Description

The invention relates to air defense equipment, in particular to methods of combating small-sized unmanned aerial vehicles (MBLA).

Various methods and technical solutions for combating MBLA are known based on the use of a network-trap device for combating remotely piloted (unmanned) aerial vehicles (RPV) (patent No. 72753) and devices for combating remotely piloted (unmanned) aerial vehicles (patent No. 72754) [12].

The disadvantages are: the complexity of the design, large dimensions, high engine power for towing the network due to its high aerodynamic resistance, the use of the sound-thermal method of aiming at the target, which is ineffective due to the low energy consumption of the target - RPV, the high cost of the targeting device itself and the mandatory use of low temperatures for infrared sensors, no parachute or other device to soften the landing.

Device - a fighter for the destruction of remotely piloted (unmanned) aircraft (patent No. 2490585) [3].

The disadvantages are: the use of a radar to guide the means to the target when conducting electronic warfare, which can lead to a complete loss of MBLA control at the stage of the device entering the operating mode of video cameras and sensors, the absence of all-round cameras, the complexity of the design, the unpredictable effect of inertial fuses on the direction of the needles flight , which can affect their entry into MBLA, which is small in size.

The use of anti-helicopter mines (RF patent No. 2237859) [4].

The known invention has the following disadvantages: short range of submunitions, single use, inability to use in motion, active detection method, low possibility of use against MBLA.

Anti-aircraft missile-gun complex (patent No. 2321818) [5].

An anti-aircraft missile-gun complex containing a tower with guidance drives, on which launchers with missiles and anti-aircraft guns are located, a launch panel, a target detection radar station, a target tracking station and a missile, an optoelectronic system, a computer system, a unit for developing launch angles installations and a tower, a block for generating control commands, an antenna made in the form of a phased array with a beam control system.

Anti-aircraft missile system (patent No. 2241193) [6].

An anti-aircraft missile system containing a rotating tower mounted on a carrier, a launcher with missiles placed on a tower, means for guiding the launcher to a target, a passive infrared station, a digital computer, a coordinate allocation unit and a control panel, rockets equipped with homing heads, an infrared station receiver is installed on launcher, made with the possibility of a circular view, the control panel is removable for remote control of the combat operation of the complex, equipped with communication means for transmitting target designation coordinates from a digital computer to several anti-aircraft missile systems that are not equipped with means of target detection, control panel through a digital computer connected with several anti-aircraft missile systems for simultaneous control of them.

Modern and promising anti-aircraft missile and missile-gun systems of military air defense are capable of solving a wide range of combat missions with high efficiency. However, in the conditions of megalopolises, mountainous and rough terrain, the fight against suddenly appearing MBLA at ranges measured, in some cases, hundreds or tens of meters, is practically impossible, especially in conditions of the use of radio-electronic warfare. The ammunition load of anti-aircraft missile and missile-cannon systems does not exceed 8-12 missiles, which is not enough in the conditions of using a large number of MBLA - a swarm, and the shells are deprived of the possibility of detonating at the desired point in space. Modern anti-aircraft missile and missile-gun systems in the fight against MBLA are not able to carry out covert reconnaissance. Rocket (patent No. 2191983 - prototype) [7].

A rocket containing a head compartment, a sustainer engine, a warhead in a housing with a fuse located behind the cruise engine, a block for delaying the detonation of a warhead fuse after hitting a target and connecting the hull with adjacent rocket nodes, characterized in that the warhead in it is formed by a single-cycle a volumetric detonating mixture, placed in a thin-walled body, mainly of a cylindrical-conical shape, and installed with an offset towards the main engine while maintaining a gap relative to its rear end, and the connections of the body attachment with adjacent rocket nodes are made with the possibility of their destruction when the rocket strikes the target ... The rocket is also distinguished by the fact that the connections for the attachment of the warhead body are made in the form of thin-walled cylinders with longitudinal windows.

The common disadvantages of all the above technical solutions are the lack of a way to combat the swarm of MBLA as part of a single air defense system in various conditions of their use, due, first of all, to the complexity of the terrain and the multi-tiered structure of megalopolises, settlements, and individual buildings with basements.

The thermobaric method of dealing with a swarm of small-sized unmanned aerial vehicles is designed to cover the tactical link when it is conducting combat operations in various conditions from the enemy's MBLA and protecting important objects.

The essence of the invention is as follows: the radiation of electromagnetic and acoustic waves from a swarm of small-sized unmanned aerial vehicles 1 propagate in space 2 (Fig. 1). The radiation, falling on a multichannel detection system consisting of a phased array radar 3, an electronic reconnaissance station 4, an optoelectronic station 5, an acoustic station 6, is converted into an electrical signal and enters the signal processing and control unit 7 (Fig. 1).

The unit for processing signals and control of weapons of destruction 7 processes the information received and determines the spatial coordinates of the MBLA swarm 1. The received information is transferred to the cab of the vehicle 8 for the operator, who decides to defeat the MBLA 1 swarm, work on defeat can be carried out automatically without the participation of the operator with his permission ... All systems are supplied with electricity using standard vehicle devices 8.

The block for processing signals and controlling the means of destruction 7 is located on the base of the vehicle 8, like the launcher 9 with missiles 10.

The launcher 9 consists of forty guides with missiles 10, which contain a volume-detonating mixture in a thin-walled body (Fig. 1).

The signal processing and control unit 7 calculates the trajectory of the rocket 11 and programs the rocket processor 10 for flight with a possible deceptive maneuver and the operation of the fuse in such a way as to be at the beginning of the MBLA swarm 1 and destroy them as much as possible by an explosion of the volume-detonating mixture 12 ( Fig. 2).

The control of the destruction of the MBLA swarm 1 is performed by a signal processing and weapon control unit 7, which, if necessary, calculates the trajectory and actuation time of the fuse for spraying an aerosol cloud with a volumetric detonating mixture of another missile 10 or several times increasing the volume of space for the destruction of the MBLA swarm 1 enemy (Fig. 1).

To reduce the preparation time for the fight, the launcher 9 with missiles 10 is directed upward and can launch missiles, both in place and in motion (Fig. 2).

Drawings of a thermobaric method for dealing with a swarm of small-sized unmanned aerial vehicles:

1 - swarm of MBLA 1;

2 - emission of electromagnetic and acoustic waves from the swarm of MBLA;

3 - phased array radar;

4 - radio intelligence station;

5 - optoelectronic station;

6 - acoustic station;

7 - signal processing and weapon control unit;

8 - car;

9 - launcher;

10 - rocket;

11 - the trajectory of the rocket;

12 - explosion of the volume-detonating mixture.

Thus, the thermobaric method of dealing with a swarm of MBLA can be effectively used to cover a tactical echelon when it conducts combat operations in various conditions from an enemy MBLA swarm in difficult terrain conditions and protection of important objects.
