Description

The invention relates to the field of military equipment, namely to automated weapons systems installed on wheeled and tracked vehicles, etc. means of transportation, can be used to counter various threats that arise in the process of performing assigned tasks using a means of transportation.

The technical result is to increase the efficiency of the use of weapons and the resource capabilities of the vehicle in the course of performing assigned tasks.

From the invention according to patent US 8245928 B2, IPC G06F 19/00, G06G 7/80, publ. 08/21/2012, a system for warning and responding to incoming threats, placed on a vehicle, is known. From the description of the invention it follows that the operating frequency ranges are selected from the frequencies of the optical and/or radar range, but it is possible to select operating frequency ranges corresponding to different types of radiation (for example, optical radiation in the visible and infrared spectrum), and it is also possible to use three or more frequency ranges in various combinations. The use of such a system makes it possible to reduce the time of identifying a threat and reduce the number of false positives during operation, however, the capabilities of this system do not allow optimizing (minimizing) the types and number of countermeasures necessary to ensure the elimination of a threat (several threats) and do not allow quickly enough choosing the optimal algorithm counteraction in the process of interaction with single or group objects - sources of threats.

The active protection system is known, described in the application for invention RU 2013146664 A, IPC F41H 7/00, publ. 04/27/2015, Bulletin. No. 12 (see also analogues - invention under patent EP 2722633 B1, IPC F41F 1/08, F41H 11/02, F41H 5/007, published 02.12.2020 Bulletin 2020/07 and application for invention US 2014/0102288 A1 IPC F41H 11/00, published April 17, 2014. This active protection system for a vehicle based on two countermeasures modules of different types, responsible for the far and near zones (points) of destruction allows you to work out a greater number of types of threats compared to an active protection system based on a module one type of counteraction against threats realized through the use of attacking high-speed weapons with characteristics that allow them to be unambiguously identified as weapons (based on data from radar and optical-electronic devices installed on the vehicle), but its practical use is ineffective in the event of the appearance of additional threats realized through single or group low-speed targets with characteristics that do not allow them to be unambiguously identified as sources of threats or allow this to be done only in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle (for example, for targets with reduced radar or optical signature).

From the invention according to patent EP 2942597 B1, IPC F41G 3/14, F41H 11/02, G01S 13/34, G01S 13/86, publ. 09.30.2020 Bulletin 2020/40 known active protection system, designed to be placed directly on the protected vehicle. This system makes it possible to provide protection from some threats of destruction by guided and unguided ammunition with a cumulative warhead, however, to guarantee the elimination of such or similar threats during the operation of the system, a very large consumption of striking elements is required, which leads to the complete depletion of ammunition within a very short interval of time and to the need to urgently take further measures to protect the vehicle in real time, not directly related to the use of this particular active protection system.

From the invention according to patent US 8833231 B1, IPC F41G 3/16, F41G 3/06, publ. 09/16/2014 a weapon system (variants) for automated tracking and destruction of targets is known. Despite the fact that this weapon system is intended primarily to combat unmanned aerial vehicles, and its capabilities make it possible to quite effectively neutralize threats from most known types of unmanned aerial vehicles, its use is characterized by increased ammunition consumption, as well as the lack of effective algorithms detection and identification of unmanned aerial vehicles with reduced visibility beyond the boundaries of the near zone.

The closest in technical essence is the combat module of the vehicle described in the invention under patent US 8464949 B2, IPC G06F 19/00, G06G 7/80, G01S 7/36, G01S 13/08, F41G 7/00, publ. 07/18/2013, intended for use as part of special equipment products (in particular, as part of wheeled and tracked vehicles, etc. vehicles) and containing a detection means unit, including a radar and optical-electronic detection means module and a passive means module detection; an active protection means unit, including a control module for active protection means and a means of destruction module; a main armament unit, including a main armament module and a main armament control module; a control unit including a primary data processing module with inputs and outputs of a primary data processing module connected to the inputs and outputs of a radar and optical-electronic detection module and connected to the inputs and outputs of a passive detection module, a situation analysis and threat identification module with module inputs situation analysis and threat identification associated with the outputs of the primary data processing module, a decision-making and control command generation module with inputs of the decision-making and control command generation module associated with the outputs of the situation analysis and threat identification module and with the outputs of the decision-making and control command generation module , connected to the inputs of the primary data processing module, a module for interacting with the block of active protection means with inputs and outputs of the module for interacting with the block of active protection means, connected to the inputs and outputs of the decision-making module and generation of control commands and associated with the inputs and outputs of the control module of the active means protection, module for interaction with the main weapon unit with inputs and outputs of the module for interaction with the main weapon unit connected to the inputs and outputs of the decision-making module and generation of control commands and associated with the inputs and outputs of the main armament control module.

Despite the fact that this system has a high level of fairly high efficiency in performing operations to identify threat parameters, this countermeasures system can only be used in addition to active defense systems and is not always able to monitor and adequately respond to threats that arise during use swarm complexes, consisting primarily of small unmanned aerial vehicles and including loitering munitions.

Despite the fact that this system has a high level of parallelism when performing operations to identify threat parameters and calculate countermeasures for countering threats in the form of cannon and machine gun weapons, this countermeasure system can only be used in addition to active protection systems and not always in able to monitor and adequately respond to threats arising from the use of swarm systems, consisting primarily of small unmanned aerial vehicles and including loitering munitions.

The technical result is to increase the efficiency of the use of weapons and the resource capabilities of the vehicle in the course of performing assigned tasks. The technical result is achieved due to the fact that in the combat module of vehicles containing a detection means unit, including a radar and optical-electronic detection means module and a passive detection means module; an active protection means unit, including a control module for active protection means and a means of destruction module; a main armament unit, including a main armament module and a main armament control module; a control unit including a primary data processing module with inputs and outputs of a primary data processing module connected to the inputs and outputs of a radar and optical-electronic detection module and connected to the inputs and outputs of a passive detection module, a situation analysis and threat identification module with module inputs situation analysis and threat identification associated with the outputs of the primary data processing module, a decision-making and control command generation module with inputs of the decision-making and control command generation module associated with the outputs of the situation analysis and threat identification module and with the outputs of the decision-making and control command generation module , connected to the inputs of the primary data processing module, a module for interacting with the block of active protection means with inputs and outputs of the module for interacting with the block of active protection means, connected to the inputs and outputs of the decision-making module and generation of control commands and associated with the inputs and outputs of the control module of the active means protection, module for interaction with the main weapon unit with inputs and outputs of the module for interaction with the main weapon unit connected to the inputs and outputs of the decision-making module and generation of control commands and associated with the inputs and outputs of the main armament control module; a resource assessment module has been introduced into the control unit, while the inputs and outputs of the resource assessment module are connected to the inputs and outputs of the decision-making module and the generation of control commands, to the inputs and outputs of the module for interacting with the active protection means block, and to the inputs and outputs of the module for interacting with the block main weapons and with inputs and outputs of the maintenance equipment unit.

The MSPO passive detection module includes technical means for detecting the presence of targets - potential and actual sources of threats, operating in passive location mode and may contain, for example, sensors for detecting laser radiation sources, flame detection sensors, acoustic sensors. The range of technical equipment and sensors (quantity, types, etc.) as part of MSROEO and MSPO is formed by the developer of the combat module of the vehicle based on the intended specific area of use and conditions of use, as well as based on the design features of the vehicle.

The main armament block (MBOV) is a combination of main armament designed to eliminate detected targets and technical means that directly ensure the functioning of the main armament during operation. The main weapons block (MSOV) includes the main weapons control module (MUSOV) and the main weapons module (MSOV). The main armament module (MAM) consists of the main armament, which is small arms and cannon armament, consisting of one or more similar weapon groups (for example, one group may consist of two or more anti-aircraft automatic guns of the same caliber, and another group of two or more machine guns of the same caliber). The main weapon control module (MUSOV) ensures the functioning of the main weapon and may include means for placing the main weapon (for example, turret-type devices), horizontal and vertical guidance drives, rotary support devices, drive control elements, as well as a docking unit with hardware - control unit software (BUPR). The composition of the technical means of the main weapons control module (MUSOV) and the nomenclature of the main weapons are determined by the developer of the combat module of the vehicle, both based on the intended specific area of use and conditions of use, and based on the design features of a particular vehicle.

The composition of the technical means of the active protection control module (MUSAZ) and the range of missile weapons are determined by the developer of the combat module of the vehicle, both based on the intended specific area of use and conditions of use, and based on the design features of a particular vehicle.

The control unit (CUPR) is made on the basis of a processor module (the processor module is not shown in Fig. 1) with memory and it receives signals from the hardware of the detection means unit (DSO), subsequent processing of the received signals, analysis of the obtained processing results for identification potential targets, creating and adjusting the created list of tracked targets, generating a list of control commands and issuing them to the block of active protection equipment (BPAS), the block of main weapons (BSOV) and the block of additional weapons (BSDV) if additional weapons are available.

The primary data processing module (PDM) is designed for primary processing of signals from technical means and from sensors included in the detection means unit (DSO), (input signal amplification, noise filtering, analog-to-digital conversion), subsequent processing of digitized data in order to highlight significant indicators and subsequent output of data characterizing significant indicators to the situation analysis and threat identification module (MASIU). The primary data processing module (PDPM) can be implemented either on the basis of a processor or a group of processors of the control unit processor module (CUPR), or on the basis of one or more special digital signal processors focused on solving problems of processing signals from a specific type of sensors (devices) ).

The situation analysis and threat identification module (MASIU) is designed to analyze data characterizing significant indicators and transferred to the MASIU module from the primary data processing module (PDM). Using the hardware and software of the situation analysis and threat identification module (MASIU), the types of tracked targets (for example, unmanned aerial vehicles) are identified, those targets from which a threat is possible are identified, the targets are finally identified from which there is a threat and their parameters (flight speed, range, azimuth, reflectivity, etc.) and the formation of a list of these targets (an array of data characterizing the targets from which there is a threat) for subsequent transfer to the decision-making module and generation of control commands (MPRFUC) .

The module for interaction with the MUSOV main armament unit is designed to convert control commands (part of the control commands) of the MPRFUK module and subsequent transfer to the MUSOV main armament control module. The MVSAZ and MVSOV modules can be implemented both on the basis of a processor or a group of processors of the BUPR processor module, and on the basis of one or more special processors for digital or digital-to-analog signal conversion.

The technical support unit (BSTO) is designed to carry out calibrations and test checks of the control and functioning of both devices and sensors of the BSO, BUPR, BSAZ, BSOV, BSDV blocks, as well as the combat module and the vehicle as a whole. The BSTO hardware block can be implemented either on the basis of a processor or group of processors of the BUPR control unit, or on the basis of a specialized microcircuit.

The block diagram of the combat module of the vehicle in the version with additional weapons is shown in Fig.2.

A block of additional weapons (BSDV) is a set of additional weapons that are not small arms, guns or missiles and are intended to eliminate detected threats in addition to the main small arms and/or missile weapons and technical means that directly ensure the functioning of additional weapons in process of work. The auxiliary weapons unit (ASBD) includes the auxiliary weapons control module (AMSDV) and the additional weapons module (MSDV).

The additional weapons control module (AMSDV) ensures the functioning of additional weapons and may include means for accommodating additional weapons, as well as a docking unit with the hardware and software of the control unit (BUPR). The composition of the technical means of the control module for additional weapons (MUSDV) and the range of additional weapons are determined by the developer of the combat module of the vehicle, both based on the intended specific area of use and conditions of use, and based on the design features of a particular vehicle.

The module for interaction with the block of additional weapons (MVSDV) is designed to convert control commands (part of the control commands) of the module for decision-making and generation of control commands (MPRFUK) and subsequent transfer to the control module of additional weapons (MUSDV). The control module for additional weapons (MUSDV) can be implemented either on the basis of a processor or a group of processors of the BUPR processor module, or on the basis of one or more special processors for digital or digital-to-analog signal conversion.

Figure 3 shows a block diagram of the combat module operation algorithm.

Before the start of operation of the combat module, the task that the vehicle must perform is set and the composition and completeness of the main cannon-machine gun, missile and additional weapons, the volume of resources and ammunition are finally determined. The criteria for prioritizing threats from detected and tracked targets of various types are being clarified; if necessary, appropriate changes are made to the software of the MPRFUK and MOP modules. Features related to the specifics of the task being performed (route, operating time, nature of the terrain, interference conditions, altitude range, etc.) are clarified; the corresponding information, if necessary, is entered into the software of the MPRFUK and MOR modules. The combat module is being prepared for operation and the functioning of the combat module of the vehicle is being checked using the hardware and software of the BSTO technical support unit. The control and functioning of the hardware and software of the BSO, BUPR, BSAZ, BSOV, BSDV units (the BSDV unit - in the presence of additional weapons) is being checked.

At the beginning of the combat module’s operation, the sensors and technical means of the detection means unit (DSO) and the MSROEO and MSPO modules are switched on, then, using an all-round radar station and a thermal television device, visual and automatic detection and recognition of air and ground objects in the visible and infrared ranges is carried out overview of the airspace in specified altitude and range ranges; the sensors of the MSPO module operate in passive location mode.

If the technical means and sensors of the detection means unit (DSO) detect any next change in the background situation, data from the outputs of the technical means of the MSROEO and MSPO modules arrives at the inputs of the primary data processing module (PDM) of the control unit (BUPR) via bidirectional exchange channels data from MSROEO-MPOD and MSPO-MPOD. By means of the MOTD hardware, input signals are amplified, noise filtered, analog-to-digital conversion and, if necessary, other conversions that are primary signal processing. The hardware and software of the MPOD processes digitized data that characterizes significant indicators and is the result of primary signal processing, after which the results of processing the digitized data are sent from the outputs of the primary data processing module (MPD) to the inputs of the situation analysis and threat identification module (MASIU) in a bidirectional manner. data exchange channel MASIU-MPOD, while in the process of operation requests are possible that, via bidirectional data exchange channels MSROEO-MPOD and MSPO-MPOD, from the outputs of the MPOD module are received at the inputs of MSROEO and MSPO. Data processing can be carried out both on the basis of well-known digital signal processing algorithms, and on the basis of digital signal processing algorithms specially developed to solve specific problems, while each type of sensors (technical devices) has its own hardware and software as part of the MPOD.

In the situation analysis and threat identification module (MASIU), the assessment and analysis of data received from the primary data processing module (PDM) via the bidirectional data exchange channel MPOD-MASIU is carried out, while in the process of work requests are possible that through the bidirectional data exchange channel MPOD- MASIU from the outputs of the situation analysis and threat identification module (MASIU) goes to the inputs of the primary data processing module (PDPM). Using the hardware and software of the situation analysis and threat identification module (MASIU), those targets that are sources of real threats are identified from the entire set of targets, they are identified and their main characteristics are determined (speed, size, visibility in the radar and optical ranges and etc.), while the software of the situation analysis and threat identification module (MASIU) can include specialized databases of portraits of various types of targets (for example, unmanned aerial vehicles), and target identification can be carried out on the basis of known or specially developed algorithms. The list of these goals generated (an array of data characterizing the goals from which there is a threat) is transmitted from the outputs of the situation analysis and threat identification module (MASIU) to the inputs of the decision-making and control command generation module (MPRFUK) via a bidirectional data exchange channel MASIU- MPRFUK, while in the process of work, requests are possible that, through the bidirectional data exchange channel MASIU-MPRFUK, from the outputs of the decision-making and control command generation module (MPRFUK) arrive at the inputs of the situation analysis and threat identification module (MASIU).

In the resource assessment module (REM), information about available resources is generated. Information about the ammunition load of the main weapons in real time is received via a bidirectional data exchange channel MOR-MVSOV from the outputs of the module for interaction with the main weapons block (MVSOV) to the inputs of the resource assessment module (MOR) (in turn, received by the MOR-MVSOV from the BSOV block) in response to requests from the resource assessment module (REM). Information about the number of missiles in real time is received via a bidirectional data exchange channel MOR-MVSAZ from the outputs of the module for interaction with the active protection equipment unit (MVSAZ) to the inputs of the resource assessment module (MOR) (in turn, received by MVSAZ from the BSAZ unit) in response to requests from the Resource Assessment Module (RAM). Information about the resources of additional weapons in real time is received via a bidirectional data exchange channel MOR-MVSDV from the outputs of the module for interaction with the block of additional weapons (MVSDV) to the inputs of the resource assessment module (MOR) (in turn, received by MVSDV from the BSDV block) in response to requests from the Resource Estimation Module (RAM). Information about the resources of the combat module and vehicle and the state of the vehicle is received via the bidirectional data exchange channel BSTO-MOR from the outputs of the technical support unit (BSTO) to the inputs of the resource assessment module (REM) in response to requests from the resource assessment module (REM) ).

In the module for decision-making and generation of control commands (MPRFUC), the final list of targets from which threats are present is generated, as well as the final ordering of the elements of this list in accordance with the priority criteria specified or generated by the operator, in accordance with which the ordering is carried out. At the same time, there is a constant exchange of data with the resource assessment module (REM) via the bidirectional data exchange channel MOR-MPRFUK and based on data on the resources required to neutralize threats and the actual resources available (including ammunition), as well as on the basis of data on the functioning of the technical means of the combat module and based on the real capabilities of the combat module of the vehicle, priorities may be reassigned. When the priorities are finally selected, commands are simultaneously issued to the inputs of the modules: module for interaction with the block of active protection equipment (MVSAZ), module for interaction with the block of main weapons (MVSOV), module for interaction with the block of additional weapons (MVSDV) in the presence of additional weapons via bidirectional data exchange channels MPRFUK-MVSAZ, MPRFUK-MVSOV, MPRFUK-MVSDV, while in the process of work requests are possible that via bidirectional data exchange channels MPRFUK-MVSAZ, MPRFUK-MVSOV, MPRFUK-MVSDV from the outputs of the modules MVSAZ, MVSOV, MVSDV are received at the inputs of the decision-making and control command generation module (MPRFUK).

When a command is received from the outputs of the decision-making module and the generation of control commands (MPRFUK) to the inputs of the module for interaction with the block of active defense means (MVSAZ) via the bidirectional data exchange channel MPRFUK-MVSAZ, target designation and control commands for missile weapons and technical means of the block of active defense means are formed protection (BSAZ). These commands, via a bidirectional data exchange channel MVSAZ-MUSAZ, are sent from the outputs of the module for interacting with the active protection means unit (MVSAZ) to the inputs of the active protection means control module (MUSAZ), while at the same time, during operation, data on the operation of the active protection means unit (BSAZ) ) in general, the active protection means control module (MUSAZ) and the destructive means module (MSP) are supplied from the outputs of the active protection means control module (MUSAZ) to the inputs of the module for interaction with the active protection means unit (MVSAZ) via a bidirectional data exchange channel MWSAZ-MUSAZ .

When a command is received from the outputs of the decision-making module and the formation of control commands (MPRFUK) to the inputs of the module for interaction with the main armament unit (MVSOV) via the bidirectional data exchange channel MPRFUK-MVSOV, target designation and control commands for gun and small arms main weapons and technical means are formed block of main weapons (BSOV). These commands, via a bidirectional data exchange channel MWSOV-MUSOV, are sent from the outputs of the module for interaction with the main weapons block (MVSOV) to the inputs of the main weapons control module (MUSOV), while at the same time, during operation, data on the operation of the main weapons block (BSOV) in general, the main weapons control module (MUSOV) and the main weapons module (MSOV) are supplied from the outputs of the main weapons control module (MUSOV) to the inputs of the main weapons control module (MWSOV) via a bidirectional MWSOV-MUSOV data exchange channel. In the main armament control module (MUSOV), based on the received control commands, the operation of technical means is carried out, ensuring the process of operation of small arms and cannon weapons, and then, after transmitting control signals through the bidirectional data exchange channel MUSOV-MSOV data, the firing process occurs.

When a command is received from the outputs of the decision-making module and the formation of control commands (MPRFUK) to the inputs of the module for interaction with the block of additional weapons (MVSDV) via the bidirectional data exchange channel MPRFUK-MVSDV, target designation and control commands for additional weapons and technical means of the block of additional weapons are generated weapons (BSDV). These commands, via the bidirectional data exchange channel MVSDV-MUSDV, come from the outputs of the module for interaction with the block of additional weapons (MVSDV) to the inputs of the control module of additional weapons (MUSDV), while at the same time, during operation, data on the operation of the block of main weapons (BSOV) ) in general, the control module for additional weapons (MUSDV) and the module for additional weapons (MSDV) come from the outputs of the control module for additional weapons (MUSDV) to the inputs of the module for interaction with the block of additional weapons (MVSDV) via the bidirectional data exchange channel MVSDV- MUSDV.

After working on the target (targets), using the technical means of MSROEO and MSPO and/or visually, the result of the combat module’s work is assessed. If the result is fully achieved (the threat and the target are neutralized or only the threat from the target is neutralized), a transition to work on other goals (if any) or a transition to the location mode is carried out. If the result is partially achieved, information about remaining threats (goals) remains in the BUPR block and is taken into account when generating the next list of goals (threats).

If, based on the results of resource assessment, the neutralization of certain types of threats (types of targets) becomes impossible, then a decision is made to neutralize only those threats that can be neutralized using the remaining resource. If, based on the results of resource assessment, the neutralization of all types of threats (types of targets) becomes impossible (for example, due to the complete depletion of resources), then a decision may be made to terminate the task.
