Definitions
- Chemi-luminescent technology such as that taught in the Haeselich U.S. Patent No. 6,619,211, has been used to transmit visible energy to mark the trace and impact of practice ammunition. There are, however, certain drawbacks to this technology as currently practiced: (1) Chemi-luminescent materials do not work well at low temperatures, and (2)
- Phase Change Material A material that undergoes a phase transformation from solid to liquid, or liquid to gas, at a desired temperature with predictable physical attributes is called a "phase change material".
- the phase change material (a) stores heat and (b) insures that the absolute temperature of plume material does not burn dyes or exceed the effective output temperature of chemi- luminescent marking materials .
- the phase change material has another safety purpose in insuring that the projectile's maximum temperature does not exceed a temperature that would badly burn human skin (e.g., when handling a cartridge after a misfire), or would inadvertently ignite a range fire.
- Plume In the context of hydrodynamics and the present invention, a plume is a column of one or more buoyant marking materials and/or an atomized chemi-luminescent spray moving through the atmosphere in the vicinity of a target.
- FIG. 2 is a representational diagram of a practice ammunition projectile according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 5 is a representational diagram of the practice ammunition projectile of Fig. 2, upon impact with a target.
- Fig. 6 is a representational diagram of a practice ammunition projectile according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 7 is a representational diagram of a practice ammunition projectile according to a third preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the present invention combines known and novel methods of developing practice ammunition that generates a visible, near infrared and far infrared marking plume above the location of a projectile impact.
- this invention provides a heat engine for creating optimized performance characteristics exceeding the stand-alone performance of the individual constituents.
- a proper configuration allows for immediate development of a material plume over the point of impact after the projectile impact with a target.
- the post impact plume resulting from the present invention, provides for a multi- spectral shroud, remaining suspended in the atmosphere moments after impact.
- a good realistic impact signature for military- training ammunition normally includes a plume that replicates a high explosive detonation of operational ammunition.
- Multi-Spectral Plume and Signature Simulates a Live Detonation : The plume resulting from use of a practice
- the materials suspended in the plume (1) provide a reflective signature in the visual (day) conditions, (2) generate chemi- luminescent light at night (both in the visible and the near IR spectrum), (3) further heat suspended material, and (4) emit heat in a manner that has a good thermal contrast against the colder atmosphere and terrain in the vicinity of an impact. It is desirable to optimize laminar flow and minimize turbulence to insure that a plume reaches an optimum altitude above an impact point to provide good visibility from a firing point.
- This relative buoyancy of marking material allows the marking materials to remain suspended in the atmosphere and carried by winds at the target location.
- the technique of maximizing a suspension of a plume of multiple materials provides for visual, IR and thermal signatures.
- Such a projectile's marking signatures and plume closely replicate the visual, IR and thermal impact signatures and smoke clouds that result from high explosive detonations on targets .
- An actual impact detonation occurs in a few milliseconds
- the plume created by high-speed impact occurs in a much longer time frame (tens of milliseconds) .
- the difference in creation of a visual signature is imperceptible, however, except in the most unusual circumstances.
- Enhanced Chemi-Luminescent Effect It is possible to heat all marking materials (visual day, and near IR chemi- luminescent) by transmitting heat via a conductive heat sink from one compartment, where oxygen and a thermite type powder react, to other compartments so that the heat sink quickly imparts heat to all marking compounds contained in the projectile.
- the magnitude of light output from a chemical luminescence reaction increases in intensity when chemi- luminescent materials are exposed to heat. Brighter
- luminescence provides greater contrast to the surroundings and may be more readily identified at longer range. Further, accelerated chemi-luminescent reactions speed the dissipation of a chemi-luminescent signature so that the visual signature better replicates the signature of a high explosive detonation. Therefore, the shorter duration allows the signature to better approximate the signature of live ammunition. At temperatures approaching -20 0 C, the luminescence reaction rate slows or stops, rendering it ineffective. Use of this technique
- Heated Marking Plume Far Infrared (thermal) marking is created by heating a marking material to temperatures greater than their surroundings .
- a large temperature difference between a plume of day (dry powder) and night (chemi-luminescent) marking materials provides both a "brighter" signature viewed by visual and/or near IR devices and, in parallel, provides for heat contrast between plume material and ambient air when viewed by thermal viewing devices.
- a 20 0 C temperature differential between the thermal marker and its surroundings provides an effective contrast.
- a hotter material plume is particularly- visible (in contrast to the cooler ambient sky) when firing extended distances.
- Fig. 1 is a chart showing the rise in material
- Case 1 representing the lowest temperature rise in the plume material
- Case 2 representing a medium temperature characteristic
- Case 3 representing the most aggressive material temperature rise.
- Case 3 a phase change material permits an initial rapid rise in temperature and thereafter, due to a phase change, maintains a substantially stable temperature.
- 7,055,438 teaches the use of liquids (water and salts) to create a heat reaction to heat projectiles in flight and mark a point of impact (on a solid surface) .
- Manole further discloses projectile materials directly marking a target on impact. It is, however, important to note that marking a target (hitting a vertical target visible from an observation point) with a marking dye is not the same as providing a vertical plume signature when striking targets at oblique angles. Often military machine gun training ranges do not provide vertical targets and, when such targets are available, they may be impossible to view from an observation point.
- phase change material which insures that the transmission of heat (in a warmer ambient environment) does not burn, destroy or otherwise render ineffective the marking compounds, chemi-luminescent materials and dyes.
- [00057] Provides for optimized ejection (laminar flow of marking materials) to create and optimize creation of a post impact plume above a target.
- a frangible hood or ogive (as described, for example, in the U.S. Patent No. 6,619,211) containing a plurality of marking agents, such as the following:
- a far infrared or thermal marker [00063] A far infrared or thermal marker.
- the projectile body incorporates a "heat engine” comprising:
- a heat transfer boundary [00065] A heat transfer boundary. [00066] A solid oxidizing thermal fuel, typically formed from metals or metallic powders that, when exposed to air or oxygen, creates an exothermic thermite or similar reaction.
- the increased temperature of the near infrared marking materials results in increased brightness of a chemi- luminescent mix and improved performance at lower ambient starting temperatures.
- Step 4 As shown in Fig. 5, the frangible ogive bursts and the marking materials plume into the air and also coat the surface area of material, vegetation and grass
- the resulting plume and coating provide simultaneous marking in a multiple spectrum (visible, near infrared and far infrared) .
- Phase change material 10 may be introduced either as an additional layer on the surface of the heat transfer boundary, on the inner surface of the frangible ogive, or directly in the bulk mixture of the marking materials.
- Fig. 7 illustrates one possible option in the form of a thin film coating the heat transfer boundary.
