Description

The invention relates to military equipment and can be used in automatic complexes for defeating the enemy.

Known unmanned aerial vehicle T-RAM (A.V. Karpenko, Miniature unmanned aerial vehicle TEXTRON T-RAM MAVERICK (USA) MINIATURE UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE TEXTRON T-RAM MAVERICK (Military Technical Collection "Bastion" / [Electronic resource], - Access mode: http://bastion-karpenko.ru/maverick/ (accessed: December 1, 2016)

This unmanned strike aircraft has a drawback - the effectiveness of its ammunition both in manpower and in vehicles is extremely small and largely depends on its orientation at the time of detonation, and in armored vehicles the effectiveness is zero.

Also known unmanned strike system (RF patent 2558528) (prototype).

The unmanned strike system contains an aircraft with a fragmentation warhead and is equipped with a control unit, a satellite navigation system, a video camera, and a target range finder.

The combat element is made in the form of directional ammunition, throwing in the direction of flight a lot of ready-to-use striking elements, effective in manpower and unarmored equipment. This complex also has a drawback - it is practically unable to hit armored objects.

The aim of this invention is to increase the effectiveness of the unmanned strike complex on armored vehicles.

To achieve this goal, a new design of the strike complex is claimed, the combat element is made in the form of a cylinder and contains a housing, a cumulative funnel, explosives and a detonator. The combat element case is mechanically connected with the UAV case with a destructible connection and connected to it by two pairs of spring-loaded levers that ensure the extension of the combat element from the UAV case while maintaining the parallelism of the axes of the combat element and the UAV case. As a destructible connection, a bracket with a built-in pyroelement with a pusher was used, when triggered, the mechanical connection is eliminated and the combat element is able to move out of the hull under the action of levers, its own weight and the aerodynamic effect of the incoming air flow. A detonation circuit breaker is installed in the body of the combat element, electrically connected to the detonator of the combat element. When the combat element is fully extended from the UAV case, the latch ensures that the contactor operates.

The complex includes a rangefinder that determines the distance from the UAV to the target in the visible and infrared ranges and is electrically connected to the control unit, and the control unit ensures the operation of the combat element at a given distance to the target.

The figure 3 shows the lever with a slot in the transport and combat position.

The figure 4 shows a functional diagram of the placed equipment and communication between the elements of equipment.

The figure 5 shows a diagram of the combat use of an unmanned strike complex.

An unmanned strike system includes a UAV body (1), in the central part of which a combat element (2) is located. The complex also contains a control unit (3) located in the fuselage, a video camera (4), a satellite navigation system (5) and a range finder (6).

The combat element (2) includes a housing (7), a concave shaped-shaped funnel (8), explosive charge (9) and a detonator (10). In the transport position, the lateral surface of the hull (7) of the combat element (2) forms the skin of the central part of the UAV hull (1).

On the front side, the combat element (2) is connected to the UAV case (1) with a bracket (11), into which a bursting pyroelement (12) is built-in. The explosive pyroelement (12) has an electrical connection with the control unit (3).

On the sides of the housing (7) of the combat element (2) are paired levers with slots (13) with springs (14). The slots of the pair of levers (13) include pins (15, 16), rigidly fixed in the housing (7) of the combat element (2) and the UAV case (1).

In the housing (7) of the combat element, a latch (18) is installed, comprising a detonation circuit breaker (17) electrically connected to the detonator (10). When the combat element (2) is fully extended from the UAV case (1), the latch (18) fixes the combat element (2) in this position and ensures the operation of the contactor (17).

A range finder (6) installed in the bow of the UAV case (1) is electrically connected to the control unit (3).

The control unit (3) provides for the issuance of a command to operate the explosive pyroelement (12) with the subsequent transfer of the combat element (2) to the combat position.

The use of combat strike complex is as follows.

After the launch, the operator of the control station, using the information received via the electric communication line (21, 22) from the satellite navigation system (5) and the video camera (4), displays the complex in the combat use zone to search for the target. When a target is detected, the operator switches on the attack mode on the control panel. After that, the control unit (3) monitors the distance to the target according to the testimony of the range finder (6) via the electric communication line (19) and, at the corresponding moment, sends a command to the breaking pyroelectric element (12) via the electric communication line (20), which destroys the rigid connection (11) between the UAV case and the combat element case and gives a primary impulse to the extension of the combat element (2) from the UAV case (1). The extension of the combat element from the UAV case occurs under the action of the dead weight of the combat element, as well as under the action of paired levers with slots (13). The parallelism of the axis of the combat element and the UAV is ensured by paired levers with slots (13). When the combat element reaches the combat position, it is fixed in this position by the latch (18) and the contactor (17) is activated, closing the electrical circuit to undermine the combat element. Upon reaching a predetermined distance to the target, the control unit (3) via an electric communication line (23) gives a command to undermine the combat element (2) and its action on the target.

In the explosion of the explosive (9) of the combat element (2) from the material of the cumulative funnel (8), an “impact core" is formed, which hits the target at a speed of 2500-3000 m / s, due to which the target is hit.
