ARTILLERY GUIDED PROJECTILE Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: military equipment, in particular, artillery guided projectiles with a homing head on the terminal flight leg. SUBSTANCE: the artillery guided projectile has a body, ballistic hood with an arming mechanism and a separation device with a powder charge, homing head, breaking attachment members. The powder charge combustion chamber is made with an axial hollow piston, installed on the outer cylindrical surface on one side is a packing ring shutting off the inlet to the side nozzle of the separation device, and a cylindrical recess is made on the other side, which by its lateral walls limits the piston travel up to the stop against them of threaded pins screwed in the wall of the ballistic hood. The piston inner surface on the side of the packing ring is made in the form of a funnel forming with the cylindrical body of the arming mechanism a gas-dynamic annular nozzle connecting the combustion chamber to the pre-nozzle space of the side nozzle. EFFECT: enhanced reliability of target destruction due to the reduced effect of disturbing factors in the projectile top at a drop of the ballistic hood. 1 dwg
