    摘要: A munition, such as a warhead, includes a penetrator casing for penetrating hard targets, such as a fortification or inforced building or other structure, with the penetrator casing having reduced-thickness portions. The munition also includes a shock-resistant fuzewell for absorbing shocks during the penetration, to allow a fuze within the fuzewell to survive hard target penetration. The fuzewell may have one or more shock-absorbing features, such as having a ring surrounding a central housing, with flexible spokes connecting the ring to the central housing. The shock-absorbing features may allow the fuze to withstand the penetration into a hard target, with the fuze subsequently being used to detonate an explosive of the munition.

    摘要: A munition, such as a warhead, includes a penetrator casing for penetrating hard targets, such as a fortification or reinforced building or other structure, with the penetrator casing having reduced-thickness portions. The reduced-thickness portions provide weak points to the casing that facilitate the casing being transformed into fragments of a desired size/quantity when an explosive within the casing is detonated after the penetration occurs, thus enhancing the effectiveness of the munition. In addition, the warhead may have lethality-enhancing materials, such as additional fragments and/or energetic materials, at the reduced-thickness portions of the penetrator casing. The reduced-thickness portions may be holes, such as longitudinal holes, in the casing, or may be grooves on an inner and/or outer surface of the casing. The munition may be a dual-use munition, with the explosive able to be detonated at a burst height for use of the warhead as a non-penetrating area fragmentation weapon.

    摘要: A mortar system includes a launch unit that comprises a mortar ignition cartridge provided with a flashtube. The flashtube incorporates a ring-like nozzle that is positioned within the flashtube, which acts to restrain the motion of the black powder pellets as well as to choke the flow of the resultant combustion products. The nozzle separates the flashtube into two compartments: a flashtube venting chamber and a pellet combustion chamber. The mortar ignition cartridge combustion chamber acts as the product-gas venting area of the flashtube. The combustion of the black powder pellets essentially takes place in the pellet combustion chamber. The present design modification improves the overall performance of the mortar system.

    摘要: A spin stabilized payload projectile 10, in order to separate a projectile base connected with projectile body 11 and to eject a payload 13, is provided with an ejection charge 15 in its nose region, with such ejection charge being activated with a certain delay by a nose fuze 14. To prevent damage to the nose fuze 14 by the gas pressure generated by ejection charge 15, a pressure reducing element 20 is disposed between nose fuze 14 and the ejection charge. In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, this pressure reducing element 20 is composed of a cone or a cone frustum whose base face faces nose fuze 14 and whose tip faces ejection charge 15. The tip of pressure reducing element 20 is provided with an opening 20a through which a firing jet travels from nose fuze 14 to ejection charge 15 for the purpose of activating charge 15. After activation of ejection charge 15, pressure reducing element 20 is deformed into a substantially gas tight disc.
