Abstract

In order to study the interior ballistic characteristics of cased telescoped ammunition (CTA) armor-piercing projectile in the hypervelocity launch process, in this paper, based on the secondary ignition and propellant combustion technology, the zero-dimensional internal ballistic model of CTA is established. At the same time, in order to improve the lightweight of CTA and the energy utilization rate of the launch process, combustible cartridge materials are applied to the structure of cased telescoped ammunition. Numerical simulation of 105 mm CTA grenade shooting experiment has verified its correctness. On this basis, the internal ballistic process of 105 mm CTA armor-piercing projectile with semi-combustible cartridge is predicted and analyzed. When main charge propellant weight is 6 kg, the maximum pressure is 569.5 MPa and the muzzle velocity can reach 1702 m/s.
