Method and device for transmitting energy to a projectile

摘要

Inductive or capacitive transmission of energy to a projectile is disclosed. A waveguide can be used to transmit the energy, the electric field being concentrated in the waveguide. The thus used energy transfer system includes at least one waveguide which is arranged or integrated in the region of the muzzle, for example between a muzzle brake and a gun barrel. A transmission coupler for transmission is fed by a signal generator. The projectile comprises at least one sensor which captures the signal and a store in the projectile is charged. Assemblies of the system are used for a V0 measurement as well as to program the projectile.

主权项

1. A method for transmitting energy to a projectile during passage of the projectile through a gun barrel or muzzle brake, via an energy transmission system, the method comprising:
impressing a frequency produced by a signal generator for the energy transmission on the projectile during its passage, charging, via the impressing, the projectile with energy; and performing the impressing entirely during passage through a waveguide that is operated below a cutoff frequency of an applicable waveguide mode.
