Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tandem means of action, e.g. an ammunition, which contains a main means of action, e.g. a main charge, and a precursor charge.
  • a main means of action e.g. a main charge
  • a precursor charge e.g. a projectile formed from an occupancy or a beam / spike, rushes ahead of the main active agent towards the target when the ammunition is used.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose improvements in relation to a precursor charge.
  • the precursor charge is intended for use in, i.e. for a tandem active agent.
  • the invention is based on an intended tandem active agent that contains a main active agent.
  • "Intended” means that the precursor charge is intended for a specific or a specific type of tandem active agent / main active agent is systemically (i.e. in relation to the entire tandem active agent including precursor charge) and / or constructively coordinated and set up for use there; Eg for the resulting geometry requirements etc. is designed.
  • a relevant tandem active agent/main active agent is assumed to be known with regard to its geometry/properties etc.
  • the precursor charge extends along a longitudinal axis.
  • the charge is set up to be attached as intended in the direction of a flight direction of the tandem active means that coincides with the longitudinal axis in front of its main active means.
  • an entire tandem active means is created in which the charge—seen in the intended direction of flight of the tandem active means—is arranged in front of the main active means.
  • the charge is attached to the main active means/in the tandem active means, in particular attached to the main active means or a common carrier of the tandem active means.
  • the precursor charge includes a case and explosives placed within the case.
  • the shell forms the outer geometric shape of the precursor charge and/or acts as a housing for the other components of the precursor charge.
  • the precursor charge also contains a projectile device attached to the hull.
  • the projectile means is--in cooperation with the explosive--set up to emit an armor-piercing projectile when the explosive is deployed. This is done in such a way that the projectile is emitted along the longitudinal axis in the intended direction of flight of the main active agent and thus of the precursor charge, and then—after sending out—hurries ahead of the main active agent. "Having ahead” means that it moves at a higher speed than the main means of action and moves away from the main means of action at a differential speed in the direction of flight.
  • the precursor charge also contains a fragmentation agent. This is also attached to the cover.
  • the projectile means is - also in conjunction with the Explosive - Designed to form and emit a focused fragmentation sheaf as the explosive detonates.
  • the splinter sheaf is a sheaf that is formed from a large number of splinters and can also be referred to as a splinter cloud.
  • the sheaf like the projectile, also rushes ahead of the main agent after formation and emission in the direction of flight.
  • the focusing of the sheaf is achieved as follows: A radial speed of the fragments is at most one fifth of their axial speed ("radial / axial" is related to the longitudinal direction and thus the direction of flight).
  • the radial speed is at most one tenth, twentieth, fiftieth or hundredth of the axial speed.
  • the velocity distribution is achieved through design measures of the precursor charge, as explained below.
  • the sheaf forms a splinter cloud that precedes the main agent.
  • fragments/explosion elements with different speed characteristics can also occur during the conversion of the explosive, but these do not count as part of the sheaf.
  • the explosive is in particular one with a high detonation speed in order to achieve high projectile/fragment velocities.
  • the comparatively low axial velocity results in a strongly bundled sheaf/cloud of fragments, which essentially moves along the longitudinal axis or direction of flight in front of the main agent and hardly diverges.
  • the fragments are focused along the longitudinal axis/direction of flight.
  • the projectile means is in particular a projectile-forming means, in particular a projectile-forming shaped charge.
  • the differential speeds of projectile and sheaf to the main active means can differ, but in particular are the same - within the framework of the usual tolerances in this regard.
  • a "precursor" charge results from the fact that both the projectile and fragments "run ahead" of the main agent.
  • a corresponding armor-piercing projectile can be detonated at a distance of approx. 10-15 m ("stand-off") from a target to be attacked.
  • an active agent that works with a shaped charge spike instead of a projectile, for example, must be ignited at a maximum distance / stand-off of approx. 1m from the target. This alone results in an increased stand-off for the precursor charge proposed here.
  • the projectile can produce an initial effect, namely penetrating armor, for example pre-/reactive armor of an armored target.
  • the fragments create a further effect, namely the destruction / inactivation / rendering harmless of effectors, which the target opposes / sends towards the approaching tandem agent as an active protective measure.
  • the proposed precursor charge has a multi-effect.
  • the invention therefore assumes in particular that the effectors emitted by the target or its defense system/active protection system for protection against the tandem active means are ballistic defense bodies. According to plan, the effectors are used to ward off incoming weapons/ammunition by triggering them/rendering them harmless by impacting the effector at a safe distance from the target.
  • a multi-effect precursor charge with an increased stand-off for overcoming active protection systems.
  • the result is a precursor charge (also "precursor warhead") with an increased stand-off for tandem active systems (tandem active means), which enables active protection systems of heavily armored targets to be overcome by a focused fragmentation sheaf approaching effectors of active protection systems are destroyed before they reach the effective range of the main agent (main charge) of the tandem warhead (tandem agent).
  • tandem active means for tandem active systems
  • the invention thus allows active protection systems with fired effectors to be overcome.
  • the invention is based on the idea of creating a technical solution for overcoming active protection systems.
  • the invention is based on the finding that the previous options known from practice include the following: In order to circumvent active protection systems, it is possible to exploit blind spots in the protected area of the systems. It is also possible to increase the approach speed of your own / attacking effectors (active agents) in order to reduce the available reaction time of the active protection system.
  • the precursor charge is based on a pre-cursor with an increased standoff due to the projectile, in particular a projectile-forming charge.
  • a cloud of fragments/spray of fragments is released or generated simultaneously with the projectile, in particular from the shell and/or from the artificial fragments integrated for this purpose.
  • the fragments (sheaf / cloud) are generated in vectorial addition with the projectile speed (original speed of the entire tandem active agent) as a strongly focused fragmentation sheaf in the direction of the shot (longitudinal axis / direction of flight).
  • the sheaf together with the emitted / emerging projectile of the projectile means, rushes ahead of the non-detonated part (main means of action) of the tandem system of action / means.
  • the splinter sheaf acts as a protective shield, which destroys or implements opposing effectors of active protection systems before they can get into critical proximity to the main charge (main agent) of the tandem system.
  • the fragments are - especially in terms of their spatial distribution and/or mass and/or speed - adapted in such a way that they are not suitable for fighting the actual hardened / armored target, but with the highest possible probability of approaching effectors (from the target's active protection system to the approaching target). Tandem active means sent out) can meet and destroy.
  • the effect of the precursor charge with an increased stand-off is expanded to include a splinter effect (splinter agent) which, compared to the natural splinter effect, is specifically adapted in terms of effective range and splinter power so that it can be used to combat effectors from active protection systems.
  • splinter agent a splinter effect
  • tandem active agent tandem active agent
  • pre-curser charge
  • the invention is particularly suitable for a tandem active agent in the form of a direct fire guided ammunition with a tandem active system consisting of precursor charge/main active agent.
  • the splintering means contains a splinter insert which has the shape of a cylinder jacket with respect to the longitudinal axis and/or which is arranged in particular on an inner surface of the casing.
  • this reinforces in particular the outer shell or shell and forms radially outgoing splinters of a defined mass and geometry. It can be designed as a pre-fragmented body or loose individual fragments.
  • the fragments of the radial fragmentation insert are designed (mass/size) in such a way that they receive a relatively small radial velocity component from the detonation of the explosive and, in vectorial addition with the movement velocity (before the explosive is converted) of the entire tandem active agent, a (after the conversion of the explosive) maintain a strongly forward-directed flight direction (above-mentioned distribution of radial / axial speed of the fragments).
  • the splinter means contains a splinter body which has the shape of an annulus running transversely to the longitudinal axis. This results in an axial splinter body. This sits in particular with regard to the longitudinal axis on the front side of the precursor charge, which is intended to point in the direction of flight (seen in the direction of flight "in front") and serves to generate a fragmentation effect directed in the longitudinal axis of the charge / direction of flight. It can be designed as a pre-fragmented body or loose individual fragments.
  • the splinter body is designed in particular in the interface to the explosives so that the Acceleration during which detonation takes place along the longitudinal axis of the charge without much scattering (radial speed of the fragments much smaller than their axial speed, eg factor 1/100, 1/1000 or even smaller).
  • the projectile means contains a coating forming the projectile in the form of a disk running transversely to the longitudinal axis.
  • the occupancy is in particular a flat / dome-like / conical metal insert that goes off as a coherent projectile when the explosive detonates. The assignment thus forms the projectile for combating the target or its preliminary / reactive armor.
  • the disc is arranged concentrically inside the above-mentioned splinter body in the form of the circular ring.
  • Occupancy (disk) and splinter body (annular ring) thus form a continuous overall disk at the same axial position (longitudinal axis), which in particular closes off the precursor charge at the front, seen in the longitudinal direction or intended flight direction. This creates a particularly favorably packed precursor charge.
  • the projectile means and the fragmentation means are matched to one another in such a way that the projectile precedes the sheaf or cloud of fragments or moves with the foremost front in the direction of flight.
  • the projectile is therefore not impeded or disturbed in its flight towards the target by the eventual collision of fragments and effectors of the active protection system of the target, since it has already passed the corresponding collision area at this point in time.
  • the precursor charge is round, in particular circular, in particular rotationally symmetrical in cross-section with respect to the longitudinal axis. This applies in particular to their outer contour.
  • the main active means or tandem active means which are also generally designed to be round or circular. In particular, this applies to the circular shape, especially in the form of ammunition / tandem means of action for firing from circular weapon barrels.
  • the invention is also solved by a tandem action means.
  • This contains the precursor charge according to the invention and the main active agent explained in this context, the precursor charge or the precursor being attached as intended in a direction of flight of the tandem active agent that coincides with the longitudinal axis in front of its main active agent.
  • tandem active means and at least some of its possible embodiments and the respective advantages have already been explained in connection with the precursor charge according to the invention.
  • a transverse extent transverse to the longitudinal axis, in particular an outer diameter of the precursor charge corresponds to that, in particular the caliber, of the main active agent, in particular the entire tandem active agent or the corresponding ammunition. This creates a particularly uniform tandem active agent.
  • the main agent contains a main charge. As described above, this allows the main charge to bypass the target's active defenses with the help of the fragmentation sheaf; as well as using the projectile on the target's pre-/reactive armor past it.
  • the main agent contains a shaped charge. Such is particularly effective against certain heavily armored targets.
  • the projectile means contains a comparatively small shaped charge as at least part of the projectile means for forming the projectile; the main means of action is a larger, i.e. comparatively large, shaped charge for actually combating the target. If the active protective measure was repelled by the fragmentation sheaf, and the projectile was able to overcome a preliminary armor of the target, the main means of action can now be used on the unprotected or only protected by its main armor. This can then be overcome by the main means of action, so that the main means of action can act against the target.
  • the object of the invention is also achieved by a method according to patent claim 12 for combating a target with the aid of a tandem weapon.
  • the method assumes that the tandem agent contains a main agent and a precursor charge.
  • the precursor charge contains a projectile agent which, when initiated, emits an armor-piercing projectile.
  • the Precursor Charge also contains a shard agent which, when initiated, emits shards in the form of a focused sheaf.
  • the initiation is in particular the above-mentioned implementation of an explosive in the precursor charge.
  • their radial speed is at most one-fifth of their axial speed; a corresponding velocity is thus imparted to the splinters in the sheaf.
  • the precursor charge is in particular the precursor charge according to the invention.
  • the tandem active agent is in particular the tandem active agent according to the invention.
  • the tandem gun is fired toward the target.
  • the precursor charge is initiated, in particular the explosives contained therein are detonated.
  • the projectile from the projectile means and the fragments as the sheaf from the fragmentation means are each sent out ahead of the main active means in the direction of flight towards the target.
  • the point in time is in particular the point at which the tandem active means reaches a specific distance from the target.
  • a distance can be detected particularly easily and precisely and is therefore particularly suitable as a triggering criterion for the initiation described above.
  • the point in time selected is that at which an active defense system of the target sending out a defense body towards the ammunition detects the ammunition or at least sends out a defense body.
  • the point in time thus corresponds in particular locally to when the tandem active means reaches/passes a detection point of the active defense system. In this way, a particularly effective defense against the effectors sent out by the target is achieved.
  • the point in time is chosen such that the sheaf strikes defense bodies at such a distance from the main means of action that is greater than an effective range of the defense bodies.
  • the main agent is outside the effective range of the defense body and cannot be impaired or destroyed by it.
  • the effective range also includes effects that result from the combating / destruction of the defense body by the splinters.
  • the defense bodies are fought at a safe distance from the main agent. The defense bodies and their behavior when combated by the splinters are assumed to be known.
  • the point in time is selected as that at which the tandem active means is between 5 and 25 meters, in particular 10 and 15 meters, in particular 12.5 m, in front of the target. Such distances have proven to be particularly advantageous in practice.
  • details of the design of the precursor charge and/or the main agent or tandem agent depend heavily on the target that is potentially to be attacked or its expected properties. In particular, these are properties of its armor (main / preliminary / reactive armor) and the active protection system.
  • the design mentioned concerns among other things, the selection of materials, dimensions, geometries of the precursor charge, number, size and nature of fragments, projectile used, explosives, design of the shell, etc. Corresponding values are therefore dependent on the planned use of the charge / the tandem agent and can or must be individually adjusted and, for example, through experiments, empirical Considerations, assessments, etc. can be found within the framework of customary drafts.
  • the invention is based on the following findings, observations and considerations and also has the following embodiments.
  • the embodiments are sometimes also referred to as “the invention” for the sake of simplicity.
  • the embodiments can also contain parts or combinations of the above-mentioned embodiments or correspond to them and/or optionally also include embodiments that have not been mentioned before.
  • the present invention can be summarized as follows:
  • the invention includes in particular the expansion of an armor-piercing explosive charge (tandem agent) with increased stand-off (achieved by the projectile-forming charge as a projectile agent) by an additional effect in the form of a directed and focused fragmentation sheaf, which is not the combating the actual armored target, but is designed in terms of fragment density, fragment mass and fragment speed to eliminate effectors of active protection systems fired from the target.
  • an explosive charge explosive and fragmentation agent
  • a tandem agent consisting of a precursor (charge) and a main charge (main agent)
  • charge precursor
  • main agent main agent
  • reactive armor of the target at the same time as the precursor charge is initiated ( Target projectile), as well as additionally existing active protection systems whose effectors are fired in the direction of the approaching tandem active agent.
  • the function and effect of the invention can be summarized as follows: If the precursor is initiated at an increased distance from the target, it releases an armor-piercing projectile and a fragmentation sheaf, which precede the part of the tandem active agent that has not yet been initiated.
  • the projectile-forming charge has the task of breaking through existing reactive armor, while the fragmentation sheaf acts as a kind of protective screen for the slower-flying main charge/agent and all effectors that are on the trajectory of the main agent located, destroyed. This ensures that the main weapon can work against an unprotected target's main armor.
