Benefits of technology

[0011]Regarding the present invention: it is based on the consideration that, in conventional explosive projectiles, a considerable part of the pyrotechnic components cannot make any contribution worth mentioning to fragment acceleration. Detonation of the explosive provides that it is dissociated and the fragmentat

Embodiment Construction

[0071]FIG. 1A shows the basic structure of a spin-stabilised explosive layer-fragment projectile 1A with a fragment casing / fragment jacket / fragmentation projectile jacket 2, an explosive layer / explosive covering / explosive surface / pyrotechnic layer 3 disposed under the casing, and a damming or stemming internal body 4. Integrated detonation firing elements with actuating means or electronic firing means for the explosive layer are indicated. Actuation and triggering of the explosive layer is to be adapted to the respective state of the art. The effectiveness of the arrangement remains substantially unaffected thereby.

[0072]The operating principle according to the invention equally allows application to aerodynamic stabilised projectiles as diagrammatically shown in FIG. 1B. This Figure also shows the basic structure of the explosive layer-fragment projectile 1B with fragment casing 2, explosive layer 3 and damming internal body 4, as well as firing elements or other projectile or war...

Abstract

The aim of the invention is to obtain great final ballistic effectiveness of fragmentation bullets and warheads regardless of the impact speed while using as little explosive material as possible. Said aim is achieved by combining explosive shell (3) with a damming inner member (4) in connection with an accelerated outer jacket (2). This arrangement results in the best possible conversion of the explosive energy while offering great creative flexibility regarding the design. A wide range of additional possible effects is created by blast-compacting the inner damming member (4). Furthermore, the shape of the inner damming member allows the fragments to obtain a directionally controlled effect. Depending on the caliber and technical design, the amount of explosive material used can be reduced by 50 to 80 percent compared to conventional explosive bullets at comparable fragment speeds or sub-bullet speeds. The explosive material economized is available as additional effective mass. The accelerated jacket (2) can also be entirely or partly composed of preformed fragments or sub-bullets.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention concerns a fragments-forming or subprojectiles-forming projectile or warhead.[0003]2. Technical Background[0004]Explosive projectiles are used in order to achieve final-ballistic effects in regard to extensive easy targets independently of the impact velocity of a projectile or warhead, by means of explosive-accelerated fragments, with a great initial velocity. Explosive projectiles of that kind are characterised in that the volume thereof is for the major part occupied by explosive. By virtue of their structure explosive projectiles or explosive-filled warheads contain a comparatively large mass of explosive which is not effective for a considerable part thereof or which cannot have any effect at all in part for physical reasons. Structural design freedom is thus severely limited in the case of the munitions known hitherto and is concentrated on the design configuration of the fragmentation casing...
