Abstract

FIELD: military science.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to military science, in particular to devices for delivery and launch of submunitions of anti-roof mines, and can be used to increase efficiency of destruction of enemy armoured vehicles. Method of using robotic means for launching and delivering submunitions of anti-roof mines is characterized by that three robotic means (RM) operate simultaneously. Two RM operate in destruction mode without their seismoacoustic guidance systems being used at that moment, and third RM performs aiming, operating in passive detection mode — reconnaissance, and, receiving seismoacoustic information, determines direction — angle α relative to specified line m, on which RM are located, and range L to target, then outputs a correcting control signal to RM, operating in destruction mode, where take place processing and calculation of turning angle — angle β relative to line m. Thereafter, the submunition is launched towards the target. RM operating in reconnaissance mode, at this time, performs detection and identification of new targets, while stationary and at distance of 5 to 50 meters from noise effects occurring during launching of submunitions. After firing all submunitions, RMs operating in destruction mode switch to passive detection mode.

EFFECT: use of RM with submunitions of anti-roof mines in three different modes: reconnaissance, destruction and relaying.

Description

The invention relates to the field of military science, in particular to devices for delivering and launching submunitions of anti-roof mines and can be used to increase the effectiveness of destruction of enemy armored vehicles.

Currently, RTS with anti-roof submunitions is planned to be used to detect, aim and destroy enemy armored vehicles.

The currently used method involves installing submunitions 1 (Fig. 1) on robotic vehicles 2 (RTS) and launching them when a target is detected. One platform can accommodate from 4 to 8 submunitions.

On board each of the RTS there are acoustic 3 and seismic sensors 4 designed to detect enemy armored vehicles and guide submunitions to the target. After launch, jet engines located on opposite sides of the submunition fire and spin it around its axis with an inclination of 30 degrees relative to the vertical axis.

While in flight, a target detection system consisting of infrared and radar sensors begins to operate on the submunition, while the search area is limited to a cone of 30 degrees.

Having detected the target, the submunition comes into action, and the charge is detonated in the form of a cumulative funnel with a copper shell, weighing 2.5 kg. As a result, a cumulative jet is formed, which is capable of penetrating armor up to 70 mm from a height of 30 m and causing the destruction of armored vehicles, as well as damage to personnel (crew) [1].

This method has a number of disadvantages:

- before firing, the robotic device must take the required position to fire the submunition towards the target, and for this it is necessary to temporarily exclude the seismic-acoustic guidance system from operation;

- repeated shots can only be fired after some time, which is required to detect and identify a new target;

- there are a large number of means of simulating armored vehicles, so there is a high probability of false positives [2].

The technical result of the proposed method is aimed at eliminating these shortcomings.

The diagram (Fig. 2) presents a new method of using robotic means for constructing anti-roof minefields. RTS 1 and 3 operate in defeat mode and their seismic-acoustic guidance system is not currently activated. The adjacent RTS 2, which is in passive detection (reconnaissance) mode, is used as an aiming device.

The detection range of the seismic sensor is 200 meters, the direction is determined by the acoustic system. The range from the RTS in the defeat mode should be from 5 to 50 meters.

Taking into account the relative position of both RTS, the aiming device receives seismic-acoustic information and issues a corrective control signal to the RTS, designed to destroy armored vehicles.

To aim and shoot an RTS submunition, one operating in the destruction mode only needs to be at the desired angle relative to a predetermined line, which is included in the control program of each weapon before performing the task.

The diagram (Fig. 3) shows a diagram of the use of this method. The aiming RTS determines the direction (angle α) relative to a given line m and range to the goal.

This information is sent to the target RTS, where the rotation angle (angle β) relative to m is processed and calculated, after which the submunition is launched towards the target. Both engagement RTS can operate simultaneously, and firing the next submunition only requires turning to a new aiming angle.

At this time, the reconnaissance RTS detects and identifies new targets while stationary and away from the noise effects that occur during the launch of submunitions, which significantly increases the accuracy of determining the range and direction to the target.

After shooting all submunitions, RTS 1 and 2 can switch to passive detection mode. To ensure secrecy, various RTS can change their location and functionality. RTSs that have exhausted their functions can continue to act as repeaters.

Thus, all RTS will perform their functions consistently and with greater efficiency, due to an increase in the speed of firing submunitions and high aiming accuracy.

This method will allow the use of seismic-acoustic guidance equipment without the need for constant retargeting and waiting for the shooting of submunitions, as well as in the absence of interference from acoustic and seismic effects that occur during shooting. The operation of several RTS in reconnaissance mode will make it possible to determine the coordinates of targets with higher accuracy.
