CLUSTER WARHEAD Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: military equipment, applicable in ammunition, mainly in cluster warheads of shells, mines, bombs, rockets, in which blasting charges are used for ejection of subammunition. SUBSTANCE: the cluster warhead has a body with an indestructible collector installed in its axis. A container with a propelling powder charge is installed inside the collector. War components are arranged row upon row around the collector. Intermediate flanges are positioned on the outer surface of the collector between the rods of laying of the war components. Holes are made on the side surface of the collector, whose total area under each row of the war components is proportional to the square of the required ejection speeds for the given row. A bush with a chamfered end facing inside the collector is installed in each hole of the collector. EFFECT: provided adjustment of the radial ejection speed of the war components from the cluster warhead, provided their uniform dispersion and thus enhanced efficiency of the warhead. 3 dwg
