摘要:
为有效突破爆炸反应装甲与主装甲的复合防护体系,解决传统同轴爆炸成形弹丸战斗部前后级毁伤元动能匹配不佳的难题,提出了一种具有“外薄内厚”非对称结构的同轴双层罩EFP战斗部。通过理论分析、数值模拟与试验验证,系统研究了其成形机理及侵彻特性,揭示了厚度比对前后级EFP动能的影响规律。研究表明,该战斗部一次起爆可形成两枚具有显著速度差且均具备侵彻能力的前后分离EFP,实现了前级触发爆炸反应装甲、后级侵彻主装甲的序列打击功能;在保持药型罩总厚度不变的约束下,通过调整内外罩厚度比可实现前级EFP与随进EFP速度差在78~357m/s范围内的连续调控,动能分配比可在1:5.5至4.2:1之间灵活配置,并通过战斗部静爆试验验证了设计的可行性。
Abstract:
The widespread deployment of Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA) has qualitatively enhanced the battlefield survivability of modern main battle tanks and heavy infantry fighting vehicles. The conventional Explosively Formed Projectile (EFP) warhead, which generate a single projectile, is insufficient to effectively destroy armor targets equipped with ERA. This limitation has created a significant performance gap in existing anti-armor systems. In response to the threat posed by ERA, the Collinear Explosively Formed Projectiles (CEFP) warhead has been developed as a novel, high-efficiency warhead designed to meet this operational requirement. The CEFP warhead employs a multi-layered liner structure. Upon detonation, it forms multiple EFPs that separate sequentially along the axis, each retaining penetrative capability. The leading EFP is intended to perforate the front plate or initiate the ERA, while the trailing EFP consecutively penetrates the primary armor. This mechanism significantly enhances the destructive potential against composite "ERA + Primary Armor" configurations. However, a critical challenge for this type of warhead lies in the suboptimal kinetic energy matching between the leading and trailing damage elements. To address this challenge and effectively defeat the composite protection system of ERA and primary armor, a coaxial double-layer liner EFP warhead featuring an "externally thin, internally thick" asymmetric liner structure is proposed. A comprehensive investigation into its formation mechanism and penetration characteristics was conducted through theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and experimental validation. This study elucidated the influence of the liner thickness ratio on the kinetic energy of the leading and trailing EFPs. Research findings indicate that a single detonation of this warhead generates two axially separated EFPs with a significant velocity differential, both possessing penetration capability. It thereby achieves a sequential attack function: the leading EFP triggers the ERA, and the trailing EFP penetrates the primary armor. Under the constraint of a constant total liner mass, the velocity differential between the leading EFP and the trailing EFP can be continuously adjusted within a range of 78 m/s to 357 m/s by varying the thickness ratio of the outer and inner liners. Concurrently, the kinetic energy distribution ratio between the two projectiles can be flexibly configured within the range of 1:5.5 to 4.2:1. The feasibility of this innovative design has been successfully verified through static detonation testing of the warhead prototype.
