Abstract
A device produces an arming criterion for a fuze for a partly spinning munition. The munition has a first part which spins and a second part without or with little spin during flight of the munition. The device includes a sensor for outputting a characteristic variable for a relative rotation between the first part and the second part and a control unit for producing the arming criterion when the characteristic variable fulfils a flying criterion. The fuze for the partly spinning munition, which has at least one arming criterion, includes the device for providing the arming criterion or one of the arming criteria. The partly spinning munition includes the fuze with the device.
Claims15
A device for producing an arming criterion for a fuze for a partly spinning munition, the partly spinning munition having a first part which spins about a central longitudinal axis during its flight and a second part which at a same time has no motion or only a rolling motion less than a spin about the central longitudinal axis, the device comprising:
- a sensor for sensing a relative rotation about the central longitudinal axis between the first part and the second part of the partly spinning munition and for outputting a characteristic variable for the relative rotation sensed;
- and
- a control unit connected to said sensor and set up to only produce the arming criterion when the characteristic variable fulfils a flying criterion.
A fuze for a partly spinning munition, the partly spinning munition having a first part spinning about a central longitudinal axis during flight and a second part, which at a same time has no motion or only a rolling motion less than the spinning about the central longitudinal axis, the fuze comprising:
- a device containing:
- a sensor for sensing a relative rotation about the central longitudinal axis between the first part and the second part of the partly spinning munition and for outputting a characteristic variable for the relative rotation sensed;
- and
- a control unit connected to said sensor and set up to only produce an arming criterion when the characteristic variable fulfils a flying criterion;
- and
- said device providing the arming criterion as one of the arming criteria of the fuze.
A munition, comprising:
- a first part having a central longitudinal axis and spinning about said central longitudinal axis during flight;
- a second part at a same time having no motion or only a rolling motion less than the spinning about said central longitudinal axis;
- a device containing:
- a sensor for sensing a relative rotation about said central longitudinal axis between said first part and said second part and for outputting a characteristic variable for the relative rotation sensed;
- and
- a control unit connected to said sensor and set up to only produce an arming criterion when the characteristic variable fulfils a flying criterion.
