Weapon system for projectiles containing a wounding charge

摘要

The technical field of the invention is that of weapon systems comprising an aimable weapon for launching projectiles containing a wounding charge. This weapon system is constituted by an aimable weapon 1 for launching projectiles containing a wounding charge and a fire control associated with the weapon. The projectiles are fitted with a programmable timed fuse allowing a functioning which is delayed from the start of the shot. The fire control comprises a means 4 of measuring the weapon-target distance, associated with a means 5 of measuring the initial speed of the projectiles and a computer integrating the initial typical speed of the projectile for the first shot, and then the average initial speed resulting from measurements of initial speeds of n-1 shots, for the purposes of programming the functioning delay of the fuse of the projectile n. Application to weapon systems comprising a gun shooting projectiles along a flat trajectory. <IMAGE>
