RU2190827C2 - Cluster warhead - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: ammunition. SUBSTANCE: cluster warhead has a body, fighting components and a propelling charge located in the body axis. A collector is positioned around the propelling charge. The fighting components are tightly placed in rows on the charge outer surface. The holes in the collector under each row of the fighting components are made with a different total area. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of the cluster warhead due to the fact that different radial velocities are imparted to the fighting components at their ejection from the body. 2 dwg

Description

 The invention relates to military equipment and can be used in cluster munitions.

 A technical solution is known according to US Pat. No. 4,231,293 of 10.26.77, according to which a system for dispersing ammunition from a compact cylindrical container made of brittle material is protected, inside of which there is an axial bearing rod and a plurality of cylindrical ammunition resting against each other parallel to the axis of the container around the bearing rod and almost completely filling the container. In the intervals between the ammunition are explosive charges around the supporting rod.

 A technical solution is known according to the application of France 2646503 of 04/27/89, according to which a device for ejecting containers along a path in the radial direction relative to the container carrier is protected, having a detonating charge with its sealing means, located along the axis of the container along the entire length of the container set, the containers being connected to sealing means by means of holding devices.

 Known technical solutions do not provide for the regulation of the radial dispersion of submunitions at different speeds, which does not allow uniform dispersion of submunitions over a given area of destruction with their optimal density to ensure maximum combat effectiveness of the cartridge carrier.

 The closest analogue in technical essence, the number of matching features and the achieved result is a technical solution according to the application of France 2646503 from 04/27/89, adopted as a prototype.

 The problem to which the present invention is directed, is to increase the combat effectiveness of the CBF by giving cluster warheads at the time of their ejection of various radial speeds.

 The required technical result is achieved by the fact that, in contrast to the known cassette carrier, a collector is installed around the propellant charge in the proposed CBF, on which combat elements are tightly stacked, and the holes in the collector, which dynamically communicate the collector cavity and the surfaces of the combat elements laid on it, are made under each row of BEs with a different total area. Distinctive features in the stable interconnection of the entire set of essential features made it possible to regulate the radial emission rates of BE from the CBF and thereby ensure their uniform dispersion on the ground.

 Analogues with signs similar to the claimed solution was not found, therefore, it can be considered that the claimed KBC is new and has a sufficient inventive step. The essence of the proposed technical solution is illustrated by the drawing, where in FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section of a CBF with a three-row stacking of BE; in FIG. 2 - transverse sections aa and bb.

 KBCH contains housing 1, BE 2, propelling charge 3, made of propelling explosives or gunpowder and located along the axis of the housing. Around the propellant charge 3, a collector 4 is placed, on the outer surface 5 of which there are BE 2. Holes 6 in the collector 4 are gasdynamically connected to the cavity 7 inside the collector and the BE surface 8. On the flight path from the fuse of the cassette carrier, the propellant 3 is undermined, and under the action of detonation products the combat elements 2 receive various radial pulses through the openings 6 of the collector 4. Holes 6, made under each row of BE 2 with a different total area, allow the BE to be emitted from the CBF with different speeds. The shell of the cassette carrier at the moment of detonation of the propellant charge 3 is removed by any of the known methods, for example, products of the propellant explosion.

 Using the proposed technical solution, due to the use of a collector in which openings are made under each row of BEs with different total area and tight packing of BEs on its outer surface, it is possible to regulate the radial velocity of BE discharge from the CBF, to ensure uniform dispersion of BEs on the ground, thereby increasing efficiency Kbch.

 Efficiency is confirmed by field tests with positive results.
