Abstract

The invention relates to a method for reducing an imbalance of a projectile shell. The projectile shell has a body (1) which has a recess (4). By this recess (4), the body is provided with an inner wall (2) and an outer wall (3). In addition, a mouth hole (6) is provided, which is connected to the recess (4). A central axis (5) is now calculated from the outer geometrical shape of the projectile shell and a measurement is then performed to ascertain an imbalance of the projectile shell. On the basis of the measured imbalance, modified axis (8) is then calculated in relation to the central axis (5), and the body (1) is rotated about the modified axis (8) on the basis of the calculated modified axis (8). As the body (1) is rotated in this way, the projectile shell is machined to eliminate the imbalance as far as possible.

To reduce the mass of a sabot having a pull and a push function, it is proposed that the sabot comprise mutually separate sabot parts, wherein at least one sabot part is configured such that it performs the pull function and at least one sabot part is configured such that it performs the push function. The sabot parts are nested. This can be implemented in the form of cylindrical nesting or in the form of tangential nesting. In the case of the cylindrical nesting, the outer sabot part encloses the inner sabot part along an interface. In the case of the tangential nesting, the sabot parts are divided into sabot subsegments. The latter are nested in alternating fashion in the tangential direction such that a pull-sabot subsegment and a push-sabot subsegment are nested in alternating fashion in the circumferential direction. To provide sufficient sealing, the sabot subsegments overlap one another.

Abstract

A weapon system that includes a breechblock, which is formed at least by a breechblock carrier and a breechblock head, the breechblock carrier being designed so as to carry the breechblock head. To achieve the fact that forces acting upon the breechblock drive during the unlocking of the breechblock and the withdrawal of a cartridge casing are minimized or even eliminated, the breechblock head is freely movable relative to the breechblock carrier. To separate the breechblock with a breechblock drive of the weapon system during the recoil of the recoiling masses of the weapon system, a device is designed in such a way that a mechanical separation takes place between the breechblock and the breechblock drive during the recoil of the recoiling masses of the weapon system. During the forward motion of the recoiling masses, the mechanical connection between the breechblock drive and the breechblock is reestablished via the device.

Abstract

In order to ensure that forces acting on a breech drive when unlocking the breech and pulling out a cartridge case are reduced or even eliminated, a breech of a weapon system is proposed which is formed at least by one breech carrier and one breech head and the breech carrier supports the breech head. The breech carrier and the breech head can be mechanically separated from one another. This separability is achieved in that a control case which has at least one control cam is inserted in the breech carrier. In addition, the breech head has a control bolt which engages in the control cam of the control case and can be guided in it. This measure ensures that the forces acting upon the recoil of the weapon cannot act on the breech drive.

Abstract

A method is presented for operating a laser radiation device (10) which comprises an illumination laser (14) and an active laser (13), wherein the illumination laser (14) is operated in a first mode of operation of the laser radiation device (10), in which the active laser (13) does not emit any active laser radiation (20), in such a way that the illumination laser radiation (22) of the illumination laser exhibits a first illumination laser radiant flux. The method is distinguished in that the illumination laser (14) is operated in a second mode of operation of the laser radiation device (10), in which the active laser (13) emits active laser radiation (20), in such a way that the illumination laser radiation (22) of the illumination laser exhibits a second illumination laser radiant flux which is greater than the first illumination laser radiant flux.
