CLUSTER WAR HEAD Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: rocket engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention can be employed for development of split-up rocket missiles of salvo fire with large-sized combat elements. Cluster head includes shell with fairing and bottoms, combat elements with fuzes, diaphragms, booster unit, piston, priming and knock- out charges, timer, boost tube. Priming charge is fitted with cover with bursting screws and is mounted on front bottom. Front bottom has central hole and slit channel. Combat elements are equipped with longitudinal stamped-out parts placed in symmetry and fixed between front bottom and piston with the aid of head and bottom damping inserts. Piston is mounted for interaction with ring shoulder made in bottom part. Accumulation space gas-dynamically coupled to space of shell with the help of peripheral gas conduits in piston is formed behind piston. Booster unit is positioned in point of joint of shell with fairing and comes in the form of destroyed threaded connection. Utilization of invention makes it feasible to develop cluster war head with dense laying and reliable fixing of large-sized combat elements which prevents emergence of impact loads on combat elements in process of start and disintegration of war head over trajectory. EFFECT: prevented emergence of impact loads on combat elements in process of start and disintegration of war head. 4 dwg
