Discarding sabot

Armor-Piercing Discarding Sabot (APDS).. In this type of projectile, a carbide core, either capped or uncapped, is placed inside a steel or light-alloy sheath (fitted with a tracer) to give good exterior ballistic characteristics, and this subcaliber assembly is placed inside a full-caliber carrier. This carrier (sabot) is so designed that it will impart velocity and spin to the subcaliber projectile. [Pg.813]

One of the most recent applications of the. VADS is in the US Navy s Phalanx ship-board antimissile system. Nine hundred-fifty discarding sabot depleted uranium rounds are carried in the feed system, and search and tracking radar are carried in a dome above the mounting. The gun is controlled automatically by the ship s fire-control computer, and a closed-loop spotting system measures the positons of target and projectile simultaneously to direct the stream of fire (at 3000 rds/minute) on to the target thruout the engagement (Ref 3)... [Pg.298]

Thus, there is a contradiction in requirement — maximum diameter inside the barrel, minimum diameter while the shell travels thru the air and strikes the target. This contradiction was resolved in the late 1940 s with the development of an APDS (armor-piercing, discarding-sabot) round. In the APDS shell there is a central core of small diameter made of tungsten carbide, a strong material of... [Pg.229]

There is a Chinese tungsten carbide AP bullet with a discarding sabot which is very effective due to its very high velocity. The United States also produced an AP bullet with a discarding sabot using depleted uranium as the bullet core material.68... [Pg.72]

The forensic implications of discarding sabots are the fact that the bullet will bear no rifling marks from the barrel of the weapon and one weapon could be used to fire a number of different subcaliber projectiles.80,81... [Pg.81]
