摘要:
A reactive protection arrangement for protecting stationary or mobile objects against threats posed by hollow charges, projectile-forming charges or kinetic energy penetrators is secured to the side of the object to be protected that faces the threat in a fixed or movable manner, and includes at least one protective area arranged at an inclination angle to the threat direction. This protective area comprises a front cover that faces the threat, and a rear cover that faces away from the threat and is spaced apart from the front cover and, is configured as a bulging arrangement. At least one fixed or movable reactive middle layer or reactive zone is present between both covers which includes at least two reactive partial areas each having at least one explosive field, wherein the reactive partial areas are plugged on all sides by means of the delimiting covers as well as lateral separating layers.

A watercraft includes a support structure and a protected space, object or the like within an outer shell of the support structure. To protect the space, object, or the like, for example, a sensitive subassembly in the watercraft, against threats posed by shaped charges, a protective device is positioned between the outer shell and the sensitive subassembly. The protective device includes a multitude of reactive protective elements arranged in a flexible support construction oriented at an angle to the direction of threat. And the support construction is connected, such as, with positive locking and/or friction locking and/or with substance-to-substance bond, to the support structure of the watercraft.

Projectiles or war-heads with an inner arrangement for the formation of bulging zones (4,4a) are proposed, comprised of an enclosed bulging medium (1) which is terminal-ballistically substantially ineffective and is radially enclosed by a penetration material (2) which is terminal-ballistically effective, with the bulging medium (1) having a lower density as compared with the enclosing penetration material (2). This leads to the effect that on impact or on penetrating a target plate (3) the bulging medium (1) remains behind relative to the encompassing terminal-ballistic effective body (2) and is laterally increasingly bulged by the bulging material (1) which continues to flow in from behind. As a result of the high pressures, a conical (crowned) pressure and bulging zone (4,4a) is formed dynamically, which zone radially widens or fragments the passing ambient effective material (5,5a).

A stud driver for driving fastener studs in place with the aid of a propelling piston moved by a propellant contains a return spring concentrically surrounding a piston rod of the propelling piston. The return spring has roughly the shape of a relatively thin-walled cylindrical sleeve of elastomeric material reinforced at regular intervals by metallic ring disks. These metallic ring disks prevent any uncontrolled deformation of the elastomeric sleeve in high-speed movement of the propelling piston.

A single- or multiple-base powder charge for propellants is made up of at least one powder grain in the form of a shaped mass of powder having at least one internal cavity. The diameters of the internal cavities within the powder grains making up the charge are different and at least a portion thereof is smaller than the critical diameter that corresponds to the ignition pressure and that governs the penetration of the ignition flame into the internal cavities. With this arrangement at least a portion of the internal cavities is ignited with a retardation only by gas pressures that rise above the ignition pressure.

摘要:
A hybrid polyvalent projectile or warhead with an active means such as a fragmentation, disk, ring, hollow-charge or P-charge head in conjunction with a module comprising an active laterally effective penetrator includes a pyrotechnic unit serving at the same time for the active laterally effective penetrator and the active means as a producing/accelerating element. The terminal-ballistic efficiency of ALP projectiles, which is reduced at low impact velocities, is ensured by an additional device which as a pyrotechnic unit produces an axial action or accelerates fragments in the desired direction. The explosive of an HC-portion with a triggering device which can be of any design configuration at the same time provides the pressure for the adjoining ALP-module.
摘要:
A protective device for protecting armored vehicles from hollow-charge projectiles includes at least one protective module that is mounted in front of the exterior of a wall to be protected. The protective module is moved out of an inoperative position, in which it is situated in a predetermined position, and into an active position, in which at least partial areas of the protective module have a greater distance from the wall to be protected compared to the inoperative position. The protective module can be constructed from a number of components, which can be displaced relative to one another and which, as a result of a displacing motion and/or pivotal motion, can be displaced out of the inoperative position and into the active position in which they are interlocked.
摘要:
A warhead for use against fortified or armored targets has an axially extending common housing. A forward hollow charge is located in the housing adjacent the forward end. A follow-up projectile is located in the housing between the hollow charge and the rearward end. When the housing strikes a target an ignition system is activated first igniting the follow-up projectile and then igniting the hollow charge, so that the hollow charge opens a hole in the target and then is followed by the follow-up projectile aligned with the hole.

The improved gun barrel insert is provided in tank-borne guns, field howitzers and the like. It makes possible the use of small caliber and thus less expensive ammunition having ballistic properties of the substituted larger caliber ammunition, while maintaining the opening, closing and igniting mechanisms provided for the larger caliber firing as well as the geometry and weight of the larger caliber cartridges. True combat conditions with a correct observation of shooting regulations can thereby be simulated to a very large extent and a high accuracy in hitting targets from shooting stands or moving bases can be obtained. The provided insert accommodates both a smaller-caliber cartridge and the igniting mechanism therefor. The insert is designed as a slightly tapering rotational symmetrical adapter conformable to the cartridge chamber of the larger caliber weapon. The conical front end of the adapter bears against the mating rear portion of the barrel insert proper. Axially the adapter is held in position by the breech block without any modification.
