A device for electrical interconnection of cells of a battery pack through cell connectors, and a battery pack having the device and the cell connectors are provided. A plurality of cell connectors for connection of at least two cell poles are fitted on a mounting plate, electrically isolated from one another. Each cell connector has at least one flexible bracket which extends away from a connection area. The flexible brackets are coupled to the connection area through a resilient structure having a meandering shape.

A submunition is formulated for destroying a target in a target area. Accommodated in a casing are a signal processing unit connected to a radar antenna and/or an infrared sensor and/or another target-detecting sensor. The submunition further has target recognition software and a charge provided with a covering. To increase the versatility of use and to simultaneously improve detection and decision certainty and reliability, the target recognition software has a software interface for the transfer of at least one parameter specific to the target area.

The MLRS1 artillery rockets ( ) which are stored in the depots of the consumer can enjoy in a technologically non-critical fashion an increase in performance in the sense of a substantially improved degree of delivery precision, insofar as the ogival head ( ) is temporarily cut off so that it is possible to fit into same and thus into the foremost region of the original payload space ( ), which is behind the fuse ( ), in a position of surrounding the pyrotechnic delivery ejection system, an annular assembly frame ( ) for a transverse thrust unit ( ) with reaction elements ( ), which blow out radially around the rocket, which, in dependence on position, can be individually triggered by a navigation satellite-supported course correction unit ( ) which is also fitted there.

A delivery apparatus (11) for full-calibre submunitions or the like payloads (12) which are coaxially stacked in its load space (19) results in a system which operates in a fault-free manner when, for ejecting the payloads (12), detachment of the load space (19) from the rocket motor (17) disposed therebehind and detachment of the ogive (14) from the opposite end of the load space (19) are each promoted by a pyrotechnic charge (28, 31), with the load space (19) being braked as a result of being positioned transversely beside the trajectory (26) of the separated motor (17) which flies further along the trajectory and past the load space in a stable configuration and with the load space (19) only then being turned by a braking parachute (23) connected to its end (22). The load space tail (18) which thereafter then faces forwardly in the direction of flight is opened by detachment of a cover (25) and the load space (19) is pulled away from the payload stack (12--12) by means of the braking parachute (23).

A process for controlling the detonation of a mine for the combating of vehicles, in particular armored vehicles such as tanks, with an electronically-triggered detonating arrangement and, a mine including a triggering device which is actuated pursuant to the inventive process. The detonating arrangement is only triggered when a receiver which is connected ahead thereof has determined requisite, preset aggregate vehicular criteria in a vehicle approaching the mine. The receiver is provided with a pattern comparator which is supplied from a pattern storage in accordance with a pregiven vehicular type criterium and with a detector receiving signal from the currently detected vehicle.

A radar receiver and, more particularly, a radar receiver of the type which is utilized in connection with a frequency-modulated, continuous-signal radar apparatus. The radar receiver, in the receiving channel thereof, is provided with a high-pass filter of the second order which is only operated in the linear characteristic curves range, thus acting as an R.sup.4 -filter and which is connected in front of a demodulating rectifier, or in essence, an analog-digital quantitizer.

An apparatus produces a guide beam pattern for a missile. The guide beam pattern comprises a plurality of bundles of light beams collectively surrounding the axis of the beam pattern. The bundles of beams are modulated differently by different electric modulating potentials from optical modulators. In order to produce the bundles of light beams without mechanical and aligning devices and to obtain a guidance system operating over the entire cross-section of the beam pattern, PLZT ceramic segments are provided as the modulators, each of which forms bundle of light beams. The segments collectively cover the entire cross-section of the beam pattern from a single source of light. A spearate modulating potential is applied to each of the segments.

A supply circuit for a load which is to be continually supplied within a projectile, with a generator connected ahead of a voltage generator, in particular a thermo-generator, which provides a power output which increases to a maximum within a first supply stage of the load and drops off in a contiguous second supply phase of the load, whereby during the first and second supply phases the provided power output is greater than the power required for the operation of the load. The load and an RC-charging circuit with a storage condenser are located in parallel at the voltage generator output so that during the first supply phase of the load there will charge the storage condenser wherein a diode is connected into the RC-charging circuit so as to prevent the discharge of the storage condenser during the second supply phase, and in which a switch controlled by the output voltage of the voltage generator is connected between the storage condenser and the load, which is blocked during the first supply phase and which is actuated as soon as the output voltage of the voltage generator has reached a value in which is insufficient for the operation of the load, whereby in a third supply phase the load is supplied through the switch from the storage condenser.

An optical remote control arrangement for a projectile, having provided for the guidance of the projectile from a firing base to a target, a sighting arrangement adapted for the sighting of the target along a sighting line. At least one light source is located at the firing base which emits a lamellar-shaped or finned light beam which upon traversing through at least one deflecting device periodically passes over a region containing the sighting line, wherein the light beam is directionally-dependently modulatable and detectable by at least one detector acting upon a demodulator and arranged on the projectile, by means of which control signals are generatable which act on the control devices of the projectile so as to exert an influence over the trajectory of the projectile. The optical remote control arrangement for a projectile has the light source (Laser) connected ahead of a modulator (MOD) sequentially generating pulse sequences of different pulse frequencies within a control period, and which controls the deflection device (ABL) as well as exciting the light source (Laser) for the emission of pusle frequency-modulated beams, through the detector (DT) of the demodulator (DEM) arranged in a projectile (G), consisting of a frequency measuring arrangement (FM), a programmable storage circuit (PROM) connected through the output thereof, and having connected therewith a decoder (DEC) which is associated with the control arrangement (STV).

An electrical projectile detonator which includes a voltage source, an impact detector, a timing element as well as an ignition switch which is arranged intermediate the voltage source and a detonating agent, and wherein the timing element is connected with the impact detector and the ignition switch.
