摘要:
A projectile, (Cruise Munition Detonator Projectile or CMDP), can be fired from a tank, modified grenade launcher or gun using a laser range finder, radar or manual input (dialer or keypad) range selector. The CMDP will prevent, neutralize and eliminate enemy close infighting. The CMDP can defend aircraft against SAM, shoulder launched missiles, and air-to-air missiles. The CMDP will travel a predetermined programmed distance and detonate in front of or behind, over or beside, or in the mist of a target. The CMDP allows small forces to strategically neutralize larger forces with devastating effect. The CMDP is a force multiplier and an anti-personnel weapon.

Microcontroller apparatuses and methods of use are disclosed. An explosive projectile system contains a faze and a remote fuze setter. The fuze includes a microcontroller comprising an RC-based clock generator and is configured to sample an accurate timing event sent from a crystal-based or similarly accurate timing device. The microcontroller is then calibrated with the received timing event and results are employed in a manner appropriate for desired implementation. Implementations of the microcontroller may include sampling a detonation delay value, in the form of a time pulse, and calibrating the microcontroller to issue a fire command at delay time after an impact event. Additionally, in a setter calibration application, a microcontroller may receive a carrier signal, calibrate the faze to an accurate time base and then set frequency boundary limits for subsequent data bit transfers.

A detonation timing apparatus and method of determining a detonation time is disclosed. The detonation timing apparatus comprises an initiation sensor, at least one impact sensor, and at least one controller. The at least one controller may be configured for sensing an initiation event associated with the initiation sensor and sensing an impact event associated with the at least one impact sensor. The at least one controller is further configured for determining an impact velocity estimate proportional to a temporal difference between the initiation event and the impact event, using the impact velocity estimate to determine the detonation delay, and generating the detonation event at the detonation delay after the impact event. The timing apparatus and method of determining a detonation time may be incorporated in a fuze, which may be incorporated in an explosive projectile.
摘要:
A synchronous or synergeticly timed fuse is installed into ordance (bombs, artillery shells, depth charges etc.), the ordance is delivered to a target area and a simultaneous (synchronous), or a synergetic (not neccessarily synchronous yet the energies add together to be greater than their individual parts), explosion event occurs. This explosion event can be enhanced by the shape the ordnance is configured in (a shaped charge on the order of meters or kilometers).

A method for correcting a pre-programmed time of disaggregation of a spin-stabilized projectile. For this purpose the deviation of the actual muzzle velocity from the theoretical muzzle velocity is taken into consideration. The actual muzzle velocity is determined with the aid of the effects of a magnetic field on the projectile indirectly by means of the actual rotation frequency of the projectile, wherein the actual rotation frequency of the projectile is determined during a time-limited calibration phase directly following the firing of the projectile. The device for executing this method includes means for storing the time of initiation, programmed on the basis of the theoretical rotation frequency of the projectile, means for determining the actual rotation frequency of the projectile, and means for correcting, or respectively updating of the theoretical time of initiation toward the actual time of initiation on the basis of the actual rotation frequency, or respectively muzzle velocity of the projectile. The employment of the device is intended to increase the effectiveness of a weapons system for attacking targets by means of fuse-time-fixed projectiles.
摘要:
An accurate, yet ultra low power fuse electronics is presented in which two methods are used to reduce power consumption in the fuze electronics. First, the fuze uses low power 3.3 volt logic chips ("LV" series or equivalent CMOS logic chips) along with switches that have low input capacitance and low quiescent current. Second, a circuit design is used which, while still accomplishing the objects of the invention, drastically reduces the number of electronic elements required. When a projectile is fired from a weapon, a fire control system transmits a signal to a data conditioner located on the projectile. The data conditioner demodulates and filters the signal, producing a burst time data word which is transmitted to a microcontroller. The data conditioner is comprised of passive components, therefore no supply power is required. The microcontroller decodes the data word and also uses the data word to correct any error in the high and low speed fuze oscillators. The microcontroller then converts the data word to a count down. At the end of count clown, the microcontroller transmits a signal to the detonator, thereby exploding the projectile. Power is supplied to the fuze electronics by a power conditioner's function which takes energy input from a fast rise piezoid and apportions it to the fuze electronics. The detonator utilizes a low power MOSFET or SCR switch and the power conditioner uses a low power CMOS DC/DC converter.
摘要:
A programmable fuse for a projectile is supplied with voltage during the programming phase by rectifying the inductively transmitted program information. The program information is laid down via a microprocessor (U3) within a non-volatile memory (U4). With the created supply voltage a capacitor C1 is charged. This capacitor is discharged by means of a resistor (R3) and a gate (U2A) into an input (PAO) of the microprocessor (U3). The program information of the non-volatile memory (U4) only can be read only in the event where at launching of the fuse and at activating of a battery (U.sub.B), the predetermined input (PAO) of the microprocessor (U3) shows a predetermined potential ("0").
摘要:
An electronic time fuse for controlling and initiating the explosion of an explosive is provided. The fuse comprises a timing circuit, an energy storage means, and a explosion initiation means. The fuse is initially connected through a two-wire interface to a local control unit (LCU). The LCU tests the integrity of the fuse, charges the energy storage means, measures the clock accuracy of the fuse, compensates for any inaccuracy of the fuse clock, loads timing information into the fuse, and commands the fuse to begin a timing sequence toward explosion. The fuse responds to LCU commands. The fuse ignores signals present on the two-wire interface for a period of time after the command to begin the timing sequence toward explosion is given. The fuse also monitors the status of the two-wire interface and the signals present on it and resets the fuse to an inert state if any irregularities are detected.
