摘要: A munition may include a warhead, such as a penetrator warhead, enclosed in airframe. The airframe may enable connection to standard mountings, and/or to standard nose kits or tail kits. The airframe may have preformed fragments in it, packed between the airframe and the warhead. The preformed fragments may be loose, may be packed in a potting material, or may be in flexible bags. The fragments may enhance performance of the munition. The warhead may also contain preformed fragments.

摘要: A munition has preformed fragments at two radial distances from a center axis, for instance having inner fragments in or within or adjacent to a casing, and outer fragments outside of the casing. The outer fragments may be between the casing and an outer enclosure that surrounds the casing. The casing may be part of a warhead, and may be a penetrator casing. The fragments at different radial distances from the center may have different sizes, different materials, and/or different shapes. The use of fragments at different radial distances aids in providing enhanced fragmentation effects, such as controlling dispersal of fragments to limit fragmentation effects and/or provide more even distribution of fragments.
摘要翻译: 弹药已经从中心轴线的两个径向距离处形成了碎片,例如在壳体内部或内部或与壳体相邻的内部碎片以及壳体外部的外部碎片。 外部碎片可以在壳体和围绕壳体的外壳之间。 套管可以是弹头的一部分,并且可以是穿透套管。 距离中心不同径向距离的碎片可能具有不同的尺寸,不同的材料和/或不同的形状。 使用不同径向距离的片段有助于提供增强的碎片效应,例如控制片段的分散以限制碎片效应和/或提供更均匀的片段分布。

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.
摘要翻译: 诸如弹头之类的弹药包括用于穿透诸如强化或加固建筑物或其他结构的硬目标的穿透套管,穿透套管具有厚度减小的部分。 减小厚度部分为壳体提供弱点,当外壳中的爆炸物在穿透发生之后爆炸时,便于壳体转变成所需尺寸/数量的碎片,从而提高弹药的有效性。 此外,在穿透套管的厚度较小的部分,弹头可具有致死性增强材料,例如附加碎片和/或高能材料。 减薄部分可以是壳体中的诸如纵向孔的孔,或者可以是壳体的内表面和/或外表面上的凹槽。 弹药可能是一种双重用途的弹药,爆炸物能够以突击高度被引爆,以使用弹头作为非穿透区域的分裂武器。

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. The penetrator casing has a relatively thick nose, and a relatively thin aft section extending back from the nose. A cable interface is in the aft section, and an electrical harness extends from the cable interface, external of the casing, and forward to a nose kit. The penetrator casing may have reduced-thickness portions, to provide weakness points to the casing that facilitate the casing being transformed into fragments of a semi-controlled and desirable size when an explosive within the casing is detonated after the penetration occurs, thus enhancing the effectiveness of the munition.
