4 results about "Lethality" patented technology

A projectile including a reactive composition is disclosed. The reactive composition includes at least one fuel comprising a titanium-boron composite, at least one oxidizer, and at least one metal hydride. When the projectile penetrates through a surface of a target having a volume of 0.2 m3, the reactive composition is configured to cause, behind the surface of the target, at least one of an overpressure of greater than 36 pounds per square inch (psi) or an incendiary effect duration of greater than 70 milliseconds. The reactive composition may be configured to partially or entirely surround a pin or penetrator. The projectile may lack a pin or penetrator, and the reactive composition is contained within a metal tube or cup configured to travel toward, within, and / or behind a surface of the target, wherein the process produces a punch out from the target, thereby acting as a second projectile, which enhances lethality.

The invention relates to the technical field of weapons, in particular to a method for improving the lethality of ammunition, which comprises the following steps: transplanting a small-caliber electronic time fuse into an idle space at the head of the ammunition, additionally arranging an extra explosive in an unoccupied space at the tail of the ammunition, and improving an information receiving circuit of the small-caliber electronic time fuse. The small-caliber electronic time fuze is additionally arranged, and the chopping processing circuit is additionally arranged, so that completeness and correctness of detonation time and action modes received by the small-caliber electronic time fuze can be ensured, ammunition is normally controlled, abnormal conditions such as advanced detonation, delayed detonation and even incapability of detonation of the ammunition are avoided, the lethality of the ammunition can be stably improved, and the service life of the ammunition is prolonged. And the ammunition can cause greater damage to the target under the set detonation time and action mode, and the application scene of the ammunition is increased.

The invention relates to a comprehensive power evaluation method for a low-incidental-damage effect, belongs to the technical field of damage evaluation, and solves the problems that in the prior art, calculation of the damage probability of a heavy metal particle swarm of low-incidental-damage ammunition to a personnel target and research on combined damage of the low-incidental-damage ammunition are lacked. Comprising the following steps: calculating the shock wave damage probability based on the explosion distance and TNT equivalent of the low incidental damage ammunition; the specific kinetic energy of the heavy metal particle swarms is calculated based on the flying angle of the low-incidental-damage ammunition explosion driven particle swarms and the front instantaneous speed of the particle swarms, which are measured by the test; based on the specific kinetic energy of the heavy metal particle swarms, the damage probability of the heavy metal particle swarms is calculated; based on the shock wave damage probability and the heavy metal particle swarm damage probability, a damage effect comprehensive power evaluation result is obtained through calculation. The calculation of the damage probability of the heavy metal particle swarms of the low-incidental-damage ammunition to the personnel target and the comprehensive power evaluation of the multi-damage-element coupling damage effect of the low-incidental-damage ammunition are realized.
