GUIDED MISSILE Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: jet-propelled ammunition. SUBSTANCE: the guided missile has leading and basic shaped charges, control actuator unit with the central passage installed between them, damping unit and a deflector, as well as a safety-actuator mechanism and an electronic delay unit. The damping unit is installed on the front end of the actuator unit body behind the leading shaped charge, it is made of material with a variable density. An additional explosive charge with an initiating means is installed in the cavity of the control actuator central passage, the explosive mass makes up 0.005 to 0.010 of the mass of the members of the construction of the control actuator unit. The tapered deflector is installed on the body of the basic shaped-charge warhead through an adapter rigidly connected to it with the apex towards the additional explosive charge in a spaced relation. EFFECT: enhanced armor- piercing capacity of the guided missile due to elimination of interference on the path of cumulative jet of the basic charge. 3 cl, 1 dwg
