Definitions

the invention relates to an artillery projectile with several identical submunitions, each having a projectile-forming charge and an antenna on one side and a flight stabilization means on the other side.
an artillery projectile is loaded with submunitions, such an artillery projectile usually has a different weight and a different center of gravity than a corresponding artillery projectile which is filled with an explosive charge. This must be taken into account when firing.
the object of the invention is to propose an artillery projectile of the type mentioned in the introduction, in which the submunitions are designed and housed in such a way that the projectile has the same center of gravity and the same weight as an artillery projectile loaded with a charge.
the above-mentioned object is achieved in that at least two submunitions are arranged axially one above the other in the projectile casing, in that a hollow storage space is formed between two adjacent submunitions is, which is divided by a cone-shaped partition lid, that the flight stabilizer of one submunition is stowed in the storage space on the convex side of the partition lid and the antenna of the adjacent submunition is located in the storage space on the concave side of the partition lid.
the storage spaces between the at least two submunitions By dimensioning the storage spaces between the at least two submunitions, these can be distributed in the shell so that the center of gravity and the weight of the artillery shell coincide with an artillery shell filled with a load.
the moments of inertia of the artillery projectiles also coincide around the longitudinal and transverse axes.
a projectile has a head (1), a projectile casing (2) and a projectile floor (3).
the shell (2) three submunitions (4,5,6) are axially aligned.
Each submunition (4, 5, 6) has a projectile-forming charge (8) and an ignition device (9) in a housing (7).
An antenna (10) is arranged on one side of the submunition (4, 5 or 6).
a parachute (11) is attached to the opposite side.
a hollow storage space (12) is created between the middle submunition (5) and the submunition (4) or the submunition (6). Its height is determined by an insertion sleeve (13). The insertion sleeve (13) keeps the neighboring submunitions at a distance.
the storage space (12) is divided by a cone-shaped partition lid (14).
the parachute (11) is located in the storage space (12) on the convex side of the separating cover (14).
the antenna (10) of the submunition (5 or 6) is located in the storage space (12) on the concave side of the separating cover (14).
a recess (15) is provided in the floor (3) to accommodate the parachute (11) of the submunition (6).
the antenna (10) of the uppermost submunition (4) runs under a cover plate (16) which is conical in shape in accordance with the shape of the antenna (10).
an insulation plate (17), for example made of steel, is inserted into the bottom of the housing (7).
the projectile has a weight and a center of gravity which are the same as a conventional artillery projectile of the same dimensions.
