CLUSTER WARHEAD Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: rocketry, applicable in development of cluster warhead provided with stabilizable large-sized war members. SUBSTANCE: the cluster warhead has a fairing, envelope with bottoms, diaphragms, powder charges, boosting unit, timing and blasting devices and war members with parachutes located in containers with covers, located on the bottom end of each war member are the compensators of the maximum overloads in the form of radial stamps-out, whose quantity is determined from relation: K_D•(ΔP_max•S_el/F₁)<n≤K_D•m_en•gn_np/F₁), where the left-hand part determines the value of load on the war member due to the pressure differential in the cluster length, and the right-hand one - the value of the maximum inertia overloads. The parachute container is made with lowering and oriented towards the fairing. The container cover is provided with a detachable joint in the form of flat spring tabs installed for engagement with the annular groove on the inner surface of the container and is fastened on one side with the diaphragm through an elastic intermediate ring, and on the other side - by a flexible coupling with the parachute sleeve. The diameter of the diaphragm exceeds the diameter of the container lowering and the diameter of the intermediate ring at least by 1.05 and 1.1 times respectively. EFFECT: reduced mass and overall dimension or increased payload of the warhead due to the absence of the mechanisms for opening of the parachute compartments and compensation of power loads in the process of opening. 3 dwg
