Abstract

The aim of the invention is to combine the cascade effect of frangible pellets (25) with sub-projectiles (27, 28, 30) consisting of a ductile heavy metal and thus to create ammunition (10) that combines the advantages of, for example, frangible pellets (25) of a central penetrator (24) with the advantages of the ductile heavy metals (27, 28) of an external penetrator (26). This permits an improved performance to be achieved for different targets even at low impact velocities. The external penetrator is arc-shaped or banana-shaped.

Universal -KE-Geschoss, insbesondere für MittelkalibermunitionenUniversal-KE projectile, especially for medium-caliber ammunition
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Universal- KE - Geschoss nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentan- spruchs 1 , ein Verfahren zur Herstellung des Geschosses sowie seine Verwendung.The invention relates to a universal KE projectile according to the preamble of patent claim 1, a method for producing the projectile and its use.
Bekannte Munitionstypen haben gegen moderne Ziele häufig keine durchschlagende Wirkung mehr, so dass ein Munitionstyp gefordert wird, der in der Lage ist, in einem Ziel eine grosse Zerstörleistung zu vollbringen. Dies wird mittels einer grossen Sprlitterwirkung in Ra- dialer- wie in der Tieferichtung des Zieles erreicht. Zudem wird die Zerstörleistung noch durch den auftretenden Blast unterstützt.Known types of ammunition often no longer have a resounding effect against modern targets, so that a type of ammunition is required which is capable of achieving a large destruction performance in a target. This is achieved by means of a large splintering effect in the radial dial and in the lower direction of the target. In addition, the destruction performance is supported by the blast that occurs.
Aus der EP 0 853 228 B1 ist ein gattungsmäßiges Geschoss sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung bekannt. Mit diesem Verfahren können Geschosse mit ein- oder mehrteiligen Ge- schosskörpern ( Penetrator bzw. Penetratorteiien) verschiedener Form und Grosse einfach und zeitsparend hergestellt werden. Der Mantel des Geschosses besteht aus einer mit einer Geschosshülle fest verbundenen Geschossspitze, die im Innern eine Zentrierung aufweist, in welcher der Geschosskörper geführt und gehalten wird. Die Rückseite der Geschosshülle ist mit einem den Geschosskörper teilweise umfassenden Dichtungskörper verschlossen. Bei diesen als Vollkaliber - KE- Geschosse bekannten Geschosse bestehen die Geschosshülle als auch das Geschossheck häufig aus Aluminium, wobei auch Stahl eingesetzt wird. Die ballistische Geschossspitze ist gleichfalls aus Aluminium, kann aber auch aus Kunststoff sein.EP 0 853 228 B1 discloses a generic projectile and a method for its production. With this method, bullets with one- or multi-part bullet bodies (penetrator or penetrator parts) of different shapes and sizes can be produced easily and in a time-saving manner. The shell of the projectile consists of a projectile tip firmly connected to a projectile casing, which has a centering on the inside in which the projectile body is guided and held. The back of the projectile casing is closed with a sealing body which partially encompasses the projectile body. In these bullets known as full-caliber KE bullets, the bullet shell and the bullet tail are often made of aluminum, with steel also being used. The ballistic bullet tip is also made of aluminum, but can also be made of plastic.
FAP - Geschoss (Frangible Armour Piercing) genannte Geschosse wirken aufgrund ihrer kinetischen Energien in verschiedenen Zielen. Diese Geschosse besitzen einen Kern aus frangiblen Material, der nach EP 0 853 228 B1 aus verschiedenen Frangible- Pillen zusammengesetzt sein kann. Als Werkstoff für diese Teilgeschosskörper wird frangibles als auch duktiles Schwermetall vorgeschlagen. Der Kern wird beispielsweise im Spritzgußverfahren mit Kunststoff ummantelt.Bullets called FAP (Frangible Armor Piercing) work in different targets due to their kinetic energies. These bullets have a core made of frangible material, which according to EP 0 853 228 B1 can be composed of different frangible pills. Frangible as well as ductile heavy metal is proposed as the material for these sub-storey structures. The core is coated with plastic, for example, by injection molding.
Auch bei FAP - Geschossen ist bekanntlich die Leistung im Ziel abhängig von der Auftreffgeschwindigkeit. Dabei muss als erstes die Geschossspitze respektive die Geschoss- hülle aufbrechen, damit der Frangible - Kern wirken kann. Das Aufbrechen eines Fangible - Kerns braucht auch Energie. Bei tiefer Auftreffgeschwindigkeit (z.B. große Schussdistanz) ist die Energie häufig zu gering, damit der Kern noch genügend fragmentiert. Dies hat zur Folge, dass die Breitenwirkung im Ziel kleiner wird. Ein derartiger Kern hat zudem die Eigenschaft, dass er beispielsweise bei Testzwecken zur Simulierung unterschiedlicher Ziele in einem Staffelziel in mehrere Splitter zerbricht. Diese Splitter brechen weiter auf die nächste Platte usw. , was man Kaskadeneffekt nennt. Diese Splitter können so klein werden, dass ihre Energie nicht mehr ausreicht, um die nächste Platte durchschlagen zu können. D.h., nach einigen Platten (in grösserer Zieltiefe) fällt die erwünschte Breitenwirkung zusammen.With FAP bullets, as is well known, the performance in the target depends on the impact speed. First of all, the top of the floor or the floor Break open the shell so that the frangible core can work. Breaking open a fangible core also requires energy. At low impact speeds (e.g. long shooting distances) the energy is often too low so that the core is still sufficiently fragmented. As a result, the breadth of the target becomes smaller. Such a core also has the property that it breaks into several splinters, for example for test purposes to simulate different targets in a relay target. These fragments continue to break onto the next plate, etc., which is called the cascade effect. These fragments can become so small that their energy is no longer sufficient to be able to penetrate the next plate. That is, after a few slabs (in greater target depth), the desired broad effect coincides.

Freymond auf dem NDIA 37. Gun & Ammo Syposium vom 15.- 18.

Der Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, die Breitenwirkung in einem Ziel zu steigern. Zusätzlich soll in einem Monoblockziel eine möglichst hohe Durchschlagleistung erzielt werden.The object of the invention is to increase the broad effect in a target. In addition, the highest possible penetration rate should be achieved in a monoblock target.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 , des Patentanspruchs 10 sowie des Patentanspruchs 13.The object is achieved by the features of patent claim 1, patent claim 10 and patent claim 13.
Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, den Kaskadeneffekt der Frangible - Pillen mit Subprojektilen aus duktilen Schwermetall zu kombinieren, d.h. eine Munition zu schaffen, in welcher Vorteile eines Zentralpenetrators bestehend aus beispielsweise frangible Pillen, mit Vorteilen duktiler Schwermetalle eines Außenpenetrators kombiniert werden. Duktiles Schwermetall hat die Eigenschaft auf den Zielplatten nicht zu zerbrechen, so dass sich ein guter Splitterkegel ausbilden kann.The invention is based on the idea of combining the cascade effect of the frangible pills with sub-projectiles made of ductile heavy metal, i.e. to create an ammunition in which the advantages of a central penetrator consisting, for example, of frangible pills, are combined with the advantages of ductile heavy metals of an external penetrator. Ductile heavy metal has the property of not breaking on the target plates, so that a good splinter cone can form.
Aus der DE 40 16 051 C2 ist ein Mantelpenetrator für ein KE - Geschoss bekannt, welcher als duktile Ummantelung den druckempfindlichen Penetrator schützt und deren abschußfeste Befestigung auf dem Penetratorkern eine kostengünstige Serienfertigung ermöglicht. Im Gegensatz dazu soll der vorzugsweise bogenförmig angeordnete Außenpenetrator, aufgebaut aus einzelnen Subprojetilen.hier die Knickwirkung auslösen, damit die um den Außenpenetrator befindliche Geschosshülle sofort zerreißt und die duktilen Subprojektile freigesetzt werden. Diese Subprojektile werden nach der Montage mit eingespritztem Kunststoff im Außenpenetrator fixiert, was den Vorteil hat, dass die den Außenpenetrator umgebende Geschosshülle sehr dünn gestaltet werden kann. Diese dünne Hülle hat eine einfache Öffnung im Ziel zur Folge.From DE 40 16 051 C2 a jacket penetrator for a KE projectile is known, which protects the pressure-sensitive penetrator as a ductile casing and whose fireproof attachment to the penetrator core enables cost-effective series production. In contrast, the preferably arcuate outer penetrator, made up of individual subprojectiles, should trigger the buckling effect here, so that the shell of the projectile around the outer penetrator immediately tears and releases the ductile subprojectiles become. After assembly, these subprojectiles are fixed with injected plastic in the external penetrator, which has the advantage that the shell of the projectile surrounding the external penetrator can be made very thin. This thin shell results in an easy opening in the target.
In einem Monoblockziel wirkt hauptsächlich der Zentral - Penetrator aus Frangible - Pillen. Dies ermöglicht diesem Geschoss einen universellen Einsatz.The central penetrator made of frangible pills mainly acts in a monoblock target. This enables this projectile to be used universally.
Geschaffen wird also ein FAP -Geschoss mit FRAP (Fragmenting payload) -Konzept.An FAP floor with a FRAP (fragmenting payload) concept is thus created.
Anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels mit Zeichnung soll die Erfindung näher erläutert werden. Es zeigt:The invention will be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment with a drawing. It shows:

In Fig. 1 ist eine Munition 10 aufgezeigt, die im wesentlichen ein Geschoss 1 , ein Führungsband 2, Rillen 3, eine Patronenhülse 4, Treibladung 5 umfasst.1 shows an ammunition 10 which essentially comprises a projectile 1, a guide band 2, grooves 3, a cartridge case 4, propellant charge 5.
In Fig. 2 ist zur näheren Betrachtung des Geschosses 1 dieses im Schnitt dargestellt, wobei die Fig. 2 eine erste Ausführungsform beinhaltet.2 shows a section of the projectile 1 for closer inspection, FIG. 2 including a first embodiment.
Das Geschoss 1 , ein Universal - (Mehrzweck) - KE- Geschoss, wird durch eine Geschossspitze 20, eine Geschosshülle 21 , sowie eine Geschossheck 22 gebildet. Mit 24 ist ein Zen- tralpenetrator gekennzeichnet, welcher sich vorzugsweise aus Frangible - Pillen 25 zusammensetzt, kann aber auch aus einem Stück sein, und wird in vielen Fällen auch als Geschosskern bezeichnet. Ein mit 26 bezeichneter Außenpenetrator besteht aus kugelförmigen 27, eventuell auch aus zylinderförmigen 28 (zylinderartige bzw. -ähnliche und/ oder würfelförmige und / oder tonnenähnliche) duktilen Schwermetallen (Fig. 3), die hier als Sub- projektile 27, 28 bezeichnet werden. Ein Endpenetrator 29, vorzugsweise das Ende des frangiblen Zentralpenetraotrs 24, weist in einer weiteren Variante gemäß Fig. 4 ebenfalls kugelförmige oder zylinderförmige duktile Schwermetalle 30 auf, die ebenfalls als Subprojektile bezeichnet werden.The projectile 1, a universal (multi-purpose) KE projectile, is formed by a projectile tip 20, a projectile envelope 21 and a projectile rear 22. 24 denotes a central penetrator, which is preferably composed of frangible pills 25, but can also be made of one piece, and in many cases is also referred to as a projectile core. An outer penetrator denoted by 26 consists of spherical 27, possibly also cylindrical 28 (cylinder-like or -like and / or cube-shaped and / or barrel-like) ductile heavy metals (FIG. 3), which are referred to here as sub-projectiles 27, 28. An end penetrator 29, preferably the end of the frangible central penetrator 24, also has a further variant according to FIG. 4 spherical or cylindrical ductile heavy metals 30, which are also referred to as subprojectiles.
Der Außenpenetrator 26 besitzt in allen Varianten vorzugsweise eine bogenförmige bzw. bananenförmige Form oder Anordnung, um die Knickwirkung bevorzugt auszulösen, damit die Geschosshülle 21 zerreißt und die Subprojektile 27, 28 freigesetzt werden. Beim Auftreffen der Munition 10 auf ein nicht näher dargestelltes Ziel wird neben der Geschossspitze 20 auch die Geschosshülle 21 , unterstützt vom Außenpenetrator 26, zerstört. Die frei werdenden Subprojektile 27, 28 unterstützen ihrerseits den Zentralpenetrator 24 bzw. die Pillen 25 beim Eindringen in das Ziel. Eine weitere Verbessung (der Splitterverteilung) kann des Weiteren durch den Einsatz des Endpenetrators 29 geschaffen werden. Auch hier haben die Subprojektile 30 eine unterstützende Wirkung.In all variants, the outer penetrator 26 preferably has an arc-shaped or banana-shaped shape or arrangement in order to preferably trigger the kinking action, so that the projectile shell 21 tears and the sub-projectiles 27, 28 are released. When the ammunition 10 strikes a target, which is not shown in detail, in addition to the projectile tip 20, the projectile casing 21, supported by the external penetrator 26, is destroyed. The released sub-projectiles 27, 28 in turn support the central penetrator 24 or the pills 25 when penetrating the target. A further improvement (the splinter distribution) can also be created by using the end penetrator 29. The subprojectiles 30 also have a supporting effect here.
Die Geschossspitze 20 als auch die Geschosshülle 21 können aus Aluminium bestehen. Alternativ bietet sich auch die Möglichkeit an, die Geschossspitze 20 aus gespritztem Material zu formen, beispielsweise aus Kunststoff. Dieser Kunststoff kann bevorzugt ein hoch- warmfester, faserverstärkter, thermoplastischer Kunststoff sein. Gleiches gilt für die Geschosshülle 21 , die ebenfalls aus einem Kunststoff gebildet sein kann, wobei sich hier auch eine Kombination von Kunststoff und Stahl anbietet.The projectile tip 20 and the projectile casing 21 can be made of aluminum. Alternatively, it is also possible to form the projectile tip 20 from injection-molded material, for example from plastic. This plastic can preferably be a high-temperature, fiber-reinforced, thermoplastic. The same applies to the projectile casing 21, which can also be formed from a plastic, a combination of plastic and steel also being offered here.
Um die Toleranzen bei der Montage des Geschosses 1 aufzuheben und um die Subprojektile 27, 28 außen zu halten, wird in einer bevorzugten Variante von der Geschossspitzte 20 her Kunststoff eingespritzt, wobei der Kunststoff auch von der Heckseite eingespritzt werden kann. Diese Variante bedingt beispielsweise nur eine kleine Bohrung, vorzugsweise zen- trisch im Heckbereich. Die Verwendung von Kunststoff ermöglicht die Verwendung einer sehr dünnen Geschosshülle 21. Das damit verbundene Verfahren ist einfach und ermöglicht eine kostengünstige Fabrikation. In order to cancel the tolerances during the assembly of the projectile 1 and to keep the subprojectiles 27, 28 out, in a preferred variant plastic is injected from the projectile tip 20, wherein the plastic can also be injected from the rear side. This variant requires, for example, only a small hole, preferably centrally in the rear area. The use of plastic enables the use of a very thin shell 21. The process involved is simple and enables inexpensive fabrication.
