Abstract
Disclosed is a smoke projectile comprising a pyrotechnic active charge which emits in the infrared range and is impenetrable in the visible range. The aim of the invention is to create a smoke projectile which has a simple design while resulting in the line of sight quickly fading in the infrared and visible radiation range on impact at a wide solid angle. The active charge (2) forms a hollow cylinder-shaped stack which comprises several layers (5) of hollow cylinder segments (6) and is disposed within a burnable outer coating (4).
Description
- The invention concerns a fog projectile having an active charge comprising a pyrotechnic active material for producing an aerosol which emits in the infrared and which is impenetrable in the visual.
- Armoured and unarmoured vehicles are protected by means of aerosol curtains from discovery, detection and target tracking and thus from the threat of missiles.
- DE 199 14 097 A1 describes a suitable pyrotechnic active material for producing an aerosol which is strongly emissive in the infrared and impenetrable in the visible. That active material develops a protective camouflage fog or mist which, besides impenetrability in the visible range, also permits long-duration cover in the infrared range. As its main constituents that active material contains red phosphorus, an alkali metal nitrate or a mixture of alkali metal nitrates while as secondary constituents it contains at least one transition metal or a metallic compound or alloy thereof, at least one metalloid and a binder.
- As the threatening missiles approach at flight speeds of 200 to 600 m/s, a fog screening effect must take place very rapidly, after they have been identified. Known projectiles however deploy their action only after a flight time and time delay of for example 2 s. In that time the vehicle is unprotected.
- DE 29 08 217 C2 describes a unit charge for fog concealment of vehicles, having a casing filled with fog bodies. The fog bodies are in the form of cylindrical flat discs with an open central hole, which are disposed one upon the other. The fog bodies are ejected without an enclosure from the casing. The arrangement does not provide for fading out of the line of sight in the infrared range.
- The object of the invention is to provide a fog projectile of a simple structure, which is so designed that rapid fading of the line of sight in the infrared radiation range and in the visual radiation range occurs upon discharge in a spatial angle.
- According to the invention the foregoing object is attained by the features of
claim 1. - The active charge stack consisting of the hollow-cylinder segments is discharged or expelled, held by an enclosure or sheathing, from a projector barrel, whereby aerodynamic stability is guaranteed in the initial phase of the flight. That ensures that the stack does not already deploy immediately at the vehicle. It is only after some metres of flight, for example 5 m to 10 m, that the fired hollow-cylinder segments break the enclosure or sheathing open. Due to the resulting absence of aerodynamic cladding the flow of air acting thereon gets into the stack of the hollow-cylinder segments. As a result the segments are immediately driven apart, which results in the burning hollow-cylinder segments fanning out over a large area, in a wide spatial angle. That provides an aerosol fog or mist distribution very quickly, for example within 0.25 s, which conceals the vehicle both in relation to missiles approaching horizontally and also in gliding flight, in the infrared radiation range and in the visual radiation range. In the vehicle therefore there is a period of time which is long in comparison with the state of the art to perform travel manoeuvres to evade the moment of impact, as calculated in the vehicle, of the approaching missile.
- Advantageous configurations are set forth in the appendant claims and the description hereinafter. In the drawing:
-
FIG. 1 shows a fog projectile with a plurality of layers of hollow-cylinder segments in an enclosure or sheathing, -
FIG. 2 a is a plan view of a layer of four hollow-cylinder segments, -
FIG. 2 b shows a side view in the direction of the arrows IIb-IIb inFIG. 2 a, -
FIG. 3 a shows a plan view of a single hollow-cylinder segment, -
FIG. 3 b shows a perspective view of a single hollow-cylinder segment, -
FIG. 4 shows an apertured disc of the enclosure or sheathing, -
FIG. 5 shows a foil of the enclosure or sheathing, unwound, -
FIG. 6 shows the fog projectile in a discharge device, -
FIG. 7 shows an aerosol fog produced by the fog projectile, and -
FIG. 8 shows a time diagram of the development of the effect of the aerosol fog. - A
fog projectile 1 comprises a hollow-cylindricalactive charge 2, afiring charge 3 and an enclosure or sheathing 4 (seeFIG. 1 ). Theactive charge 2 is a stack comprising a plurality oflayers 5 of hollow-cylinder segments 6. Eachlayer 5 is composed of a plurality of hollow-cylinder segments 6. There is a hollow space 7 in the interior of the active charge stack. - As shown in
FIGS. 2 a and 2 b eachlayer 5 is formed by four hollow-cylinder segments 6, wherein the segment angle a is 90° and the individual hollow-cylinder segments 6 bear against each other. The segment angle a can also be smaller than 90°, in which case then there are correspondingly more hollow-cylinder segments 6 in a layer. - The diameter d of the hollow space 7 is ≦⅙ D, wherein D is the outside diameter of the active charge stack (see
FIG. 1 andFIGS. 2 a and 2 b). - The
active charge stack 2 is of a height H which is for example ≧20 h, wherein h is the height of a hollow-cylinder segment (seeFIGS. 1, 2 b and 3 b). - The height h is preferably ≧ 1/15 D.
- The hollow-
cylinder segments 6 are compressed from a pyrotechnic active material which produces an aerosol which is emitting and damping in the infrared radiation range and which is impenetrable in the visual. An active material of that kind is described in DE 199 14 097 A1. As main constituents it has red phosphorus, an alkali metal nitrate or a mixture of alkali metal nitrates and as secondary constituents it has at least one transition metal, or a metal-rich compound or alloy thereof and at least one metalloid and a binder. - The
firing charge 3 which serves to fire the hollow-cylinder segments 6 by way of the hollow space 7 and which can serve as a discharge charge is a pyrotechnic firing composition which contains: -
- 50 to 80% by mass of black powder,
- 0 to 200% of an organic binder,
- 0 to 200% of a metal powder from the group of the metals magnesium, aluminium, boron, zirconium and titanium, and
- 0 to 20% of a burning moderator based on a transition metal compound such as CuO, K[Fe2(CN)6],(C5H5)2Fe).
- The enclosure or
sheathing 4 has acombustible foil 8 which for example comprises a paper saturated with paraffin. Thefoil 8 initially holds together theactive charge stack 2 consisting of the hollow-cylinder segments 6. Thefoil 8 encloses theactive charge stack 2 at the top side and at its periphery U, corresponding to the diameter D, over the entire height H.FIG. 5 shows thefoil 8 in the unwound condition. Thefoil 8 is connected to a disc 9 which bears against the underside of theactive charge 2. - The disc 9 comprises a pressed fibre material and has a
central opening 10. The diameter d1 of theopening 10 is ≧the diameter d (seeFIG. 1 andFIG. 4 ). - The described fog projectile can be inserted into a metallic projector barrel 11 (see
FIG. 6 ).FIG. 6 shows the arrangement in the pulled-apart condition. Arranged at thebottom 12 of the barrel 11 is an electrical firing element 13 whoseelectrical contacts 14 can be closed by way of a suitable switching device in the vehicle. The firing element 13 upon initiation fires thefiring charge 3 which can act at the same time as the ejection charge. - When firing takes place the hollow-
cylinder segments 6 are fired and thefog projectile 1 is ejected. In the region of between about 5 and 10 m after the beginning of gas development of ejection, the hollow-cylinder segments 6 remain held together by thefoil 8. After thefoil 8 burns away, about 5 to 10 m after leaving the vehicle-mounted barrel 11, the active charge stack 2 fans out, with the hollow-cylinder segments 6 separating, and the individual hollow-cylinder segments 6, after a distance S at a spacing from the vehicle F to be protected, develop a fog curtain N which screens the vehicle F both in relation to a missile K1 which is threatening in a condition of gliding flight and a missile K2 which is attacking in horizontal flight (seeFIG. 7 ). - Development of the protective fog N is effected for example within 0.25 s after the vehicle F has identified and evaluated the threat posed by the missiles K1 and K2.
-
FIG. 8 shows a comparison of known operative times and the operative time which can be achieved by the projectile according to the invention. At the time t0 the vehicle F identifies the threat posed by an approaching missile and thus triggers discharge of the camouflage fog device, which then takes place at the moment to. The time t4 is the time at which, according to the calculation of the vehicle F, the threatening projectile impacts. - In accordance with the state of the art fog generation W which counteracts the missile threat is achieved in accordance with the line a at the moment t3 whereas the active level achieved with the described device is already achieved in accordance with the line b at the time t2. It will be seen in this respect that the period of time between t3 and t4 is substantially shorter than the period of the time between t2 and t4. This means that, between t2 and t4, the vehicle under threat has available a substantially longer period of time for travel manoeuvres to evade the threat, than in the state of the art in which only the time between t3 and t4 is available for evasive travel manoeuvres.
