ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a propelling cage sabot for a subcaliber, armor piercing kinetic energy projectile having a high length to diameter ratio which will be placed in a tube of a weapon and lauched by propelling charge gases. The sabot has a support member and fixing means. The sabot further having a gas pressure receiving surface to be charged with the propelling charge gases, a longitudinal axis and an air pocket for positively utilizing air flowing in the pocket once the projectile leaves the tube of the weapon. The sabot is segmented for separation from the projectile and includes a joint form-locking zone for attachment with the projectile; and a fiber component connected by the fixing means with the support member for absorbing tensile stresses. The fiber component is made up of more than one oriented individual member. Each individual member is oriented such that the individual member extends along the longitudinal axis between a frontal fixing region and a rear fixing region. The fixing regions, the form-locking zone, the gas pressure receiving surface, and fixing means are all disposed at the support member. Each individual member has a length dimensioned extending between the frontal fixing region and the rear fixing region. The sabot is further configured for converting stresses occurring in the sabot into tensile stresses along at least a portion of the length of each individual member.
