BURSTING-TYPE AMMUNITION Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC F42C13/00 F42C19/00 

FIELD: arms manufacturing.

SUBSTANCE: ammunition contains a casing housing an explosive substance, a point proximity fuse for triggering bursting-type ammunition that comprises a casing housing: a power-supply source, a detonator, a safety-and-arming mechanism, an electronics module connected with the above mechanism and the target detector equipped with at least two electrodes divided by a dielectric insert that constitute a part of the fuse casing. The external electrode is shaped as a part of the fuse casing, while the inner electrode is shaped as a body of revolution, mostly as a blunt-nosed cone, and is located inside the above insert. The electrical insulating insert thickness h is established based on the ratio: h ≥ 1/10 L, where: L - length of the external surface element of the point electrode in the meridian section, wherein the electronics module comprises a sensitive element of the environment dielectric conductivity sensor.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of bursting-type ammunition application due to the optimization of the moment of action alongside with enhanced resistance to mini-interferences.
