A penetration-capable projectile has a casing and a fuze with a fuze housing lower part. An interface area between the casing of the projectile and the fuze housing lower part is formed with a shape and/or strength modification which prevents the fuze housing lower part from being pushed into the casing on impact with a target that is to be penetrated.

Projectile with a penetration capability

A spin-stabilized correctible-trajectory artillery shell has a generator in the rotation-decoupled engagement region between a canard guidance unit and its munition body. The generator can be switched over to avoid load fluctuations between an adjusting motor and a substitute load. In order to avoid an additional heat source in the interior of the guidance unit the substitute load is in the form of an electrical resistance on, at or in canard surfaces behind the afflux flow edges. The canard surfaces are preferably formed on anti-spin canards which are not adjustably mounted.

In order to move a textile braking element () which is in the form of an annular disk and which is deployed radially under the effect of centrifugal force rapidly into a contour which is stable in respect of shape and which is always properly defined even under afflux flow conditions, a cloth () which is cut in the form of a circular ring is provided by virtue of radially extending tucks or darts, with a reduced outside periphery () in such a way that the opening movement is thereby limited to the shape of a flat obtuse-angled hollow truncated cone which, by means of reinforcing bands () which are sewn on along generatrices of the frustoconical surface, is pivotably mounted to the holding ring () at the inside periphery () while along the outside periphery (), it is provided with a peripherally extending accumulation of mass () for increasing the centrifugal deployment forces; wherein in the front end region of the stowage space (), the ring () is axially fitted into the contour of the fuse (), in such a way as to temporarily slip relative to the projectile spin.
