ROUND FOR DESTROYING PROJECTILES CLOSE TO A DEFENDED OBJECT

摘要

The invention relates to munitions with a warhead having a shell with cuts to provide for its uniform fragmentation or containing multiple individual killing elements and is useful in self-defending a vehicle, preferably a tank. Munition of the invention comprises a defensive round with its body of preferably box-type shape with an explosive charge configured as a rectangular biconcave lens with its front side covered by a bullet-forming lining increasing in thickness towards the bottom and having intersecting cuts to form pyramid-shaped plates fastened together. The round's body has a groove with a tapered plate. Furthermore, the munition incorporates a case with a propellant charge, a wire communication line and a barrel-container. The attacking ammunition is defeated in close proximity to the object defended. Commands to eject and detonate the munition are given from the self-defence control system via the communication line. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
