Description

Die Neuerung betrifft einen Gefechtskopf nach dem Oberbegriff des Schutzanspruchs 1.The innovation concerns a warhead according to the preamble of protection claim 1.

Ein derartiger Gefechtskopf ist aus der DE-OS 22 42 930 bekannt. Ein solcher Gefechtskopf umfaßt ein Gefechtskopfgehäuse zur Aufnahme einer Hohlladung sowie einen mit dem Gefechtskopfgehäuse verbundenen Zünder. Der Gefechtskopf wird in einer größeren Anzahl von einem Flugkörper oder Geschoß über ein Zielgebiet transportiert und dort ausgestoßen, um gebremst oder ungebremst auf das Zielgebiet hinabzusinken. Es ist bekannt, daß Hohlladungen ihre größte Wirkung dann entfalten, wenn sie in einem bestimmten Minimalabstand von der Zieloberfläche aktiviert werden. Zur Einhaltung dieses Minimalabstands ist bei dem bekannten Gefechtskopf ein teleskopartig, durch Federkraft ausgahrbares Zündabstandsrohr vorgesehen, das den Gefechtskopf coaxial umgibt.Such a warhead is known from DE-OS 22 42 930. Such a warhead comprises a warhead housing for receiving a shaped charge and an igniter connected to the warhead housing. The warhead is transported in large numbers by a missile or projectile over a target area and is ejected there in order to sink, braked or unbraked, onto the target area. It is known that shaped charges have their greatest effect when they are activated at a certain minimum distance from the target surface. To maintain this minimum distance, a telescopic ignition spring tube, which can be extended by spring force, is provided in the known warhead and coaxially surrounds the warhead.

Der Neuerung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, vereinfachte, alternative Mittel zur Herstellung eines geeigneten minmalen Zündabstands anzugeben.The innovation is based on the task of specifying simplified, alternative means for producing a suitable minimum ignition distance.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die in Schutzanspruch 1 angegebene Neuerung gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Neuerung gehen aus den Unteransprüchen hervor.This object is achieved by the innovation specified in protection claim 1. Advantageous refinements of the innovation emerge from the subclaims.

Die Neuerung wird nachfolgend, unter Bezug auf die Zeichnung, näher erläutert. Die einzige Figur zeigt, teilweise im Längsschnitt, einen Gefechtskopf 10, der ein Gefechtkopfgehäuse 11 und einen mit diesem verbundenen Zünder 12 aufweist. Im Gefechtskopfgehäuse 11 ist die Hohlladung 14 mit ihrer Einlage 15 angeordnet. Zur Herstellung eines minimalen Zündabstands beim Auftreffen des Gefechtskopfes 10 auf eine Zieloberfläche sind ausschwenkbar angeordnete Füße 16,16 a vorgesehen, die frontseitig um die im Gehäuse des Gefechtskopfgehäuses 11 gelagerts Achsen 17 drehbar angeordnet sind. Mit 16a sind die zum Aufprallzeitpunkt des Gefechtskopfes 10 ausgeklappten Füße bezeichnet, während Bezugsziffer 16 einen in die Hohlladung 14 eingeklappten Fuß darstellt, der dabei an die Einlage 15 der Hohlladung 14 zur Anlage kommt. Dadurch, daß sich der Fuß 16 mit seiner Kontur an die Kontur der Einlage 15 anpaßt nimmt der Fuß 16 sehr wenig Platz innerhalb der Hohlladung 14 ein, sodaß in die verbleibende Höhlung 18 beim säulenartigen Übereinanderstapeln der Gefechstköpfe 10 während des Transports der Zünder 12 eines nachfolgenden Gefechtskopfes eintauchen kann. Die Schwenkbewegung der Füße 16 wird durch nicht im Detail dargestellte Drehfedern erzielt, die auf den Achsen 17 angeordnet sind und die sich einerseits am Gefechtskopfgehäuse 11, andererseits am Fuß 16 abstützen. Die Schwenkbewegung der Füße 16 wird eingeleitet sobald, nach dem Ausstoßen der Gefechtsköpfe aus dem Flugkörper oder Lastengeschoß, der Trennvorgang stattgefunden hat und der beim säulenartigen Aufbau nachfolgende Gefechtskopf aus der Höhlung 18 des Gefechtskopfes 10 hinausgeglitten ist.The innovation is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. The single figure shows, partially in longitudinal section, a warhead 10 which has a warhead housing 11 and an igniter 12 connected to it. The shaped charge 14 with its insert 15 is arranged in the warhead housing 11. In order to produce a minimum firing distance when the warhead 10 strikes a target surface, pivotable feet 16, 16a are provided, which are rotatably arranged on the front side about the axes 17 mounted in the housing of the warhead housing 11. 16a denotes the feet unfolded at the time of impact of the warhead 10, while reference number 16 represents a foot folded into the shaped charge 14, which comes to rest against the insert 15 of the shaped charge 14. Characterized in that the foot 16 adapts with its contour to the contour of the insert 15, the foot 16 takes up very little space within the shaped charge 14, so that in the remaining cavity 18 when the warheads 10 are stacked on top of one another during the transport of the detonators 12 of a subsequent one Warhead can immerse. The pivoting movement of the feet 16 is achieved by torsion springs (not shown in detail) which are arranged on the axes 17 and which are supported on the warhead housing 11 on the one hand and on the foot 16 on the other hand. The pivoting movement of the feet 16 is initiated as soon as, after the warheads have been ejected from the missile or cargo floor, the separation process has taken place and the warhead following the columnar structure has slipped out of the cavity 18 of the warhead 10.

Um eine hinreichende Standsicherheit des Gefechtskopfes 10 bei dessen Zielaufprall und damit eine optimale Wirkungsrichtung der Hohlladung 14 zu gewährleisten, werden zweckmäßig mindestens drei Füße 16 gleichmäßig auf dem Umfang des Gefechtskopfgehäuses 11 verteilt angeordnet.In order to ensure sufficient stability of the warhead 10 when it hits the target and thus an optimal direction of action of the shaped charge 14, at least three feet 16 are expediently arranged evenly distributed over the circumference of the warhead housing 11.

Claims (4)

1. A warhead having warhead housing (11) to accommodate an explosive charge (14) with a lining (15) and a detonator (12) connected to the warhead (10), characterised by the fact that the warhead housing (11) bears legs (16, 16a) which can be pivoted outwards and which in the rest position (transport position) are retracted into a hollow part (18) of the lining (15) and which adapt themselves to the profile of the lining (15) within the explosive charge (14) and which, in the operative position (16a), are extended in such a way as to project outside the warhead housing (11).
2. A warhead in accordance with Claim 1, characterised by the fact that the legs (16, 16a) are pivotably mounted on shafts (17) situated transversely to the longitudinal axis (100) of the warhead (10).
3. A warhead in accordance with one of Claims 1 and 2, characterised by the fact that the legs (16, 16a) are subject to the action of a torsion spring which is situated on the shaft (17) one end of which bears against the wall (13) of the warhead housing (11) and the other end bears against the legs (16, 16a).
4. A warhead in accordance with one of the Claims 1 to 3 characterised by the fact that at least three legs (16, 16a) are provided which are distributed with even spacing apart around the periphery of the warhead housing.
