MISSILE FOR ACTIVE INFLUENCE ON CLOUDS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A01G15/00 F42B12/36 F42B12/46 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: missile for active influence on clouds has a head part with sticks of pyrotechnic charges separated by the gas distribution grids, communicating with the annular rows of smoke-discharge outlets in the housing, closed by the fairing filled with bulk metallic material, and in which the duplicated flash detonators are located, interacting with distribution belt explosive charges of the self-destructive mechanism, as well as a two-section solid-fuel jet engine, which ignition charge through the receiver communicates with the central electrical cap chamber of the nozzle cluster bearing aerodynamic blades. The novelty is that the total flow area of the smoke-discharge outlets of the head part is selected from the condition of (27-33)-fold degree of orificing of the active surface of the sticks of pyrotechnic charges of the head part generating the functional smoke, and the receiver of the nozzle cluster is equipped with a graphite insert at the end.

EFFECT: reliable operation of the missile on distribution of active smoke directly at the site of its generation through the outlet openings of the housing, ensuring the formation of a significant proportion of the fine fraction of the target aerosol in the form of gas-dynamic jets stabilizing the missile at tilting on the flight path in the treated cloud, and the direction of the part of the smoke flow to the nozzle cluster, when agglomeration of the particles of the dispersed phase of aerosol is carried out.
