HITTING COMPONENT OF CLUSTER AMMUNITION Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: ammunition, in particular, cluster ammunition, whose envelope has a great number of separate hitting components, mainly of fragmentation-shaped-charge action.

SUBSTANCE: the hitting component has a body, filling of an explosive with a shaped recess, with a cylindrical bushing with a shoulder inside on the open end face fastened before it on the body, means for crushing of the body into fragments made in the form of circular lugs, and a zigzagged band aerodynamic stabilizer connected to a striker spring of the inertia fuse including a primer detonator by means of a kinematically linked bent shackle and a cross axle of the body bottom part. The novelty is in the fact that the zigzag of the band aerodynamic stabilizer is placed in a polymeric bag that is placed on a shaped support positioned on the fuse and closed with a cap provided with a flexible flange, and the body circular lugs are additionally divided by longitudinal riffles with formation of evenly distributed truncated pyramids.

EFFECT: enhanced fragmentation action of the hitting components that are safe in service handling due to location of the packed aerodynamic stabilizer on an additional support inside the cap linked with it, automatically removed at an ejection of the hitting components from the envelope of the cluster ammunition.
