Definitions
- the invention relates to a projectile (or a warhead) that is designed or works according to the PELE principle (Penetrator with Increased Lateral Effect).
- the DE 197 00 349 C2 discloses such a projectile or such a warhead for combating armored targets, with a rod-shaped expansion medium made of a material of low compressibility that is largely ineffective in terms of end-ballistics; and an outer body made of a final ballistically significantly more effective penetration material, which radially envelops the expansion medium; wherein the materials of the expansion medium and the outer body have a significant difference in density, the expansion medium being made entirely or partially of a light metal or its alloy, a fiber-reinforced plastic, a thermoset or thermoplastic, an elastomeric material or a mixture of these materials.
- the DE 10 2011 011 478 A1 which the PELE ammunition or the corresponding construction principle DE 197 00 349 C2 cited, discloses a dismantling bullet that works according to the PELE principle, which is intended to reduce the danger area around a target, allow use for training purposes and enable simple production.
- a dismantling bullet with a ballistic body made of a highly effective end-ballistic penetration material is used for this purpose. At least two elongated expansion media are arranged in the ballistic body.
- Each expansion medium consists of a material of low compressibility that is largely ineffective at end-ballistics, and the materials of the ballistic body and the expansion media have a clear difference in density , wherein the ballistic body is formed in one piece, the ballistic body has recesses and each recess completely accommodates an elongated expansion medium.
- the object of the present invention is to propose improvements in relation to a projectile designed or operating according to the PELE principle.
- the bullet is designed or works according to the Pele principle (penetrator with increased lateral effect).
- the projectile can also be designed in the form of a warhead, which for the sake of simplicity is also referred to here as a “projectile” in this sense.
- the bullet extends along a longitudinal axis. This longitudinal axis corresponds to the intended direction of flight of the projectile when it is used/flighted/fired from ammunition containing the projectile.
- the bullet contains a core extending along the longitudinal axis. At least one (or more or all) sections of the core is designed as a passive core.
- the passive core consists of an incompressible passive core material. "Incompressible” is to be understood here within the context of the requirements of the implementation of the PELE principle, as explained below. “Passive” is to be understood here in the sense that the material is neither an explosive nor a reactive material, as explained below. In particular, it is a material that exhibits an exclusively ballistic effect upon intended impact on a target, but does not exhibit any explosion or other reaction within the material or with other materials, as described below for the reactive material.
- “Target” is the object that is being shot at and is to be attacked. For the purposes of the present explanations, it is assumed that the target is actually hit by the bullet as intended.
- the bullet contains a casing extending along the longitudinal axis.
- the shell surrounds the core radially on the outside.
- “Surrounds radially” is to be understood here in the sense that the shell - in the radial direction relative to the longitudinal axis - is arranged radially outside the core, i.e. surrounds it in particular in a ring or jacket shape.
- a part of the core can also be designed without a radially outer shell and / or a part of the shell cannot surround a core radially inward.
- At least one (or several or all) sections of the shell are designed as a passive shell.
- the passive shell consists of a passive shell material. “Passive” is to be understood in the same way as above in relation to the core material.
- the shell material is in particular steel.
- the core material has a - in particular significantly (factor 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 or more) lower density and penetration ability and final ballistic effectiveness than the covering material.
- the differences must be allowed to the extent that the result in the projectile results in the PELE principle, therefore the following applies: "penetration ability” is to be understood here as meaning that when the same body made of the two materials hits a target, the one made of shell material Aim better, further, faster than the other body penetrated from nuclear material.
- the “final ballistic effectiveness” is to be understood in the corresponding sense, only in relation to the ballistic effect of the bodies on the target instead of the penetration itself.
- the projectile contains at least one reactive element made of reactive material.
- the reactive material is not an explosive. The following applies only when the projectile hits a target as intended or when a comparable event occurs: Only under the influence of a relevant impact energy (generated by the impact/penetration of the projectile on the target or a comparable event) on the reactive material and/or by reaction of the reactive material with a component of an impact environment (environment of the material when impacting the target, possibly only under the boundary conditions of an actual impact / impact energy) of the reactive material, this reacts with a release of heat and / or a volume expansion.
- a relevant impact energy generated by the impact/penetration of the projectile on the target or a comparable event
- a component of an impact environment environment of the material when impacting the target, possibly only under the boundary conditions of an actual impact / impact energy
- the reactive material does not react and therefore remains "passive" in this sense. Only in the case mentioned above (impact energy, contact with the impact environment, comparable events/energies/environments) does the reactive material release its chemically stored energy, otherwise it is inert.
- reactive material refers in particular to substances that do not fall within the scope of application of Section 1 of the Act on Explosive Substances (Explosives Act - SprengG) of the Federal Republic of Germany, in particular with regard to their friction/impact resistance up to 75, in particular 80, 90 or 100 joules are inert.
- Reactive material is present in particular as a non-detonative (reaction speeds greater than the speed of sound, in particular greater than 1 km/s in the material) or non-deflagrating (smaller reaction speeds, below the speed of sound in the material, in particular in the range of 1, 10, 100 m/s) substance and only reacts with a comparatively high energy supply (impact, see above), such as correspondingly strong acceleration in air (heating due to air friction) or strong deformation, as with an impact.
- the reactive material used is reactive only with the components of the environment (air, oxygen, water, fuel, materials of the target, ).
- the bullet does not contain a detonator and is therefore comparable to a conventional PELE bullet.
- the present "core” or its material with the “expansion medium” / "end-ballistically largely ineffective material of low compressibility” is the DE 197 00 349 C2 comparable, the "shell” or its material with its “outer body” / “end-ballistically significantly more effective penetration material”, which have the relevant density differences.
- the basic PELE principle is in the DE 197 00 349 C2 , especially based on the Figures 1 -6 and the associated description are explained.
- the bullet can be supplemented with additional features as part of the PELE principle, e.g. B.
- the incompressibility of the core leads to its lateral expansion.
- the reason for this is that - in contrast to the shell - it hardly penetrates the target material ballistically (hardly any penetration).
- the shell is laterally expanded or divided by this expansion.
- a significant impact energy is introduced into the bullet and thus into the reactive material and the reactive material is distributed/shredded, etc.
- a difference in density between the shell material and the core material creates a pressure in the core when the bullet hits a target, which accelerates the components of the bullet surrounding the core radially outwards.
- the shell / an intermediate element (see below) cannot withstand the resulting tangential stresses and fails.
- the casing / the intermediate element tears open or is shredded / fragmented / ...
- the core material is in particular light metal or its alloy, a fiber-reinforced plastic, a thermoset or thermoplastic, an elastomeric material or a mixture of these materials.
- the reaction of the reactive material leads to an additional heat input (in addition to the ballistic effects of a classic PELE bullet, including expansion / lateral effect) and / or a fire / pressure effect on the target.
- At least one of the reactive elements is a reactive core, which forms at least a portion of the core.
- Several core sections can therefore also be formed by reactive elements.
- one or more parts of the (classic, passive: classic Pele principle) core is replaced by reactive material / reactive elements or is designed as such.
- the same boundary conditions apply to such reactive material as to the passive core material (incompressibility, lower density, penetration ability, final ballistic effectiveness as a passive cladding material) in order to continue to implement the PELE principle.
- the reactive cores already develop the above-mentioned heat input and/or the fire/pressure effect in the target.
- the filling/core portion made of reactive material must not be compressible and must have a lower density/penetration ability than the bullet casing (covering material).
- the advantage is that, in contrast to the classic PELE bullet, the filling (reactive core) itself contributes to the effect on the target by releasing chemical energy.
- the reactive cores and the passive core together form the entire core.
- the entire core is a complete passive core or a complete reactive core. In this way, particularly varied floors can be created.
- At least one of the reactive elements is a reactive shell, which forms at least a portion of the shell.
- Several shell sections can therefore also be formed by reactive elements.
- one or more parts of the (classic, passive: classic Pele principle) shell is replaced by reactive material/reactive elements or is designed as such.
- the same boundary conditions apply to such reactive material as to the passive shell material (higher density, penetration ability, final ballistic effectiveness as passive core material) in order to continue to implement the PELE principle.
- the shell already develops the above-mentioned heat input and/or the fire/pressure effect on the target.
- the reactive shells and the passive shell together form the entire shell.
- the entire envelope is a full passive envelope or a full reactive envelope. In this way, particularly varied floors can be created.
- At least one (or more) splitter section of the casing is designed in the form of structural splitters.
- one of the splinter sections has a predetermined breaking means, which divides the section into splinters (which are only to be formed upon impact with the target).
- This embodiment probably applies to casing sections in the form of passive casings and alternatively or additionally - if one is available - for sections in the form of reactive casings.
- passive and/or reactive (construction) fragments are created.
- the reactive (construction) fragments (containing or consisting of reactive material) then also ensure the above-mentioned additional heat input and / or the fire / pressure effect on the target.
- the projectile contains at least one intermediate element located radially between the core and the casing.
- the intermediate element is designed in particular as a sleeve/sleeve that fits seamlessly between the core and the shell so as not to adversely affect the PELE principle.
- the intermediate element can in particular be designed as an additional active means, for example as a fragment coating, which further increases the effectiveness of the projectile at the target.
- At least one (or more) of the reactive elements is an intermediate reactive element, which forms at least one or more sections of the intermediate element. This means that the intermediate element or its reactive portion/section can also develop the above-mentioned additional heat input and/or the fire/pressure effect in the target.
- the reactive material is used as a fragment coating on the bullet (casing or intermediate element), the requirements regarding density and compressibility (Pele principle / to the core) do not apply.
- the effect on the target can be optimized by adjusting fragment sizes or predetermined breaking points (points) in the (reactive) projectile casing.
- the effectiveness of the bullet could also be increased by a mixture of conventional (passive material) and reactive fragments (reactive material).
- the density of the splinter material is another design parameter.
- the reactive material is an Auer metal and/or zirconium and/or a pressed mixture of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, trade name "Teflon”) and metal or a pressed or sintered or additively manufactured mixture of metals and/or metal compounds.
- PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
- the additional energy release after impact depends on the surrounding atmosphere (oxygen); the intermetallic reaction (e.g. in nickel-aluminum) is independent of fragmentation. The release of the additional chemical energy during combustion with oxygen usually occurs faster and more completely the finer the reactive material is fragmented after impact. This opens up a variety of options for achieving a specific additional heat input and/or a specific fire/pressure effect in the target.
- the object of the invention is also achieved by an ammunition according to claim 10.
- the ammunition contains the projectile according to the invention and a charge for driving the projectile.
- the invention is based on the following findings, observations and considerations and also has the following embodiments.
- the embodiments are sometimes also called “the invention” for simplicity.
- the embodiments can also contain parts or combinations of the above-mentioned embodiments or correspond to them and/or possibly also include previously unmentioned embodiments.
- reactive material i.e. an ammunition/projectile based on the PELE principle with reactive material, among other things as filler material.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that PELE ammunition/projectiles are primarily used to combat aerial targets.
- An additional fire/pressure effect on the target would increase its probability of failure (i.e. the success of the fight), e.g. B. by ignition of the tank or fuel lines, as well as structural damage due to the build-up of pressure.
- the invention is suitable, for example, for implementation in a 35mm x 228, DM31 or 27mm x 145 PELE ammunition.
- the invention is based on the following observations and ideas:
- the use of reactive material is proposed as a replacement for various, currently inert components (or parts/sections thereof) in a classic PELE bullet made with purely passive or ballistic materials.
- the reactive material brings additional chemically stored energy to the target.
- a classic, purely passive PELE ammunition/projectile has no explosives (neither explosives nor pyrotechnics) and is therefore very safe to handle. By introducing reactive material that is not an explosive, an additional fire/pressure effect can be achieved without the bullet losing any handling safety.
- the invention is based on the basic idea of introducing reactive material as a component (replacement for previous material) in classic PELE ammunition, which only inert material is used, which does not produce any effects of its own apart from the kinetic effect.
- the filling / covering / shell made of reactive material is fragmented as a result of the strong deformation during target impact / penetration, the fragments react e.g. B. pyrophoric (strong reaction caused by self-ignition in air/moisture, such as burning with associated fire and pressure effects) or are z. B. caused to react by the impact shock.
- the splinters contained in the casing/projectile can be replaced/supplemented by reactive material, which is implemented upon impact within the target. A combination of these variants is also possible.
- FIG. 1 shows an ammunition 2 in the form of a PELE ammunition.
- This contains a bullet 4 in the form of a PELE bullet.
- the ammunition 2 also contains - here only indicated schematically by dashed lines - a charge 6 for driving the projectile 4 and a sleeve 12 in which the projectile 4 is held together with the charge 6 until it is fired.
- the projectile 4 is actually shown after being fired from the ammunition 2, ie after leaving the case 12.
- the projectile 4 is in flight along a direction of flight 8 (indicated by an arrow) in the direction of a target 10 to be combated.
- the target 10 is only symbolically represented as an impact area.
- Figure 1 already shows the impact of bullet 4 in target 10, with a distance/gap between bullet 4 and target 10 being shown for clarity.
- the projectile 4 has a ballistic hood 14, which aerodynamically promotes/enables the flight of the projectile 4, and has now been destroyed by impact on the target 10, which is why it is only indicated by dashed lines.
- the projectile 4 is created according to the PELE principle or, when used, works according to it and extends along a longitudinal axis 16, here a central axis, which coincides with the flight direction 8.
- the projectile 4 contains a core 18, which extends along the longitudinal axis 16 and is designed here in the form of a so-called ground screw, rotationally symmetrical in the form of two straight circular cylinders of different diameters lined up lengthwise.
- a section 20a of the core 18, shown hatched here, is designed as a passive core 22.
- the passive core 22 consists of an incompressible passive core material, here a fiber-reinforced plastic.
- the projectile 4 also contains a casing 24, which also extends along the longitudinal axis 16 and is designed here in the form of a straight circular cylindrical jacket. Relative to the longitudinal axis 16, the shell 24 surrounds the core 18 radially on the outside. Several sections 26a of the shell 24, also shown hatched here, are designed as a passive shell 28 made of a passive shell material, here steel.
- the core material therefore has a lower density and penetration ability and final ballistic effectiveness in the target 10 than the shell material.
- the projectile contains several reactive elements 30 made of a reactive material, here Auermetall.
- the reactive material is therefore not an explosive. Only when the projectile 4 hits the target 10 as intended does the reactive material experience an impact energy 36, indicated here by four arrows compressing a dashed circle; In addition, as will be explained below, it reacts with components 38 of the impact environment 50, i.e. the environment of the projectile 4 when it impacts the target 10. The reactive material reacts to this with a release of heat 32 and a volume expansion 34, indicated by a dashed line here.
- one of the reactive elements 30 is a reactive core 40, which here forms a section 20b of the core 18.
- Reactive core 40 and passive core 22 together form the entire core 18.
- the projectile 4 works according to the PELE principle: when it hits the target 10, the ballistically effective shell 24 gradually penetrates the target 10; the incompressible and ballistically comparatively ineffective core 18, on the other hand, not or hardly at all.
- the core 18 is therefore - indicated by an arrow 48 - compressed in the direction of the longitudinal axis 16 and thereby reacts with a lateral or transverse expansion transversely to the Longitudinal axis 16 (further arrows 48).
- the shell 24 is expanded radially and possibly also divided; this is the increased lateral effect that gives it its name.
- the reactive core 40 experiences the impact energy 36 and reacts to it with a release of heat 32, which is additionally introduced into the target 10 and its impact environment 50 and can act there against the target 10.
- Further reactive elements 30 are each designed as a reactive shell 42 or as corresponding shell parts that form a respective section 26b of the shell 24.
- the reactive shells 42 (sections 26b) and the passive shells 28 (sections 26a) together form the entire shell 24.
- An axial splitter section 44 of the casing 24 is in a first embodiment (here below in Fig. 1 shown as an example for only one half of the floor 4) in the form of construction fragments 46, of which in Figure 1 Five pieces are shown as examples.
- Three of the construction splitters 46 are reactive elements 30 or reactive covers 42, i.e. made of reactive material.
- Two of the structural splitters 46 are sections 26a of the shell 24 made of passive shell material.
- the structural fragments 46 are blasted off in the radial direction to the longitudinal axis 16.
- the construction fragments 46 as parts of the passive shell 28 act in a conventional manner as purely ballistic fragments.
- Those in the form of the reactive casings 42 react with components 38 of the impact environment 50 (surroundings of the projectile 4 at the moment of impact on the target 10).
- the reactive material reacts to this with a volume expansion 34. This in turn leads to an increased effect of the projectile 4 on the target 10 in contrast to a purely passive or classic PELE projectile 4 or its passive, purely ballistic fragments.
- the splitter section 44 is designed with predetermined breaking means 52, here predetermined breaking points in the form of notches, four of which are shown. Only through the expansion of the casing 24 (PELE principle) does the splinter section 44 break into individual splinters 47, in Figure 1 indicated by dashed lines. Here too, both splinters47 are created Reactive material as well as fragments made of passive material. The effects are as described above for the construction splitters 46.
- the projectile 4 also contains an intermediate element 54 inserted radially between the shell 24 and the core 18.
- This is designed here in the form of an occupancy of further structural fragments 46.
- the construction fragments 46 are, on the one hand, shaped bodies (e.g. cylinders, cubes, balls) made of reactive material (symbolized by crosses in the figure) and, on the other hand, purely ballistic balls made of tungsten, i.e. passive material, hatched again in the figure.
- the balls are foamed or held in a foam of the intermediate element 54, which is not explained in more detail.
- the balls made of reactive material thus represent reactive elements 30, which are designed here as reactive intermediate elements 56 and thus each form a section 57 of the intermediate element 54.
- the construction fragments 54 are accelerated in the radial direction to the longitudinal axis 16 due to the PELE principle; Those made of passive material, here tungsten, act as purely classic ballistic construction fragments.
- the construction fragments 46 made of reactive material react with a component 38 of the impact environment 50. In the present case, the components 38 are air or its oxygen and/or water or atmospheric moisture. The reactive material reacts to this by releasing heat 32.
- the heat 32 represents an additional effect compared to a classic, purely passive PELE projectile on the target 10.
- the floor 4 can be created as follows by redesigning a comparable classic PELE floor (not shown): The entire core 18, which is called the "ground screw" in the classic floor and consists entirely of passive material, is replaced by a shortened floor screw in the form of the passive core 22 replaced in combination with the reactive core 40 in the form of a cylinder made of reactive material.
- the intermediate element 54 in the classic bullet a WSM spherical body (tungsten heavy metal), is replaced by the intermediate element 54 shown, in which parts of the tungsten balls are replaced by construction fragments 46 in the form of shaped bodies made of reactive material. Furthermore, parts of the classic floor Shell 24, which consists entirely of passive material, is replaced by reactive elements 30, as described above.
