over a certain distance (main combat distance). Therefore, according to the distance or time of flight of the projectile, they have a charge with a preset nominal burning time. Due to the hot powder gases when the projectile is fired, the tracer track or the pyrotechnic retardation element (s) are ignited in the projectile body. After leaving the gun barrel on the trajectory of the projectile is fired by the one or more delay elements and their delay lines or by the tracer at the end of the preset burning duration arranged in the projectile body pressure generating charge. As a result of the internal pressure arising in the projectile, the projectile giveaway opens along its predetermined breaking points, thereby changing the aerodynamic resistance of the projectile. This changed air resistance ensures that a predetermined residual flight distance is not exceeded.
  • the nozzle or the nozzles are each covered by a membrane or rupture disc, which ruptures under pressure.
  • a pressure-generating charge in the projectile body, which is functionally connected to the at least one tracer track and / or the at least one deceleration element.
  • burning burning time
  • the initiation of the pressure charge takes place, which then acts on the projectile in such a way that after reaching a time of flight (depending on the burning time) the trajectory of the projectile is influenced.
  • the advantage of this construction is, among other things, that all demands for ballistic equality are met up to a predefined combat distance.
  • the desired shot distances can be adjusted before production by adjusting the burning time of the delay lines in the delay elements and the light track.
  • Newer applications also provide for the setting of the burn time of the delay elements on site.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first variant in a side view in sectional view
  • Fig. 3 shows the combination of both variants in a side view in a sectional view
  • Fig. 4 is a rear side plan view of the variants.
  • FIG. 1 shows a projectile 1 with a projectile 2 and a projectile body 3.
  • the projectile 2 is mounted on the projectile body 3, for example screwed.
  • the Geunterogive 2 is preferably made of a plastic.
  • the projectile 2 has on the supply side at least one Soilbruchstelle 4.
  • the predetermined breaking point is preferably integrated in the longitudinal direction of the projectile 1. However, several predetermined breaking points 4, at least two, have proved to be advantageous.
  • the projectile body 3 which may preferably consist of steel, four pyrotechnic retardation elements 6 are mounted symmetrically about the tracer 5 next to a tracer 5 here.
  • the tracer 5 as well as the pyrotechnic see delay elements 6 have at the end of their firing contact to a pressure-generating pyrotechnic charge 7.
  • the number "n" of the delay elements 6 is arbitrary and not limited to four. Accordingly, it may be sufficient if only a delay charge 6 is integrated. In the presence of a tracer 5 also delay elements 6 can also be dispensed with entirely if the function of triggering the charge 7 is taken over by the tracer 5. For a high level of functional reliability, however, at least two delay lines or delay elements 6 should be provided.
  • the pyrotechnic pressure charge 7 is limited by a bursting membrane 8.
  • FIG. 2 shows a projectile 11 with a projectile 12 and a projectile body 13.
  • the projectile body 13 which likewise preferably consists of steel, four pyrotechnic retardation elements 16 are mounted symmetrically about the tracer track 15 in addition to a tracer track 15.
  • the tracer 15 as well as the pyrotechnic delay elements 16 have at the end of their firing contact with a pressure-generating pyrotechnic charge 17.
  • the number of delay elements 16 is also freely selectable.
  • the bullet train 2 concludes in this embodiment with a cover 18 from which in turn limits the charge 17.
  • the projectile body 13 on the circumference at least one the projectile body 13 penetrating opening 19, which is closed by means of a rupture disk 10.
  • FIG. 3 shows the combination of the two variants in a projectile 21 with a projectile 22 and a projectile body 23.
  • the projectile 22 has at least one predetermined breaking point 24 and the projectile body 23 has at least one opening 29 on the circumference, preferably in the form of a nozzle which enlarges outwards , This is closed by a rupture disk 20.
  • a pressure generating charge 27 is limited by a bursting membrane 28.
  • the projectile body 23 at least one tracer track 25 and here four delay elements 26 are integrated.
  • the tracer track 25 as well as the pyrotechnic delay elements 26 have contact with the pyrotechnic pressure charge 27 at the end of their firing plugs.
  • FIG. 4 shows the projectile 1, 11, 21 in a rear view.
  • Well visible here is the symmetrical arrangement of the delay elements 6, 16, 26 to the tracer 5, 15, 25. This arrangement is the preferred embodiment, but is for the operation not mandatory.
  • Alternative integrations are known to the person skilled in the art, such as an asymmetrical arrangement and / or an alignment of the delay elements 6, 16, 26 running at an angle to the charge 7, 17, 27.
  • the adjustable burning time of the light track 5, 15, 25 as well as the delay elements 6, 16, 26 is determined according to the present idea by the distance to the target, the time t of the projectile in the defined combat space, that is, the defined combat distance.
  • the setting of the time of flight t or of the burning time takes place by selecting the length of the delay path within the delay elements 6, 16, 26. Such an adjustment is shown, for example, by DE 10 2013 013 705 A1, DE 10 2012 014 1450 A1 or DE 10 2012 014 149 B3, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
  • the maximum total range of the projectile 1, 11, 21 to the weapon is usually at about 3000m.
  • the soldiers are among others at a distance of about 5000m to the firing weapon.
  • the so-called practice or main fight distance is then often at 1200m to 1400m.
  • the nominal burning time to be selected in this constellation is approx. 1.2 s.
  • the remaining flight distance of the projectile 1, 11, 21 would then result from the difference of 3000m and the combat distance 1400m. It is understood that the data given here are not restrictive, but rather more form an approach for the free choice of presettable burning time and thus the flight time of the projectile 1, 11, 21.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un projectile (1, 11, 21), également sous forme de projectile d'exercice, qui d'une part présente une uniformité balistique jusqu'à une distance de combat prédéfinie par comparaison avec des munitions réelles ou d'exercice introduites et, d'autre part, dont la vitesse diminue cependant beaucoup plus vite lorsque cette distance est dépassée, et qui présente par conséquent une portée totale nettement limitée par rapport à la munition introduite. Le projectile (1, 11, 21) comporte un corps de projectile (3, 13, 23), une ogive de projectile (2, 12, 22) ainsi qu'au moins une traînée lumineuse (5, 15, 25) et/ou au moins un élément de décélération (6, 16, 26). L'invention vise à réduire la vitesse ainsi que la trajectoire. À cet effet, une charge (7, 17, 27) générant de la pression est intégrée dans le corps de projectile (3, 13, 23), laquelle charge est en liaison fonctionnelle avec l'au moins une traînée lumineuse (5, 15, 25) et/ou l'au moins un élément de décélération (6, 16, 26). Après la combustion de la traînée lumineuse (5, 15, 25), ou de la charge de décélération à l'intérieur de l'élément de décélération (6, 16, 26), l'amorçage de la charge (7, 17, 27) a lieu, laquelle agit alors sur le projectile (1, 11, 21) de sorte qu'une fois atteinte une durée de vol (t) réglée, la trajectoire du projectile (1, 11, 21) est influencée.
