Q

Describe the functioning of a 84mm HEAT after firing

A
  • Primer ignites propellant in cart case.
  • Propellant gases acting on the rear of the projectile ignites rocket motor delay
  • Rocket motor delay burns for approx 45 miliseconds and prijectile leaves barrel
  • Delay composition ignited intermediate and ignition charge
  • Ignition charge initiates rocket motor charge, burns for approx 1.5 seconds
  • Delay unit ejected from rocket at approx 15m from the muzzle
  • Setback force moves both safety sleeves rearwards, unlocks rotor
  • Arming spring moves rotor 270 degrees to the armed position
  • Detonator is now connected to firing circuit by the contact piece
  • On impact, 5 piezo-electric crystals convert impact shock into electrical current
  • Current passes through four layer diode via contact piece and funcstions electric detonator in rotor.
  • Detonator functions booster pellets, in turns functions HE fill and forms jets

Q

Describe the function of the Fuze V447 MTSQ from firing to ‘set time’ for airburst

A
  • Firing pin strikes the primer causing priming composition to ignite
  • Priming composition ignites propellant
  • Propellant hot gases push the projectile forward down the barrel of the weapon
  • Driving band is engaged in the rifling and imparts spin
  • As the projectile starts to move forward, the rear blow out disc is expelled
  • Setback forces lock nose cap in position at set time and release hand of the clockwork mechanism
  • Clockwork mech starts
  • Centrifugal and setback forces act concurrently to unlock striker, firing pin locking plunger and rotate the shutter
  • Once the set time has been reached, the striker is release and impacts the clockwork detonator causing it to function
17
Q

What is the Fuze BD 502 fitted to?

A

-Cart 84mm HEDP 502

18
Q

What is the failsafe feature on the Fuze BD 502

A

-If the escarpment is release during transportation or handling prior to the driving plunger being pushed down, the rotor will be driven around 260 degrees to ensure the fuze remains safe

19
Q

What is newtons third law?

A

-For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

20
Q

What is a BBDA?

A

-Back Blast Danger Area

21

Q

What are the major components of the RKT 66mm M72A6?

A
  • Rocket

- Launcher

23
Q

Describe the function of the RKT 66mm M412A1 Fuze from firing the impact

A
  • On setback, leaves disengage and the rotor turns clockwise
  • Rate of rotation is retarded by a geared escarpment, arms after 12m of flight
  • Once armed, rotor aligns with electric detonator M48 to the firing block contacts
  • Explosive train is aligned with graze element/cocked striker
  • On impact, piezo crystal is crushed which produces an electric charge
  • Charge is transmitted via internal cavity wires which ignites the detonator
  • Detonator initiates booster pellet and in turn the main fill (from the rear)
24
Q

What is the propellant in the RKT 66mm M72A1?

A
  • M7 tubular grain

- 122g

25
Q

What are the 7 types on warheads found on FFR?

A
  • Nuclear
  • HE
  • Chemical
  • Preformed Fragments
  • Sub munitions
  • Terminally guided munitions
  • Practice munitions
26
Q

What is the functioning of the rocket motor in the 2.75inch?

A
  • Current applied to the rocket and fuze head via the contact bands
  • Current initiates fuze head which ignites, causing black powder to ignite
  • Black powder ignites the propellant
  • Large quantity of gas ruptures closing disc and foil shield exiting the nozzle
  • Rocket accelerates down tube towards target
  • Exiting gas is deflected by grooving in nozzle imparting spin
  • On exiting, fins are deployed under spring tension
  • Fin and spin to for improved stability
  • Once propellant all burnt, fins maintain spin for remainder of trajectory
27
Q

What are some factors effecting rocket accuracy?

A
  • Surface cross winds
  • Propellant burn rates
  • Launcher induced errors
28
Q
  • During _____ ____ set back weights in ____ move ____ against its spring tension (1st lock)
  • ____ loaded second lock ____ on its axis
  • _____ ____ is used to move the ____ lock by ____ it and freeing the rotor
A
  • During INITIAL THRUST set back weights in S&A move REARWARDS against its spring tension (1st lock)
  • SPRING loaded second lock ROTATES on its axis
  • CENTRIFUGAL FORCE is used to move the SECOND lock by ROTATING it and freeing the rotor
