The invention relates to a projectile (1) having a projectile casing (3) in which an explosive charge (8), surrounded by a fragmentation casing, (9) is disposed, wherein the fragmentation casing (9) is fixed to the projectile casing (3), and the projectile (1) comprises a first ignition unit (11) ad
The invention relates to a projectile (1) having a projectile casing (3) in which an explosive charge (8), surrounded by a fragmentation casing, (9) is disposed, wherein the fragmentation casing (9) is fixed to the projectile casing (3), and the projectile (1) comprises a first ignition unit (11) adjacent to the explosive charge (8) disposed to the rear for igniting the explosive charge (8). The projectile (1) may be selectively used as a fragmentation projectile or as a projectile whose effect is due to pressure waves resulting from explosion of the explosive charge (8) due to an ejection charge (15), and the explosive charge (8) is axially displaceable relative to the fragmentation casing (9), which allows the explosive charge (8) to slide out of the projectile casing (3) at least far enough so that the explosive charge cannot act on the fragmentation casing (9) to fragment it.

1. A projectile comprising: (a) a projectile casing in which an explosive charge is arranged;(b) a fragmentation casing, wherein the explosive charge is surrounded by a fragmentation casing, and wherein the projectile casing and the fragmentation casing are connected to one another by several steel
1. A projectile comprising: (a) a projectile casing in which an explosive charge is arranged;(b) a fragmentation casing, wherein the explosive charge is surrounded by a fragmentation casing, and wherein the projectile casing and the fragmentation casing are connected to one another by several steel grooved pins arranged so as to be uniformly distributed over a circumference of the projectile casing and of the fragmentation casing;(c) a unit comprising (i) the explosive charge, wherein the explosive charge is supported in the projectile casing so that the explosive charge is displaceable in an axial direction towards the rear of the projectile, and wherein the explosive charge is surrounded by a metal jacket;(ii) a first ignition device disposed adjacent to the explosive charge and at a rear of the projectile, wherein the metal jacket of the explosive charge and the first ignition device are connected to one another, wherein the first ignition device is operably connected to ignite the explosive charge, and wherein the first ignition device includes a housing; and(iii) a radially protruding annular surface, wherein the radially protruding annular surface is a surface of the housing of the first ignition device; and(d) an ejection charge, wherein the ejection charge is situated in the projectile casing, wherein the ejection charge is configured and arranged in the projectile casing, in an annular cavity that surrounds an outside of the fragmentation casing, so that after ignition of the ejection charge, propellant gases developing due to ignition of the ejection charge act on the radially protruding annular surface of the first ignition device housing, and thereby effect a pushing of the explosive charge toward the rear of the projectile and out of the fragmentation casing so that ignition of the explosive charge does not rip the fragmentation casing apart and hurl high speed fragments. 2. A projectile according to claim 1, wherein the first ignition device operates in a first mode and in a second mode, wherein in the first mode the first ignition device operates to ignite the explosive charge without prior activation of the ejection charge, and in the second mode the first ignition devices operates to ignite the explosive charge only after activation of the ejection charge and a complete pushing-out of the explosive charge from the fragmentation casing that occurs due to propellant gases developed due to activation of the ejection charge. 3. A projectile according to claim 2, wherein an ignition time of the ignition device is adjustable. 4. A projectile according to claim 1, wherein an ignition time of the first ignition device is adjustable. 5. A projectile according to claim 1, wherein the radially protruding annular surface is on a front side of the first ignition device facing the explosive charge. 6. A projectile according to claim 1, wherein the projectile is a fin-stabilized tank projectile having a caliber ≧100 mm. 7. A projectile according to claim 1, wherein the projectile has two warheads arranged axially one behind the other in the projectile casing, wherein a first warhead is located at the rear of the projectile and is a fragmentation warhead provided with the explosive charge. 8. A projectile according to claim 7, wherein the second warhead is a hollow charge warhead. 9. A projectile according to claim 7, wherein the second warhead is located in front of the first warhead, and the second warhead is a hollow charge warhead, and the projectile further comprises a second ignition device operably connected to ignite the second warhead. 10. A projectile according to claim 1, wherein the metal jacket is copper.
