Abstract: The invention relates to a penetrator for a projectile, in particular a sub-caliber kinetic energy projectile, wherein the penetrator has a terminal-ballistic body for attacking an armored target, wherein a hole is formed in the body, which extends along or parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the body entirely or along a predominant portion of the length of the body, wherein at least one exactly fitting insert part is introduced into the hole, which has a through-opening extending along or parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the insert part for guiding through an electrical or electronic line.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sabot (1) which comprises multiple sabot segments (1.1, 1.2, 1.3). The sabot (1) or the sabot segments (1.1, 1.2, 1.3) are characterized by having a structural design at an end (10) opposite the shooting direction such that a low degree of flexural rigidity is achieved at said end (10). A sabot (1) with three sabot segments (1.1, 1.2, 1.3) is preferred. The sabot (1) or the sabot segments (1.1, 1.2, 1.3) have a rear part (3) as a push part and a front part (4) as a pull part. In order to optimize the shape and weight, the front part (4) and the rear part (3) have recesses (5, 6) in the sabot (1) or in the sabot segments (1.1, 1.2, 1.3). Braces (8, 9) are integrated between the recesses (5, 6), or the recesses (5, 6) are introduced between braces (8, 9).

Abstract: The invention relates to a penetrator (1) for a projectile having a tail unit, in particular a subcaliber kinetic energy projectile, comprising a main body (10), the main body (10) having at least one partial region (12, 12?, 12?) with longitudinal recesses (20, 20, 20?).

Abstract: Penetrator (1) for a projectile having a tail unit, in particular a sub-calibre kinetic-energy projectile, comprising a one-piece main body (10) and a sub-body (11) fitted on the main body (10), characterized in that the main body (10) has at least a front region (12) and a rear region (17), wherein the rear region (17) of the main body is of a solid design and the front region (12) has a bore (13) formed in it, wherein the bore (13) comprises at least a first region (131) and a second region (132), wherein the first region (131) receives the fitted-on sub-body (11) and the second region (132) extends rearwards behind the fitted-on sub-body (11).

Abstract: 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 penetrator for a projectile, in particular a subcaliber kinetic energy penetrator, comprising a tail unit and a main core having a front part and a rear part, the tail unit being arranged on the rear part of the main core. A predetermined breaking point is formed between the front part and the rear part of the main core, and the material of the predetermined breaking point is designed to be mechanically less resilient that the rest of the main core.

Abstract: A sabot in which bionic structures are provided. The structures are generated or created by way of an additive manufacturing process during the manufacture of the sabot in a defined manner with respect to size, shape and/or volume and in a targeted manner with respect to the local and quantitative embedding in the sabot.
