Definitions
- jamming for example, antitank guided missiles are deflected by jamming. Signatures corresponding to the engine of the enemy missile are generated. The engine is constantly being measured by the launcher to control the missile, and the deviation from the expected flight path is through missile correction. The additional signatures influence this steering mechanism. The rocket is deflected by the trajectory.
- Jamming can be realized optically or pyrotechnically.
- One optical variant is the generation of flashes of light by means of a stroboscopic lamp mounted stationary on the vehicle.
- a pyrotechnic variant is the pyrotechnic combustion in the relevant spectral range by means of a pyrotechnic torch, similar to a Bengal torch.
- the litter system of the self-protection system is primarily equipped with a pyrotechnic ammunition, in which irritation bodies are integrated, which generate a strong flash of light and / or a smoke / mist immediately upon triggering.
- the irritation bodies are supplemented by a smoke ammunition.
- a disadvantage of the optical solutions are the high technical Auffand, the high weight and the long time chain to the effect.
- the ammunition is fired in the direction of threat.
- This usually requires aligning the active substance throwing system (DE 10 2005 020 177 A1), which can bring about a time delay.
- Often several systems are necessary so that all threat directions can be covered simultaneously (DE 10 2005 054 275 A1).
- the invention has the object of improved jamming associated with improved integrability by weight savings of the launcher.
- the invention is based on the idea to perform an absolute separation of the functions camouflage and jamming. This allows the use of a small-caliber ammunition that emits only jammer. These jamming or ammunition are preferably fired vertically from the vehicle to be protected (object) in the height and / or side.
- the launch tubes are mounted perpendicular to the vehicle or object to be protected. brought and aligned.
- offset in height arranged ignition of a pyrotechnic set sufficient light flash is generated in the relevant spectrum, which interferes with the target mechanism of the approaching warhead.
- different heights of the split flashes above and / or laterally from the object may be generated by multiple ammunition.
- the launch takes place electrically or mechanically initiated by a small, compact launcher, for example, from magazines.
- the sub-timing for triggering the individual flashes of light is controlled by an electronic system. This is preferably part of the launcher.
- Fig. 3 is an integration option on / on a vehicle.
- FIG. 1 shows a compact launcher or a launcher 1 in a transparent manner, preferably with a plurality of launch tubes 2 oriented parallel upwards, which form a magazine 3.
- each of these launch tubes 2 is an ammunition. 4
- Fig. 2 shows the structure of the ammunition 4. This consists of a sleeve 5, from which one or more sub-body 6 (Jammer) are fired. Alternatively, the sub-body 6 (Jammer) sleeve free, are fired directly from the magazine 3.
- the ammunition 4 or sub-body 6 have a relatively small caliber for vehicle protection ammunition, for example 40 mm (medial caliber).
- the ammunition 4 and the sub-body 6 have interfaces 10 to the launcher 1, via which they are initiated electrically or mechanically.
- the subtraction for triggering the individual light flashes 8 is controlled by an electronic system 7. This is preferably part of the launcher 1.
- the decomposition flashes 8 of the jammer 6 are generated spatially above the vehicle 9 (FIG. 3).
- the decomposition height is preferably in the range of about 3-15 m above the vehicle 9.
- the height within the individual light flashes 8 is increasing.
- the shoot takes place from the vehicle 9, preferably vertically upwards.
- a lateral decomposition is therefore adjustable, with the decomposition takes place at falling height.
- FIG. 3 shows an exemplary arrangement of a launching device 1 on a vehicle 9.
- the breaking flashes 8 are generated at heights of, for example, 4 m, 8 m or 12 m above the vehicle 9.
