摘要 |
A thrower of at least one flare 20 at very high velocities has, from upstream to downstream in a bore 1, an upstream explosive charge 2, an stream projectile 3, and then at least one propulsive stage 4, the propulsive stages succeeding upstream to downstream in the bore and each being constituted by an explosive charge 5, a projectile 7 downstream of the explosive, and a gap 6 occupied by gas or a vacuum extending between the explosive and the projectile, the projectiles having masses decreasing towards the downstream side and the flares being located on or constituting the furthest downstream projectile 107. The bore 1 may be cylindrical or conical tapering downstream. An obliquely disposed screen 22 may be provided, having openings 24 facing the flares 20. <IMAGE>
