Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for actuating a proximity fuse and a device for carrying out the method.
  • explosive projectiles In order to effectively combat certain types of targets, explosive projectiles must be detonated at an optimal distance from the target.
  • the optimal detonation point is a few 10 m above the target, in order to use the active units released by the detonation of the projectile, e.g. B. High kinetic energy chips to hit these targets from above.
  • a lower explosive point is preferable, e.g. B. a few meters above the target, since such targets can preferably be fought from the side.
  • proximity fuses In order to combat various types of targets, explosive projectiles with proximity fuses are already known, in which the operating team sets the optimum firing interval immediately before the projectile is fired. In the event of heavy loading due to unusual combat situations and / or in the dark, incorrect operation cannot be ruled out, so that the projectile cannot be optimally effective as a result of an incorrectly set proximity detonator. Finally, the correct setting of the proximity fuse also depends on excellent and always up-to-date reconnaissance results, which are not available under all combat conditions.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a method for actuating a proximity fuse which avoids the aforementioned sources of error and ensures optimal use of the projectile.
  • a facility for carrying out the method is also to be created.
  • Fig. 1 in a schematic representation an approaching floor over a target area
  • Fig. 2 a block diagram of the device.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a floor 10, which is in the final approach to a target area in which different target types, for. B. hard goals 13, semi-hard goals 14 and soft goals 15 can be determined.
  • the projectile 10 transports an explosive charge 10a, which must be detonated in order to effectively combat a target at an optimal height above it.
  • the projectile 10 has an adjustable proximity fuse 11, which is able to measure the height of the projectile 10 above the ground or above a target and detonate the explosive charge 10a when an adjustable optimum height is reached.
  • the proximity fuse 11 can expediently work according to the radar principle or optically. Conventional ignition circuits enable the proximity igniter 11 to respond as a result of programming or setting when firing at a preset height above the ground.
  • the invention avoids this disadvantage by additionally providing a target sensor 17 on the floor 10 which is able to distinguish between different target types.
  • This target sensor is coupled to the proximity igniter 11 in such a way that - depending on the recognition of a specific target type - it causes it to respond at the optimum level for combating the detected target.
  • the target sensor 17 can be, for example, a metal detector which reacts to metal masses when approaching and is therefore able to detect armored and / or unarmored vehicles.
  • the target sensor 17 also works according to the radar principle and can determine its presence by emitting and receiving radiation reflected in particular from metallic targets.
  • the target sensor 17 triggers the distance detonator 11 at the optimal ground level H1 for this type of target, which is a few 10 m.
  • target types 13, 14 are effectively combatted, in particular by fragments with high kinetic energy, which are formed from the shell of the projectile 10 when the explosive charge 10a is detonated.
  • the target sensor 17 does not detect a target of the hard or semi-hard type 13, 14, it prevents the proximity fuze 11 from responding until the projectile 10 has reached the optimum height H2 above ground to combat a soft target 15. Since the optimum detonation height no longer has to be set by hand and the current battlefield situation is only evaluated immediately on the final approach of the projectile 10, operating errors and incorrect detonation heights can be avoided, so that extremely effective targeting is made possible.
  • Fig. 2 shows the device for performing the method as a block diagram.
  • the proximity fuse 11 is with the explosive charge. 10a connected.
  • the proximity detonator 11 operating according to the radar principle, the height above the target area is measured by transmitting and receiving reflected radio waves 12.
  • the proximity detonator 11 can be triggered in two different heights H1 and H2, for example, and detonate the explosive charge 10a.
  • a proximity sensor 17, which is able to recognize certain target properties, is connected to the proximity fuse 12.
  • it can be a metal detector that detects the presence of metallic components or else it can also be a radar transmitter / receiver that detects the presence of a likewise preferably metallic target due to emitted and reflected electromagnetic energy notes.
  • This target sensor 17 is linked to the proximity detonator 11 via a switching element 11a, which is only shown schematically, in such a way that it controls its time of detonation at a certain height above ground or above a target, and in a first switching position the proximity detonator 11 in address the height Hl above the earth's surface 16, while in the second switching position it is only activated at the height H2.

Abstract

Circuit de mise à feu pour un projectile (10) avec fusée détonatrice de proximité (11) qui peut être réglée pour différentes distances de cibles (H1, H2). Afin de combattre de la meilleure manière possible différents type de cibles (13, 14, 15), la fusée détonatrice de proximité (11) est équipée d'un détecteur de cibles (17) qui recueille des caractéristiques de cibles particulières et garantit que la fusée détonatrice de proximité (11) reßgit soit déjà à la distance (H1) soit seulement à la distance (H2) et fait exploser une charge explosive (10a).
