DAMAGE AGENT OF AMMUNITION Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC F42B1/28 F42B1/32 F42B12/10 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of explosive technology, in particular to ammunition intended for the destruction of armored targets and the creation of a fragmentation field in the enclosed space. Damage agent of ammunition includes a body, an explosive charge (BB), an initiation system and a zirconium liner designed to form a destructive element (DE) therefrom. Facing is made with a variety of thickness, conical or spherical, the shape is chosen depending on the thickness and type of barrier. In case of using a conical cladding, it is made with an increase in the thickness Δ from the center to the periphery in the range 1<Δ_periph/Δ_centre<4, the ratio of its deflection H to the diameter D is chosen from the ratio 0.5<H/D≤2. In case of the use of a spherical cladding, it is made with increasing or decreasing thickness Δ from the center to the periphery in the range 0.5<Δ_periph/Δ_centre<3. Choice of cladding weight m_clad and explosive mass m_in is carried out from the following condition m_clad/m_in=0.1–0.5.

EFFECT: increase the explosive effect of the ammunition by optimizing the kinetic energy of DE, depending on the thickness and type of obstruction and additional incendiary effect.
