According to a particular embodiment, the detection system may be of the electromagnetic type and the fuse device can be remotely controlled. Application to the field of anti-tank combat.

Description

ENGIN EXPLOSIF ANTICHAR POUR COMBAT RAPPROCHE
L'invention concerne un engin explosif destiné à agresser les véhicules blindés au moyen d'une charge formée.ANTICHAR EXPLOSIVE DEVICE FOR CLOSE COMBAT
The invention relates to an explosive device intended to attack armored vehicles by means of a shaped charge.

L'évolution conjointe de l'orgAnisation des véhicules de caribat blindés et de l'environnement du combat antichar conduit à rechercher de nouveaux types d'armement. The joint development of the organization of armored caribat vehicles and the environment of anti-tank combat leads to the search for new types of armament.

Les moyens antichars actuels dont dispose le fantassin sont du type projectile à tir tendu (roquette, grenade å. fusil etc. .). Ces dispositifs sont peu adaptés au combat urbain très rapproché en raison notamment de leur distance d'armement élevée et de l'impossibilité de tirer sans se mettre à découvert, et insuffisamment efficace vis a vis des protections additionnelles utilisées actuellement pour les véhicules blindés (blindages composites, actifs etc....}.  The current anti-tank means available to the infantryman are of the projectile type of close-range (rocket, grenade å. Rifle, etc.). These devices are not very suitable for very close urban combat, in particular because of their high arming distance and the impossibility of firing without being exposed, and insufficiently effective with regard to the additional protections currently used for armored vehicles (armor composites, assets etc ....}.

La présente invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif antichar adapté au ooSbat rapproché, permettant un lancement simplifié (absence de visée), par exemple manuel, capable de s'affranchir des contraintes liées à l'environnement, et d'attaquer le véhicule sur toutes ses faces, y compris par le toit et le plancher qui sont généralement les parties les moins protégés.  The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks by proposing an anti-tank device suitable for close-up ooSbat, allowing a simplified launch (absence of aim), for example manual, capable of overcoming constraints linked to the environment, and of attacking the vehicle on all sides, including the roof and floor, which are generally the least protected parts.

La charge explosive selon l'invention est caractérisée par le fait qu'elle possède une surface extérieure de forme sensiblement sphérique comportant au moins trois revêtements de charge formée. The explosive charge according to the invention is characterized in that it has an outer surface of substantially spherical shape comprising at least three coatings of formed charge.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques: - Les revêtements de charge formée sont répartis uniformément sur sa surface extérieure.According to other characteristics: - The coatings of formed charge are distributed uniformly over its outer surface.

- Elle comporte un système de détection autonane du type électromagnéti- que - Elle comporte un dispositif d'amorcage commandé à distance.- It includes an autonane detection system of the electromagnetic type - It includes a remote-controlled ignition device.

Un mode de réalisation particulier sera maintenant décrit a' titre d'exemple non limitatif en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel:
- La figure 1 représente une vue extérieure du dispositif selon
l'invention.A particular embodiment will now be described by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the appended drawing in which:
- Figure 1 shows an external view of the device according
the invention.

- La figure 2 représente une coupe méridienne du dispositif.  - Figure 2 shows a meridian section of the device.

La charge représentée aux figures 1 et 2 comporte une enveloppe mince 1 de forme sphérique renfermant une charge explosive 2 dont la surface extérieure présente des facettes supportant chacune un revêtement 3 de charge formée pouvant par exemple avoir avec une forme conique, hémisphérique, ellipsoidale, parabolique, ou de calotte sphérique. The charge represented in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises a thin envelope 1 of spherical shape containing an explosive charge 2, the external surface of which has facets each supporting a coating 3 of formed charge which can for example have a conical, hemispherical, ellipsoidal, parabolic shape. , or spherical cap.

Le dispositif d'amorçage comprend un système de détection 4, par exemple du type électromagnétique, activant un dispositif d'amorçage et de sécurité 5 relié à un relais de détonation 6 par un cordeau détonant 7, ledit relais étant disposé au centre de la charge et ayant une action omnidirectionnelle. The priming device comprises a detection system 4, for example of the electromagnetic type, activating a priming and safety device 5 connected to a detonation relay 6 by a detonating cord 7, said relay being disposed in the center of the load and having an omnidirectional action.

L'ensemble constitué par le système de détection 4 et le dispositif d'amorçage et de sécurité peut être fixé sur la charge lors de son assemblage, ou peut-etre choisi et monté au moment du tir en fonction du de de lancement,
Ce type de charge explosive peut être lancé soit manuellement (telle une grenade à main) soit à l'aide d'un dispositif mécanique (catapulte) ou pyrotechnique (bombarde).The assembly constituted by the detection system 4 and the priming and safety device can be fixed on the load during its assembly, or can be chosen and mounted at the time of the firing depending on the launching,
This type of explosive charge can be launched either manually (such as a hand grenade) or using a mechanical device (catapult) or pyrotechnic device (bombard).

Parmi les systèmes envisageables on peut noter: - des "boules explosives" lancées par bombarde ou à la main et à fonc tionnement totalement autonome. Dans ce cas, chaque boule explosive assure les fonctions de détection, d'armement , de mise à feu et de destruction. Among the possible systems one can note: - "explosive balls" launched by bombard or by hand and completely autonomous. In this case, each explosive ball performs the functions of detection, arming, firing and destruction.

- des "boules explosives" reliées au poste de tir, par exemple téléccm mande ou filo-commandée. Dans cette configuration, le signal d'armement, le signal de mise à feu, l'énergie de mise à feu sont éventuellement fournies å pair du poste de tir. - "explosive balls" connected to the shooting station, for example remote control or wire-controlled. In this configuration, the arming signal, the firing signal, the firing energy are optionally supplied in pairs from the firing station.
