Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for
attacking a target by means of a missile with at least one
shaped charge, the direction of action of which differs
from the direction of flight of the missile, in which the
direction of a jet of the shaped charge is corrected for
the speed of the missile. The invention also relates to a
missile comprising at least one shaped charge arranged
to act in a direction that differs from the direction of flight
of the missile, which shaped charge is provided with a
correction device for correcting the direction of a jet of
the shaped charge based on the different directions of
movement of the missile and the shaped charge jet. A
missile according to the above is well suited, for example,
for attacking the weaker parts of a tank, that is the upper
side.
[0002] In GB 2 006 400 and GB 2 006 935 the introduction of speed compensation of a shaped charge jet
with a direction of action which differs from the direction
of flight of the missile is already known. The speed compensation that is introduced is of the same order of magnitude irrespective of the speed of the missile when it
reaches the target. Such speed compensation achieves
its objectives in the case when the speed of the missile
in the direction of flight remains within a narrow range of
speeds for which the speed compensation has been designed. If, however, the missile is designed to approach
a target with changing speeds in the direction of flight,
its lethality will be greatly lessened outside this narrow
range of speeds.
[0003] From DE 3605579 C, which forms a starting
point for the preamble of independent claims 1 and 8, a
missile is disclosed with at least one shaped charge, the
direction of which differs from the flight direction of the
missile. The jet of the shaped charge is corrected for the
speed of the missile in that the shaped charge is pivotal
in a ball joint.
[0004] The object of the present invention is to achieve
a method that provides the missile with great lethality
within a wide range of speeds, and a missile that has
great lethality within a wide range of speeds.
[0005] The object of the invention is achieved by a missile having the features of the characterizing part of claim
8 and a method characterized in that the direction of the
shaped charge jet is designed to be adjustable relative
to the shaped charge, and by a missile characterized in
that the correction device of the missile is designed to be
able to adjust the direction of the shaped charge jet relative to the shaped charge. By making the speed compensation adjustable, the direction of the missiles
shaped charge jet is adjusted to the speed of the missile,
and good lethality is achieved within a wide range of
speeds of the missile.
[0006] According to the invention, the speed of the missile is measured during its flight towards the target, and
the correction of the direction of the shaped charge jet is
carried out based on the measured speed of the missile.

According to an advantageous embodiment, the speed

of the missile can suitably be obtained by measuring its
acceleration and integrating. The correction can be carried out in one or more steps during the flight of the missile. Alternatively, the correction can be carried out continuously during the flight of the missile. The demands
for precision of correction, reliability, cost, etc, can determine the correction method.
[0007] According to another advantageous method,
the correction is carried out in the missiles launcher before the missile is launched, based on information concerning, among other things, the distance to the target.
The method is based on knowing the missiles speed
pattern relatively well in advance and therefore being
able to pre-set the correction that applies for the speed
of the missile when it reaches the target, as the distance
to the target is known. The speed of the missile does not
therefore need to be measured in this method. In order
to achieve a more reliable correction, further information
can be provided, such as information about the speed of
the target, temperature of the missile or of the launcher,
wind conditions or special characteristics of the weapon.
[0008] The correction device incorporated in the missile can be designed in many ways in order to achieve
the intended correction of the direction of the shaped
charge jet of the missile. Particularly recommended are
the introduction of a movable initiation point, the incorporation of an external movable mask, the division of the
shaped charge into two parts that can move in relation
to each other, the incorporation of a movable shaped
charge cone, the incorporation of a waveguide arranged
in the shaped charge, which waveguide is designed with
a cavity within which an element can be moved.
[0009] Movements of the correction device can similarly be achieved in various ways. Particularly recommended are the introduction of one or more electric motors arranged in the missile, such as stepping motors,
the incorporation of a propulsive element such as gunpowder, the incorporation of magnets or the incorporation
of pneumatic or hydraulic systems.
[0010] Other further developments will be apparent
from the patent claims attached to the description.
[0011] In the following, the invention will be described
in greater detail in exemplified form, with reference to the
attached figures, in which:
Figure 1 shows schematically an example according
to the invention of a missile with speed compensation
of the shaped charge jet.

50

Figures 2a-2e show schematically five different ways

of achieving adjustable speed compensation of the
jet of a shaped charge.
55

Figure 3 shows a further example according to the

invention of a missile with speed compensation of
the shaped charge jet, in which the missile is shown
in an associated launcher and is directed towards a

EP 1 328 769 B1

target.
[0012] The missile 1 shown in Figure 1 comprises a
shaped charge 2 with a shaped charge cone 3 directed
so that the shaped charge jet leaves the missile 1 in a
direction 4 essentially at right angles to the direction of
flight 5 of the missile. In the missile 1 there is a device 6
which records the speed of the missile during the flight.
The speed-recording device can, for example, consist of
an accelerometer with signal integration. Another alternative for measuring the speed is to use a gyro or turbine.
[0013] Figure 2a shows a first example of adjustable
speed compensation. For the shaped charge 2 in this
case, the adjustment is achieved by means of the initiation point 7 of the shaped charge being arranged to be
able to be moved above the tip of the shaped charge
cone 3. Arrows 8-12 indicate the possible movements
that the initiation point 7 can make.
[0014] Figure 2b shows another example of adjustable
speed regulation. In this case, an external mask 13 is
arranged on the outside of the shaped charge 2. By moving the mask 13 relative to the shaped charge 2 in directions that are indicated by the arrows 14-17, adjustment
of the direction of the shaped charge jet is achieved.
[0015] In the embodiment shown in Figure 2c, the
shaped charge 2 is divided with two parts 2.1 and 2.2
with a dividing plane 18 above the shaped charge cone
3. Arrows 19-21 indicate how the partial charge 2a can
be moved in relation to the partial charge 2b.
[0016] The embodiment shown in Figure 2d has a
shaped charge cone 3 that can be moved within the
shaped charge 2. Arrows 22-26 indicate how the shaped
charge cone can be moved.
[0017] In the proposed embodiment according to Figure 2e, the waveguide 27 of the shaped charge is used.
The waveguide is designed with a cavity 28 with a movable element 29 inside the cavity. The movement of the
element 29 is determined by the speed of the missile.
The function of the element 29 is to locally increase the
shock-wave speed in order thereby to create a penetration of the detonation front in the waveguide. The asymmetry created by the element 29 is expected to give a
speed-compensated shaped charge jet. Arrows 30 and
31 indicate how the element 29 and the waveguide 27
can move.
[0018] It can be pointed out here that the embodiments
according to the Figures 2a-2d also normally comprise
waveguides. As these waveguides have no particular effect on the adjustable correction of the shaped charge
jet, they have been omitted in the figures.
[0019] The movements described with reference to the
Figures 2a-2e can be achieved in many ways. For example, an electric motor can be used, and for correction
in steps a stepping motor is particularly suitable. It is also
possible to use some form of propulsive element, for example a powder charge. Movement can also be achieved
by means of (electro-)magnets. Other methods of achieving movement can be based on pneumatics or hydrau-

lics.
[0020] In the following, a further embodiment of the
missile 1 is described, where the correction that is to be
introduced into the missiles shaped charge jet is set before launching, that is when the missile is inside the
launcher 32 from which it is to be fired.
[0021] Figure 3 shows an operator 33 who is aiming
the weapon at a target 34 in the form, for example, of a
tank. The operator uses a range-finder 35 arranged on
the outside of the launcher 32. The missile 1 is inside the
launcher 32 and comprises a shaped charge 2. The
range-finder 35, which can be independent, provides information about the distance to the target 34 and may
also measure the targets speed. There can be equipment in the missile 1 or its launcher 32 for measuring
temperature. A wind-speed meter and a timer can also
be included. In the figure, the equipment for measuring
temperature and wind and the timer are shown contained
in a common housing 36.
[0022] The weapon works as follows. When the operator aims at the target, information is obtained about at
least the distance to the target. Based on the distance
information and any other information, for example as
above, the speed of the missile when it approaches the
target can be estimated and hence the correction of the
direction of the shaped charge can be adjusted before
launching. The above applies on the assumption that the
speed of the missile as a function of the distance covered
is known. The processing of the available information
and the estimation of the speed can be carried out in a
processing unit 37 housed in the missile 1. When the
missile leaves the launcher, the shaped charge is thus
adjusted to provide the optimal lethality.

described above, but can be modified within the scope
of the following patent claims.
