HIGH-EXPLOSIVE WARHEAD Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: ammunition of jet artillery. SUBSTANCE: high-explosive warhead of a jet projectile has a fuze, detonator, fairing, body, explosive charge, with a block of ready-made fragments located between them, and a bottom. The fairing and the bottom are made in the form of truncated cones, whose larger bases are fastened to the body; the angles of inclination of the internal surfaces forming them to the warhead longitudinal axis are selected within Positioned in the points of attachment of the body with the fairing and bottom are the front and rear ring reflectors with width h_n= (0,035...0,07)L, h₃= (0,01...0,035)L and inside diameters d_n= (0,75...0,85)D and d₃= (0,6...0,7)D respectively, where θ₁ and θ₂ are angles of inclination of the generating internal surfaces of the fairing and bottom to the warhead longitudinal axis; h_n and h₃ is width of the front and rear ring reflectors; L is body length; d_n and d₃ is inside diameter of the front and rear reflectors; D is warhead caliber. EFFECT: reduced loss of energy for end divergence of detonation products, enhanced speed and angle of divergence of fragments, enhanced efficiency of warhead hitting of manpower and non-armored equipment. 1 dwg
