Abstract
A method for protecting an object such as a ship emitting radiation against a missile equipped with an intelligent homing head for sensing the radiation has the steps of launching a diversionary projectile body away from the object and of dispersing the projectile body at a removed location to form a dummy target cloud. It has the further interposed step of activating a radiation means on theprojectile body immediately after launching that body. The radiation means radiates an energy form corresponding to the energy form from the later dummy target cloud, and continues to radiate that energy form until the dummy target cloud has formed and built to a sufficient level. A series of projectile bodies may be launched with a temporal and/or spatial offset, creating a continuous diversionary radiation path.
Description
METHOD FOR PROTECTING OBJECTS, ESPECIALLY SHIPS, THAT EMIT A RADIATION, PARTICULARLY INFRARED
RADIATION, AGAINST MISSILES
The invention relates to a method for protecting an object that emits radiation against missiles that are equipped with intelligent homing heads.
More particularly, it relates to a method in which a dummy target cloud of higher radiation capacity than the object is created from a dispersal of a projectile body 5 that has been fired from the object or from the object's proximity.
This method has been particularly applied to protect ships that emit infrared radiation against missiles equipped with a variety of scanning, imaging, correlating and/or spectrally-filtering intelligent homing heads.
Such a method, for example protecting S-boats from missiles 10 armed with infrared homing heads, forms the basis of the invention disclosed in German Published Application 34 21 734 A1 and European Letters Patent 0 240 819 B1. It exploits the functioning of the homing heads on missiles in the following way: the homing heads have optics that have a comparatively large aperture angle at the beginning of what is referred to as the 'seek phase', which 15 usually begins at a range of approximately 10 to 15 kilometres from an object.
For example, the homing heads can cover a seek region having an azimuth of approximately 3000 to 5000 metres and an elevation of approximately 300 to -- 500 metres. After recognizing the object, the homing head locks onto the object during the course of the continued flight of the missile, this being referred to as 20 'lock-on'. After lock-on, the angle of view of the optics of the homing head diminishes greatly both in azimuth and in elevation. At a range of approximately5 to 8 kilometres, at which the lock-on to the object usually commences, the area covered by the seek window of the homing head only amounts to about 100 metres in azimuth and about 50 metres in elevation. Until impact this area 25 continually reduces in size. An infrared diversionary dummy target cloud can therefore only be a distance of about 40 metres to 50 metres to the side of the radiation centre of the object, and only about 25 metres to 30 metres above the object, if it is to be acquired by the already-diminished angle of view of the 21~8~1 optics of the homing head. Additionally, the dummy target cloud must comprise a significantly higher infrared radiation capacity than the actual object.
The traditional method, however, has the disadvantage that a diverting effect, and thus protection, does not exist during the time between the - 5 firing of a projectile that is to become the dummy target cloud and the actual formation of that target cloud. Over and above this, a spatial distance is established between the firing location and the effective location (dispersal point) that is accompanied by more stringent demands for the positioning of the dummy target in the field of view of the homing head -- particularly, in the seduction case following lock-on --; otherwise, the desired diverting effect is not realized.
German Patent 33 26 884 C2 discloses a method wherein a shielding effect is created in the infrared region by a projectile body that develops a hot aerosol a short time after being fired. This is a shielding or smokescreen method that provides no possibility of leading a homing head already locked-in to the object away from the object.
German AS 10 96 805, German Letters Patent 258 538 and German Patent 34 21 734 A1 disclose shells that emit energy effective in the infrared range during flight; however, no teachings of the diverting or homing heads can be found therein.
~- The invention has an object of improving the - dummy target effectiveness of the of the previous methods in that a homing head locked onto an object to be protected can be reliably diverted away from the object.
This object is achieved by including a radiation means in the projectile body, and activating that radiation means upon launch of the projectile body. The radiation means radiates an energy form corresponding to that of the later dummy target in an intensity relevant for the homing head, beginning immediately after the launch and lasting until the energy form of the dummy target has been built up to an intensity relevant for the homing head.
It can be provided that the radiation means radiates continuously, or in a clocked fashion. Further ones of the projectile bodies may be launched at a temporal and/or spatial offset, with the radiation means on the further projectile bodies being activated and the projectile bodies being subsequently dispersed such that a chain of further, successive dummy target clouds arises.
Each cloud propagates from the respectively-preceding cloud. The clouds are connected by energy emission trails relevant for the homing head and caused by the respective radiation means.
The radiation means in the invention can comprise a pyrotechnical assembly, for example a gas generator, a flare assembly or a rocket engine.
The invention is based on a surprising perception that a provisional dummy target irradiates the rest of the object to be protected, and is identified by the homing head upon launch of the projectile body as being generated in the silhouette of the object to be protected itself. The provisional dummy target, which is generated with the radiation means that is immediately activated, decisively improves the defence efficiency of the known methods. After generation of the provisional dummy target, the homing head no longer "sees"
the rest of the object to be protected, but only sees the provisional dummy target. As the projectile body moves away from the object to be protected, the homing head follows the provisional dummy target -- formed like tracer ammunition by the radiation means -- which then moves out of the silhouette of the object to be protected and is reliably diverted into the later, ultimate dummy target. A diversion of the homing head can thus also ensue when the dummy target blooms outside of the field of view of the homing head, for example due to faulty positioning. A simplification of the self-defence system thereby derives, whereby the protective effect takes effect immediately after the launch.
The inventive method is set forth in greater detail below with reference to the accompanying Figure 1, which shows the sequence of steps of the inventive method with reference to a homing head approaching an object.
As Figure 1 shows, a guided missile FK armed with an infrared homing has located a ship S and first approaches the ship S on a flight path F1.At a time when the missile FK has already locked onto the ship S, a projectile body is launched from a position WK1 in a direction toward the position of a 216083~
dummy target SZ; the projectile body is launched along a launch path WB
proceeding from the ship S to be protected. A rocket engine, radiating continuous heat similar to tracer ammunition, has already been fired in the position WK1 with the launch of the projectile body; as a result thereof, the ship 5 S is already irradiated for the infrared homing head of the missile FK upon launch of the projectile body in the position WK1. Consequently, the missile FK
already draws a bead thereon in the projectile body position WK1, and then continuously alters its flight path from F1 to F2, F3, F4 and F5 as the projectile body continuously moves through the positions WK2, WK3 and WK4 along the 10 flight path WB in the direction toward the dummy target position SZ (projectile body position WK5). The projectile body then forms the dummy target SZ, where the missile FK strikes the dummy target.
Both individually as well as in arbitrary combination, the features of the invention disclosed in the above specification, in the drawing as well as15 in the claims, can be critical for the realization of the various embodiments of the invention.

A rocket engine, radiating continuous heat similar to tracer ammunition, has already been fired in the position WK1 with the launch of the projectile body; as a result thereof, the ship 5 S is already irradiated for the infrared homing head of the missile FK upon launch of the projectile body in the position WK1. Consequently, the missile FK
already draws a bead thereon in the projectile body position WK1, and then continuously alters its flight path from F1 to F2, F3, F4 and F5 as the projectile body continuously moves through the positions WK2, WK3 and WK4 along the 10 flight path WB in the direction toward the dummy target position SZ (projectile body position WK5). The projectile body then forms the dummy target SZ, where the missile FK strikes the dummy target.
Both individually as well as in arbitrary combination, the features of the invention disclosed in the above specification, in the drawing as well as15 in the claims, can be critical for the realization of the various embodiments of the invention.
