In Germany created ammunition with variable power

German developers from TDW have created and have already experienced a fundamentally new technology for changing the power of ammunition, reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta with reference to the resource Defense Aerospace.

According to the newspaper, the term "power" means "the power of destruction or the area of ​​fragmentation damage" from ammunition.

The 2 projectile was tested at the test site. On one, the power was set to 10%, on the other - to 100%. “Ammunition produced absolutely different destruction,” writes the resource.

Details of the test are not reported in order to maintain secrecy.

“The development is called RADIUS and allows depending on the goals and objectives of the combat operation to instantly change the power of the projectile. Such universality will allow in the future to have only one weapon for any type of combat missions instead of a whole “wagon” of bulky artillery, ”the resource notes.

It is also reported that the company plans to introduce its development "in all types of ammunition from missiles to mines."

All the same, they will be exposed to 100%. And if you suddenly need a "moderate" shot, it will be a rarity. Drive a tank on tasks that a modern BMP can solve? So I join the skeptics, in this area we should not chase the Germans, let them lead.

[theadenter]

Setting it to 100% - it’s easier not to switch to adjustable shells at all, but to use just less powerful shells when the situation requires it. The static power of the shell inspires me more confidence than the dynamic.

Well, what if this function is just an "addition" to the smart fuse programmed in the barrel at the moment of firing? (by time or height plus radius). For example, undermining OVER the target .... You need to take a closer look.

I have the same opinion. Suppose you need to throw a shell in the window of the house so that the house is safe and the enemies are dead, but I think it is better to throw a shell in the window so that everyone is beaten there, and whoever survives, let him bury it under the rubble of this house. It would be better to rebuild the house than to dig the grave of your soldier!

Imagine a plane taking off on a combat flight with ammunition with a power of 1 tone of TNT equivalent with a radius of destruction of 500 meters. Suddenly a target appears that needs to be destroyed but a civilian object is located in a radius of 400 meters. If you reduce the power, then theoretically the radius of destruction will decrease.

Under certain conditions, many mixed explosives are capable of moving from convective combustion (deflagration) to detonation. This is facilitated by the high pressure of the process, a large mass of the composition, a strong body, the negative oxygen balance of the composition, and a number of other factors. The presence of transition metal compounds in mixed explosives, on the contrary, increases the tendency to transition detonation into deflagration, which is associated with the catalytic effect of transition metal compounds on the oxidation of the fuel components of the mixture during convective combustion. To prevent the transition of detonation to deflagration, use is made of: additives of individual blasting explosives, increasing the loading density, the use of water-filled explosives, the use of powerful detonators, observing the critical diameter of detonation during charge formation.
Combustion and detonation. Chemistry and chemical technology in life.

They gain explosives in sections that are prone to detonation and deflagration, set the appropriate number of fuses, activate a certain amount of firing at the required power before firing.

Nothing too demonic. Traditional "gloomy German genius".

Well, maybe there is some kind of chemical detonator. that part of the substance that was exposed to the detonator explodes. The rest just shatters into dust and that's it.

I was more inspired by the development of the Pike mini-missile for firing from a grenade launcher, laser-controlled range of over 2 km

[hydrox]

Something similar was invented and used by the Russians in the defense of Port Arthur :: a mortar based on the Mosin rifle (though without a laser), but this munition performed the role of the shrapnel shell.

[2s1122]

With dimensions of 620 by 40mm and TTX "Pike" will be used in a limited way, in anti-terror or special forces. An expensive toy with laser guidance. Also, they will be equipped with adjustable spread of striking elements, but in a limited volume. This is a normal tendency at the moment.

There is such an expression - "From a cannon to sparrows." It sounds concrete here. Throwing 20 kg of TNT over 10 kilometers and detonating one of them - this can only be thought of from purely experimental considerations. In addition, if, for example, a UAZ is standing between two tanks with gasoline and it needs to be destroyed, but the gasoline is not, then only the most impassable commander will hit it with a direct fire from a howitzer at 10% power. To accomplish such tasks, there are various types of weapons, various ammunition for them and various tactics for their use.

In general, the Germans are doing some nonsense from the series "British scientists have established ...". Now let's laugh at "German gunsmiths invented ..."? All the well-deserved fame of Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen, Gebrüder Mauser, Sauer & Sohn and others flies into the stump from such "developments" ...

[Throw]

In general, it is called "swing for a ruble, a blow for a penny"

Perhaps a decrease in power will be in demand for controlled / corrected PSUs, when 2-3 needs to be carefully picked up with two shots.

But for conventional cannon artillery, which does not work single on point, but with volleys of batteries over the entire "face of the face" - this is meaningless. It should be moderate - one volley, full - five or more volleys at MRSI.

But, in my opinion, questions arise about the cost of such a supply. If the target does not require a lot of killing for destruction, then spend a relatively expensive toy on it ... Ahhhhh !!! I realized - if you fight with enemies (friends), as America is fighting ISIS, then such a thing is a drop dead! You say that I’m fighting the adversary, you’ll show what your bombshell is, you drop it on the enemy’s camera, it’s kind of falling ...

[FIREMAN]

Mass, power, power ... and now power

I didn’t want to give you a "-" respected PiP, but if you study the relevant literature:

The power of ammunition
an indicator of the effectiveness of its action on the target. For example, the power of HE shells is determined by the area of ​​the destruction zone; armor-piercing - the thickness of penetrated armor at a given angle of meeting; fragmentation - the area of ​​the reduced area of ​​fragmentation damage, determined by the number, mass and speed of expansion of the fragments; for all shells - the probability of hitting the target.
Glossary of military terms. - M .: Military Publishing. Comp. A. M. Plekhov, S. G. Shapkin .. 1988.

Somehow this definition has already been given

[PiP]

So I never mind cons if they are reasoned Thanks for the clarification. It would NOT be bad if the admins inserted such explanations into the text - "in order to avoid so to speak" (c) But all the same, I'll turn on the "D" switch. The nature of this "power" lies in physics,

indicator of the effectiveness of its action on the target

... For me, this "magnitude" (power) is not clear. Those. I can equate this "power" with the destructive ability?

[FIREMAN]

Striking ability is not quite power. The power of the projectile’s effect on the target, ceteris paribus, usually depends on the properties of the explosive and its mass. For high-explosive ammunition, the explosive power and its mass determine its effect on the target (high-explosive bomb FAB-250) - pure power. In ammunition of a different type, the mass of the explosive charge is determined by other requirements (for example, a cumulative grenade, a MON-50 mine with ready-made striking elements). In fragmentation munitions with a cast-iron shell (mortar mine, F-1 grenade), the use of powerful explosives is impractical, since many fragments are formed that do not have the necessary destructive ability.

Thank. In tyrnet identity nadybal info:

Fragmentation is characterized by three indicators:
kinetic energy of a fragment (penetrating ability or power each fragment upon impact or interaction with a target, an obstacle);

V.M. Pleskachevsky introduces a classification of items related to individual explosive weapons. In the proposed classification, without an in-depth structural analysis of structural features, WUs of high and low damage are distinguished. In our opinion, the author does not make a difference between the power of the VU and the level of its striking ability. High (low) striking ability characterizes the effectiveness of the WU or ammunition relative to its action on the target. For example, obtaining a minimum charge mass due to the design features of the VU for breaking through barriers of a given thickness and strength. WU power implies it power relative to the size of the area or volume of destruction (damage)

This is cyclical ...

Your will, comrades, but it seems to me that pampering all this.

"The Power of Ammunition"!
It remains to introduce the term "exclusivity of ammunition" into circulation.

[Averias]

From the point of view of the specifics of combat operations (well, there is a targeted strike, to get through the window, "to zhahnut stand alone without touching the herd") is probably convenient. But that's what confused me, because the ammunition itself was initially 100% power, and only then you can turn it to a smaller one, right? And if so, then the production and cost of this ammunition will be as much as 100%. Plus, the price increase due to the "cunning" fuse. I was also interested in the question of the detonation of the rest of the charge. On a vskidku, it turns out that there will be a 2-component mixture inside? As in a movie, the two vessels mixed and burst out. But the main thing here is the initial 100% power of the ammunition. It turns out that it jumped at 20% of the power, the rest to the "wind"? It’s over the top, and only with German pragmatism.

Here the Germans propose to pragmatically calculate costs and comparable damage. They are positioning ammunition of regulated explosion power as an effective means of fighting terrorists while minimizing damage to the "environment" (urban and industrial infrastructure, civilians, etc.).
The question is - how much will all this be really effective in combat conditions? Will they be able to count and compare? Is the intelligence data reliable?
Py.Sy. Once I got to the dental clinic, got into a chair and the doctor and assistant sat down close to the chair. Both gloves are pulled. Well, that’s it, I think, the arctic fox, has gotten into four hands, all the teeth are pulled out. It was not there. The assistant grabbed the calculator, not the tool. The doctor will do something, and the assistant on the calculator is pecking like crazy, pumping babos from my wallet for every napkin, eyedropper and all-all-all ... Everything was torn out of the wallet. And another 100 rubles should remain! The more I go to that clinic ...

I will continue the "genius of thought" of the developers. Let them install their know-how on intercontinental missiles. An obvious plus is that different charges can be launched from the same installations. There is no need to spend money on the production of small aircraft and ammunition for them

Technologies for changing the power of a nuclear charge exist since the early 1960s. Launched production warheads with the option of detonation include the B61 family of bombs, as well as B83 (the main type of US bombs), W80 and W84 (mounted on cruise missiles, including the Tomahawk), W85 (installed on Pershing II air defense missile system, currently approx. 120 units mounted on B61 bombs), WE177A (UK production). The ASMP-A aviation tactical missile, deployed on Rafale F3 aircraft, has a TN81 100-300 kt warhead (France).
In the USSR, nuclear charges of variable explosive power were also developed and tested.
Are they in service in the Russian Federation -?

And why ammunition needs different power options? It doesn’t matter that in Belaz a bag of cargo is taken from a quarry, not a full body.

It is especially pleasing that the phlegmatization of explosives in ammunition does not entail a simultaneous reduction in cost. Can you imagine how to shoot with the power of the 982-mm projectile "Bushmaster" with a sort of analogue of the M150 Excalibur for 25 kilo-bucks?

In physics, something new discovered? Mass, power, power ... and now power

This is a standard professional term for ammunition warheads, primarily artillery shells. I quote an example: "Shot 3VBM-17 (index of the projectile 3BM-42; index of the projectile with a propelling charge 3BM-44) (p / in 1986) was developed within the framework of the R&D theme" Mango ", opened in 1983. defeat of modern multilayer armored barriers. "
I often met in the literature of Rosoboronexport in the description of Soviet / Russian BOPS as "a projectile of increased power."

Soviet / Russian BOPS as a "high-power projectile".

I wrote a little higher

For me, this "magnitude" (power) is not clear. Those. I can equate this "power" with the destructive ability?

I have not come across in my life such a definition as "power" (after reading about it, I thought about it), it seems that all the parameters in its definition speak of the EFFICIENCY of the destructive ability ... In this case, these words are synonymous. This means that we learned "from different books" (c)

Such versatility will allow in the future to have only one weapon for any type of combat missions instead of a whole "train" of bulky artillery "

Well, if this instrument is covered, then all of these shells or ammunition with changing power will be thrown by hand ?! Or from a slingshot !!!

In order not to shoot a sparrow from a cannon

On sparrows, however, it is easier to shoot from a slingshot ... IMHO

One must be very wasteful in order to do this. Fuganul by 10%, and 90 where? To the landfill?

[yuriy55]

I liked the positive humor of the article. And also:

Details of the test are not reported in order to maintain secrecy.

After creating ammunition with variable power in turn, the creation of cartridges with adaptable penetrability, as well as airplanes with modifiable agility, tanks with convertible all-terrain vehicles, ships with invertible immutability and missiles with transformable imperceptibility ...

[Victor-M]

German developers from TDW created and already tested fundamentally new technology for changing the power of ammunition, reports the Russian newspaper with reference to the resource Defense Aerospace.

[Vladimir65]

What they won’t do to please the Americans. Now, moderate terrorists in Syria can be eliminated using moderate charges with a capacity of 10%, and real (frostbitten) charges of 100%. And the sheep are safe and the wolves are full.
