Definitions
- the technical field of the invention is that of ammunition allowing the destruction of targets strongly protected by a wall for example of concrete.
- the body piercing this ammunition has an insert massive which is embedded inside the body material.
- This insert is made of a dense and resistant alloy mechanically, chosen for example from among the materials refractories and their alloys (tungsten, tantalum, uranium).
- the material of the body is formed by steel which is poured around the insert.
- This ammunition has the disadvantage of being complex to manufacture. It is difficult and expensive to achieve a dense core of large diameter (greater than 90mm) and having high mechanical characteristics in a way reproducible (density greater than 13, elastic limit greater than 1000 Mega Pascals). Indeed these materials are implemented in the form of powders by the techniques of compression.
- the munition according to the invention to ensure the perforation of a concrete target regardless the angle of impact on the target.
- the invention relates to a perforating munition comprising a penetration body delimiting a cavity internal closed by a base, ammunition characterized in that the penetration body is made of a material having a yield strength greater than or equal to 1,200 Mega Pascals and has a front tip comprising at least one insert integral with the tip, insert made of a material high mechanical characteristics, denser than that of the body and disposed in a housing opening out of the body.
- the inserts are shaped into radially arranged segments around an axial extension of the body, segments rendered integral with the body by a connecting means.
- the connecting means may comprise at least one ring surrounding the inserts.
- This piercing ammunition may also include a dense alloy nose at the end of the extension axial axis of the body and having a rear surface resting on the segments.
- each insert may be constituted by a bar substantially cylindrical housed in a bore body penetration.
- the piercing ammunition can thus comprise an insert single axis with a forward tip extending the body penetration.
- This ammunition may then include a charge of propellant powder for ejecting the insert out of the body penetration.
- the ammunition can have at least one ring of bars regularly arranged around an axis of the penetration body.
- It can thus comprise two crowns of bars regularly arranged around an axis of the body of penetration.
- the ends of the bars can be flush with an outer surface of the penetration body.
- the ends of the bars may instead be protrusion outside the penetration body.
- Each bar may have its axis inclined relative to the axis of the body of penetration.
- the ends of the bars of a crown and another crown and / or axial bar may be substantially in the same plane.
- the internal cavity may contain at least one load explosive.
- an ammunition perforant 1 according to one embodiment of the invention comprises a penetration body 2 which delimits a cavity internal 3 closed by a base 4.
- This ammunition could be an air / ground bomb or a missile or a missile military head. She will have a diameter greater than 100 mm and a length of about 1.5m.
- it may have a rear part (not shown) incorporating a thruster that will give it a range or speed given.
- the internal cavity 3 contains an explosive charge 5 which can be initiated by a rocket 6 disposed in the vicinity of the base 4.
- the rocket shall be designed to ensure the detection crossing a wall and then initiating the loading explosive once this wall crossed.
- Such rockets are well known to those skilled in the art. We can for example see US5255608 which describes such a rocket.
- Penetration body 2 has a front tip 2a which is extended by a rear cylindrical portion 2b delimiting the internal cavity 3.
- This body is made of high material mechanical characteristics, ie a material whose elastic limit is greater than or equal to 1200 Mega Pascals.
- 35NCD16 steel may be used.
- the front tip 2a comprises inserts 7 made of a denser material than the one 2.
- These inserts are made of a dense material to high mechanical characteristics.
- the inserts 7 are here shaped into segments arranged radially around an axial axial extension 8 of the body 2.
- each segment is in contact with the body 2, on the one hand at the axial extension 8 and on the other share with a shoulder 9 of the body 2. Free space surrounding the axial extension 8 thus constitutes a dwelling for the inserts.
- Each insert 7 is also in contact with two other neighboring inserts.
- the set of inserts thus forms the ogee-shaped part of the front tip 2a of the penetration body 2.
- the inserts 7 are made integral with the body by a connecting means which comprises at least one ring 10 surrounding the inserts 7. This ring will be made of steel. She is will lodge in a groove 11 formed by the juxtaposition notches carried by each insert.
- the ammunition 1 also has a nose 12 which is it also made of a dense alloy. This nose is set at a end 14 of smaller diameter carried by the extension axial 8 of the body 2.
- the nose 12 has a rear surface 13 resting on the inserts 7.
- the nose 12 is fixed on the end 14 for example by thread. It allows to transmit to different inserts 7 shock when impacting a target.
- the munition according to the invention combines an ogive of large diameter (greater than 90 mm) and capacity important perforator with a steel body function to ensure the carriage of the explosive charge and the maintaining perforating inserts.
- the inserts have reasonable dimensions (section of the order of 2000 mm 2 to 6000 mm 2 ) which allows their manufacture according to sintering techniques already implemented for artillery arrows projectiles.
- the design of the munition according to the invention it also becomes possible to improve a munition in replacing at the end of a storage phase the inserts 7 initially provided by inserts with improved mechanical characteristics.
- FIG. 2 shows a munition 1 according to another mode of embodiment of the invention.
- This mode differs from the previous one only in the structure of the front tip 2a.
- the nose 2a here comprises an axial bore 15 to inside which is positioned an insert 7 having the shape of a substantially cylindrical bar and made of a denser material than the body 2.
- the front tip 16 of this insert has an ogee shape which extends the body of penetration 2.
- This insert 7 will thus have a diameter of the order of 30 to 40 mm for a penetration body 2 of diameter 90 mm. Her manufacturing is thus facilitated.
- the implementation of a tungsten alloy with high mechanical properties allows to confer on this point a perforating character and no simple ballast. This improves the capacity of perforation of the ammunition for a given mass.
- the ammunition shown in Figure 3 also includes a single insert 7 of dense material disposed in a bore axial 15.
- This insert 7 has an internal cavity 17 inside of which is disposed a charge of propellant powder 18.
- a device 19 for igniting this charge is housed in the body 2. It is connected by a link wired 20 to the rocket 6.
- the latter will then include a chronometric module or a proximity detection module (connected to a antenna not shown integral with the body's warhead 2) which will trigger the ignition of the propellant charge 18 before the impact on a target and at a distance from it the order of 3 to 4 calibers.
- a chronometric module or a proximity detection module connected to a antenna not shown integral with the body's warhead 2 which will trigger the ignition of the propellant charge 18 before the impact on a target and at a distance from it the order of 3 to 4 calibers.
- the propellant charge 18 will ensure the ejection of the insert 7 out of the body of penetration 2. It will thus be propelled towards the target.
- the speed differential between insert 7 and the body 2 will be of the order of 200 m / s. Such a provision allows to increase the perforation capabilities of the ammunition without increasing its speed.
- the insert will ensure the drilling of a pre-hole in the target, the penetration body will then impact the target at level of this before hole.
- Figures 4a, 4b and 4c show another mode of production of a perforating munition according to the invention.
- This mode differs from the previous ones only in the structure of the piercing head 2a which here comprises several bars 7a, 7b, 7c crimped into bores arranged in the body of the tip 2a.
- Each bar 7a, 7b, 7c is cylindrical and the axis of its bore is parallel to the axis 21 of the piercing head 2a.
- the bars 7a and 7b are thus distributed in two concentric rings surrounding the axis 21 of the head perforating.
- a bar 7c also occupies a bore coaxial to the head 2a (see also Figure 4c).
- first crown or middle crown comprising eight bars 7b regularly distributed around axis 21 and a second crown or outer ring comprising sixteen bars 7a regularly distributed around axis 21.
- the diameters of the peripheral bars 7a are here lower than those of the median bars 7b.
- the diameters of different bars may be identical or different for reasons of organization of the piercing head. The goal sought is to obtain the highest overall density for the piercing head.
- the diameters of the bars can be between 10 mm and 30 mm.
- the bars are still made of a dense material, for example, a tungsten alloy obtained by sintering. Because of the reduced diameter for the bars, we can here adopt a material with mechanical characteristics such as a tungsten alloy whose elastic limit will be greater than or equal to 1500 Mega Pascals.
- the body of the heads 2a is made of steel.
- This embodiment makes it easy to obtain a front tip 2a having a high density. It is indeed more easy to make dense bars of reduced diameter (from order of 10 to 30 mm) than to achieve a peak before large diameter (greater than 150mm) in such a sintered material.
- FIGS 5a and 5b represent another mode of which differs from the preceding only in the form of bars 7.
- each bar 7a and 7b protrude outside the body of 2.
- Each bar therefore has a point 22 which extends outside the outer surface of the spike before 2a.
- the axes of the bars 7a, 7b and 7c are again all parallel to the axis 21 of the ammunition.
- Figures 6a and 6b show another way of analogous to that of Figures 5a and 5b but in which each bar 7a or 7b has its axis 23a or 23b inclined with respect to the axis 21 of the penetration body 2.
- the bars 7a of the outer ring have an axis 23a which is inclined at an angle ⁇ of the order of 20 ° to 30 °.
- the bars 7b of the middle crown have an axis 23b which is inclined by an angle ⁇ of the order of 10 ° to 15 °.
- This provision also makes it possible the attachment of the nose 2a on the target during a impact with impact.
- this embodiment makes it possible to to increase the rigging capacity without increasing the masses or diameters of bars 7.
- Figure 7a shows another embodiment similar to that of Figures 5a and 5b but in which the bars 7b of the middle crown have a length such that their tip 22 is substantially at the level of the tip 22 of the axial bar 7c (so at the same plane 24).
- Such an embodiment makes it possible to ensure simultaneous weakening of the target at the level of several point of impact. This improves the perforation.
- Figure 7b shows an embodiment similar to that of Figure 7a but in which all the bars have a length such that their tip 22 is substantially at the point 22 of the axial bar 7c (therefore at the level from the same plane 24).
- the explosive charge 5 by a different kind of loading, for example a incendiary charge or one or more submunitions explosive and / or incendiary ejected after perforation of target.
