CONTACT FUSE FOR ANTI-SHIPPING MISSILES Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: military equipment. SUBSTANCE: in the contact fuse for anti-shipping missiles containing a system of contact pickups and a safety-actuator mechanism with a safety- type firing circuit, the system of contact pickups is made in the form of two groups, the first of which, the target contact pickups, is installed on the missile envelope, and the second one, the destruction pickups, - directly in the warhead. The safety-actuator mechanism has two reservoir capacitors, one of which is connected to the circuit of instantaneous action as a result of closing of the destruction pickups, and the second one - to the firing circuit of delayed action as a result of closing of the target contact pickups, two shock-proof contactors, for example blast relays, and a resistor shunting the reservoir capacitor at an emergency untimely closing of pickups. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of the missile warhead. 3 dwg
