摘要:
A tandem warhead for destroying a target, the tandem warhead including a kinetic energy rod section with a plurality of lengthy individual projectiles, a blast fragmentation section deployable proximate the target, and a guidance subsystem for deploying the projectiles of the kinetic energy rod section first in the trajectory path of the target and for deploying the blast fragmentation section second proximate the target.
摘要:
A method for producing a large-caliber, high-explosive projectile (1, 1′), and a projectile formed according the method, having a projectile casing (2, 2′) that surrounds a chamber (6, 6′) filled with an explosive charge (9, 9′), and that has a mouth (5, 5′) at its tip that can be sealed, and through which the explosive charge (9, 9′) is inserted into the chamber (6, 6′) of the high-explosive projectile (1, 1′). The explosive charge (9, 9′) is disposed in a plastic casing (8), comprised of an elastic material, inside the chamber of the high-explosive projectile (1, 1′). Additional tensioning means (11, 11′, 17, 17′) are provided to compensate for the varying volume of the explosive charge (9, 9′) relative to the projectile casing (2, 2′) if the temperature fluctuates dramatically and maintain the explosive charge (9, 9′) under a pre-stress, particularly when using a plastic bound explosive charge (9, 9′).

The land mine neutralizing system has a launcher that launches a disk munon, and a means for determining the location of a mine threat. The disk munition is launched in stabilized flight on a predetermined azimuth. A fuze in the disk munition is armed relative to the velocity of the disk munition leaving the launcher, and the disk munition is detonated at a predetermined time that places the disk munition over a mine. A method for neutralizing mines uses the land mine neutralizing system to neutralize a buried mine.

The present invention is a process and material for forming warhead casin The material itself consists of tightly wound carbon fiber bonded by a low temperature (room temperature) resin. This process of formation gives several advantages, including the ease of manufacturing and the elimination of the need to do inside threading as the interior of the casing can be totally formed during winding of the carbon thread. This also increases the speed of the formation process. The use of carbon thread and low temperature resins also gives several key advantages. First, the low temperature aspect of the resin allows the resulting casing to break down at temperatures significantly less than the ignition point of the munitions held within it. Because the fibers tend to separate as the ambient temperature increases, the casing will auto-ventilate at high temperatures. Additionally, since the casing is formed from carbon fibers, it maintains a high tensile strength while minimizing the weight of the casing.

The present invention relates to an ammunition unit in the form of a shell or the like, with at least two warheads connected via a supporting structure. In order to prevent the impact from the first activated warhead reaching the warheads situated to the rear, and to prevent an interference effect on these warheads, according to the invention a structure-dividing charge is arranged in the supporting structure in order to divide the structure into two separate parts.

A fuse-less ballistic explosive projectile (1) with a great fragmentation effect has a secondary explosive (50) with a special structure (75), the secondary explosive detonating upon impact. The secondary explosive (50) surrounds within a projectile cap (24) a conical projection (30) of a penetration core (18). Transmission of the firing effect from the secondary explosive (50) is effected through a central through bore (40) of the penetration core (18) to a large-volume bursting charge (60) arranged in a projectile body (10).
摘要:
A copper jacketed explosive bullet for penetrating light armor, the bullet having a tubular hard heavy metal body filled with explosive and having an igniting mixture within the jacket forward of the explosive and a lightweight pyrophoric metal base plug for added burn time for increased fire starting ability.
摘要:
A missile carries a plurality of independent explosive heads which when fired direct fragments only in a forward direction. The missile releases all heads either in response to a timed delay from drop or launch or in response to movement of the missile to a predetermined position relative to the target. Upon release the explosive heads are rotated to swing each head away from the other heads while retaining orientation of each head so that firing of the dispersed heads will cause fragments to discharge forwardly toward the target without undue interference with the fragments from other heads.
摘要:
A WARHEAD IN WHICH THE EXPLOSIVE INGREDIENTS ARE STORED SEPARATELY IN PARTITIONED SPACES TO RENDER EACH INGREDIENT BY ITSELF INERT TO SHOCK. THE EXPLOSION IS EFFECTED BY REMOVING THE PARTITION IN RESPONSE TO THE PROPULSION FORCES IMPARTED UPON THE WEAPON AND MIXING THE INGREDIENTS AND IGNITING THE MIXTURE.
