Abstract: A jettisonable nosecone (10) for a missile is specified, which nosecone (10) is longitudinally split into at least two parts (15, 16) and is held together by detachable connecting structures, in which case the connecting structures are designed to actively move the at least two parts (15, 16) away from one another when released. A missile having a correspondingly designed nosecone (10) is also provided. A nosecone (10) of this type allows simple jettisoning during every flight phase of the missile, and is also suitable for retrofitting to an already existing missile.

Abstract: A smoke shell (10) which includes a shell casing (12), an ogive (14) fixed to the shell casing (12) and a base (22) releasably connected to the shell casing (12). The ogive (14) has a time fuse (18) operatively connected to an ejection charge (20). A number of smoke pots (26) are provided in the shell casing (12) adjoining each other and the base (22) and an ejection plate (28). An ignitor charge (30) is mounted to the ejection plate (28) in the proximity of the ejection charge (20).

Abstract: A fuse-less shell (10) with a so-called pyrotechnic impact fuse achieves bore safety and safety in front of the bore by providing a spring-supported ball (43) arranged in a central bore (72) within a valve body (65). The valve body (65) separates an explosive charge (60) at the shell side from an impact-sensitive firing charge (28). The firing charge (28) is disposed within a shell cap (24) and surrounds a projection (30), which acts as an anvil, of the valve body (65).

Abstract: In an infantry grenade (5) the fragmentation effect is enhanced in that a cup portion (7) of a ductile steel--which serves to receive an explosive charge (9)--has at its periphery in a substantially cylindrical longitudinal portion (25) a pre-notched fragmentation arrangement (28, 29) and in a rounded longitudinal portion (26) ball-type fragmentation portions (32). The entire fragmentation arrangement is enclosed by a plastic shell (17).

Abstract: A projectile with an ejecting charge for the expulsion of a payload. The ejecting charge effectively develops a pressure which is of sufficient duration and adequately high for effectuating the expulsion of the payload; however, wherein the casing thereof will not burst into the kind of fragments which conceivably can damage the payload. A receiving member for the ejecting charge is mounted within the projectile, which receiving member withstands the development of the pressure encountered during the combusting of the ejecting charge; wherein that the receiving member possesses a multiplicity of apertures through which there discharges the propellent gas which is developed during the combustion of the ejecting charge, and wherein the ejecting charge is inserted into a thin-walled cup contained in the receiving member.

Abstract: A projectile with active components or energy-producing bodies which possesses a cylindrical sheathing wall, and which are maintained axially stacked between a projectile base and a projectile head or tip, and wherein there is provided an ejecting arrangement on the projectile for the ejection of the active components. The sheathing or wall structure of each active component is provided with at least two axially-parallel, through-extending bores, in which tie bolts are extended through the aligned bores of the sheathing wall structures of the active components, which tie bolts are fastened at one end thereof to the projectile base and at the other end thereof to the projectile head, wherein each tie bolt possess rupturing or breaking points in the region of the projectile base, in the region of the abutting location between two active components, and in the region of the projectile head.

Abstract: A projectile which includes a detonator recoverable to provide function control. A projectile upper portion fitted on a projectile shell carries the detonator. An aerodynamic brake arrangement is located within the projectile shell. A ram supported in the projectile shell has an ejector charge arranged adjacent thereto at the side opposite the projectile upper portion.
