Abstract

In order to prevent a plurality of submunitions (guided missiles) which are ejected together over a target region and are each equipped with a radar target-search head locking onto the same target, the search heads are equipped with receivers which analyse the radiation reflected from targets to which they are being driven in each case, to determine whether the signal of another target search head is already included therein. If this is the case, the search head and hence the respective submunition searches for another target. The method according to the invention is suitable for use in the case of multiple munition systems which are controlled by radar target-search heads, for destroying a plurality of targets.

Zielsuchverfahren für endphasengelenkte MunitionTarget seeking method for end-phase guided ammunition

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Zielsuchverfahren für endphasengelenkte Munition, bei der mehrere, jeweils mit einem Radarzielsuchkopf versehene Tochtermunitionen (Lenkflugkörper) aus einem Behälter über dem Zielgebiet ausgestoßen werden.The invention relates to a target search method for end-phase guided ammunition, in which several, each with daughter ammunition (guided missile) provided with a radar seeker head from a container above the target area be expelled.

Bei der Verteilung der Tochtermunitionen auf die einzelnen Ziele verläßt man sich hierbei - soweit bekannt - auf die natürliche Streuung der ausgestoßenen Tochtermunitionen. Es läßt sich durch diese Art von Verteilung jedoch nicht verhindern, daß manchmal doch mehrere Tochtermunitionen dasselbe Ziel verfolgen, was zum einen eine Verschwendung von Munition und damit verbundenen Suchköpfen, zum anderen aber auch dazu führen kann, daß manche Ziele wegen der Mehrfachbeaufschlagung anderer Ziele überhaupt nicht angesteuert werden und deshalb entkommen können.When it comes to distributing the subsidiary ammunition to the individual targets, one relies on it - so far known - on the natural dispersion of the ejected daughter ammunition. It can be done through this type of distribution but not prevent that sometimes several daughter ammunitions pursue the same goal, what on the one hand a waste of ammunition and the associated search heads, on the other hand it is also a waste of ammunition can lead to the fact that some targets are not approached at all because of the multiple application of other targets and therefore can escape.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Zielsuchverfahren der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß die Aufschaltung mehrerer Tochtermunitionen (Lenkflugkörper) auf ein einziges Ziel verhindert wird.The object of the invention is to develop a target search method of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the connection multiple daughter ammunition (guided missile) on a single target is prevented.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß in einem Signalempfänger jedes Radarzielsuchkopfes die vom gerade verfolgten Ziel reflektierte Strahlung daraufhin analysiert wird, ob das von einem anderen Zielsuchkopf ausgesendete Signal, welches sich vom Signal des eigenen Radarsenders unterscheiden kann,According to the invention, this object is achieved in that each radar target seeker head in a signal receiver The radiation reflected from the target being pursued is analyzed to determine whether it is from someone else Target seeker emitted signal, which can differ from the signal of the own radar transmitter,

darin enthalten ist oder nicht und daß sich jeder Radarzielsuchkopf und somit auch jede damit verbundene Tochtermunition für denjenigen Fall, in dem das Signal eines anderen Zielsuchkopfes bereits im analysierten Echosignal enthalten ist, ein anderes Ziel zur Verfolgung sucht.is contained therein or not and that each radar target seeker head and thus each associated with it Daughter ammunition for those cases in which the signal from another homing head is already being analyzed Echo signal is contained, is looking for another target to pursue.

Ein Zielsuchkopf verfolgt also nur dann ein von ihm erfaßtes Ziel weiter, wenn dieses nicht bereits vom Sendesignal des Zielsuchkopfes einer anderen Tochtermunition beaufschlagt wird. Falls möglich, sollte aus Einsparungsgründen die Zahl der über dem Zielgebiet ausgestoßenen Tochtermunitionen der Anzahl der in diesem Zielgebiet zu erfassenden Ziele entsprechen.A target seeker therefore only continues to pursue a target it has detected if it is not already from Transmission signal of the homing head of another daughter ammunition is applied. If possible, in order to save money, the number of over the target area daughter munitions emitted correspond to the number of targets to be recorded in this target area.
