A device for simulating a dynamic munition-related environment for a projectile, and a simulation device-projectile assembly including: a suspension device configured for suspending the projectile along the longitudinal direction of the projectile in such a way that the projectile is mounted freely along the longitudinal axis of the projectile; a propulsion device configured for being positioned facing the rear end of the projectile at a predefined distance from the projectile; and an impactor configured for being propelled, by the propulsion device, at a predetermined velocity toward the rear end of the projectile so as to strike the projectile so as to reproduce a shock response spectrum specific to an exit from a muzzle.

Device and method for simulating a dynamic munition-related environment for a projectile, and simulation device-projectile assembly

The invention relates to a penetrating and explosive projectile () provided with a trajectory-stabilizing fin assembly () which is secured to a body of the projectile by a mechanical connection. The fin assembly () includes a tapped tube () which engages on a threaded rear cylindrical shank () of a tail () connected to the projectile body (), thereby forming a threaded mechanical connection () between the tail unit () and the body (). This projectile () is characterized in that it includes means ensuring the fragilization of the threaded connection () on impact on a target, the fin assembly then separating from the projectile body.

Penetrating and explosive projectile with stabilizing fin assembly

An electronic fuze for a projectile, the electronic fuze including at least one electronic board arranged in a housing of the body of the projectile, the electronic board being encapsulated in a block of protective material. The electronic board is secured to at least one support rod partially encapsulated in the block of protective material. The support rod is inserted through a hole in a wall integral with the body of the projectile, and the support rod is secured to the wall by a fastening device. A first decoupling devices is interposed between the block of protective material and the wall and a second decoupling device is interposed between the fastening device and the wall. The electronic board is located towards a front part of the projectile and the wall is located towards a rear part of the projectile.
