JET PROJECTILE CASSETTE-TYPE WARHEAD Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F42B12/58 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: proposed warhead comprises housing, tubular cassettes with blow-out charge and hitting cylindrical elements with unfolding fins. Stabilisers have arched stabilising surfaces. Unfolding as-closed fins of every hitting element make the chamber with ID making at least the element case calibre. Nose of the next hitting element enters said chamber with its arched stabilising surface resting thereon. Hitting elements are fitted in tubular cassette so that nose of the next element tightly abuts on previous element case rear part. Length of element case that enters the closed stabiliser inner chamber makes 0.5…2.0 calibre of the element. Rear part of the case of every element accommodates spring-loaded spacer ring. Said ring at initial position is displaced toward the element nose. Element stabilisers are oriented in tubular cassette towards warhead housing nose. Length of every tubular cassette is selected with the limits $$\left[\left(20\dots .50\right)\times (\sqrt{D^4-{\left(D-2t\right)}^4})\right]:D,$$ where D is cassette OD, t is cassette wall depth.

EFFECT: higher combat efficiency.
