Abstract: A method for combating a submerged target object through the intermediary of an active body which is deployable in an airborne mode, and which picks up a sonar contact with the target object from a helically descending searching trajectory below the water level. Also disclosed is an arrangement for combating a submerged target object, especially a double-hulled submarine, through the intermediary of an active body deployable in an airborne mode which is equipped with a sonar installation and with guidance media for the traversing of a helical gliding search trajectory. Upon contacting a target through the intermediary of a searching sonar which is more simply constructed in comparison with a homing sonar, the active body launches an effector which is equipped with an extremely rapid drive into linear attacking trajectory tangentially to the searching trajectory, and wherein the effector will detonate a warhead upon impact against a target.

Abstract: A propellent medium for a barreled weapon with electrically-supported liquid propulsion, especially for chemical-electrical hybrid drives with regenerative propellent medium injection. Organic compounds of a combination of carbon and hydrogen are contemplated in a ratio with one or more reactive groups which, with a good exothermic reaction of the propellent medium (hydrocarbon), will facilitate the dissociation of molecules or atoms of lower molecular mass. Hereby, a propellent medium component can be formed from charged hydrocarbon ring systems including reactive groups.

The receiver is provided with a pattern comparator which is supplied from a pattern storage in accordance with a pregiven vehicular type criterium and with a detector receiving signal from the currently detected vehicle.

Abstract: An impact or recoil member possessing a plurality of gas cushions which are arranged within each other, and which are activatable in sequence in response to a triggering sensor. A comparatively hard assumption of a load by the outer gas cushion is permitted up to a pressure rise beyond its bursting limit; with at least one inner gas cushion which is designed for the assumption of the residual energy of the mass which is to be caught under a hard or stiff spring characteristic. The individual gas cushions are activated staggered in time from the outside towards the inside over a period of time from a triggering apparatus which is centrally provided for all gas cushions either in or behind the mounting support for the inflation of the still folded-in cushion casings in a specified time sequence, whereby the actuation of the triggering apparatus is implemented through the triggering or tripping sensor which is correlated with the loading scenario.

Abstract: Arrangement of a multi-layer through-contacting integrated circuit board with bonding-wires extending between chip contacts and substrate contacts, particularly designed for a compact circuit assembly of signal processors in an airborne body. The substrate contacts are arranged within a narrow connector strip extending parallel to the boundary of a chip-mounting region, and are in the plane of the substrate surface at approximately the same measurement and geometric sequence as the chip contacts of the circuit. Thin conductive paths extend and spread apart in a fan-like manner from the substrate contacts in an edge strip of the chip-mounting region, and terminate at mutually offset end surfaces of through-holes or vias which have a substantially larger cross-sectional area than the width of the thin conductive paths.

Abstract: Deflection of laser beams, irrespective as to whether this is implemented within or externally of the laser itself; necessitating the utilization of metal mirrors or reflectors of high-quality which, in short, are designated as laser mirrors or reflectors. Laser mirrors of that type require an extremely good mirror surface, a high reflective capability and a good geometric planicity, as well as a high surface hardness. Brass possessing an inherently known microduplex matrix or grain structure provides a significant improvement in the properties of laser mirrors. A material of that type has, by nature, a microcrystalline structure, possesses a freedom from stresses, a high degree of stiffness, and a good material hardness.

A measuring element which is connected to the input of the control circuit determines the decreasing voltage at least at one of the lamp electrodes, and the control circuit will open the switch for the ignition of the fluorescent lamp only when the determined voltage is essentially constant, or has reached a threshold value.

Abstract: A projectile-forming explosive charge-insert of intensified penetrating power into a target, wherein a mass or weight component is centrally positioned in the insert, and the weight member possesses at least one shank projecting into the explosive charge. The weight member or mass serves as a stabilizer during the deformation of the insert into a projectile. The deformation procedure is favorably influenced by the weight member; in effect, during the collaboration of the insert in the region of the head, the mass or weight member acts in a damping or attenuating manner. Governing for the attenuating property of the weight member is, accordingly, its length towards the explosive and its attenuating capacity specific to its material.

Abstract: An arrangement for the unlatching and extension of the stabilizing fins or control surfaces of a projectile, including a power element which is effective in the longitudinal direction of the projectile for pressing a follower against camming or runoff edges located proximate hinged connections at the fin footings, after a latching for the stabilizing fin in the region of their end surfaces has been released. The power element causes a latching crown or ring to be raised away from the end surfaces of the stabilizing fins opposite the force of a spring through the longitudinal movement of a connecting or pusher rod prior to the pusher rod engaging behind the follower and then pressing against the runoff or camming edges.
