摘要:
A submunition unit for a spin stabilized carrier projectile (1), with the submunition unit including an antenna disposed at the nose of its casing (7), and with the antenna (5) being covered by a protective cover (6). The casing (7) and the protective cover (6) are provided with respective axially overlapping collars (8, 9) which are each provided with respective opposed circumferential grooves (14, 15) to form an annular recess to accommodate an elastic securing ring (16). The securing ring, which is normally positioned within the innermost of the circumferential grooves, expands under the influence of centrifugal forces to connect the casing and protective cover together in a form-locking manner.

An arrangement for ejecting objects from a projectile, includes a hollow projectile body having a nose end with a plurality of objects disposed in a column within the projectile body. An ejection charge is disposed within the projectile body at the nose end. An ejection device including a hood enclosing a cavity is ejectably disposed within the projectile body between the ejection charge and the column. The hood has a wall with an opening facing the ejection charge so that, after ignition of the ejection charge, resulting powder gases enter into the cavity through the opening to generate a gas pressure between the hood and the adjacent object and simultaneously exert a force on an exterior portion of the wall of the hood that causes the hood and the column to be ejected from the tail end of the projectile body, whereby the hood separates from the column once the hood and column are free of the projectile due to the pressure in the cavity.

A projectile for firing from a gun barrel which comprises a projectile body having a radial and longitudinal directions; a rotating band disposed on the projectile body and having at least one material receiving groove to accommodate rotating band material sheared off during passage of the projectile through the gun barrel, and at least one pressure relief groove located in a region of the rotating band where the projectile body is subjected to maximum stress in the radial direction.

A method of applying a metallic guide band to the body of a projectile having particularly thin walls comprises making fine particles plastically deformable by heating thereof, and spraying said heated particles at high speed onto a surface section of the projectile body until a desired layer thickness of the guide band is attained. A projectile body having a circumferential guide band is produced by the method of the invention. The thin-walled projectile body has a boundary layer region on its exterior which may be roughened and/or deoxidized. The boundary layer region is formed by an intermediate layer which may be composed of molybdenum, nickel aluminide or nickel oxide and itself has a roughened boundary layer region on its exterior. This results in a particularly intimate physical bond with the particles of alloy of the guide band. The alloy is preferably of a CuZn85/15 type and has a porosity of up to 5 volume percent.

A spin-stabilized projectile includes a casing, a plurality of bomblets accommodated in the casing, filler pieces inserted between the casing and the bomblets, and a device for ejecting the bomblets by explosive force from the projectile at a predetermined point along a trajectory thereof. The filler pieces are of steel or tungsten and are distributed in the casing such that the projectile flies stably up to the point of ejection of the bomblets.

The invention relates to a sensor-carrier which is transported by a useful load projectile to a predetermined target region which may be inaccessible and is set down in said region. For the purpose of avoiding damaging the sensitive sensor, the latter is, together with the sensor support, compactly mounted in a folded retracted condition in a rugged housing and is automatically projected out of the housing in an erected, extended position when the sensor-carrier is set down and the housing is opened. The sensor support consists of a plurality of rotationally symmetrical support members which are strung on a steel cable in a manner similar to a pearl necklace. The steel cable is surrounded by a sheathing and is connected via a disc to a coil spring for tensioning the steel cable. The sensor-carrier serves to position the sensor in an elevated position over the ground surface for improving its sensing and transmitting capabilities.

A spin stabilized projectiles (1) having a rotating band (3) arranged on the shell body (2), with such rotating band being provided with grooves (35, 36, 37) to receive rotating band material sheared off toward the rear during passage of the projectile (1) through a gun barrel (4) so that the transfer of spin is effected with the aid of annular rotating band zones (31, 32, 33, 34) which form spin transfer ring. The diameter (38) of at least one spin transfer ring (31, 34), preferably the rearmost ring, is larger than the diameter (45) of the rifling grooves (42) in the gun barrel (4). Due to the high radial pressure on the shell body in the region of the rotating band, great radial deformations may occur, particularly in thin-walled shell bodies. The consequences are untightness of the rotating band and too much stress on the projectile. To overcome these drawbacks of prior art rotating bands, the diameter (39) of at least one of the remaining spin transfer rings (32, 33) is smaller than the diameter of the rifling grooves (45) but larger than the caliber (44) of the gun barrel (4).

A projectile assembly includes a spin-stabilized carrier projectile having a carrier casing and a base at one end of the casing; and a sub-ammunition assembly composed of a plurality of sub-ammunition components stacked to form a column. One of the components is an end component adjoining the base. A component surface of the end component is oriented towards and is in engagement with the base surface. At least two of the components are sub-ammunition projectiles. An arrangement maintains a frictional lock between the base surface and the component surface of the end component. According to the arrangement a portion of the base surface and a portion of the component surface of the end component have high coefficients of friction.
摘要:
In projectile bases (20) for carrier projectiles which are equipped with a cavity (26) on the side facing away from the projectile tail for, for example, a parachute, it may happen that the base plate (23) is axially bent through during firing. This causes the base body (22) to be radially constricted and contact is lost between the rotating band (27) disposed on the body (22) and the gun tube, frequently resulting in a gas breakthrough. To avoid the above-mentioned radial constriction in the region of the rotating band, the projectile base (20) is provided with a base plate (23) which is curved toward the tail of the projectile. The curved configuration of the base plate (23) makes it possible to produce radial widening in the rear projectile base region during firing so as to ensure gas tightness and spin transmission from the rotating band (27) even at high gas pressures.
