FRAGMENTATION-CLUSTER PROJECTIVE Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: fragmentation projectiles. SUBSTANCE: the projectile has an explosive charge and a bottom fuse mounted in the body with a front bottom, installed on which is a block with tightly laid prefragmented injuring elements (PIE) and an easily detachable head cap filled with low-dense material. The PIE block is made for its probable replacement, just before a shot inclusive. The replaceable blocks are furnished with prefragmented injuring elements of a different mass. The PIE block rests on the front bottom of the body through a diaphragm, which damps the compression action of pressure in the front of the impact wave at detonation of the explosive preserving the geometric integrity and spatial propagation of the injuring elements. A device for a quick extraction of the PIE is attached to the diaphragm. Correlation of the projectile body with the PIE block by means of device preventing a turn-through makes it possible to prevent angular relative displacement of the PIE block at a gyroscopic longitudinal stabilization of the projectile in the flight trajectory, excluding additional disturbances, which ensures the required accuracy of fire. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of injuring action of the projectile on target with a different degree of protection. 15 cl, 1 dwg, 1 tbl, 1 ex
