Abstract
A fuse of a missile has a power supply system containing a power supply unit with at least one hot side, at least one cold side and at least one thermo generator disposed between the hot and cold sides. In order to achieve rapid and reliable electricity generation for electrical units of the fuse, it is proposed that the power supply unit contain a pyro unit on its at least one hot side for producing heat by a combustion process.
Claims15
A fuse of a missile, the fuse comprising:
- a power supply system having a power supply unit with at least one hot side, at least one cold side and at least one thermo generator disposed between said hot and cold sides, said power supply unit having a pyro unit on said at least one hot side for producing heat by a combustion process.
A method for supplying electrical elements of a fuse of a missile with electrical energy, which comprises the steps of:
- initiating a combustion process of a pyro unit of a power supply unit for heating a hot side, the heating of the hot side of the power supply unit of a power supply system resulting in at least one thermo generator of the power supply unit producing electricity;
- and
- feeding the electricity to the electrical elements.
