Anti-bunker ammunition

Abstract

The invention relates to an anti-bunker ammunition comprising a penetration body delimiting an internal cavity closed by a base characterized in that the cavity encloses at least one sub-munition, a device to eject said sub-munition as well as a device to eject the base, the sub-munition and the ejection devices being insulated from the walls of the internal cavity by shock-absorbing means.

1 . Anti-bunker ammunition comprising a penetration body delimiting an internal cavity closed by a base, wherein said cavity encloses at least one sub-munition, a first device to eject said sub-munition as well as a second device to eject said base, said sub-munition or munitions and said ejection devices being insulated from at least one of the walls of said internal cavity by shock-absorbing means.  
   
   
       2 . Anti-bunker ammunition according to  claim 1 , wherein said sub-munition or munitions comprise an explosive charge placed in a splinter-generating casing.  
   
   
       3 . Anti-bunker ammunition according to  claim 2 , wherein said explosive charge of said sub-munition or munitions comprises two ignition devices, each of said devices being placed at one end of said splinter-generating casing, the joint ignition of said two devices ensuring the concentration of said splinters.  
   
   
       4 . Anti-bunker ammunition according to  claim 1 , wherein said sub-munition comprises a charge having an incendiary heat and/or blast effect, or a thermobaric charge.  
   
   
       5 . Anti-bunker ammunition according to claim to  1 , wherein said shock-absorbing means comprise at least two blocks.  
   
   
       6 . Anti-bunker ammunition according to  claim 1 , wherein said ammunition incorporates control means connected to a fuse ensuring the detection of the passage through a wall, such control means sequentially ensuring the ignition of said base ejection device then that of said sub-munition or said munitions ejection device.  
   
   
       7 . Anti-bunker ammunition according to  claim 6 , wherein the ignition of said sub-munition or munition ejection device is triggered after passage through said wall.  
   
   
       8 . Anti-bunker ammunition according to  claim 1 , wherein said penetration body incorporates a front nose comprising at least one bar crimped in at least one bore.  
   
   
       9 . Anti-bunker ammunition according to  claim 8 , wherein said penetration body is integral with a propellant.  
   
   
       10 . Anti-bunker ammunition according to  claim 8 , wherein said penetration body is integral with a guiding/piloting module.  
   
   
       11 . Anti-bunker ammunition according to  claim 1 , wherein said penetration body is integral with a guiding/piloting module.  
   
   
       12 . Anti-bunker ammunition according to  claim 1 , wherein said penetration body is integral with a propellant.
