The Tactical and Technical Characteristics of Medium Calibre Programmable Ammunition Analysis
Journal Title: Problemy Mechatroniki. Uzbrojenie, lotnictwo, inżynieria bezpieczeństwa - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The subject of analysis was ammunition produced by: Oerlikon and Bofors (30, 35, 40 and 57 mm calibre). The analysed ammunition represented two groups, differ by construction, which is: type of shell, fuse and the method of programming. The Ammunition of first group was characterised by shrapnel type of shell and time fuse, programming after exiting the barrel. The second group is specified by fragmentation shell with forced fragmentation elements and multifunctional time-proximity fuse, programmed before round is loaded to the chamber. The presented method of analysis and results will allow to do comparison and initial prognosis of programmable ammunition firing system, by efficiency.
