AMMUNITION WITH A CAPE FOR COUNTERING AERIAL DRONES Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC F42B12/66 F42B12/60 F41H11/06 

FIELD: weapons.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to ammunition with a cape for countering aerial drones. Ammunition with a cape for countering aerial drones comprises a body open in front, having an imaginary longitudinal axis, a means of air blasting of an explosive charge, blowing charge, cape with weights and connecting threads. Weights are arranged around an imaginary longitudinal axis. Weights are located with their rear part inside the body, each weight is equipped with a thread. Each thread is attached to the corresponding weight by the first end. In addition, the design includes a housing cover. Barrel is fixed in the body. Barrel muzzle faces forward. Rear part of barrel is closed by means of air blasting of expelling charge. Expelling charge is located in the barrel. Additionally, there is a cartridge consisting of a coil and a tubular piston. Tubular piston is located behind the coil. Coil consists of coil bushing, rear and front flanges. Outer diameter of coil bushing is less than outer diameters of flanges. Through axial hole is made in the cartridge. Tubular piston is located inside the barrel. In addition, a cylindrical piston is introduced, the first end of which is connected to the cover, the second end of which is located in the axial hole of the cartridge. Area of the end face of the cylindrical piston is more than the annular area of the end face of the tubular piston. Weights are located with their front part inside the cover. In addition, a ring is introduced, which is located outside the coil bushing. Inner diameter of the ring in its expanded state is greater than the outer diameter of the coil bushing. Second end of each thread is attached to the ring. Each thread is compactly laid so that it can be straightened when pulled by its second end. Cover, barrel, coil, tubular piston, cylindrical piston are located on an imaginary longitudinal axis.

EFFECT: increased probability of aerial drone damage due to increased effective area of damage, as well as reduced time of cape straightening.
