8. Design Flashcards

Question

Fuze Components (6)

Answer 1

``` Safety Pin Fly-off lever Spring Striker Detonator Delay pellet ```

Answer 2

Offensive: - Rely solely on the effect of blast for anti-personnel effect To cause any physical damage to a man, a burst must be very close to him or at least in a confined space Usual effect is to stun or disorientate a man so he is incapable of rational reaction for a short time

Answer 3

Usually projected or dispersed Not usually hand Limited effect against tanks; more anti-vehicle

Answer 4

Defensive: These grenades are designed for use when the thrower is fully or partially protected The large lethal area is achieved using fragments projected at high velocity.

Answer 5

Hand Thrown Projected - Rifle launched / gun fired Discharger - Weapon/vehicle launched

Answer 6

- Motor: (inc. the combustion chamber, fins and nozzle) -Warhead (incl. the fuze) Launcher is also required. Hand held platform or ground mounted

Answer 7

- A casing which provides a combustion chamber in which the charge can burn - The motor casing must be strong enough to withstand the high temperature & pressures reached during combustion - Usually made of various steels; however, have been made from glass-reinforced plates - De Lavel nozzles normally used.

Answer 8

``` Casing Combustion Chamber Propellant Igniter Nozzle Fins ```

Answer 9

Casing A structure used to hold the combustion chamber Propellant Solid propellants are preferred to liquid propellants

Answer 10

Igniter Essential for solid propellant ignition and usually electrical Nozzles Purpose is to change heat and pressure into kinetic energy

Answer 11

``` Nuclear HE Chemical (incl. smoke) Preformed Fragments Sub-munitions Terminally guided munitions. ```

Answer 12

Normally positioned inside the ballistic nose cone Newer fuzes incorporate electronics for fuzing

Answer 13

Support, transport and aim the rockets | In simpliest form they may be expendable

Answer 14

A condition caused when the thrust does not pass through the CoG and causes the rocket to PITCH or YAW

Answer 15

- Manufacturing to closer tolerances - Impart a slow rate of spin - Reduce motor burning time - Addition of fins

Answer 16

Surface Cross Winds Propellant burning rate Launcher induced errors

Answer 17

If 2 weights can be fired at equal velocity in opposite directions then the weapon will be recoiless

Answer 18

- Low velocity - Flash dust signature - Large propelling charge (recoiless!)

Answer 19

No recoil low weight man portable

Answer 20

``` HE HEAT HEDP Smoke Illum ASM (Anti-structure) PRAC 6.5mm sub-cal Drill ```

Answer 21

The Venturi

Answer 22

An explosive or other material, normally encased, designed to destroy or damage, vehicles, boats or aircraft, designed to wound, kill or otherwise incapacitate personnel. It may be detonated by the action of its victim by the passage of time, or by controlled means

Answer 23

``` Warhead Sensor and fuze - Mechanical - Electronic Safety and Arming Unit Power Source Case ```

Answer 24

Disrupt Turn Fix Block

Answer 25

``` Sensitivity Ease of Laying Resistance to Counter measures Delaying arming Sterilisation (neutralisation) Self-neutralisation Self-Destruct Remote Control Recording and marking ```
