Anti-aircraft projectile with base, high-explosive body, and ogive

摘要

An anti-aircraft projectile for intercepting flying objects, such as aircraft and missiles, includes three independent zones which can be coupled to one another and which respectively form a base, a high-explosive body and an ogive. The base includes a bourrelet and has a recess which forms a skirt provided with bypass holes. The high-explosive body is formed by a pair of concentric cylinders wherebetween there is formed a chamber in which are disposed steel balls or spheres which fill the chamber. Both cylinders are coupled at the corresponding ends thereof to both the base and the ogive.
