Description

[0001] Technical field

[0002] The utility model relates to the field of military equipment, namely to a unit for installing explosive devices and initiation means in cumulative warheads of close-combat weapons used to equip strike unmanned aerial vehicles such as FPV drones.

[0003] Currently, industrially produced weapons in the form of warheads of various functional purposes and weights, specifically designed for use from attack unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including FPV drones, are widely used. These include, for example, small-caliber warheads such as the KOFZBCh-3, KOFZBCh-ZF, KOFZBCh-5, KOTBCh-5, KZBCh-5, and others with a primary cumulative effect.

[0004] However, due to the high consumption of ammunition to carry out the combat mission, it was previously necessary to use cumulative warheads (WH) of grenade launchers of close combat weapons (CBR), adapted for equipping UAVs in a makeshift manner.

[0005] The standard cumulative warhead of the SBB, for example, for the 7P27 grenade, consists of a cumulative charge with a copper lining and a screen, a fairing with a piezo generator, a conductive cone and an insulating ring inside the fairing, as well as a safety-actuating mechanism (SAM) behind the screen in its bottom part.

[0006] To use this warhead as a combat load for a UAV, the design requires modification, namely: removal of the piezoelectric generator, conductive cone and insulating ring inside the fairing and the standard PIM in the bottom of the munition.

[0007] The technical objective of the proposed utility model is to expand the use of standard warheads of the SBB, in particular in FPV-type attack UAVs equipped with various types of explosive devices and initiation means for its detonation.

[0008] This technical task is achieved in that the cumulative warhead, containing a housing, a fairing, a cumulative charge in which a copper lining and a screen are placed, and a detonating device, in the bottom part of the housing there is a universal unit for installing the detonating device and the initiation means, consisting of a charge, a sleeve with a connecting thread and a transport sleeve with a screw, wherein the transport sleeve or screw is removed before installing the detonating device or initiation means.

[0009] A distinctive feature of the proposed design is that the piezo generator (replaced with a process cap), insulating ring, and conductive cone located inside the fairing are eliminated from the standard grenade warhead during production. This simplifies the warhead design and reduces the labor intensity of its manufacture.

[0010] Replacing the standard PIM socket with a universal installation unit for the warhead detonation initiating means, which includes an explosive charge, a threaded sleeve for the detonating device, and a transport sleeve with a screw, allows for varying the type of detonating device or initiating means used. The standard PIM requires replacement, as it is armed only by the axial overload caused by firing the grenade launcher and is triggered by a piezoelectric generator upon impact with an obstacle.

[0011] When using detonating devices of the UZ, UZ-2, VM-KP type or other with a similar connecting thread, before hanging the ammunition on the UAV, the transport sleeve with the screw is removed from the universal installation unit, and a specific type of detonating device is installed in accordance with the operating instructions.

[0012] When using initiation means - electric detonators of the ED-8, ​​ED-1-8, ED-3-IP (IM) type or similar, the screw is removed from the universal installation unit (the transport sleeve remains in place) and a specific type of electric detonator is installed in accordance with the operating instructions.

[0013] This ensures the universality of use of various types of fuses and initiation means, depending on the Customer’s requirements for delivery to the troops in a specific configuration.

[0014] Disclosure of the essence of the utility model

[0015] The essence of the utility model is explained by graphic material, where Fig. 1 shows a cumulative warhead with a universal unit for installing explosive devices or initiation means for its detonation during industrial production.

[0016] Brief description of the drawing

[0017] The cumulative warhead 1 for equipping attack UAVs such as FPV drones consists of a body 2, a fairing 6 and a cumulative charge 3 with a copper lining 4 and a screen 5. In the bottom part of the body there is a universal unit for installing explosive devices and initiation means, consisting of a charge 7, a sleeve 8 with a connecting thread, a transport sleeve 9 with a screw 11. Between the sleeve 8 with a connecting thread and the transport sleeve 9, a gasket 10 made of paronite is installed, and the screw 11 is sealed with a rubber ring 12.

[0018] Implementation of a utility model

[0019] Preparation of the cumulative warhead for use in a UAV is carried out as follows. The package containing the warhead and the detonator or electric detonator (depending on the delivery set) is delivered to the technical position or site designated for preparation for combat use, observing ammunition transportation regulations. Transport sleeve 9 with screw 11 is removed from the universal housing unit, and paronite gasket 10 is removed. The detonator from the delivery set is then screwed into the threaded opening of sleeve 8.

[0020] If the delivery kit includes an electric detonator-type initiator (ED-8 or ED-1-8, or ED-3-IP (IM), or similar), then only screw 11 with rubber ring 12 is removed from the universal assembly. The specific type of electric detonator from the delivery kit is then installed in the hole left by screw 11. To prevent the electric detonator from falling out of the hole and to ensure the functionality of the munition during combat use, it is mounted on plasticine or plastid (a plastic explosive), or secured in the hole by other means, such as with adhesive tape.

[0021] After the ammunition contacts the obstacle, the detonating device, the charge, and the cumulative charge are activated in sequence, which hits the target with a cumulative effect.

[0022] When using an electric detonator, it is triggered by a command from the UAV. The subsequent operation of the munition is no different from that of a munition with a detonating device.

[0023] The specified universal installation unit is incorporated into the design of the warheads of close combat weapons: PG-26, PG-7L, PG-7R (without pre-charge), TBG-7, etc. The warheads of PG-26, PG-7R, MRO-A are mass-produced and supplied to the troops.
