Development of a closed-type shot model from composite materials at the South Ural State University

The task of improving standard shots in terms of stealth, noiselessness and increased power is relevant, since it allows, on the one hand, to increase the combat capabilities of crews on the battlefield, and on the other, to create mock-ups of shots when training students in the specialty 05.17.01 “Ammunition and fuses”, allows you to instill skills and competencies in the development and production of modern weapons and ammunition. The Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Education “South Ural State University (National Research University)”, based on accumulated scientific and practical experience, offers for consideration a design model of a closed-type silent shot made of composite materials, the concept of which was developed on the basis of a RU patent 2741982 C1. As part of the educational process in the specialty 17.05.01 “Ammunition and fuses”, a set of design and technological documentation was developed, materials and technological equipment for its production were selected. The design of the model consists of polymer composite elements: head and tail parts. The warhead contains inconspicuous ceramic ready-made submunitions. In the tail section there is a replaceable powder propellant charge. A review of currently used foreign radar stations was carried out. The ballistic and aerodynamic parameters of the developed shot model and the fragmentation efficiency were assessed. The results of modeling the flow of air around and the dispersion of fragments are presented. This sample is an illustration of the scientific and methodological approach to creating designs and technologies for promising samples of weapons and ammunition for the industry of conventional weapons, ammunition and special chemicals of the Russian Federation.
