Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device according to the preamble of claim 1 and claim 2.
- Bombardment of a weapon with a small-caliber cannon from an armored vehicle, which is practiced at airports, for example, is on the one hand very expensive in terms of equipment and, on the other hand, cannot be used against fully-armed weapons, especially under the surface of a body of water. Because on the one hand, such a cannon is not capable of targeting the invisible weapon, and the projectile fired from such a cannon would not move in a directionally stable manner if it passed from air into a denser medium such as water or sand, so that Ordnance would not be hit even if it could be targeted precisely due to the known location.
- a denser medium such as water or sand
- the invention is based on the object of specifying a method and a device of the generic type which can also be used to safely destroy, even under water, large-volume warfare agents that have been completely sanded in, without great outlay on equipment.
- the comparatively very small active mass of a slim shaped charge projectile which can be fired from a cheap front-loading cartridge, is triggered in a direct direction of action directly on the surface of the weapon after the surrounding medium - including a layer of sand - with stable ballistics due to fully cavitating projectile geometry.
- the remaining large impact energy on the weapon leads to the safe response of a cheap, simple impact detonator.
- the anyway small and due to the small active mass also not high-energy splinters, which arise when the projectile is fired, represent at most a low environmental hazard, which is also effectively dampened by the surrounding sand mass. Therefore, the wearer of the directional projectile firing cartridge can remain in the firing position once it has been reached, in order, if necessary, to fire a second projectile for reliable destruction of the weapon, which is reloaded or kept ready in a parallel launch tube.
- the weapon 11 to be destroyed is a relatively large-volume, essentially cylindrical body with a metal jacket 12 of relatively small wall thickness in relation to the weapon diameter 13, which is essentially filled with explosive 14.
- the fighting medium for example a sea bed mine, is completely buried in sand 15, seared at a depth below the bottom 16, which is at least in the order of magnitude of the cylinder diameter 13 and can even be a few meters.
- the medium 17 above the base 16 can be water, but also air; so that it is Reason 16 can be a body of water or the ground in air.
- the local position of the sanded-in weaponry 11 along the base 16 can be localized by means of, for example, a magnetic location device (not taken into account in the drawing), which operates in or above the medium 17 above the base 16.
- a carrier 18 for a simple cartridge 19, for example designed as a front loader is maneuvered somewhat to the side next to the position of the weapon 11 and the cartridge 19 loaded with a projectile 20 is spatially so by means of a swivel-straightening device 21 aligned that, according to the trigonometric laws, the linear projectile shot 22 hits the previously located weapon 11 as centrally as possible.
- the tip and shell geometry of the annihilation projectile 20, 20 ' is designed in a manner known per se such that, in any case, a media-free cavitation shell is formed directly behind the projectile tip 23 when moving rapidly through water; see. US-PS 34 34 425, Fig.
- the projectile 20, 20 ' which is shot in the correct direction with respect to the previously detected position of the weapon 11 to be destroyed, is hit by the pivotable cartridge 19 with a high impact velocity and a very deeply emitted weapon 11.
- the high impact velocity guarantees a reliable response of one Impact detonator 24, which can be configured as a rear detonator, but is preferably arranged in the projectile tip 23.
- the igniter 24 initiates the combat charge 25 behind a (pointedly tapered) shaped charge insert 26, which is converted into an extremely high-energy shaped charge beam 27 in a known manner. This effortlessly penetrates the weapon shell 12 regardless of whether it has already been damaged by the kinetic energy of the impacting projectile 20 'and penetrates deeply into the weapon explosive 14, which is thereby ignited in a relatively large volume and thus detonated.
- the weapon 11 is safely destroyed; the overlying layer of sand 15 effectively dampens the environmental effect of splinter formation unavoidable during detonation.
- the cartridge carrier 18, which has been brought into the vicinity of the detonation focus in the firing position, is well protected against damage, so that it can be used again from a parallel tube or after reloading the cartridge with a new weapon projectile 20.
- the carrier 18 does not have to be equipped with its own expensive locating devices, since it is steered into an operative position in accordance with the ordnance previously located otherwise, it can also be a loss device; that is, the economic loss is not too great if pressure waves or splinter effects are triggered due to the detonation of the weapon 11, which can seriously impair the further operational readiness of the cartridge carrier 18.
- the cartridge carrier 18 is designed as a remotely controllable vehicle in the form of a displacement vessel, preferably a submersible.
- a displacement vessel preferably a submersible.
- provision can be made to mechanically fix the firing position after being brought into the vicinity of the location of the weapon 11 to be destroyed and only then to carry out the fine alignment of the projectile weft track 22 by means of the pivotable cartridge 19 in order to have enough operating time for this with the carrier position locked mechanically.
- the cartridge carrier 18 can be designed as a self-propelled or towed land vehicle directly on the ground 16.
