CLUSTER-TYPE DISPERSION WARHEAD Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC F42B12/58 

FIELD: weapons.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a dispersion warhead. Dispersion warhead comprises shell with bottoms, cluster units with combat elements and fixation assemblies, cocking and dispersion charges with ignition device and piston with forcing assemblies. Dispersion warhead is additionally equipped with transfer charges made in the form of flow tubes with covers arranged at the beginning and end of the cluster units and gas-dynamically coupled with ignition and dispersion charges, respectively. Dispersion charge is made in the form of two equivalent sections arranged in a single after-piston space and equipped with thinning. First section fixed on the piston is gas-dynamically connected to the shell cavity by an ignition channel in the piston. Second section fixed at the bottom of the shell is gas-dynamically oriented by its thinning to the peripheral annular gap between the piston and the shell. At the bottom of the shell there are radial flow zones and a central discharge channel, gas-dynamically connecting the dispersion cavity with the bottom space of the head part.

EFFECT: improving arming reliability of detonating fuses of combat elements and operability of the warhead in the process of dispersion with reduction of power and thermal loads on the dispersed elements.
