Description
Le domaine technique de l'invention est celui des projectiles sous-calibrés et en particulier des projectiles sous-calibrés de type obus flèches de gros calibre (calibre supérieur à 75 mm).The technical field of the invention is that of sub-caliber projectiles and in particular sub-caliber projectiles of the large caliber arrow shell type (caliber greater than 75 mm).
Les projectiles sous-calibrés (ou projectiles flèches) sont bien connus. Ils sont constitués d'un barreau en matériau perforant, doté d'une partie avant conique, et portant un empennage de stabilisation.Under-caliber projectiles (or arrow projectiles) are well known. They are made of a bar of perforating material, equipped with a conical front part, and carrying a stabilizing tail.
Le barreau a un calibre bien inférieur à celui de l'arme qui tire le projectile (barreau de diamètre 25 à 30 mm pour un calibre d'arme de 120 mm).The bar has a caliber much lower than that of the weapon which fires the projectile (bar with a diameter of 25 to 30 mm for a weapon caliber of 120 mm).
Le tir est rendu possible grâce à un sabot au calibre de l'arme qui libère le barreau à la sortie du tube de l'arme.The shot is made possible thanks to a sabot in the caliber of the weapon which releases the bar at the exit of the weapon tube.
Cette configuration classique permet d'obtenir une vitesse de barreau particulièrement importante (de l'ordre de 1700 mètres par seconde pour un barreau flèche tiré par une arme de 120mm de calibre). Les brevets
La vitesse importante qui leur est communiquée ainsi que la masse du barreau donnent aux barreaux une très grande capacité de perforation des blindages.The high speed communicated to them as well as the mass of the bar give the bars a very high armor piercing capacity.
Cependant les barreaux des flèches sont aujourd'hui confrontés à des systèmes de protection active qui agissent par effet de souffle. Les véhicules équipés de tels systèmes de protection projettent ainsi vers le barreau une grenade qui incorpore un explosif de type thermobarique.However, the boom bars are today faced with active protection systems which act by blast effect. Vehicles equipped with such protection systems thus project a grenade which incorporates a thermobaric type explosive towards the bar.
Le souffle intense qu'engendre une telle grenade va agir sur le projectile cinétique et le dévier de sa trajectoire, réduisant ainsi son efficacité perforante.The intense blast generated by such a grenade will act on the kinetic projectile and deflect it from its trajectory, thus reducing its piercing effectiveness.
L'action de ces grenades thermobariques s'exerce essentiellement sur l'empennage du projectile flèche dont l'envergure est pratiquement le triple du calibre du barreau.The action of these thermobaric grenades is mainly exerted on the tail of the arrow projectile, the span of which is practically three times the caliber of the bar.
On connaît par ailleurs par le brevet
Un tel projectile sous calibré d'exercice dans lequel l'empennage est séparé du barreau sur trajectoire est également décrit par le brevet
On connaît aussi par le brevet
C'est le but de l'invention selon la revendication 1 que de proposer un projectile sous calibré qui n'est pas ou peu perturbé par les protections modernes à effet de souffle.It is the aim of the invention according to
L'invention selon la revendication 8 propose également un procédé de neutralisation d'un objectif en mettant en oeuvre un tel projectile.The invention according to
Ainsi l'invention a pour objet un projectile sous calibré de type flèche configuré pour neutraliser un objectif, projectile comportant un barreau perforant entouré par un sabot réalisé en matériau léger et permettant le tir du projectile dans une arme, barreau qui est prolongé par un empennage stabilisateur, l'empennage étant relié au barreau par un moyen de liaison pouvant être rompu, la rupture étant initiée par un moyen de commande solidaire du projectile, projectile caractérisé en ce que le moyen de commande comprend un module chronométrique relié à une interface de programmation et qui est programmé avant tir ou lors du tir de façon à assurer la rupture du moyen de liaison à une distance de référence par rapport à l'objectif qui est configurée pour la neutralisation de l'objectif.Thus the subject of the invention is an under-calibrated arrow-type projectile configured to neutralize an objective, a projectile comprising a perforating bar surrounded by a sabot made of light material and allowing the projectile to be fired into a weapon, a bar which is extended by a stabilizing tail, the tail being connected to the bar by a connecting means that can be broken, the break being initiated by a control means secured to the projectile, projectile characterized in that the control means comprises a chronometric module connected to a control interface programming and which is programmed before firing or during firing so as to ensure the rupture of the connecting means at a reference distance relative to the objective which is configured for the neutralization of the objective.
Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, la distance de référence pourra être inférieure à 200 mètres.According to a particular embodiment, the reference distance may be less than 200 meters.
Avantageusement la distance de référence pourra être inférieure à 100 mètres.Advantageously, the reference distance could be less than 100 meters.
Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, l'interface de programmation est une interface de programmation par fil.According to a particular embodiment, the programming interface is a wired programming interface.
Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, l'interface de programmation est une interface de programmation par induction.According to a particular embodiment, the programming interface is an induction programming interface.
Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, l'interface de programmation est une interface de programmation par radio fréquence.According to a particular embodiment, the programming interface is a radio frequency programming interface.
Selon une variante, le projectile pourra comporter une charge explosive dont le déclenchement assurera la rupture du moyen de liaison et le projectile pourra également comporter un dispositif de sécurité et d'armement interposé entre la charge explosive et le moyen de commande.According to a variant, the projectile may include an explosive charge whose triggering will ensure the rupture of the connecting means and the projectile may also include a safety and arming device interposed between the explosive charge and the control means.
L'invention a également pour objet un procédé de neutralisation d'un objectif en mettant en oeuvre un tel projectile sous calibré ainsi qu'un système d'arme pouvant tirer ce projectile et équipé d'une conduite de tir, procédé caractérisé par les étapes suivantes :
- on réalise une télémétrie de l'objectif à partir du système d'arme équipé d'un moyen de télémétrie ;
- on calcule un instant de déclenchement de la rupture du moyen de liaison tel que cette rupture intervienne à une distance de référence de l'objectif ;
- on programme avant tir ou lors du tir le module chronométrique du moyen de commande du projectile avec cet instant de déclenchement.
- telemetry of the objective is carried out from the weapon system equipped with a telemetry means;
- we calculate a triggering moment for the rupture of the connecting means such that this break occurs at a reference distance from the objective;
- the chronometric module of the projectile control means is programmed before firing or during firing with this triggering instant.
Avantageusement, la distance de référence pourra être modifiable.Advantageously, the reference distance can be modified.

La
Le barreau est en acier ou bien en un alliage dense à base de tungstène.The bar is made of steel or a dense tungsten-based alloy.
Le barreau comporte une partie avant 3a conique et porte à sa partie arrière 3b un empennage 4 assurant sa stabilisation sur trajectoire.The bar has a conical front part 3a and carries at its
Le sabot porte une ceinture 5, réalisée en matière plastique, et qui assure l'étanchéité aux gaz propulsifs lors du tir dans le tube d'une arme (non représenté).The sabot carries a
Lors du tir, les gaz du chargement propulsif (non représenté) exercent leur poussée au niveau d'une partie arrière 6 du sabot qui est au calibre et qui constitue ce qu'on appelle la plaque de poussée.When firing, the gases of the propellant charge (not shown) exert their thrust at a part rear 6 of the shoe which is in caliber and which constitutes what is called the thrust plate.
Une telle configuration générale d'un projectile sous calibré stabilisé par empennage (projectile flèche) est bien connue. On pourra notamment considérer les brevets
Le sabot 2 est destiné à permettre le tir du projectile dans l'arme. Il est constitué de plusieurs segments (le plus souvent trois) qui entourent le barreau 3 et qui sont en contact deux à deux au niveau de plans de joints.The
A la sortie du tube de l'arme les segments du sabot 2 s'écartent du barreau 3 sous l'action de la pression aérodynamique qui s'exerce au niveau de la partie avant (AV) du sabot 2.At the exit of the weapon tube, the segments of the
L'écartement des segments conduit à la rupture de la ceinture 5 et le sabot libère donc le barreau 3 qui poursuit sa trajectoire.The spacing of the segments leads to the rupture of the
Des moyens à concordance de forme (non représentés), par exemple un filetage, sont interposés entre le sabot 2 et le barreau 3 pour assurer l'entraînement de ce dernier.Shape-matching means (not shown), for example a thread, are interposed between the
La
On voit que l'empennage 4 est lié au barreau 3 par un moyen de liaison L qui est ici de type liaison filetage/taraudage. A cet effet le corps tubulaire 4a de l'empennage 4 comporte un logement taraudé 8 qui s'engage sur une partie filetée 7 du barreau.We see that the
Le corps 4a de l'empennage renferme également, en arrière du logement taraudé 8, une charge explosive 9 qui peut être initiée par une amorce (non représentée) qui est incorporée dans un dispositif de sécurité et d'armement 10.The
Le dispositif de sécurité et d'armement 10 n'est pas représenté en détails. De tels composants sont classiques et permettent d'assurer les sécurités pyrotechniques lors des stockages et manipulations du projectile. Ils assurent un désalignement de la chaîne pyrotechnique au cours de ces phases et provoquent l'alignement de la chaîne lorsque les conditions d'un tir effectif sont réunies.The security and arming
Compte tenu des dimensions réduites du corps tubulaire 4a, on pourra avantageusement réaliser le dispositif de sécurité et d'armement 10 suivant les technologies micro usinées. Dans de tels dispositifs les pièces sont microusinées ou micro gravées sur une plaquette d'un substrat, par exemple d'un substrat isolant. Cette technologie connue sous le nom de MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) permet aujourd'hui de réaliser des micro mécanismes en mettant en oeuvre une technique proche de celle permettant de réaliser les circuits intégrés électroniques.Taking into account the reduced dimensions of the
On pourra par exemple consulter les brevets :
Le dispositif de sécurité et d'armement 10 est relié à un moyen de commande 11 qui est un moyen électronique comprenant un module chronométrique 11a qui est programmé avant tir ou lors du tir.The safety and arming
La programmation pourra être réalisée par l'intermédiaire d'une interface de programmation 12 qui est logée à l'arrière de l'empennage 4 et qui est reliée au moyen de commande 11, par exemple par une liaison filaire 13.Programming can be carried out via a
L'interface de programmation 12 pourra être constituée par exemple par une bobine permettant une programmation à distance, par induction, lors du chargement de la munition.The
L'interface de programmation 12 pourra être alternativement une simple bague conductrice qui est reliée au culot de la munition (non représenté) par un fil traversant la charge propulsive pour permettre une programmation par contact une fois la munition dans la chambre de l'arme.The
L'interface de programmation 12 pourra enfin être un capteur radio fréquence (ou une antenne) configuré pour recevoir un signal de programmation par voie hertzienne (par exemple dans la gamme des fréquences de 2 GHz à 5 GHz).The
On notera que, lorsque l'interface de programmation 12 est inductive ou par contact, la programmation se fait avant le tir, alors que lorsque l'interface 12 est formée par une antenne radio fréquence, la programmation peut au choix être faite avant le tir ou lors du tir.It will be noted that, when the
Le moyen de commande 11 est maintenu à distance de l'arrière de l'empennage 4 par une entretoise 14. On pourra prévoir un traceur T logé en arrière de l'entretoise 14.The control means 11 is kept at a distance from the rear of the
Le moyen de commande 11 est défini de façon à assurer la rupture du moyen de liaison L à une distance, dite de référence Ref, de l'objectif visé que l'on cherche à neutraliser. La rupture est assurée par le déclenchement de la charge explosive 9. Cette distance de référence dépend des caractéristiques du système de protection active qui équipe l'objectif.The control means 11 is defined so as to ensure the rupture of the connection means L at a distance, called reference distance Ref, from the target objective that we seek to neutralize. The rupture is ensured by the triggering of the explosive charge 9. This reference distance depends on the characteristics of the active protection system which equips the objective.
D'une façon générale la distance de référence pourra être choisie inférieure à 200 mètres et encore préférentiellement inférieure à 100 mètres. Mais avantageusement on pourra modifier cette distance de référence pour tenir compte des caractéristiques du système de protection active de l'objectif rencontré, système de protection dont le temps de réaction aura pu par exemple être mesuré par un observateur.Generally speaking, the reference distance could be chosen less than 200 meters and even preferably less than 100 meters. But advantageously we can modify this reference distance to take into account the characteristics of the active protection system of the objective encountered, a protection system whose reaction time could, for example, have been measured by an observer.
Le but est de provoquer la rupture du moyen de liaison L suffisamment tard pour que la stabilisation du barreau ne soit pas perturbée et suffisamment tôt pour que le système de protection active ne puisse agir sur le barreau équipé de son empennage.The aim is to cause the connection means L to break sufficiently late so that the stabilization of the bar is not disrupted and early enough so that the active protection system cannot act on the bar equipped with its tail.

Tout d'abord (
Les conduites de tir et les moyens de télémétrie sont des moyens classiques qui équipent tous les véhicules de combat équipés d'un système d'arme S susceptible de tirer des projectiles sous calibrés (par exemple un canon lisse de 120mm à 140mm de calibre).Fire control and telemetry means are classic means which equip all combat vehicles equipped with a weapon system S capable of firing under-calibrated projectiles (for example a smooth-bore cannon of 120mm to 140mm caliber).
La distance Δ entre les deux véhicules est donc déterminée. La conduite de tir du véhicule est alors capable de calculer le temps de vol du barreau 3 jusqu'au véhicule V2, les caractéristiques de balistique du projectile sont en effet connues et incorporées dans des tables de tir.The distance Δ between the two vehicles is therefore determined. The fire control of the vehicle is then capable of calculating the flight time of the
La conduite de tir est capable de déterminer l'instant T2 sur trajectoire auquel le barreau 3 va entrer dans une zone Z entourant le véhicule V2, zone Z ayant un rayon qui est égal à la distance de référence Ref choisie par l'opérateur et qui pourra éventuellement être modifiée par ce dernier. Ici la distance de référence choisie est de l'ordre de 100 mètres.The fire control is capable of determining the instant T2 on the trajectory at which the
C'est cet instant T2 qui est l'instant de déclenchement programmé avant tir ou lors du tir dans le module chronométrique 11a.It is this instant T2 which is the programmed trigger instant before firing or during firing in the
La
- à l'instant
T1 le barreau 3 est sur sa trajectoire normale et il comporteson empennage stabilisateur 4. Le dispositif de sécurité et d'armement 10 s'est armé comme suite au tir ; - à l'instant T2 le barreau 3 entre dans la zone Z. Le moyen de commande 11 commande la rupture du moyen de liaison L entre le barreau 3
et l'empennage 4.
- at time T1 the
bar 3 is on its normal trajectory and it includes its stabilizingtail 4. The safety and armingdevice 10 is armed following the shot; - at the instant T2 the
bar 3 enters the zone Z. The control means 11 controls the rupture of the connecting means L between thebar 3 and thetail 4.
Après la rupture du moyen de liaison L, le barreau 3 poursuit sa trajectoire jusqu'au véhicule V2. La distance qui lui reste à couvrir est suffisamment réduite pour qu'il n'y ait pas de déstabilisation du barreau du fait de la perte de l'empennage 4.After the rupture of the connecting means L, the
L'empennage 4 suit alors sa trajectoire propre et s'éloigne du barreau 3.The
Le véhicule V2 est équipé d'un moyen de défense active D projetant des grenades à effet de souffle. Ce moyen se trouve inefficace contre le barreau 3 dépourvu de son empennage qui atteint donc le véhicule sans être dévié et avec ses capacités de perforation maximales. Les moyens de défense D n'auront une efficacité que contre l'empennage 4 seul.The V2 vehicle is equipped with an active defense means D projecting blast grenades. This means is ineffective against the
On notera que, du fait de l'éjection de l'empennage, les capacités de perforation du barreau sont également augmentées.Note that, due to the ejection of the tail, the perforation capacities of the bar are also increased.
On notera également que l'éjection de l'empennage est assimilable à l'éjection d'un leurre susceptible d'attirer vers lui le dispositif de défense active D. Il est donc probable que les grenades thermobariques seront projetées vers l'empennage et non vers le barreau lui-même.It should also be noted that the ejection of the tail is comparable to the ejection of a decoy likely to attract the active defense device D towards it. It is therefore probable that the thermobaric grenades will be projected towards the tail and not towards the bar itself.
Claims (9)
- - A sub-caliber projectile (1) of the kinetic energy type configured to neutralize a target (V2), the projectile comprising a perforating rod (3) surrounded by a sabot (2) made of light material and allowing the projectile to be fired from a weapon, the rod (3) being extended by a stabilizing tail (4), the tail being connected to the rod (3) by a connection means (L) which can be broken, the breaking being initiated by a control means (11) integral with the projectile, the projectile being characterised in that the control means (11) comprises a timing module (11a) connected to a programming interface (12) and which is configured to be programmed before firing or during firing so as to ensure the breaking of the connection means (L) at a reference distance (Ref) relative to the target (V2) that is configured for neutralization of the target.
- - The sub-caliber projectile according to claim 1, characterised in that the reference distance (Ref) is less than 200 meters.
