Description

The invention relates to a device for combating armored shelters intended especially for aircraft, with at least two missiles.

Such a device is from DE 35 27 522 C2 known. There several can form the missiles Active body carriers can be provided as submunitions, which in one automatically through a shelter forecourts characterized target area of maneuvering shipment Carriers are provided. As submunitions can there missiles that can be corrected for the end phase are used. The individual missiles are independent of each other.

For fighting aircraft in shelters, it is from DE 33 46 406 C2 known to ignite a grup from drilling and subsequent charge warhead depending on the sensed impact staggering opportunities. When serving on a softly covered Under the shelter, however, an intrusion engine must first be fired, after which the intended coordinated effect of drilling and margin charge to penetrate the actual shelter reinforcement questionable is.

Against multilayer, especially active armor, according to the DE 32 07 220 A1 presents a tandem arrangement of a small balancing projectile a large balancing projectile can be used, the small Wuchtge lap coaxially held in front of the big cage and so the same is shot in time with the large balancing bullet. Against an Un due to the in practice inevitable trajectory deviations between the small and the large penetrator have a sufficient effect within the Shelters are not expected.

According to US 4,524,697 are used against reactive armor several similar penetrators staggered next to each other sen to in during the flight due to wire coupling between each other to cross a coaxial bullet path. Precisely because of this mechani coupling is a kinematically stable transition into the ge shared trajectory in time before hitting the target and without large speed reduction critical.

US-A 35 57 697 describes a bomb, in particular for Combating railroad tracks is provided to this interrupt effectively. This bomb can be two with each other connected by means of a flexible connecting element Show bomb body.

A torpedo weapon with two spatially separable ones Torpedo sections interconnected by means of a flexible Connecting element are connected, is from US-A 13 82 166 known. The connection between the two serves there Torpedo sections cause these to sink on describe a spiral path on the seabed.

The invention has for its object a device to create of the type mentioned, with which a effective combat of any hardened armored Shelters is possible.

This object is achieved in that the from a launch device launching a missile are powered by rocket engines that the first Missile a target detection device and a Control device for controlling the to be combated armored shelter, and that the / everyone Follow missile with an attached to the rocket engine signature of the seeker flying in front of the missile and a control device for course adjustment to the flying missiles are provided. According to the invention is the first missile especially for funnel-shaped Blast the controlled penetration location of the fighting armored shelter and the / everyone Follow-on missile, in particular for the residual penetration of the armor of the to be controlled shelter or to the effect inside the armored shelter provided. With the above Shelters are z. B. shelters for Aircraft. However, it can also be underground Missile bunkers and other target objects under extreme protection act. The first missile thus preferably has one high explosive effect and is especially intended to Clear the cover material from the armored shelter and the under the cover material of the shelter shake. The at least one of the first missile the following missile flies onto the cleared and shaken ceiling of the shelter on and then leads in the prepared, d. H. cleared area of the armored shelter the penetration process. The time-delayed mode of action of the individual missiles device according to the invention results in comparison to a only warhead that as a penetrator or as Tandem warhead is designed to be improved Penetration effectiveness. Even if due to an extreme Hardening of the armored shelter to be fought Penetration of the same should not be achieved, so enough the effect of the at least one following missile from at least through breaking out parts of the ceiling of the armored shelter such an effect on in the shelter parked aircraft to achieve that Operability at least reduced or temporary or is permanently excluded.

The search head of the / each following missile preferably points an infrared sensor. The at least one Follow-on missile that delays the first missile succeeds, the infrared principle can be used here make and on the drive motor of the first missile switch on.

The flight distance from the take-off device serial launch missile is preferably on the order of a second. According to the invention For example, fighting an armored shelter from board of a flying carrier possible. This can be done at a an air-to-surface missile at a predetermined time be discontinued, which is its pre-programmed goal, d. H. one armored shelter, whose coordinates are the missile have been entered with high precision in the so-called Top Combat Attack or Side Attack.

Further details, features and advantages result from the following description of an exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention, shown schematically in the drawing, for combating an armored shelter provided in particular for aircraft. The figure shows an armored shelter 10 , which is a hall 14 for aircraft 16 and 18 spanned by a ceiling 12 . The ceiling 12 of the armored shelter 10 is covered with floor covering material 20 . With the aid of this floor covering material 20 , an improvement, ie an increase in the hardening of the armored shelter 10, is provided. To protect the armored shelter 10 active and / or passive camouflage and deception measures are possible, which are z. B. can be a vegetation 22 of the armored shelter 10 .

The device according to the invention for combating the armored shelter 10 has missiles 24 , 26 , 28 . In the drawing, three missiles 24 , 26 and 28 are shown schematically. It goes without saying that two missiles may also be sufficient, or that more than three missiles are provided. The missiles ( 24 , 26 , 28 ) launching in series from a launch device (not shown) are driven by rocket motors. The first missile 24 has a target detection device 32 . In addition, the first missile 24 is designed with a control device for actuating the armored shelter 10 to be combated. The / each following missile 26 , 28 is provided with a seeker head 32 and with a control device for tuning the course to the flying missile ahead. The follow-up missile 26 is thus matched in terms of its flight course to the first missile 24 and the second follow-up missile 28 is matched with its flight course to the follow-up missile 26 flying in front of it. The search heads 32 are preferably infrared search heads which are based on the signature of the rocket motor 30 of the respectively flying missile 24 or 26 . The first missile 24 serves in particular to clear most of the ground covering material 20 from the armored shelter 10 and to point the at least one following missile 26 , 28 to the shelter 10 to be fought. The at least one follow-on missile 26 , 28 then performs the residual breakthrough through the ceiling 12 of the shelter 10, or it can be provided to bring the actual tactical charge to the target.

Since the at least one follow-up missile 26 , 28 is therefore intended for penetration, it is generally of a solid design, which is why it is unproblematic if the at least one follow-up missile 26 , 28 is to be combated in the target to be combated by the first missile 24 immediately before it hits collides with flying masses of material that are blown up by the first missile 24 or by the preceding missile flying ahead. The target detection with the aid of the first missile 24 and the course adjustment of the at least one following missile 26 , 28 to the trajectory of the first missile 24 advantageously makes it possible to successfully combat any armored shelter 10 with any amount of ground covering material 20 being thrown up.
