AMMUNITION OF NON-CONTACT ACTION WITH REMOTE LASER FUSE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC F42C13/02 F42B12/00 

FIELD: weapon.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to armaments, in particular to non-contact detonators of munitions, and can be used in munitions for barrel rifled artillery to determine the optimum moment of the munition explosion. Non-contact action ammunition with a remote laser fuse contains a shell with an explosive, a fuse, a power source, a detonator, a safety-cocking mechanism and an optical target sensor. Optical target sensor contains one transceiver channel, herewith the optical axis of the photodetector is parallel or substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ammunition in the direction of travel, and the optical axis of the pulsed optical radiation source - a laser diode - is directed at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the ammunition in the direction of travel, wherein the plane perpendicular to the long side of the laser diode emitting area is parallel or substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ammunition. Angle between the longitudinal axis of the photodetector and the optical axis of the pulsed optical radiation source, which is the laser diode, is determined from the mathematical expression indicated in the claims. Before the photodetector an optical lens with an optical power determined from the mathematical expression indicated in the claims is installed.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to reduce the number of radio-emitting channels while maintaining the effectiveness of the target damage, with the provision of detonation at an optimal distance from the target for small-calibre barrel rifled artillery projectiles.
