Description
Splittergefechtskopf zur Bekämpfung technischer ZieleSplinter warhead to combat technical objectives
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Splittergefechtskopf zur Bekämpfung technischer Ziele mit einer von einer splitterbildenden Hülle umgebenen Sprengladung , welche gegenläufig zur Einleitung der detonativen Initiierung mit Hilfe eines oder mehrerer detonativer Mittel mit niedriger Leistung kontrolliert in ihrer Wirkung verminderbar oder zerstörbar ist.The invention relates to a fragmentation warhead for combating technical targets with an explosive charge surrounded by a fragment-forming shell, the effect of which can be reduced or destroyed in a controlled manner counter to the initiation of detonative initiation with the help of one or more detonative agents with low power.
Das Einsatzfeld heutiger Gefechtsköpfe verändert sich zunehmend. Es werden immer öfter Ziele in urbaner Umgebung ausgewählt, um die gegnerische Inf- rastruktur zu schwächen. Diese Ziele zeichnen sich durch extreme Nähe zu zivilen und anderen Einrichtungen aus, die nicht oder nur wenig beschädigt werden sollen. Da die bevorzugte Wirkrichtung bauartbedingt vorgegeben ist, bleibt als Möglichkeit zur Reduzierung der Schäden in der Zielumgebung zunächst nur die Beeinflussung der Leistung des Gefechtskopfes. Ein Splittergefechtskopf wirkt üblicherweise radial zu seiner Hauptachse, die erzielbare Wirkung hängt von der Art der erzeugten Splitter ab.The field of application of today's warheads is changing increasingly. Destinations in an urban environment are being selected more and more in order to weaken the opposing infrastructure. These goals are characterized by being extremely close to civilian and other institutions that should not or only slightly be damaged. Since the preferred direction of action is determined by the design, the only way to reduce the damage in the target environment is initially to influence the performance of the warhead. A splinter warhead usually acts radially to its main axis, the achievable effect depends on the type of splinters produced.
Aus der DE 199 17 144 A1 ist ein Splittergefechtskopf bekannt geworden, bei dem eine außenliegende splitterbildende Hülle mit Hilfe am Gefechtskopf angeordneter Mittel entfernt werden kann, um die Intensität der Einwirkung auf Ziele zu vermindern. Es ist jedoch dabei offen geblieben, in welcher Weise die splitterbildende Hülle, welche die Sprengladung radial umgibt, selbst mit in eine kontrollierte Leistungsminderung einbezogen werden kann.A splinter warhead is known from DE 199 17 144 A1, in which an outer splinter-forming shell can be removed with the aid of means arranged on the warhead in order to reduce the intensity of the action on targets. However, it remains open how the fragment-forming shell, which radially surrounds the explosive charge, can itself be included in a controlled reduction in performance.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, zusätzlich zur detonativen oder zur deflagrativen Initiierung der Sprengladung eine ebenso wirksame Methode zur kontrollier- ten Leistungsreduzierung der splitterbildenden Hülle eines Gefechtskopfes anzugeben. Die Aufgabe wird in einfacher Weise durch die in den Ansprüchen 1 und 9 wiedergegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung sind in den jeweils nachgeordneten Ansprüchen beschrieben.It is an object of the invention to provide, in addition to detonative or deflagrative initiation of the explosive charge, an equally effective method for controlled power reduction in the splinter-forming shell of a warhead. The object is achieved in a simple manner by the features set out in claims 1 and 9. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the respective subordinate claims.
Der besondere Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass nach der Verschie- bung oder Verdrehung wenigstens eines Teils der splitterbildenden Hülle des Gefechtskopfes dort die Splitterwirkung entfällt. Darüber hinaus zerlegen sich unverdämmte Bereiche von Sprengladungen bei beginnender Reaktion aufgrund der sich bildenden Gase und Drücke schneller und können somit zumindest dort nicht mehr in eine Detonation übergehen.The particular advantage of the invention is that after the displacement or twisting of at least part of the splinter-forming shell of the warhead, the splinter effect is eliminated there. In addition, uninsulated areas of explosive charges disintegrate more quickly when the reaction begins due to the gases and pressures that form, and can therefore no longer detonate at least there.
Eine sich entwickelnde Deflagration wird dahingehend unterstützt, dass bei einer fehlenden Verdammung die Wahrscheinlichkeit für den Übergang zu einer Detonation verringert wird. Deflagrierende Ladungen erzeugen auch Druckwellen, die Splitterhüllen zerlegen können. Die Geschwindigkeit, die Größe und die ballistische Leistung dieser Splitter ist zwar weitaus geringer als bei einer Detonation, aber es kommt dennoch zu einer Art unerwünschtem Trümmerwurf. Mittels der Verschiebung/Verdrehung der splitterbildenden Hülle wird vorteilhafterweise der Trümmerwurf unterbunden und die ungewollte kolaterale Leistung der Sprengladung weiter reduziert.Developing deflagration is supported in such a way that if there is no dam, the likelihood of transition to a detonation is reduced. Deflagrating charges also create pressure waves that can disintegrate fragments. The speed, size, and ballistic performance of these fragments is far less than that of a detonation, but there is still a kind of unwanted rubble throw. By means of the displacement / twisting of the splinter-forming shell, the debris is advantageously prevented and the unwanted colateral performance of the explosive charge is further reduced.
Mittels Verschiebung von mindestens einem Sektor der splitterbildenden Hülle und mittels gezielter Zündung einzelner Sprengstoffsektionen kann die Splitterleistung in Zielrichtung erhöht und gleichzeitig die verbleibende Blastleistung in Kolateralrichtung vermindert werden.By moving at least one sector of the splinter-forming shell and by deliberately firing individual explosive sections, the splinter power in the target direction can be increased and at the same time the remaining blast power in the colateral direction can be reduced.
Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in der Zeichnung schematisch vereinfacht dargestellt und werden nachfolgend näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:Embodiments of the invention are shown schematically simplified in the drawing and are described in more detail below. Show it:
Fig. 1 einen Schnitt durch eine Sprengladung mit einer verschiebbaren splitterbildenden Hülle mit detonativer (2) und deflagrativer (3) Initiierung, Fig. 2 alternative Ausführungen verschiebbaren Sektoren der splitterbildenden Hülle und mit detonativer Initiierung (2),1 shows a section through an explosive charge with a displaceable fragment-forming shell with detonative (2) and deflagrative (3) initiation, 2 alternative designs of displaceable sectors of the splinter-forming shell and with detonative initiation (2),
Fig. 3 eine Variante zu Fig. 2 mit einzeln ansteuerbarer Zündung von Sprengladungssektoren.Fig. 3 shows a variant of Fig. 2 with individually controllable ignition of explosive charge sectors.
Die Fig. 1 zeigt stark vereinfacht einen Schnitt durch die Sprengladung 1 eines Gefechtskopfes. Die Sprengladung besteht hierbei homogen oder geschichtet aus einem bekannten Sprengstoff und wird über eine konventionelle Zündkette 2, die im Ausführungsbeispiel zweistufig ausgeführt ist und in der Zeichnung an der rechten Stirnseite angeordnet ist, detonativ initiiert. Die Sprengladung 1 ist von einem dünnen Mantel 6 aus Metall oder Kunststoff umgeben. Auf der Außenseite des Mantels ist eine umlaufende splitterbildende Hülle 4 vorgesehen, die mittels eines nicht näher dargestellten Antriebs gleitend auf dem Mantel 6 verschoben oder verdreht werden kann.1 shows, in a highly simplified manner, a section through the explosive charge 1 of a warhead. The explosive charge consists homogeneously or in layers of a known explosive and is initiated detonatively via a conventional ignition chain 2, which in the exemplary embodiment has two stages and is arranged on the right end face in the drawing. The explosive charge 1 is surrounded by a thin jacket 6 made of metal or plastic. On the outside of the jacket, a circumferential splinter-forming sleeve 4 is provided, which can be slid or rotated on the jacket 6 by means of a drive, not shown.
Die Hülle zerlegt sich je nach ihrer Bauweise bei der Detonation der Spreng- ladung in kleinere, mittlere oder größere Splitter, die radial beschleunigt werden. Im Fall der alleinigen Initiierung der Sprengladung 1 durch die Zündkette 2 und ohne Einleitung weiterer Maßnahmen zur Leistungsbeeinflussung wird die gesamte Ladung detonativ umgesetzt und die gesamte Hülle 4 wird als sich radial ausbreitende Splitterwolke wirksam werden. Bereits in diesem Anwendungsfall kann die Wirkung der erfindungsgemäßen kontrollierten Leistungssteuerung der Splitterbildung genutzt werden. Entsprechend Figur 1 wird dazu die splitterbildende Hülle 4 vor der Initiierung durch die Zündkette 2 ganz oder teilweise verschoben 7. Dadurch wird die erzeugbare Splittermenge auf denjenigen Teil der Hülle 4 beschränkt, der die Sprengladung 1 unmittelbar umgibt. Um eine Richtwirkung zu erzielen wird, wie in Figur 2 gezeigt, nur ein Teil der splitterbildenden Hülle 4 verschoben. Mittels Drehung der splitterbildenden Hülle können im Rahmen der Erfindung ähnliche Effekte erzielt werden. Erfolgt die Einleitung der Zündung außermittig (in Figur 3 dargestellt), so kann die Richtwirkung in Zielrichtung verstärkt und die Blastwir- kung in der Gegenrichtung verringert werden. Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Zündkette 2 eine weitere deflagrative Zündkette 3 an der gegenüberliegenden Stirnseite der Sprengladung 1 entgegengerichtet. Alternativ kann auch eine splitter- oder projektilbildende Ladung, die in Achsrichtung wirkt (z.B. eine oder mehrere kleine Hohlladungen), einge- setzt werden, die dann den Teil der Ladung 1, der nicht von der Hülle 4 bedeckt ist, mechanisch entfernt. Der beispielsweise vom Stachel der Hohlladung 3 beeinflusste Anteil der Sprengladung 1 wird nur soweit mechanisch zerlegt oder zermürbt, dass er selbst bei anschließender detonativer Initiierung durch die Zündkette 2 nicht mehr detonativ reagiert. Bei beispielsweise etwa gleichzeitiger Initiierung der Zündkette 2 und der weiteren Ladung 3 laufen die erzeugten Detonations- bzw. Wirkungsfronten aufeinander zu und treffen sich etwa in der Mitte der Sprengladung 1 bei der gestrichelt dargestellten Linie 5. Der rechte Teil der Sprengladung 1 wird detonativ umgesetzt. Der linke Teil ist infolge der Wirkung der Hohlladung 3 detonativ unwirksam. Durch zeitliche Abstimmung zwischen der detonativen Initiierung durch Zündkette 2 und der deflagrativen Initiierung oder mechanischen Zerlegung durch die Zündkette/Ladung 3 lässt sich eine frei wählbare Leistung des Gefechtskopfes von 0 bis 100 % einstellen.Depending on its construction, the shell breaks down into small, medium or large fragments when the explosive charge is detonated, which are accelerated radially. In the case of the sole initiation of the explosive charge 1 by the ignition chain 2 and without the introduction of further measures for influencing the performance, the entire charge is implemented detonatively and the entire shell 4 will become effective as a radially spreading fragment cloud. Even in this application, the effect of the controlled power control of splinter formation according to the invention can be used. According to FIG. 1, the splinter-forming shell 4 is shifted in whole or in part before initiation by the ignition chain 2. As a result, the quantity of splinters that can be generated is limited to that part of the shell 4 that immediately surrounds the explosive charge 1. In order to achieve a directional effect, as shown in FIG. 2, only part of the splinter-forming shell 4 is displaced. Similar effects can be achieved within the scope of the invention by rotating the splinter-forming shell. If the ignition is initiated off-center (shown in FIG. 3), the directional effect in the target direction can be increased and the blast effect in the opposite direction can be reduced. In the exemplary embodiment, the ignition chain 2 has a further deflagrative ignition chain 3 on the opposite end face of the explosive charge 1. Alternatively, a fragment-forming or projectile-forming charge that acts in the axial direction (for example one or more small hollow charges) can also be used, which then mechanically removes the part of the charge 1 that is not covered by the casing 4. The portion of the explosive charge 1, which is influenced, for example, by the sting of the shaped charge 3, is only mechanically broken down or worn down to such an extent that it no longer reacts detonatively even when the detonating chain 2 initiates detonatively. If, for example, the ignition chain 2 and the additional charge 3 are initiated at about the same time, the detonation or action fronts generated converge and meet approximately in the middle of the explosive charge 1 at the line 5 shown in dashed lines. The right-hand part of the explosive charge 1 is implemented detonatively. The left part is detonatively ineffective due to the effect of the shaped charge 3. By timing between the detonative initiation by the ignition chain 2 and the deflagrative initiation or mechanical disassembly by the ignition chain / charge 3, a freely selectable warhead power can be set from 0 to 100%.
Zur Vermeidung von Kolateralschäden oder zur Anpassung der Wirkung der erzeugten Splitter des Gefechtskopfes kann gemäß der Erfindung die splittererzeugende Hülle 4 gegenüber der Sprengladung derart verschoben oder verdreht werden, dass ein zwischen 0 und 100% wählbarer Anteil der splitterbildenden Hülle wirksam wird. In der Regel wird die splitterbildende Hülle 4 soweit verschoben, dass nur der über dem detonativ umgesetzten Anteil der Sprengladung (rechts der gestrichelten Linie 5) befindliche Teil der splitterbildenden Hülle 4 wirksam bleibt. Der deflagrativ sich abbauende oder mechanisch zerlegbare Teil der Sprengladung wird hierbei unterstützt, da dieser sich unverdämmt leichter mechanisch entfernen lässt und auch nicht dazu neigt, in eine detonative Umsetzung überzugehen.To avoid collateral damage or to adapt the effect of the splinters of the warhead produced, the splinter-generating shell 4 can be shifted or rotated in relation to the explosive charge in such a way that a portion of the splinter-forming shell which can be selected between 0 and 100% becomes effective. As a rule, the splinter-forming shell 4 is shifted to such an extent that only the part of the splinter-forming shell 4 located above the detonatively converted portion of the explosive charge (to the right of the dashed line 5) remains effective. The deflagrative part of the explosive charge, which can be dismantled mechanically, is supported here, since it is easier to remove mechanically and it does not tend to go into a detonative implementation.
Die Verschiebung der splitterbildenden Hülle 4 im Ausführungsbeispiel kann zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten und mit Hilfe unterschiedlicher Antriebsmittel erfolgen. Es ist denkbar, bereits vor dem Start des den Gefechtskopf tragenden Fluggeräts beispielsweise manuell eine entsprechende Voreinstellung auszuführen. Während des Fluges zum Ziel kann die Verschiebung beispielsweise mit Hilfe einer vorgespannten Federeinrichtung bis zum gewünschten Grad der Verschiebung durchgeführt werden. Soll die Verschiebung erst in Zielnähe ausgeführt werden, so ist die Verwendung eines motorischen Antriebes, insbesondere eines Elektromotors oder Schrittmotors, möglich. Für sehr schnelle Bewegung der splitterbildenden Hülle eignen sich pyrotechnische Antriebe wie Gasgeneratoren, Treibladungen oder auch detonativ umsetzbare Sprengladungen.The displacement of the splinter-forming shell 4 in the exemplary embodiment can take place at different times and with the aid of different drive means respectively. It is conceivable, for example, to carry out a corresponding presetting manually before the aircraft carrying the warhead is started. During the flight to the destination, the displacement can be carried out, for example, with the aid of a prestressed spring device up to the desired degree of displacement. If the shift is only to be carried out in the vicinity of the target, it is possible to use a motor drive, in particular an electric motor or stepper motor. Pyrotechnic drives such as gas generators, propellant charges or explosive charges that can be detonated are suitable for very rapid movement of the splinter-forming shell.
Es ist für eine Reihe von Anwendungsfällen sinnvoll, die gesamte Hülle 4 über der Sprengladung zu verschieben oder mit einer schraubenförmigen Bewegung zu verdrehen und gleichzeitig neu zu positionieren. Ebenso gut kann auch nur ein ringförmiger Teil der Hülle 4 verschoben oder verdreht werden. Schließlich ist es gemäß Figur 2 und 3 vorteilhaft, einen oder mehrere von die Hülle unterteilenden Sektoren 4a zu verschieben. Damit lässt sich in azimutaler Richtung die Wirkung der erzeugten Splitter dosieren. In diesem Anwendungsfall wird die homogene Ladung 1 nur mit einer detonativen Zündkette 2 ausgestattet. Im Extremfall wird nur ein Sektor der Hülle über der Sprengla- düng belassen, wodurch die Splitterwirkung sich auf einen engen Winkelbereich beschränkt. Hiermit lässt sich auch eine gezielte Initiierung der den Sektoren der Hülle 4 zugeordneten Teilbereiche der Sprengladung 1 gemäß Figur 3 vorteilhaft verbinden. Hier wird die detonative Zündkette 2 durch eine Sicherungsvorrichtung 2a ersetzt. Ausgehend von dieser gemeinsamen Siche- rungsvorrichtung 2a werden jeweils den Teilbereichen der Sprengladung 1 zugeordnete Zündleitungen 2b mit jeweils eigenen Zündketten 2c, bestehend aus einem Detonator und einem Zündverstärker, verwendet. Auf diese Weise erhöht sich die Splitterleistung in Zielrichtung und es vermindert sich gleichzeitig die verbleibende Blastleistung in der Kolateralrichtung. For a number of applications, it makes sense to move the entire shell 4 over the explosive charge or to twist it with a helical movement and to reposition it at the same time. Just as well, only an annular part of the shell 4 can be moved or rotated. Finally, according to FIGS. 2 and 3, it is advantageous to move one or more sectors 4a dividing the shell. The effect of the splinters produced can thus be metered in the azimuthal direction. In this application, the homogeneous charge 1 is only equipped with a detonative ignition chain 2. In the extreme case, only one sector of the shell is left over the explosive charge, as a result of which the splintering action is limited to a narrow angular range. A targeted initiation of the subareas of the explosive charge 1 assigned to the sectors of the shell 4 according to FIG. 3 can also be advantageously connected to this. Here the detonative ignition chain 2 is replaced by a safety device 2a. Starting from this common securing device 2a, ignition lines 2b assigned to the partial areas of the explosive charge 1, each with its own ignition chains 2c, consisting of a detonator and an ignition amplifier, are used. In this way, the splinter power increases in the target direction and at the same time the remaining blast power in the colateral direction decreases.
