METHOD OF TARGET DESTRUCTION BY PREDOMINANTLY GUIDED MISSILE AND MISSILE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: military equipment, development of missiles of bulk-detonating action. SUBSTANCE: method of target destruction consists in initiation of live charge close to target and in action on target with energy of blast of live charge. Bulk-detonating charge is employed as live charge, it is transferred in direction of target and is simultaneously activated with subsequent ignition by encounter with oxygen of air on target. Transfer is carried out through injector. Salient feature of missile lies in use of bulk-detonating charge and ignition-blasting charge in its warhead and in execution of injector in the form of axial conduit in its sustainer engine oriented towards nose section and smoothly matched with recess of nozzle unit of engine into which part of shell of warhead enters and where ignition-blasting charge is buried in bulk-detonating charge. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of use of warheads of bulk-detonating action in mix of missiles. 2 cl, 1 dwg
