Drop grenade for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)

Abstract

Drop grenade for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), characterized in that the drop grenade has wings (5) which are arranged offset at an angle (6) to the central axis of the grenade.

Description

State of the art

[0001] There are currently no grenades specifically designed for UAVs, which have previously been flown recreationally. Until now, grenades from mortars, hand grenades, or similar devices have been attached to the UAVs and dropped upon reaching their target. These simple grenades lack any special control or stabilization elements. The accuracy of the drop depends heavily on wind conditions and flight path. Title of the invention: Drop grenade for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)Name of the invention: UAV precision grenadeTechnical field:

[0002] The present invention relates to a drop grenade that can be dropped from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), in particular a grenade with an integrated firing mechanism and aerodynamic fins to improve targeting accuracy. Object of the invention:

[0003] The goal is to provide a drop grenade with improved stabilization during the fall, resulting in greater accuracy. Furthermore, existing blank cartridges (4) are to detonate the explosive (8). This is to be achieved using a simple detonation mechanism. Description of the invention:Ignition mechanism:

[0004] The ignition is triggered by means of existing blank cartridges (4).

[0005] The firing mechanism is a simple firing pin (12) that, upon impact with the target, strikes the primer of the blank cartridge (4). This, in turn, ignites the explosive (8). Wing arrangement:

[0006] The grenade is equipped with vanes (5) arranged offset from the central axis. These vanes (5) are designed to rotate around their own axis during the fall when released by the wind. This rotation increases aerodynamic stability and ensures a more consistent trajectory. Stabilization through rotation:

[0007] The offset wings (5) create a rotational motion during descent, resulting in improved targeting accuracy. The rotation acts like a gyroscope and minimizes lateral deviations during landing. Advantages of the invention:

[0008] The combination of a firing mechanism that can be activated with existing blank cartridges (4) and the aerodynamically designed and attached wings (5) enables a cost-effective, reliable and precise weapon unit for UAVs.
