Projectile and fuse with brake

Abstract

A projectile is outfitted with a target finder and is intended to be fired from a launching device and includes one or several brake flaps where the brake flaps, after being extended, cause the projectile to be arranged in a controlled oscillating movement. A fuse is also provided.

1 . A projectile outfitted with a target finder, intended to be fired from a launching device, comprising one or several extendable brake panels, wherein the brake panels, upon being extended, cause the projectile to be arranged in a controlled oscillating movement by means of the brake panels being completely, partially or alternately extended, in and out of the projectile. 
     
     
         2 . The projectile of  claim 1 , wherein the projectile is outfitted with an effect part, where the choice of effect can concern;
 i.) directed explosive effect in the forward direction of the projectile, or   ii.) splinter effect in the radial direction of the projectile.   
     
     
         3 . The projectile of  claim 1 , wherein the brake flaps are affixed to the projectile, in the longitudinal direction of the projectile, in a range between a factor of 0.1 of the caliber of the projectile to a factor 2 of the caliber of the projectile, from the tip of the projectile. 
     
     
         4 . The projectile of  claim 1 , wherein the radial extent of the brake panels relative to the surface of the projectile, in the extended position, is in the range between a factor of 0.1 of the caliber of the projectile to a factor of 1 of the caliber of the projectile. 
     
     
         5 . The projectile of  claim 1 , wherein the width of the brake panels, the extent of the brake flap around the projectile in the outer radius of the projectile, in the extended position, is in an interval between 0.1 of the circumference of the projectile to a factor of 0.5 of the circumference of the projectile. 
     
     
         6 . The projectile of  claim 1 , wherein the position of the brake panels can be varied between a fully extended position and a fully retracted position. 
     
     
         7 . The projectile of  claim 1 , wherein the are arranged with an angle α of between −45 degrees and 45 degrees. 
     
     
         8 . A fuse, to be affixed to a projectile, and intended to be fired from a launching device, where the fuse is outfitted with a target finder and comprises one or several brake panels, wherein the brake panels, after being extended, cause the projectile, where the fuse is mounted on a projectile to end up in a controlled oscillating movement. 
     
     
         9 . The fuse of  claim 8 , wherein the brake flaps are affixed to the fuse, in the longitudinal direction of the fuse, in a range between a factor of 0.1 of the caliber of the projectile to a factor 2 of the caliber of the projectile, from the tip of the fuse. 
     
     
         10 . The fuse of  claim 8 , that wherein the radial extent of the brake panels relative to the surface of the fuse, in the extended position, is in the range between a factor of 0.1 of the caliber of the projectile to a factor of 1 of the caliber of the projectile. 
     
     
         11 . The fuse of  claim 8 , wherein the width of the brake panels, the extent of the brake panel around the fuse in the outer radius of the fuse, in the extended position, is in an interval between 0.1 of the circumference of the fuse to a factor of 0.5 of the circumference at the position on the fuse where the brake panels are arranged. 
     
     
         12 . The fuse of  claim 8 , wherein the position of the brake panels can be varied between a fully extended position and a fully retracted position. 
     
     
         13 . The fuse of  claim 8 , wherein the are arranged with an angle α of between 0.1 degrees and 10 degrees.
