MISSILE-FORMING AMMUNITION WITH REMOTE ACTION Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F42B12/10 F42B1/02 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition supplies.

SUBSTANCE: missile-forming ammunition with a remote fuze refers to ammunition intended for penetration of armoured targets, for which they are transported by a carrier to the target area and are ejected there. Fuzes of such ammunition are equipped with target sensors, which ensure that the ammunition is fired at a certain distance therefrom. The ammunition comprises a body in which a charge of high explosive (HE) with lining, an HE initiating device providing explosive wave formation in HE at its end-face engagement, and a fuze target sensor, where some elements of the transceiver system are placed before the lining along the HE axis and is connected with other elements located outside the housing, the waveguide, extended along the axis and passing through the lining and the HE charge, and the initiating device, which is designed as an inert matrix with channels connecting the initiating means with the HE charge surface, the end portions of which are located either on the annular zone around the HE charge axis, or distributed over the surface. The HE charge is made of a casting composition and the HE weight and lining weight ratio is chosen in the range of 3.2-3.7.

EFFECT: increased efficiency and manufacturability.
