Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein unbemanntes Fluggerät für die Bekämpfung von Bodenzielen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle for controlling ground targets according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE-PS 29 04 749 ist ein Flugkörper nach Art einer Drohne für die Bekämpfung von Bodenzielen vom Boden aus bekannt. Zur Bekämpfung einer feindlichen, Radarstellung ist die Drohne u.a. mit einem Zielsuchkopf und einem detonationsfähigen Gefechtskopf versehen. Nach Auffassung des Zieles bekämpft die Drohne das Ziel im Sturzflug durch Aufschlag im Ziel.From DE-PS 29 04 749 a missile is known in the manner of a drone for fighting ground targets from the ground. To combat an enemy, radar position, the drone is among other things equipped with a homing head and a detonatable warhead. According to the target, the drone tackles the target in a dive by hitting the target.

Die Erfolgsaussichten zur Zielbekämpfung sind relativ gering, da die Drohne verhältnismäßig früh geortet und während des Sturzfluges leicht durch Bordmaschinenwaffen des Zieles bekämpft werden kann. Bewegliche Ziele können grundsätzlich während der Sturzflugphase ausweichen.The chances of success to combat the target are relatively small, since the drone can be located relatively early and can be easily fought by on-board machine guns during the dive. Movable targets can always dodge during the dive phase.

Eine Drohne in der Art eines Flugkörpers mit stark gepfeiltem Tragwerk, insbesondere Deltaflügel, jedoch ohne Gefechtsladungen, ist aus der OE-OS 32 40 903 bekannt.A drone in the manner of a missile with a strongly swept structure, in particular delta wings, but without combat charges, is known from OE-OS 32 40 903.

Zur Bekämpfung verhältnismäßig schwergepanzerter Ziele, wie Kampfpanzer, schlägt die DE-PS 27 41 984 einen Gefechtskopf mit mindestens einer stachelbildenden Hohlladung vor. Dieser Gefechtskopf ist Teil einer Granate oder eines Flugkörpers. Stachelbildende Hohlladungen sind aufgrund der relativ großen Kampfentfernung von ca. 100 m nahezu wirkungslos.To combat relatively heavily armored targets, such as battle tanks, DE-PS 27 41 984 proposes a warhead with at least one prong-forming shaped charge. This warhead is part of a grenade or a missile. Spike-forming shaped charges are almost ineffective due to the relatively large combat distance of approx. 100 m.

Daneben sind Maßnahmen, die zu einer achsenstabilen Lage des Gefechtskopfes an Granaten und Flugkörpern führen sehr aufwendig.In addition, measures which lead to an axis-stable position of the warhead on grenades and missiles are very complex.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, kostengünstig und effektiv Bodenziele, nämlich leicht- und schwergepanzerte Ziele, mittels eines unbemannten Fluggerätes zu bekämpfen.The object of the invention is therefore to combat ground targets, namely light and heavily armored targets, cost-effectively and effectively by means of an unmanned aerial vehicle.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruches 1.The invention solves this problem with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß liegt ein kostengünstiges und effektives Waffensystem vor. Der stabile Anflug des Fluggerätes, bspw. einer Drohne, ist eine ideale Waffenplattform mit den Vorteilen einer sicheren Detektion der Ziele aufgrund der geringen Geschwindigkeit der Drohne von ca. 250 bis 300 km/h bei einer durchschnittlichen Angriffs-Flughöhe von ca. 70 m. Die Bekämpfung der Ziele erfolgt durch projektilbildende Ladungen, die entsprechend den Merkmalen der Unteransprüche in der Drohne stationär oder aus dieser in Form von ausstoßbaren Submunitionen angeordnet sind.According to the invention, there is an inexpensive and effective weapon system. The stable approach of the aircraft, for example a drone, is an ideal weapon platform with the advantages of reliable detection of the targets due to the low speed of the drone of approx. 250 to 300 km / h with an average attack altitude of approx. 70 m. The targets are combated by projectile-forming charges which are arranged in the drone according to the characteristics of the subclaims or arranged in the form of ejectable submunitions.

Liegt ein Ziel in Wirkrichtung der stationären Ladungsanordnung, so ist die Zündung ohne vorherige Korrektur der Fluglage möglich. Liegt dagegen das Ziel außerhalb der Wirkrichtung der Ladungsanordnung, so reicht eine geringe Korrektur der Fluglage (z.B. durch Rollbewegung) aus um das Ziel zu bekämpfen.If a target lies in the direction of action of the stationary charge arrangement, the ignition is possible without prior correction of the flight position. If, on the other hand, the target lies outside the direction of action of the cargo arrangement, a slight correction of the flight position (e.g. by rolling motion) is sufficient to combat the target.

Die Effektivität der Drohne wird dadurch vergrößert, daß die Ladungsanordnung aus zwei oder mehreren achsparallel angeordneten P-Ladungen besteht, die simultan gezündet werden. Dadurch wird eine erhöhte Treffer- und Vernichtungswahrscheinlichkeit insbesondere bei schwer zu bekämpfenden Zielen, wie Kampfpanzern, sichergestellt.The effectiveness of the drone is increased in that the charge arrangement consists of two or more P-charges arranged axially parallel, which are ignited simultaneously. This ensures an increased probability of being hit and destroyed, especially for targets that are difficult to fight, such as battle tanks.

Die Effektivität der Drohne ist dadurch zu vergrößern, daß mehrere Ziele durch eine einzige Drohne zu bekämpfen sind, indem die Drohne mit wenigstens einer ausstoßbaren Submunition versehen ist. Nach dem Ausstoß einer Submunition erfolgt die Stabilisierung der Drohne für die weitere Detektion von Zielen und Ausstoß einer zweiten Submunition bzw. Zündung der stationären Ladungen.The effectiveness of the drone can be increased in that multiple targets can be combated by a single drone by providing the drone with at least one submunition that can be fired. After the release of a submunition, the drone stabilizes for the further detection of targets and the release of a second submunition or ignition of the stationary charges.

Relativ geringe Korrekturen der Fluglage der Drohne sind dann erforderlich, wenn die ausstoßbaren Submunitionen im Bereich des Schwerpunktes der Drohne angeordnet sind.Relatively small corrections to the flight position of the drone are required if the ejectable submunitions are arranged in the area of the center of gravity of the drone.

Bei sehr niedriger Flughöhe der Drohne ist eine sehr hohe Akquisitionswahrscheinlichkeit der ausstoßbaren Submunition dann zu erreichen, wenn diese "nach oben" ausgestoßen wird. Aufgrund der dadurch erreichten größeren Zeitspanne für das aerodynamische Stabilisieren der Submunition mit anschließender Detektion bei größerem nutzbaren Suchradius und Auslösung der projektilbildenden Ladung liegt die erforderliche Treffwahrscheinlichkeit vor.With a very low flight altitude of the drone, a very high probability of acquisition of the ejectable submunition can be achieved when it is ejected "upwards". Due to the longer time span for the aerodynamic stabilization of the submunition with subsequent detection with a larger usable search radius and the triggering of the projectile-forming charge, the required probability of impact is present.

Der Aufmarschraum gepanzerter Verbände oder andere unbemannte Fluggeräte kosteneffektiv zu bekämpfen, indem mehrere Drohnen streifenförmig das Zielgebiet überfliegen. Auch ist in einfacherweise die Mehrfachbekämpfung eines einzigen Zieles durch mehrere Drohnen weitgehend ausgeschlossen.Combat armored units or other unmanned aerial vehicles in a cost-effective manner by streaking several drones over the target area. Multiple combat of a single target by multiple drones is also largely ruled out in a simple manner.

Wesentlich für die Erfindung ist, daß jeder der von einem Fluggerät getragenen, projektilbildenden Ladungen für eine wahlweise unterschiedliche Ausbringungsart aus dem Träger, und zwar in der Art als Submunition oder in der Art mit Abschuß aus dem Fluggerät, vorgesehen ist.It is essential for the invention that each of the projectile-forming charges carried by an aircraft is provided for a selectively different manner of delivery from the carrier, specifically in the manner of submunition or in the manner of launching from the aircraft.

Die Wahl der Ausbringungsart der Ladungen als Submunition schließt bei Vorhandensein mehrerer Ladungen Ausbringungskombinationen ein, nach denen die Ausbringung einzeln oder in Gruppen mit zeitlichen Abständen oder auch sämtlicher Ladungen gleichzeitig bewirkt wird.The choice of the type of delivery of the loads as submunition includes, in the presence of several loads, delivery combinations according to which the delivery is effected individually or in groups with time intervals or all loads at the same time.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in der Zeichnung dargestellt. Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine Drohne während der Bekämpfung eines Zieles;
  • Fig. 2
  • bis 5 die Anordnung von projektilbildenden Ladungen in mehreren Varianten in der Drohne nach Fig. l.
Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawing. It shows:
  • Figure 1 shows a drone while fighting a target.
  • Fig. 2
  • to 5 the arrangement of projectile-forming charges in several variants in the drone according to Fig. l.

Eine Drohne 1 mit Deltaflügeln 2, 3 weist einen mehrteiligen Rumpf 4 auf.A drone 1 with delta wings 2, 3 has a multi-part fuselage 4.

In einem Bugabschnitt 5 sind gemäß den Figuren 2 bis 5 projektilbildende Ladungen 35 in Form von stationär angeordneten Ladungen 6 bis 8 und ausstoßbare Submunitionen 9 bis 11 angeordnet.2 to 5 projectile-forming charges 35 in the form of stationary charges 6 to 8 and ejectable submunitions 9 to 11 are arranged in a bow section 5.

In einem anschließenden Abschnitt 15 ist eine nicht dargestellte Detektionseinrichtung zur Erfassung eines Detektionskorridors 16 untergebracht.A detection device (not shown) for detecting a detection corridor 16 is accommodated in a subsequent section 15.

In einem Mittelabschnitt 20 mit dem Schwerpunkt 21 ist die nach oben ausstoßbare Submunition 9 angeordnet.The upwardly ejectable submunition 9 is arranged in a central section 20 with the center of gravity 21.

Im Heckabschnitt 25 befindet sich ein nicht dargestellter Motor für einen Propeller 26.In the rear section 25 there is a motor (not shown) for a propeller 26.

Im Zielkorridor 16 ist durch die Detektionseinrichtung ein Kampfpanzer 30 identifiziert mit entsprechenden Zieldaten.In the target corridor 16, a battle tank 30 is identified by the detection device with corresponding target data.

Die Submunition 9 ist über eine Ausstoßladung 31 aus einem Behälter 32 ausgestoßen und über einen Fallschirm 33 stabilisiert. In bekannter Weise führt die Submunition 9 am Fallschirm 33 hängend eine kreisende Bewegung aus. Eine autarke DetektionseinrichtungThe submunition 9 is ejected from a container 32 via an ejection charge 31 and stabilized via a parachute 33. In a known manner, the submunition 9 executes a circular movement while hanging on the parachute 33. A self-sufficient detection device

der Submunition 9 löst bei Zielerfassung die projektilbildende Ladung 35 aus. Ein danach detektiertes Ziel 40 wird durch die projektilbildende Ladung 10 bekämpft.the submunition 9 triggers the projectile-forming charge 35 when the target is detected. A target 40, which is subsequently detected, is combated by the projectile-forming charge 10.

Ein anschließend detektiertes drittes Ziel 45 wird durch die stationär in der Drohne angeordnete projektilbildende Ladung 6 bekämpft. Hierzu ist die Drohne 1 um ihre Hauptachse 46 durch entsprechende Steuermanöver der Drohne in Pfeilrichtung 47 soweit gedreht, daß das Ziel 45 in dem Wirkungsbereich derprojektilbildenden Ladung 6 liegt. Die Bahn des Projektils ist mit 48 bezeichnet.A subsequently detected third target 45 is combated by the projectile-forming charge 6 arranged stationary in the drone. For this purpose, the drone 1 is rotated about its main axis 46 by appropriate control maneuvers of the drone in the direction of arrow 47 to such an extent that the target 45 lies within the effective range of the projectile-forming charge 6. The path of the projectile is designated 48.

Nach Fig. 2 sind in schematischer Darstellung die projektilbildenden Ladungen 6 bis 8 im Bugabschnitt 5 gezeigt. Zwischen den genannten Ladungen 6 bis 8 sind stoßwellenreflektierende Dämmschichten 51, 52 angeordnet. Damit wird erreicht, daß bei gleichzeitiger Detonation der projektilbildenden Ladungen 6 bis 8 eine gegenseitige Beeinflussung, die die Projektilbildungen stören könnte, unterbleibt. Bei diesen Ladungen ist vorgesehen, daß ein Ziel durch die Ladungen 6 bis 8 gleichzeitig bekämpft wird. Die Detonation der Ladungen führt dabei zur Zerstörung des Bugabschnittes 5, die dann zum Absturz der Drohne 1 führt.2, the projectile-forming charges 6 to 8 are shown in the bow section 5 in a schematic representation. Shock wave-reflecting insulating layers 51, 52 are arranged between said charges 6 to 8. This ensures that with simultaneous detonation of the projectile-forming charges 6 to 8, there is no mutual influence which could interfere with the projectile formation. With these charges it is provided that a target is combated by charges 6 to 8 at the same time. The detonation of the charges leads to the destruction of the bow section 5, which then leads to the drone 1 crashing.

Nach Fig. 3 sind neben den projektilbildende Ladungen 6, 7 und den Dämmschichten 51, 52 die nach unten ausstoßbare Submunition 9 angeordnet. Die Unterseite der Drohne 1 ist mit 53 und die Oberseite mit 54 bezeichnet.According to FIG. 3, in addition to the projectile-forming charges 6, 7 and the insulating layers 51, 52, the submunitions 9, which can be ejected downwards, are arranged. The underside of the drone 1 is designated 53 and the top 54.

Nach Fig. 4 sind im Bugabschnitt 5 die stationär angeordnete Ladung 6 und die ausstoßbare Submunition 10 untergebracht. Im Rumpfabschnitt 4 ist entsprechend Fig. 1 die ausstoßbare Submunition 9 im Bereich des Schwerpunktes 21 angeordnet. Die Wirkrichtungen der Ladung 6 und der Submunition 10 sind mit 41, 42 bezeichnet.4, the stationary charge 6 and the ejectable submunition 10 are accommodated in the bow section 5. According to FIG. 1, the ejectable submunition 9 is arranged in the fuselage section 4 in the area of the center of gravity 21. The directions of action of the charge 6 and the submunition 10 are designated 41, 42.

Nach Fig. 5 sind im Bugabschnitt 5 der Drohne l'und im Rumpfab - schnitt 4 nach unten gerichtete, ausstoßbare Submunitionen 9 bis 11 angeordnet.According to FIG. 5, ejectable submunitions 9 to 11 are arranged in the bow section 5 of the drone 1 'and in the fuselage section 4.

Mit der Anordnung nach Fig. 2 ist nur ein Ziel zu bekämpfen.With the arrangement according to FIG. 2, only one goal is to be combated.

Mit der Anordnung nach Fig. 3 sind zwei Ziele zu bekämpfen, indem das erste Ziel mit der Submunition 9 und das zweite Ziel gleichzeitig mit den stationären Ladungen 6 und 7 zu bekämpfen ist.With the arrangement according to FIG. 3, two targets are to be combated, in that the first target is to be combated with the submunition 9 and the second target is to be combated simultaneously with the stationary charges 6 and 7.

Mit der Anordnung nach Fig. 4 sind drei Ziele unabhängig voneinander zu bekämpfen, wobei für das letzte Ziel die stationäre Ladung 6 vorgesehen ist, deren Detonation zur Zerstörung der Drohne führt.4, three targets can be combated independently of one another, the stationary charge 6 being provided for the last target, the detonation of which leads to the destruction of the drone.

Neben der beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen bezüglich der Lage und Anordnung der Ladungen 6 bis 10 können auch nur eine einzige Ladung in der Drohne stationär oder ausstoßbar angeordnet sein. Auch können die stationären Ladungen in der Drohne - in Flugrichtung gesehen - quer dazu in einem Winkel zur vertikalen Längsebene angeordnet sein.In addition to the exemplary embodiments described with regard to the position and arrangement of the charges 6 to 10, only a single charge can also be arranged in the drone in a stationary or ejectable manner. The stationary charges in the drone - viewed in the direction of flight - can also be arranged transversely at an angle to the vertical longitudinal plane.

Die auswerfbare Submunition ist auch in der Art einer stationären Ladung direkt zu zünden.The ejectable submunition can also be fired directly in the manner of a stationary charge.

Die Anordnung der Submunition in der Drohne bezüglich der Wirkrichtung der Submunition ist beim Ausstoß nach "oben" abhängig von der Art der aerodynamischen Stabilisierung der ausgestoßenen Submunition. Die Submunition kann daher in der Drohne so angeordnet sein, daß ihre Wirkrichtung "nach oben" oder "nach unten" gerichtet ist. Bei der Wirkrichtung "nach oben" ist die Drohne auch gegen Hubschrauber einsetzbar, indem sie das Ziel unterfliegt und die Submunition direkt zündet. Anstelle der Submunition ist auch eine "nach oben" gerichtete stationäre Ladung der Drohne vorzusehen.The arrangement of the submunition in the drone with respect to the direction of action of the submunition depends on the type of aerodynamic stabilization of the submunition when it is discharged "upwards". The submunition can therefore be arranged in the drone so that its direction of action is "up" or "down". With the "up" direction of action, the drone can also be used against helicopters by flying underneath the target and firing the submunition directly. Instead of submunition, an "upward" stationary charge of the drone must also be provided.
