Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container for self-propelled ammunition including missile type.
  • the invention was carried out with the aim of overcoming this lack, that is to say to secure a container for ammunition and more particularly for missile, and it therefore relates to a missile container which, all by presenting all the qualities of the containers known, and while remaining within weight limits and acceptable dimensions, provides a security by preventing or at least limiting ammunition reactions inside when assaulted, as well as the effects on the neighborhood of an accidental initiation of this ammunition.
  • the main purpose of the invention is to secure such a container against the aggressions.
  • They can be external: impact of fragments from the outside; local gas jet in combustion coming to attack the container on one of its walls; fire located outside the container; free fall ; particle fields or field magnetic. Securing also concerns internal attacks generated by the missile itself in limiting the thrust when the propellant and limiting, in case of detonation of the military charge, the external effects and especially the risk of detonation by influence of charges soldiers stored in secure containers neighbors.
  • the container preferably has a thermal shielding on its two side walls. he it is advantageously a layer of material ablative, reported, for example by gluing, on the outer skin of the envelope.
  • ballistic armor consists of elements separated from the outer layer of the envelope by an air knife, to prevent transmission direct shocks to the envelope and limit heat transfer phenomena.
  • the establishment an intumescent paint finish allows increase the resistance of the container to attack thermal.
  • a secure missile container consists of a waterproof envelope formed of an elongated parallelepipedic body 2, closed at the rear by a removable panel 4, and at the front by a door 3 intended for loading and unloading the missile.
  • the body 2 of container is fitted with laying pads 5 ensuring interface with the ground or other container when stacking, as well as palletizing tunnels 6.
  • the reference 7 designates front belts and rear wearing accessories necessary for handling and stowage.
  • the container body 2 is made in one sandwich, Figs. 2, 3, having an inner skin 20 in stainless steel, balsa 21 core and skin external 22 of composite material such as composite glass-resin (CVR).
  • the thickness of the inner skin 20 stainless steel can be of the order of 2 mm. She performs sealing, mechanical strength, electromagnetic protection and fixing elements including a chassis which will be mentioned in the after.
  • the thickness of the balsa core 21 can be close to the 50 mm. It acts as a thermal insulator and gives the sandwich inertia allowing it to resist mechanical stress due to pressure or the thrust of a propellant jet.
  • the skin outer 22 may have a thickness of the order of 5 mm. It protects balsa climatically and serves interface for mounting the aforementioned equipment on the outside of the container body 2. All of these thicknesses are given by way of example but are not in no way limiting.
  • the inner skin 20 is locally reinforced with another layer of steel highly resistant 23, Fig. 4, layer 23 constituting a splinter guard.
  • the container body 2 On its upper side, as can be seen better at Figs. 2 and 3, the container body 2 is provided with a ballistic armor 24 made of metal or composite material, intended to ensure the impact resistance of fragments. Made up of flat elements fixed on profiles, the shield 24 is separated from the outer skin 22 by a enclosed air space, to prevent transmission direct shocks and limit the phenomena of Thermal transfer.
  • a ballistic armor 24 made of metal or composite material, intended to ensure the impact resistance of fragments.
  • the shield 24 Made up of flat elements fixed on profiles, the shield 24 is separated from the outer skin 22 by a enclosed air space, to prevent transmission direct shocks and limit the phenomena of Thermal transfer.
  • the lateral faces of the body. of container 2 are as for them coated with a thermal shielding 25 intended to ensure the resistance to the secondary jet of a propellant.
  • the thermal shielding 25 is an ablative coating such as phenolic carbon, phenolic glass or charged silicone, fixed for example by bonding to the outer skin 22. In practice, it may have a thickness of the order of 5 mm.
  • Door 3 is made of a sandwich of the same nature as that constituting the container body 2. It is a door with multipoint closure controlled by a removable central handle 35.
  • door 3 has a groove peripheral 31 into which a seal is inserted seal 32.
  • the seal 32 cooperates with a joint plane 26 mounted at the end of the walls of the body of container 2.
  • a second thermal protection seal, not shown, is mounted externally to the climate seal 32.
  • the door presents externally a central hollow or bowl region 33 at the bottom of which are installed the closure as well as various components such as a pressure gauge, valve, humidity indicator, shock indicators, etc.
  • the handle 35 of the system door closure can be pressed against the bottom of the bowl 33, in the storage position, as shown in solid lines in FIG. 4 and in lines interrupted in FIG. 5.
  • the cover 34 is made in a sandwich of the same kind as that constituting the door and the container body.
  • panel 4 closing the rear of the container, Fig. 1.
  • panel 4 internally has a peripheral groove 41 containing a climate seal 42, while a seal thermal, not shown, is mounted externally by compared to climate seal 42.
  • the rear panel 4 is attached to the container body by a system of attachment ensuring its embrittlement in the event of ignition accidental missile propellant.
  • this fastening system can consist of a plurality of thermally protected screws.
  • the container is equipped to receive a set formed of a missile and its cradle. It is at this effect provided internally with a frame 8 mounted on metal cable shock absorbers 81, themselves mounted on supports 82 fixed to the internal skin in steel 20.
  • the chassis 8 essentially comprises two metal rails 80, Figs. 2 and 3, providing support and guiding the cradle of the missile.
  • the cradle 9 includes a central beam 90 on which are mounted a collar before 91 and a collar rear 92, Fig. 1, the collars 91 and 92 being more joined together above by a bar 93.
  • the material of timing ensuring the interface between the missile and the front collar can provide thermal protection complementary by wrapping the military charge.
  • the cradle 9 is provided an anti-thrust device for the ignition case accidental missile propellant: beam 90 of cradle is extended beyond the rear collar 92 to carry a stop plate 94 appearing at the Fig. 1.
  • a folding bar 95 ensures the connection upper between the rear collar 92 and the plate 94.
  • a system of polarization prohibiting the installation of the cradle 9 in loading position on chassis 8 if the bar link 95 was not previously locked.
  • the resumption of the forces generated by the thrust of the engine of the missile is obtained by the mechanical connection of the bars 93 and 95 with the hanging fittings of the missile under aircraft.
