Definitions

  • the invention relates to a body axially attachable to an artillery projectile with a functional part designed as a radar reflector, according to the preamble of the claim.
  • a body is known, for example, from DE utility model 7 934 250: this document describes that the radar reflector can be attached to the floor of the projectile as an additional component and fastened thereon by means of screws.
  • this type of fastening is safe and simple, it requires drilling holes and cutting threads in the floor of the storeys and therefore appropriate preparation, which must be carried out in a workshop.
  • an artillery projectile of the usual type is designated by 1.
  • a first radar reflecting body 2 has a base 3, which, as described in DE utility model 7 934 250, is designed as a multiple triple mirror reflector.
  • a sleeve 4 is formed, which is intended to be attached to the pin (rear part) of the projectile.
  • a second radar reflecting body 5 has a sleeve 6 which is intended to be plugged onto the bow tip (bow part) of the projectile, while - not visible in the drawing - the front part 7 of the body 5 as a radar reflector, e.g. B. is designed as a Fresnel lens or as a Van Atta reflector.
  • the two bodies 2 and 5 are each designed to be rotationally symmetrical about a longitudinal axis 8, 8 ', the longitudinal axis 8, 8' coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the projectile when plugged in.
  • the two bodies 2 and 5 are also shown in FIG. 1 as bodies which are rotationally symmetrical about the longitudinal axis 8, 8 '; Variants with rotationally symmetrical, but not rotationally symmetrical bodies are also described below.
  • the body 2, which is designed as a multiple triple mirror reflector, consists of metal, for example of brass, or of the aluminum alloy mentioned in DE Utility Model 7 934 250.
  • the body 5 designed as a Fresnel lens or as a Van Atta reflector is, for example, in two parts with a sleeve 6 made of brass or aluminum alloy and a front part 7 made of plastic such as epoxy or polyurethane resin, which in a manner known per se to form a Fresnel lens or a Van Atta reflector is coated with a metallic layer pattern (e.g. made of copper or aluminum).
  • a metallic layer pattern e.g. made of copper or aluminum
  • a variant of a radar reflecting body to be plugged onto a projectile is shown in section.
  • This body is made in one piece from metal, but a base part 21 and a sleeve 22 can be distinguished.
  • the bottom part 21 also forms the radar-reflecting functional part; for this purpose it is designed as a multiple triple mirror reflector of the type described in DE Utility Model 7 934 250, which is shown in the drawing by the cutting boundaries 23 and 24.
  • the entire body is designed to be rotationally symmetrical about an axis 25, while the sleeve 22 is designed to be rotationally symmetrical about this axis 25, specifically in such a way that it can be fitted onto the projectile pin in a precisely fitting manner.
  • a radar reflecting body to be plugged onto the arch tip of a projectile is shown in section.
  • the entire body is rotationally symmetrical about the axis 51.
  • the sleeve 52 made of metal is glued to a plastic radar-reflecting functional part 53.
  • Electrically conductive strips 55 are attached to the outer surface 54 of the functional part 53, which cooperatively form a Fresnel lens.
  • the inner part 56 of the sleeve is shaped in such a way that it fits exactly on the arch tip of the projectile.
  • the inner part 57 of the functional part 53 is provided with a corresponding recess for receiving the top detonator of the projectile.
  • a detonating cord 59 is provided on the outside 58 of the sleeve 52, a detonating cord 59 is provided in a bead arranged essentially rotationally symmetrically about the axis 51, the ignition of which after the sleeve has been plugged onto the projectile in a manner known per se by pressing on and optionally by explosive welding or electric discharge welding the sleeve 52 with the bow tip of the projectile.
  • FIG. 4 shows a half section of a radar reflecting body 63 to be plugged onto the projectile pin and an explosive device 60 arranged thereon.
  • the body 63 is after attached to the floor using the process known as "explosive welding".
  • the body 63 is made in one piece from metal, its bottom part 64 is designed as a multiple triple mirror reflector, which is represented in the drawing by the cutting boundaries 70 and 71.
  • a sleeve 65 of the radar reflecting body 63 has an annular groove 66 on its outer side 73.
  • the explosive device 60 consists of a housing 68 which is rotationally symmetrical with respect to the axis 61 and which is filled with explosive 67.
  • the explosive 67 is ignited by means of a plurality of detonating cords 69 which are embedded in a body 72 made of rigid foam. Due to the explosive effect, the sleeve 65 is severed at the location of the groove 66, as a result of which the sleeve 65 is closed in a straight line.
  • the radar-reflecting body 63 is explosively welded onto a floor, its rear is cleaned and degreased with solvent and rubbed with an emery cloth. Subsequently, the body 63 with the explosive device 60 is placed on the rear of the projectile and the explosive 67 - preferably from a distance - is ignited.

Claims (1)

  1. Pièce à symétrie de révolution (2, 5) autour de son axe longitudinal (8, 8'; 25, 51, 61) susceptible d'être réunie axialement à un projectile d'artillerie (1), avec une pièce fonctionelle (3,7) en forme de réflecteur radar et une douille (4, 6; 22; 52; 65) réalisée en une seule pièce avec la pièce fonctionnelle et ayant une symétrie de rotation suivant l'axe longitudinal, et qui est destinée à être emmanchée sur le projectile, caractérisée en ce qu'au voisinage ou au niveau de la face extérieure (58, 73) de la douille (52, 65), il est prévu au moins un dispositif explosif (59, 60) ayant essentiellement une symétrie de rotation autour de l'axe longitudinal (51, 61) et qui est créé et est destiné pour assurer par son allumage, une liaison par la forme entre la douille et le projectile.
