  • Tandem warhead with piezoelectric percussion fuses
    Patent number: 5415105
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tandem warhead with a preliminary charge (1) and a main charge (2) respectively each with an associated fuse (3, 4).So that on ignition two fuses (3, 4) which are completely identical can be used, piezoelectrical percussion fuses (3, 4) are used which can be triggered by shockwaves. To establish the delay period of the fuses (3, 4) the housing construction, the arrangement of the fuses (3, 4) and the material composition of the housing (5) are to be selected in such a way that the propagation time of the shockwave imparts the required delay period.
