Guidable projectile for combating re-entry warheads - has hot gas generator drive material, extending as large dia. central core over essential part of projectile length and carrying shrapnel

摘要

The guidable projectile has a cylindrical core of drive material for a hot gas generator for cross impulse nozzles over the greater part of its length which has a thin layer of explosive for shrapnel in or under the projectile casing, through which the nozzles with their control devices radially project. The hot gas drive material with explosive extends between electrical devices in the rear and at the peak of the projectile. Several rings with nozzles including their control equipment are provided in axially counterposed, displaced cross-sectional planes, of which one runs through the projectile centre of gravity. USE/ADVANTAGE - In military applications, to destroy reentry warheads.
