Definitions
- the invention relates to a warhead with an explosive charge enclosing Warhead casing.
- the charges consist of the known Warheads of a unitary material chosen such that the when the charge detonates, splinters generated in a particular direction (e.g. Flight direction) have a predetermined acceleration and angular distribution. Splinters flying in a different direction (e.g., perpendicular to the direction of flight) become Although then also correspondingly high speeds, although such a high acceleration this splitter is not necessary.
- the invention is based on the object, a warhead of the aforementioned Kind to reveal, on the one hand in detonation of its explosive charge a high acceleration the flying in the direction of splitter causes and on the other hand a less acceleration of splinters flying sideways from the warhead caused and / or in the side of a relatively strong pressure wave is generated.
- the invention is based essentially on the idea, not a uniform charge to arrange in the shell of the warhead, but at least two different To provide charges.
- the points in the area of the top of the warhead arranged, e.g. from octogen (HMX) existing first partial charge a high Detonation on, around the arranged before this partial charge heavy metal splitter (preferably WSM-ball splitter) at detonation of the explosive charge very much fast forward (in the direction of flight) to accelerate.
- this partial charge heavy metal splitter preferably WSM-ball splitter
- This partial charge is only for one Acceleration of the lateral flying away e.g. Steel splitter required.
- explosives can also be used as the second charge can be used, which only generates a strong lateral pressure wave.
- the first partial charge of a mixture of 70-90 vol% octogen (HMX) and 10-30 vol% of an inert plastic binder e.g., hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB)
- an inert plastic binder e.g., hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB)
- RDX hexogen
- both partial charges should use the same binders be used.
- the second partial charge should be a metal powder (e.g., aluminum powder). blended to create a blast effect.
- a metal powder e.g., aluminum powder
- the warhead 1 is a ballistic warhead fireable from a gun referred to, which is to be used against bunkered positions and while sideways from the respective position vehicles should also destroy.
- the warhead 1 comprises a warhead casing 2 made of steel, a front side of the warhead casing arranged proximity fuse 3, one adjoining the igniter Splinter plate 4 with heavy metal splinters (e.g., WSM balls) and an explosive charge 5.
- the explosive charge 5 is made up of four, in the direction of the longitudinal axis 6 of the warhead Seen 1, arranged in succession partial charges 7-10 together.
- the splitter plate 4 adjacent first partial charge 7 consists of a mixture of e.g. 90% HMX and 10% of a HTPB binder system and has a relatively high Guerney constant of 2830 m / s. This serves to make the WSM balls extra special to accelerate high in the direction of flight.
- the partial charges 8-10 are used to generate and accelerate the destruction the warhead casing 2 resulting splinters flying away from the side of the warhead. For this much less expensive RDX charges are sufficient. Both Splinters may be natural or preformed structural shards act.
- the RDX partial charges 8-10 can range from area to area have a different composition (e.g., charge 8: 85% RDX and 15% HTPB binder system; Charge 9: 90% RDX and 10% HTPB binder system and charge 10: 70% RDX, 10% HTPB binder system and 20% aluminum powder).
- the warhead casing 2 becomes a certain one Share filled with the first partial charge 7.
- the second mixture is poured on the first partial charge, etc.
- the layered Infusion of various formulations based on the same polymer system then leads to a "tailored" effect (detonation speed) the charge.
