PARACHUTE FOR SELF-AIMING AMMUNITION Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: rocket weapons. SUBSTANCE: parachute for self-aiming ammunition includes canopy with radially placed sections which upper parts are spaced by distance under 0.15 of their width and form pole hole to which edges pole rigging lines linked to central rigging line are attached. Lower parts of sections are placed at distance equal to 0.1-0.3 of their width. Side edges of sections facing direction of parachute rotation are connected to main rigging lines and their length amounts to 0.8-1.0 length of opposite side edges. Diameter of pole hole lies within limits of 0.15-0.35 diameter of inlet hole. Length of main rigging lines is over 0.6 diameter of inlet hole and length of central rigging line amounts to 0.9-1.2 length of main rigging lines. Sections are interconnected by means of 2-4 concentric supporting belts. Lower parts of main rigging lines are located at distance not less than 0.15 caliber of ammunition from center of attachment unit. and spacing ring with diameter of 0.1-0.2 diameter of inlet hole of cupola is mounted between main rigging lines at distance 0.1-0.2 of their length from attachment point. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of self-aiming ammunition thanks to exception of miss in process of search for target by way of increase of rotational speed of parachute with ammunition. 2 dwg
