Patent number: 11118880Abstract: A fragmentation warhead for a missile includes a warhead casing, an active charge arranged within the warhead casing, and a fragmentation filling arranged within the warhead casing in front of the active charge of the fragmentation warhead in an effective direction of the fragmentation warhead. When the active charge is ignited, fragments are hurled out of the fragmentation filling in the effective direction within a first outlet opening angle. The fragmentation warhead includes a fragmentation damping charge, which is arranged within the warhead casing laterally to the effective direction on the fragmentation filling, to exert a lateral damping pressure on the fragmentation filling upon ignition. The fragmentation warhead includes a fragmentation damping filling, which is arranged within the warhead casing laterally to the effective direction on the fragmentation filling such that the metal powder is released laterally from the fragmentation filling when the active charge is ignited.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2020Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: TDW Gesellschaft für Verteidigungstechnische Wirksysteme mbHInventors: Werner Arnold, Christian Euba

Patent number: 10415937Abstract: An electromagnetic mobile active system for fitting in a missile with a detonation-operated magnetic field compressor. The magnetic field compressor has at least one stator coil and at least one armature casing, which is at least partially surrounded by the stator coil and kept at a radial distance. The magnetic field compressor has at least one explosive charge embedded in the armature casing. The magnetic field compressor has at least one power source. For activating the detonation of the explosive charge, a trigger system is provided. The trigger system can be controlled by a pulse of current from the power source, depending on a signal supplied by the missile. A great amount of electrical energy can be generated in the stator coil by the detonation. For the directional radiation of the electrical energy generated by the detonation of the explosive charge, the active system has at least one directional antenna.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: TDW Gesellschaft für verteidigungstechnische Wirksysteme mbHInventors: Markus Graswald, Raphael Gutser

Patent number: 10228226Abstract: A monitoring device and system are provided for monitoring normal sequence of an initiation. The device includes at least one sensor in a region of an explosive charge and/or in a region of at least one ignition device for the explosive charge of the munitions system, and also a control device for evaluating output signals of the sensor with the control device connected to at least one ignition device in a controlling manner on a basis of the evaluation. At least one sensor is arranged at an output of a first ignition device for subdetonative initiation of the explosive charge. The control device is connected to a further ignition device and enables or inhibits it on a basis of a signal supplied by the sensor and assessed in the control device, and at least one sensor is designed for sensing pressure, temperature, light, electrical current or changing of mechanical states.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2016Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: TDW Gesellschaft für verteidigungstechnische Wirksysteme mbHInventors: Johann Florian, Markus Graswald, Raphael Gutser
