Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mist launcher for delivering a fast-burning, spontaneous mist-producing deceptive component and a slow-burning, permanent mist-producing camouflage component with an ignition system for igniting an ejection charge, the camouflage component and the deceptive component, with the deceptive component in front of the camouflage component after initiation of the mist launcher comes into effect in the air and essentially a collocation of the spontaneous fog and the permanent fog takes place at the target.
  • Nebulization is a frequently used tactical and operational measure, whereby to protect a vehicle there is a need for an infrared-covering fog, which can be achieved with the help of two pyrotechnic components.
  • a deceptive component is implemented abruptly, thereby achieving immediate coverage of the vehicle to be protected by a spontaneous fog, while the implementation of a camouflage component enables a longer-lasting effect by approaching a permanent fog.
  • the deceptive component must be as short as possible and the camouflage component delayed and in close proximity to the Deceptive components come into effect, which can only be achieved with the temporally and spatially precisely coordinated functional sequence of the smoke nozzle.
  • a smoke throwing body of the type mentioned at the outset in which a safety line system enables the camouflage component to lie below the breakdown point of the deceptive component and from there to develop its effect.
  • deceptive and camouflage components remain in contact with the launch site after being fired from a throwing body via a safety line, the length of which corresponds to the desired firing range.
  • a propellant charge is initiated mechanically, so that first the deceptive component and after a well-defined delay time the camouflage component is implemented.
  • the safety line system cannot be used, particularly in the case of small-caliber ammunition, such as 76 or 66 mm, due to lack of space.
  • DE 28 30 119 A1 also discloses a mist-casting body of the type mentioned at the outset, with only a sub-body being ejected here.
  • Both DE 30 35 799 C2 and the Norwegian patent specification R 8000 disclose two-component smoke projectors in which the deceptive component is shot from a launch tube in front of the camouflage component and spatially implemented closer than the camouflage component at the launch site, so that no spontaneous fog collocation occurs and permanent fog takes place. Rather, both publications solve the task of increasing the functional reliability of a smoke nozzle, even when used in damp areas.
  • DE 38 44 300 A1 discloses a one-component mist ejection body which has an elongated tube which, on the one hand, can be inserted into a throwing cup and, on the other hand, from which active mass can be fired.
  • the elongated tube thus forms a secondary throwing cup, the use of which prevents contamination and damage to the actual throwing cup.
  • the elongated tube enables larger amounts of the active mass to be fired with the same range, while the recoil force is reduced due to the internal ballistic properties of the elongated tube.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a generic smoke throwing body that overcomes the above disadvantages and whose function can be precisely coordinated in terms of time and space, so that a collocation of spontaneous fog and permanent fog takes place. Furthermore, contamination and damage to a throwing body in which the fog throwing body can be used should essentially be avoided.
  • the smoke impact body according to the invention is characterized in that a relief chamber is arranged between the camouflage component and the deceptive component, which is connected to a first ignition chamber adjacent to the exhaust charge via a first channel in such a way that the pressure generated when the exhaust charge is ignited a separation of the deceptive component from the camouflage component and such a relative difference between the course of the ballistic trajectory of the deceptive component and that of the ballistic trajectory of the camouflage component causes the deceptive component and the camouflage component to approach each other so far at the destination that the collocation of the spontaneous fog and the this time delay approaching permanent fog without mechanical connection the camouflage component and the deceptive component is guaranteed.
  • the diameter of the first channel is matched to the volume of the first ignition chamber and the relief chamber so that after firing the deceptive component is accelerated by a predetermined factor relative to the camouflage component.
  • the invention also proposes that a separation charge is provided between the camouflage component and the deceptive component, which can be initiated via the ignition system in such a way that it accelerates the deceptive component relative to the camouflage component.
  • the camouflage component and / or the deceptive component has an air resistance coefficient, which leads to the fact that the deceptive component flies faster than the camouflage component after firing.
  • camouflage component is equipped with a braking mechanism, such as extendable wings or the like.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized by a contact head and an elongated sleeve connected to the contact head, the contact head and the sleeve being insertable into a throwing cup and forming a secondary throwing cup, from which the deceptive component and the camouflage component respond after transmission of an ignition pulse the contact head can be closed, while the contact head and the sleeve remain in the throwing cup.
  • the sleeve at its end opposite the contact head essentially closes with the deceptive component and thus all necessary Encloses components of the smoke nozzle.
  • a second channel is connected to the relief space and is at least partially arranged in the area of the deceptive component.
  • the invention proposes that the ignition system comprises a first delay means and a first igniter charge to ignite the camouflage component and / or a second delay means and a second igniter charge to ignite the deceptive component.
  • the contact head is connected to a first electrical igniter, such as a squib or the like, for igniting the ejection charge via contact rings or a coil.
  • a first electrical igniter such as a squib or the like
  • the ammunition has a modular structure, each module being connected to the ignition system and a first module having the camouflage component and a second module having the deceptive component.
  • an interface which is an electrical and / or pyrotechnic interface, to the next module is defined in each module.
  • an electrical interface lead to at least one second electrical igniter, such as a squib or the like.
  • a pyrotechnic interface comprises at least one pyroline, such as a fuse or the like.
  • the invention provides that the camouflage component is in the form of compacts which are distributed on a floor when the camouflage component strikes.
  • the invention is based on the surprising finding that an infrared-covering fog can be produced by means of a second-component smoke sausage body in that a deceptive component separates from a camouflage component when it is fired and accelerates relative to it and, in terms of time, comes into effect before it, so that the im have substantially approached the ballistic trajectories of the two components at the target, which run separately from one another, to the extent that a collocation of a spontaneous fog and a permanent fog approaching the same with a time delay occurs.
  • the pressure released when an ejection charge is implemented is passed between the camouflage component and the deceptive component in order to bring about a delay in the camouflage component and at the same time an acceleration of the deceptive component, which is caused by an additional separating charge between the camouflage component and the deceptive component and / or the addition of drag coefficients
  • Camouflage component and / or the deceptive component can be reinforced.
  • An elongated sleeve forming a secondary throwing cup together with a contact head also enables precise adjustment of the trajectories of the camouflage component and the deceptive component and at the same time serves to protect the actual throwing cup.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates an example of the ammunition principle of a smoke missile 2 according to the invention, which comprises a camouflage component 4 and a deceptive component 6.
  • the housing of the mist throwing body 2 is essentially cup-shaped, is composed of a contact head 10 and a sleeve 20 connected to it and forms a secondary throwing cup, which is in a conventional throwing cup, not shown, such as. B. a "Wegmann cup” is insertable.
  • a "Wegmann cup” is insertable.
  • the sleeve 20 is longer than conventional throwing cups, whereby the secondary throwing cup, when loaded into a primary throwing cup, projects beyond the latter.
  • the ignition system of the mist launcher 2 comprises an exhaust charge 30 in an ignition chamber 40, which is connected via a channel 50 axially crossing the camouflage body 4 to a relief chamber 60 between the camouflage component 4 and the deceptive component 6. Also between the camouflage component 4 and the deceptive component 6 is a separating charge 70 in an ignition chamber 80, the separating charge 70 being connected on the one hand to the relief chamber 60 and on the other hand to a channel 90 which extends axially over at least part of the length of the deceptive component 6.
  • the deceptive component 6 is arranged within a can 100, which is essentially flush with the sleeve 10, so that the mist body 2 is sealed only in Area of the mouth between the can 100 and the sleeve 20, for example, a sealing ring, not shown, is arranged or the fake component 6, for example, is crimped against the seal with a sleeve protrusion.
  • the camouflage component 4 is preferably designed in the form of compacts, which can act as a point mist in succession or simultaneously mist off over the floor.
  • FIG. 2 shows a launching location 200, a ballistic trajectory 206 of the deceptive component 6 and the location 216 of the spontaneous fog arising after the deception component 6 is fired and a ballistic trajectory 204 of the camouflage component 4 as well as the location 214 of the permanent fog that arises after the camouflage component 4 is ignited:
  • the smoke missile 2 is in the first step in a throw cup, not shown, for. B. "Wegmann cup", inserted, two not shown, along the contact head 10 extending, contact rings forming metal strips come into contact with the ignition system, not shown, of the throwing cup and at the contact head 10 opposite end, the sleeve 20 protrudes from the throwing cup.
  • an electrical ignition pulse is next supplied to the metal strips of the mist launcher 2, as a result of which the ejection charge 30 is ignited via an electrical igniter (not shown).
  • the deceptive component 6 thus leaves the sleeve 20 separately from and relatively accelerates to the camouflage component 4 after the discharge charge 30 has been fired, so that the ballistic trajectory 204 of the camouflage component 4 runs differently from the ballistic trajectory 206 of the deceptive component 6.
  • the difference between the two ballistic tracks 204, 206 is dependent on the aerodynamic design of the components 4, 6, the dimensioning and placement of the ignition chamber 40, the channel 50 and the relief chamber 60 and the separating charge 70. It has proven to be particularly preferred for a 7.6 cm infrared-covering smoke throwing body if the ignition space 40 between the ejection charge 30 and the camouflage component 4 has an axial height of approximately 10 mm, the axially extending channel 50 arranged centrally above the ejection charge 30 has a minimum diameter of 5 mm - 10 mm and the relief space 60 has an axial height of preferably 5 mm.
  • the permanent fog 214 occurs after the ignition of the first igniter charge via the first delay piece.
  • the two delay pieces are dimensioned, with knowledge of the ballistic trajectories 204, 206, in such a way that the deceptive component 6 is ignited in front of the camouflage component 4 and the camouflage component 4 comes to rest under the breakdown point of the deceptive component 6 as well as their effect there, in order to provide a longer-lasting fog from the ground by approaching and thus to allow the spontaneous fog 216 of the permanent fog 214 to collapse.
  • the camouflage component 4 hits the ground, the compacts forming the camouflage charge 4 can be distributed, as a result of which the permanent fog region 214 is enlarged when the latter burns down.
  • the secondary throwing cup which is composed of the contact head 10 and the sleeve 20, has to be removed, which is easily possible and leaves a clean and undamaged throwing cup.
  • the two components or modules of the smoke ejection body according to the invention can each be composed such that, after ignition, they lead to visual or infrared-covering and / or radar-effective fog, any conceivable combination being possible.
