Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for deflecting missiles guided by radar and / or infrared radiation, in particular for the protection of seagoing vessels and ship groups, in which projectiles producing mock targets are ignited in or in front of the target area of the missile.
  • a deflection system corresponding to the preamble of claims 1 and 6 is known from FR-A-2 383 419 in connection with "radio systems for location and navigation", Kramar, publishers Hopkins Union and Kohlcro, pp. 18 u. 25, known.
  • Radar the deflection of missiles guided by radar and / or infrared radiation in or in front of the target area of the missile.
  • the approaching missile should align itself with the apparent target in order to be distracted by the threatened ship or ship association.
  • this type of distraction is not always sufficient, especially in ship associations. It is possible and likely that the missile will switch from one ship to another and hit the ship after it has been deflected, particularly in the case of relatively tightly spaced ship groups.
  • the object underlying the invention was to develop a method of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that the approaching missile is deflected in a predetermined deflection direction, which can be determined so that the missile no longer moves after its deflection is able to switch to an alternative destination.
  • the invention further relates to a device for carrying out the method according to the invention with the features from patent claim 6, an advantageous embodiment of this device being described in patent claim 7.
  • the method according to the invention is primarily intended to protect ship groups, but it can also be used to protect individual ships, for example in the form that ships in crisis areas, for example tankers, can be equipped with a device according to the invention in order to counteract the To be protected by missiles and to protect other tankers traveling in a convoy.
  • the device according to the invention When using the method according to the invention for the protection of ship groups, it can also be advantageous to install the device according to the invention on unmanned escort ships, so that the diversion can be carried out at a relatively great distance from the ship group, where there is sufficient space for fixing the direction of deflection is available.
  • Conventional throwing bodies can be used as throwing bodies, which, for example, for generating an infrared glow target contain a certain effective mass known per se, due to which after ignition of the throwing body an infrared radiation-imitating cloud arises which has a low sinking speed with a large radiation area and thus has a ship-like characteristic.
  • Throwing bodies can be used to deflect radar-controlled missiles which contain a so-called "double active mass" which is released after the firing body has been ignited.
  • double active mass a so-called "double active mass" which is released after the firing body has been ignited.
  • the method according to the invention can be used in a wide variety of ways.
  • the device according to the invention can be used both to protect the association and to protect the support boat itself.
  • the device for carrying out a method for deflecting missiles guided by radar and / or infrared radiation basically has the following individual devices: A device 1 for locating a missile and for determining its location, its flight direction and flight speed and, if appropriate, its type.
  • This locating device can contain a radar device and additional devices such as a periscope, a night vision device and / or an optical distance measuring device in a manner known per se. Furthermore, it contains devices known per se for generating electrical data representing the determined values.
  • This data is fed to a data processing system 2, which is also constructed in a manner known per se and, based on corresponding programs, calculates a deflection curve for the missile from the determined data based on a predetermined deflection direction, in the manner in which this is explained in more detail below.
  • the data processing system 2 also generates electrical control signals which are fed to a control device 3 to which a throwing pillar 4 is connected, which is also explained in more detail below.
  • Throwing pillars 4 are fired by means of the throwing pillar 4, specifically with respect to the firing direction and the firing sequence in such a way that at the end of the trajectory of the throwing body, after firing, apparent targets appear which lie at predetermined points of the calculated deflection curve. The conditions that occur here are explained in more detail below with reference to FIGS.
  • a device according to FIG. 1 is installed on a ship S, for example an escort boat of a ship association.
  • a missile FK controlled, for example, by infrared radiation is located, the direction of flight FB1 of which is determined together with the flight speed and possibly the type of missile.
  • a deflection direction FB2 is specified and a deflection curve AK is calculated, which can be part of a parabola, for example, one branch of which connects to the approach path FB1 and the other branch to the deflection direction FB2.
  • corresponding throwing bodies On the basis of the evaluated data, corresponding throwing bodies have to be fired from the ship S on ballistic tracks P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 and P6 in such directions and in a predetermined time sequence that the apparent targets Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4 are successively on the deflection curve AK , Z5 and Z6 arise so that the missile FK is successively oriented towards these apparent targets and thereby changes its trajectory overall in such a way that it continues to fly on the deflection curve AK and is finally deflected in the deflection direction FB2.
  • the throwing bodies are preferably shot in such a way that the ballistic tracks P1 to P6 are all the same Have an elevation angle of 45 °.
  • the clouds emitting infrared radiation representing the apparent targets Z1 to Z6 lie essentially in a horizontal plane, so that the missile FK is deflected on a horizontal path.
  • the missile FK is deflected by approximately 90 ° from its approach direction.
  • six apparent targets are sufficient in the described method, for example.
  • the deflection curve AK to be built up by the six apparent targets Z1 to Z6 is designed in such a way that the missile FK can follow this curve in any case, taking into account its own maneuverability and viewing window size.
  • the deflection curve AK can also be constructed mirrored on the approach direction FB1, so that the deflection in FIG. 4 does not take place to the right but to the left.
  • FIG. 1 the launching column 4 shown in FIG. 1 is shown in somewhat more detail.
  • the throwing pillar 4 shown has a basic device 4.1, which is connected to the control device 3 in the manner shown in FIG. 1.
  • a base plate 4.2 is arranged above the basic device, on which a two-part column 4.3-4.4 is rotatably arranged in a controllable manner.
  • twelve throwing devices are arranged at an elevation angle of 45 ° in six rows arranged one above the other on the circumference.
  • On the upper part 4.4 of the column there are twelve throwing devices in three rows arranged on the circumference, which are also at an elevation angle of 45 °.
  • the throwing devices 4.31 to 4.36 arranged in the lower part 4.3 of the column serve to produce deflection curves which are intended to protect a ship's association, while the throwing bodies arranged in the upper part 4.4 of the column are intended for the self-protection of the escort ship.
  • Rows 4.31 to 4.36 and 4.41 to 4.43 can each be equipped with combined IR and radar dummy targets, which have different ranges and disassembly times. With the help of these different ranges and dismantling times, the predicted deflection curves can be produced in connection with the side-aiming of the throwing pillar and a certain firing rate by the dummy targets.
  • the deflection measure can be carried out twelve times with the lower part of the launcher column 4.3 before it is necessary to reload the launcher column.
  • the twelve groups of throwing devices, each with six different throwing bodies, are loaded from top to bottom in row 4.36 with the throwing body that has the shortest range and ending in row 4.31 with the throwing body that has the greatest range (recoil) and therefore to avoid large ones Moments close to the turntable of the thrower column is arranged.
  • the upper part 4.4 of the launcher column can be used correspondingly equipped rows 4.41 to 4.43 missiles are fired, which create false targets, which are intended to protect the escort boat itself.
  • the creation of a certain deflection curve may be dispensed with, and it is only intended to prevent the escort ship itself from being hit by the apparent targets generated.
