Description
L'invention concerne un procédé d'éjection de sous-munitions à partir d'un projectile dont la vitesse propre de roulis est nulle ou faible. Elle concerne également un projectile équipé de moyens permettant la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé.The invention relates to a method of ejecting submunitions from a projectile whose natural roll speed is zero or low. It also relates to a projectile equipped with means allowing the implementation of this process.
Par projectile, on entend tout véhicule lancé par canon, par autopropulsion, par aéronef, etc, et suivant une trajectoire balistique ou corrigée. L'invention concerne plus précisément les projectiles comportant de sous-projectiles éjectés à un instant donné sur la trajectoire du projectile porteur.By projectile is meant any vehicle launched by cannon, by self-propulsion, by aircraft, etc., and following a ballistic or corrected trajectory. The invention relates more precisely to projectiles comprising sub-projectiles ejected at a given time on the trajectory of the carrier projectile.
On recherche généralement dans les projectiles à sous-munitions l'étalement latéral et axial de leur contenu, de façon à obtenir une dispersion optimale sans avoir recours au tir de nombreux projectiles, dits "cargo", dont le coût unitaire est souvent très élevé. Ce problème est relativement facilement résolu lorsque le projectile est animé d'une vitesse de roulis suffisante. On peut alors profiter de cette rotation pour donner aux sous-munitions une vitesse d'éloignement perpendiculaire à la trajectoire qui entraîne une dispersion latérale des impacts.We generally search in cluster munitions for lateral and axial spreading of their content, so as to obtain optimal dispersion without having to fire many projectiles, called "cargo", whose unit cost is often very high. This problem is relatively easily solved when the projectile has a sufficient roll speed. We can then take advantage of this rotation to give the submunitions a moving speed perpendicular to the trajectory which results in lateral dispersion of the impacts.
En revanche, lorsque le porteur ne peut être animé d'une vitesse propre de roulis suffisante, par exemple pour des problèmes de détection ou de pilotage, on doit le plus souvent faire appel à des systèmes tels que des sacs gonflables, des pistons, des moyens pyrotechniques, des ressorts, etc.On the other hand, when the carrier cannot be driven with a sufficient own roll speed, for example for detection or piloting problems, it is most often necessary to use systems such as airbags, pistons, pyrotechnic means, springs, etc.
Une autre solution consiste à générer un roulis dans la phase terminale de la trajectoire peu avant la séquence d'éjection. De nombreux moyens sont possibles tels que braquage, etc. Tous ces procédés ont le défaut d'être spécifiques de l'effet recherché et donc d'entraîner un encombrement supplémentaire, de la masse et un coût non négligeable.Another solution is to generate a roll in the terminal phase of the trajectory shortly before the ejection sequence. Many means are possible such as turning, etc. All of these methods have the drawback of being specific to the desired effect and therefore of causing additional bulk, mass and a non-negligible cost.
La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients et concerne un nouveau procédé d'éjection de sous-munitions à partir d'un projectile dont la vitesse propre de roulis est pratiquement nulle, procédé qui a pour avantage de faire partie de la séquence même d'ouverture du véhicule sans qu'il soit nécessaire de recourir à des moyens supplémentaires lourds, encombrants et coûteux.The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks and relates to a new method of ejecting submunitions from a projectile whose natural roll speed is practically zero, which method has the advantage of being part of the same sequence opening the vehicle without the need for additional heavy, bulky and expensive means.
L'invention concerne plus précisément un procédé d'éjection de sous-munitions à partir du projectile qui les porte, ce projectile :
- comportant, d'une part, une enveloppe se terminant par une ogive formant une partie avant, cette partie avant étant verrouillée par des moyens de verrouillage à une partie arrière dite "culot" ;
- comportant, d'autre part, une tige se déplaçant à l'intérieur d'un tube pour servir de piston sous l'action d'une charge pyrotechnique en vue de séparer la partie arrière de la partie avant ;
procédé caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste, après déverrouillage des moyens de verrouillage et mise à feu de la charge pyrotechnique, à faire tourner la partie avant du projectile par rapport à la partie arrière de ce dernier, les sous-munitions étant solidaires de la partie arrière par des moyens de maintien, grâce à la combinaison de rayures réalisées sur l'une des parties du projectile coopérant avec une ceinture de forcement comportant elle-même des rayures et solidaire de l'autre partie, pour donner à chacune des sous-munitions une vitesse transversale initiale (v) permettant d'obtenir une dispersion optimale des sous-munitions.The invention relates more precisely to a method of ejecting submunitions from the projectile which carries them, this projectile:
- comprising, on the one hand, an envelope ending in a warhead forming a front part, this front part being locked by means of locking to a rear part called "base";
- comprising, on the other hand, a rod moving inside a tube to serve as a piston under the action of a pyrotechnic charge in order to separate the rear part from the front part;
process characterized in that, after unlocking the locking means and igniting the pyrotechnic charge, rotating the front part of the projectile relative to the rear part of the latter, the submunitions being integral with the rear part by holding means, thanks to the combination of stripes produced on one of the parts of the projectile cooperating with a forcing belt itself comprising stripes and integral with the other part, to give each of the ammunition an initial transverse speed (v) allowing optimal dispersion of the submunitions to be obtained.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide des explications qui vont suivre et des figures jointes parmi lesquelles :

Pour plus de clarté, les mêmes éléments portent les mêmes références dans toutes les figures.For the sake of clarity, the same elements are given the same references in all the figures.
Comme le montre la figure 1, complétée par la figure 2 qui représente le projectile de la figure 1 dans une configuration correspondant à l'éjection des sous-munitions, ce projectile (1) conforme à l'invention comporte une enveloppe (2) généralement cylindrique se terminant par une ogive (3).As shown in FIG. 1, supplemented by FIG. 2 which represents the projectile of FIG. 1 in a configuration corresponding to the ejection of the submunitions, this projectile (1) according to the invention comprises an envelope (2) generally cylindrical ending in a warhead (3).
Cette dernière est elle-même solidaire d'une tige axiale (4) destinée, comme cela sera expliqué plus loin, à jouer une fonction de piston. La tige (4) pénètre dans un tube (5) solidaire de la partie arrière (culot 13) du projectile (1), en laissant à l'extrémité un espace libre (chambre 6) occupé par un chargement pyrotechnique (non représenté sur la figure ).The latter is itself integral with an axial rod (4) intended, as will be explained below, to play a piston function. The rod (4) enters a tube (5) integral with the rear part (base 13) of the projectile (1), leaving at the end a free space (chamber 6) occupied by a pyrotechnic charge (not shown in the figure).
Selon une caractéristique importante de l'invention, le tube (5) est rayé et la tige (4) reçoit une ceinture de forcement ou des adents usinés. La combinaison (100) "rayures du tube + ceinture de forcement ou adents" est symbolisée par un trait renforcé sur la figure, et ceci dans un but de clarté. Cette combinaison, conformément à l'invention, induit un mouvement de rotation. Elle permet la mise en oeuvre du procédé d'éjection des sous-munitions (20) contenues dans le projectile (1).According to an important characteristic of the invention, the tube (5) is scratched and the rod (4) receives a forcing belt or machined teeth. The combination (100) "stripes of the tube + forcing belt or teeth" is symbolized by a reinforced line in the figure, and this for the purpose of clarity. This combination, according to the invention, induces a rotational movement. It allows the implementation of the method of ejecting the submunitions (20) contained in the projectile (1).
En effet, au moment où les sous-munitions (20) doivent être libérées, on initie la mise à feu de la charge pyrotechnique en ayant pris soin d'effectuer le déverrouillage préalable ou simultané des moyens (12) de solidarisation au culot (13)In fact, when the submunitions (20) must be released, the pyrotechnic charge is started by taking care to carry out the prior or simultaneous unlocking of the means (12) for securing to the base (13 )
La tige (4) joue sa fonction de piston et, comme le montre la figure 2, éjecte l'ogive (3), cette éjection se réalisant avec un mouvement de rotation selon un sens donné (flèche f1) pour l'avant du projectile et un sens opposé (flèche f2) pour la partie arrière.The rod (4) plays its piston function and, as shown in FIG. 2, ejects the warhead (3), this ejection taking place with a rotational movement in a given direction (arrow f1) for the front of the projectile and an opposite direction (arrow f2) for the rear part.
Le pas des rayures est choisi de façon à obtenir une vitesse de roulis de la partie arrière qui se traduit par une vitesse d'éjection transversale optimale (v) des sous-munitions (20) dépendant de leur distance initiale à l'axe (xx') du projectile (1).The pitch of the scratches is chosen so as to obtain a roll speed of the rear part which results in an optimal transverse ejection speed (v) of the submunitions (20) depending on their initial distance to the axis (xx ') of the projectile (1).
Comme le montre la figure 3 qui représente une coupe transversale AA′ du projectile de la figure 1, ce projectile comporte l'enveloppe (2) solidaire de la tige axiale (4) qui pénètre dans le tube rayé (5) grâce à la combinaison 100 comme décrit précédemment. Sur ce tube (5), sont fixés, par exemple, des éléments (14), par exemple, métalliques, pour établir des compartiments (16) à l'intérieur desquels les sous-munitions (20) sont positionnées. L'ensemble des sous-munitions (20) est maintenu dans chaque compartiment par des moyens de maintien, par exemple, une ceinture (15) commandée, par exemple, par un système explosif non représenté, qui assurent une solidarisation de l'ensemble des sous-munitions au tube (5) ; ces moyens de maintien sont généralement déverrouillés lorsque l'ensemble sous-munitions (20) et tube (5) a atteint une vitesse maximale qui constitue la vitesse initiale des sous-munitions (20) après éjection de l'ogive (3) mais ils peuvent être déverrouillés de manière différée et pour chaque compartiment.As shown in FIG. 3 which represents a cross section AA ′ of the projectile of FIG. 1, this projectile comprises the casing (2) integral with the axial rod (4) which penetrates into the striped tube (5) thanks to the
Comme le montre la figure 4 qui illustre une variante de réalisation de l'invention, une architecture inverse est réalisée. La tige (4) faisant fonction de piston est cette fois rendue solidaire du culot (13). Le tube (5) et la chambre (6) sont alors rendus solidaires de l'ogive (3).As shown in FIG. 4 which illustrates an alternative embodiment of the invention, a reverse architecture is produced. The rod (4) acting as a piston is this time made integral with the base (13). The tube (5) and the chamber (6) are then made integral with the warhead (3).
Dans ces deux variantes, c'est le tube (4) qui est rayé mais une solution consiste à rayer extérieurement le piston. Dans ce cas, les adents ou la ceinture de forcement sont alors situés à la partie interne de la bouche du canon.In these two variants, it is the tube (4) which is scratched but one solution consists in scratching the piston externally. In this case, the teeth or the forcing belt are then located at the internal part of the muzzle of the barrel.
Dans la variante où le tube (5) est solidaire de l'arrière et le piston (4) solidaire de l'avant, les sous-munitions (20) sont liées au tube (5) (figure 1).In the variant where the tube (5) is secured to the rear and the piston (4) is secured to the front, the submunitions (20) are linked to the tube (5) (Figure 1).
Dans la variante où le piston (4) est à l'arrière et le tube (5) à l'avant, les sous-munitions (20) sont reliées à la partie arrière, c'est-à-dire au culot (13) par tout moyen connu (30);In the variant where the piston (4) is at the rear and the tube (5) at the front, the submunitions (20) are connected to the rear part, that is to say to the base (13 ) by any known means (30);
Quelle que soit la variante choisie, on obtient donc au moment de la libération des sous-munitions une vitesse de roulis qui imprime aux sous-munitions une vitesse d'éjection transversale.Whichever variant is chosen, a roll speed is thus obtained when the submunitions are released, which gives the submunitions a transverse ejection speed.
Un exemple des vitesses de roulis atteintes est donnée ci-dessous.
Cette dernière vitesse est à ajouter à la vitesse de roulis initiale du véhicule, dans le cas où elle existe. Si cette vitesse est de 10 tours/s et que les sous-munitions sont disposées entre 54 mm et 120 mm de l'axe (xx′) du projectile, les vitesses d'éjection perpendiculaires à cet axe sont comprises entre 9 et 20 ms⁻¹.This last speed is to be added to the initial roll speed of the vehicle, if it exists. If this speed is 10 revolutions / s and the submunitions are placed between 54 mm and 120 mm from the axis (xx ′) of the projectile, the ejection speeds perpendicular to this axis are between 9 and 20 ms ⁻¹.
La libération des sous-munitions peut être immédiate, c'est-à-dire dès que l'enveloppe découvre la tranche concernée. Elle peut être aussi différée, les sous-munitions étant retenues par exemple par un collier déverrouillé au moment optimal après éloignement de l'enveloppe.The release of the submunitions can be immediate, that is to say as soon as the envelope discovers the section concerned. It can also be deferred, submunitions being retained for example by a collar unlocked at the optimal time after moving away from the envelope.
