Definitions

  • the invention is concerned with the programmability of a test and practice ammunition or a test and practice cartridge and a training system that uses such a programmable practice ammunition.
  • the training and operation of a tank crew should be as realistic as possible.
  • the associated costs and damage on the shooting ranges or training areas should be as low as possible.
  • the shell comprises a centrally arranged cylindrical block with a cargo space containing a load.
  • the cylindrical block has at least one pressure relief bore extending radially from the cargo space to the outer periphery of the cylindrical block.
  • the outer periphery of the cylindrical container is from an annular container surrounded with the marking material.
  • a time fuse arranged on the ground side in the ammunition is programmed such that the charge is ignited before the projectile body hits a target.
  • the gas pressure acting on the charge ignites the container with the marking material and the shell casing.
  • the marking material is applied from the projectile body.
  • a bang and / or flash can be generated when the air detonation point is reached.
  • the invention has the task of demonstrating a practice ammunition or a practice bullet, especially in the large caliber range, with which a training and practice operation, in particular a tank crew, can be carried out as realistically as possible.
  • Claim 10 represents a training system.
  • Advantageous designs can be found in the subclaims.
  • the invention is based on the idea of creating an inexpensive practice ammunition that can send out a signal at the target, which serves to signal a crew of a weapon system how good or bad the operation of the weapon system was, ie whether the shot was good and would have been precise.
  • the practice ammunition has electronics which are integrated in the practice floor and preferably have all the detonator functions of a live combat ammunition. This has the advantage that the operation of the weapon system by a tank crew can take place in exactly the same way as with a live combat ammunition, e.g. with HE combat ammunition.
  • an impact on the practice floor at the target is detected, as with an original ignition system.
  • This can be a ground hit or a hit on a target.
  • This can be followed by the transmission of a signal to a stationary receiver or one that can be moved with the target in the target area or at the target.
  • This can be, for example, a light signal, an infrared signal, a radio signal or another suitable electronic or optical signal as well as a color signal.
  • This signal can obtain a signature or a representation of the effectiveness of the combat success for the crew.
  • the target or rifle targets on the shooting range or the training area can, for example, be completely or partially folded over as a representation of the effect.

  • the effect of a detonation can include can be realized with a suitable pyrotechnics.
  • At least one receiver and a stationary effect representation can be dispensed with to simplify the shooting setup.
  • a practice ammunition comprising at least one practice bullet with a projectile head and a drive.

  • the programmable practice ammunition itself contains only very small amounts of explosives. However, it can preferably also do without explosives.
  • This programmable training cartridge is that the projectile contains no explosives, which prevents duds. Unused pyrotechnics in the training system can be dismantled after shooting and pose no danger.
  • the programmable practice ammunition creates realistic practice with a presentation of the effects at the target or in the target area. Damage to the firing lanes and training areas are largely excluded and unexploded ordnance avoided. In addition, the costs of programmable practice ammunition are lower.
