ARTILLERY ROCKET Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: artillery ammunition. SUBSTANCE: invention refers to controlled artillery rockets with combined, contact and contact-free operation of fuze for remote initiation of explosion by radiation action of outside source. Artillery rocket includes body, filling agent, fuze incorporating converter, safety and actuation mechanisms, unit of remote control over fuze coupled to power supply source. Unit of remote control over fuze incorporates receiver of time code, decoder and delay circuit connected in series. Novelty of given artillery rocket consists in connection of output of unit of remote control directly to fuze converter coming in the form of electric igniter and output of decoder is coupled to switch of power supply line of time encoder. Fuze is supplemented with contact pickup coupled to delay circuit. Proposed technical solution provides for enhanced combat efficiency of artillery rocket by way of increase of mass of explosive thanks to reduced dimensions of unit of remote control over fuze with simplification of its design and diminished energy consumption which enables rocket to be blasted in specified point of trajectory of flight of rocket. Rocket is multifunctional, it demonstrates remote control and contact blasting and self-liquidation. Integrated construction of unit of remote control over blast makes it possible for this invention to employed in small-caliber artillery rockets. EFFECT: enhanced combat efficiency of artillery rocket. 1 cl, 3 dwg
