Abstract

A new explosive bellows, which has a diameter of 8.0 mm and a length of 25.4 mm, was developed for a warhead fuze. The new explosive bellows delivers a thrust of 4.5 kgf over a stroke of 25.4 mm. A new gas generator containing BP/MTV ignition charge was also developed and the output test equipment, which measures the length of spring compressed by the function of explosive bellows, was also devised. In order to find out that the new explosive bellows meets the design requirements, the sensitivity tests and output tests were conducted. The test results show that the new explosive bellows meets the requirements and can be applicable to a warhead fuze.

탄두 신관에 사용되는 길이 25.4 mm, 직경 8.0 mm이고 행정길이 25.4 mm 이상에 대해 4.5 kgf의 추력을 제공하는 화약 벨로우즈를 새로이 개발하였다. BP/MTV 조성의 새로운 가스발생기를 개발하였으며, 화약 벨로우즈 작동시 압축되는 스프링의 길이를 측정하는 위력시험장치도 고안하였다. 새로 개발된 화약 벨로우즈가 요구조건을 만족하는지 검증하기 위해 감도시험과 위력시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과 새로 개발한 화약 벨로우즈는 요구조건을 충족하였으며, 탄두용 신관에 적용이 가능하다.
