Description

La présente invention a pour objet un projectile pour la neutralisation d'une zone prédéterminée, telle qu'un aérodrome.The present invention relates to a projectile for the neutralization of a predetermined area, such as an aerodrome.

Quand on souhaite par exemple mettre hors service un aérodrome sous contrôle ennemi, il est connu de détruire les pistes d'atterrissage à l'aide de bombes spécifiques, dites bombes anti-pistes, dégradant en général partiellement la piste, afin d'en empêcher son utilisation.When it is desired, for example, to deactivate an aerodrome under enemy control, it is known to destroy airstrips using specific bombs, called anti-runway bombs, generally degrading the runway in general, in order to prevent it its use.

Les bombes anti-pistes sont à action immédiate ou à retardement mais, dans tous les cas, la zone dans laquelle elles se trouvent est une bande assez restreinte et bien définie par le passage de l'avion ou du cargo distributeur de ces bombes.Anti-runway bombs are immediate or delayed action but, in all cases, the zone in which they are located is a fairly restricted band and well defined by the passage of the plane or the cargo ship distributing these bombs.

La présente invention a pour objet la neutralisation d'une zone, telle qu'un aérodrome, neutralisation réalisée en rendant dangereuse et/ou en détruisant tout ou partie de la zone, par exemple une ou plusieurs pistes ou chemins de roulement des avions, connus sous le nom anglo-saxon de taxiways.The present invention relates to the neutralization of an area, such as an aerodrome, neutralization carried out by making dangerous and / or destroying all or part of the area, for example one or more runways or taxiways of aircraft, known under the Anglo-Saxon name of taxiways.

A cet effet, un ensemble de projectiles est distribué sur l'aérodrome, par un avion ou un cargo par exemple, chacun des projectiles comportant au moins :
- un tube formant mortier ;
- une munition contenue dans le tube, telle que grenade ou obus ;
- au moins trois ailettes, de préférence déployables à partir du tube et, dans un mode de réalisation préféré, orien­ tées par rapport au tube de sorte à conférer à celui-ci un mouvement de rotation pendant sa trajectoire ;
- des moyens d'éjection de la munition après l'atter­rissage du tube, l'éjection se produisant par exemple immédia­tement ou après un certain retard ou encore sur commande d'un capteur de bruit ou de proximité.To this end, a set of projectiles is distributed on the aerodrome, by an airplane or a cargo ship for example, each of the projectiles comprising at least:
- a mortar tube;
- ammunition contained in the tube, such as a grenade or shell;
- at least three fins, preferably deployable from the tube and, in a preferred embodiment, orient tees relative to the tube so as to impart thereto a rotational movement during its trajectory;
- Means for ejecting the ammunition after the tube has landed, ejection occurring for example immediately or after a certain delay or even on command of a noise or proximity sensor.

Lors de l'atterrissage, les ailettes forment un pied pour le tube-mortier et, sous commande des moyens d'éjection, la munition est éjectée à une certaine distance du tube, c'est-à-­dire du point d'atterrissage initial du projectile, dans une direction dépendant uniquement de l'orientation du tube une fois posé sur le sol.When landing, the fins form a base for the mortar tube and, under the control of the ejection means, the ammunition is ejected at a certain distance from the tube, that is to say from the initial landing point of the projectile, in a direction depending only on the orientation of the tube once placed on the ground.

De la sorte, la zone rendue dangereuse, et donc neutralisée, n'est plus simplement la zone de distribution des projectiles ; en outre, ceux ci pouvant être distribués hors des pistes ou taxiways, ils sont plus difficilement repérables et neutralisables.In this way, the area made dangerous, and therefore neutralized, is no longer simply the area of distribution of the projectiles; in addition, these can be distributed off the runways or taxiways, they are more difficult to spot and neutralize.

Plus précisément, l'invention a pour objet un projectile de neutralisation de zone tel que défini par la revendication 1.More specifically, the subject of the invention is a zone neutralization projectile as defined by claim 1.

D'autres objets, particularités et résultats de l'invention ressortiront de la description suivante, illustrée sur les dessins annexés qui représentent :

  • - les figures 1a à 1d, un mode de réalisation du projectile selon l'invention dans différentes configurations qu'il prend successivement lors de son fonctionnement ;
  • - la figure 2, la succession des étapes de fonctionnement du projectile selon l'invention.
Other objects, features and results of the invention will emerge from the following description, illustrated in the appended drawings which represent:
  • - Figures 1a to 1d, an embodiment of the projectile according to the invention in different configurations that it takes successively during its operation;
  • - Figure 2, the succession of stages of operation of the projectile according to the invention.

Sur ces différentes figures, les mêmes références se rapportent aux mêmes éléments.In these different figures, the same references relate to the same elements.

Le projectile selon l'invention est par exemple distribué par largage à partir d'un porteur, avion ou cargo : c'est ce qui est représenté par la première étape (21) de la figure 2.The projectile according to the invention is for example distributed by dropping from a carrier, plane or cargo: this is what is represented by the first step (21) of FIG. 2.

Dans un mode de réalisation, le porteur ne largue pas les projectiles séparément, mais il largue des vecteurs, composés chacun de plusieurs projectiles qui se séparent ultérieurement les uns des autres comme décrit ci-après.In one embodiment, the wearer does not drop the projectiles separately, but he drops vectors, each composed of several projectiles which subsequently separate from each other as described below.

Sur la figure 1a, on a représenté schématiquement un mode de réalisation d'un tel vecteur.In Figure 1a, there is shown schematically an embodiment of such a vector.

Dans cet exemple, le vecteur, repéré V, se compose de deux projectiles P₁ et P₂ emboîtés l'un dans l'autre et fixés par tout moyen connu. Chaque projectile comporte un corps en forme de tube (T₁ pour le projectile P₁) fermé à l'une de ses extrémités par un nez (N₁), qui contient différents moyens électriques et électroniques de séquencement, de com­mande et d'alimentation. Sur la partie arrière (opposée au nez) du tube (T₁) sont montées des ailettes (A₁) qui, dans ce mode de réalisation, sont déployables et initialement repliées et qui sont au minimum au nombre de trois. A l'intérieur du tube (T₁) est disposée une munition, non visible sur la figure 1a. Elle y est maintenue par tout moyen connu, tel que clip de retenue, diaphragme, assurant en outre l'étanchéité du tube, etc...In this example, the vector, marked V, consists of two projectiles P₁ and P₂ nested one inside the other and fixed by any known means. Each projectile comprises a tube-shaped body (T₁ for the P₁ projectile) closed at one of its ends by a nose (N₁), which contains various electrical and electronic means of sequencing, control and supply. On the rear part (opposite the nose) of the tube (T₁) are mounted fins (A₁) which, in this embodiment, are deployable and initially folded and which are at least three in number. Inside the tube (T₁) is disposed a munition, not visible in FIG. 1a. It is held there by any known means, such as retaining clip, diaphragm, further ensuring the tightness of the tube, etc.

L'étape suivante, 22 sur la figure 2, consiste à séparer le vecteur du porteur, après largage. Ceci s'opère classiquement, par exemple à l'aide d'un parachute logé à l'arrière du vecteur V et dont l'ouverture est commandée par le largage du vecteur.The next step, 22 in FIG. 2, consists in separating the carrier vector, after dropping. This is done conventionally, for example using a parachute housed at the rear of the vector V and the opening of which is controlled by the release of the vector.

L'étape suivante, 23 sur la figure 2, consiste en un déploiement des ailettes de celui des projectiles qui est situé le plus à l'arrière du vecteur V, à savoir les ailettes A₂ du projectile P₂, comme représenté sur la figure 1b. Ces ailettes ont une première fonction qui est, classiquement, de stabiliser la trajectoire du vecteur. En outre, dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la surface de chacune des ailettes n'est pas parallèle à l'axe longitudinal XX du vecteur, mais fait avec celui-ci un angle non nul de sorte à conférer au vecteur un mouvement de rotation autour de son axe longitudinal.The next step, 23 in FIG. 2, consists in deploying the fins of that of the projectiles which is located furthest behind the vector V, namely the fins A₂ of the projectile P₂, as shown in FIG. 1b. These fins have a first function which is, conventionally, to stabilize the trajectory of the vector. In addition, in a preferred embodiment, the surface of each of the fins is not parallel to the longitudinal axis XX of the vector, but forms with it a non-zero angle so as to give the vector a rotational movement around its longitudinal axis.

L'étape suivante (24, figure 2) est la séparation des projectiles P₁ et P₂ Cette séparation peut être commandée par exemple par un dispositif de chronométrie ou par une fusée proximétrique, c'est-à-dire un dispositif déclenchant la séparation à une certaine distance du vecteur par rapport au sol. Le projectile P₂ continue alors sa trajectoire vers le sol comme représenté sur la figure 1c. Parallèlement, les ailettes du projectile P₁ sont déployées et celui-ci continue sa propre trajectoire vers le sol, étant de la même manière de préférence animé d'un mouvement de rotation autour de son axe longitudinal. Préférentiellement, l'angle que fait la surface des ailettes avec l'axe longitudinal est différent pour les deux projectiles, pour les raisons exposées ci-après.The next step (24, FIG. 2) is the separation of the P₁ and P₂ projectiles. This separation can be controlled, for example, by a chronometric device or by a proximet rocket, that is to say a device triggering the separation at a certain distance of the vector from the ground. The Pile projectile then continues its trajectory towards the ground as shown in FIG. 1c. In parallel, the fins of the P₁ projectile are deployed and the latter continues its own trajectory towards the ground, being likewise preferably driven in a rotational movement around its longitudinal axis. Preferably, the angle made by the surface of the fins with the longitudinal axis is different for the two projectiles, for the reasons explained below.

Dans le cas où le vecteur V comporte plus de deux projectiles, ce mécanisme se répète autant de fois qu'il y a de projectiles à séparer en commençant, de préférence, par la séparation de celui des projectiles situé le plus à l'arrière de l'emboîtement.In the case where the vector V comprises more than two projectiles, this mechanism is repeated as many times as there are projectiles to be separated, preferably starting with the separation of that of the projectiles located furthest back from nesting.

A la fin de leur trajectoire, chacun des projectiles rencontre le sol (étape 25 sur la figure 2) où il se pose de telle sorte que le tube-mortier T fasse un angle non nul avec le plan du sol, les ailettes formant en effet un pied pour le tube. C'est ce qui est illustré sur la figure 1d, où on a représenté les deux projectiles P₁ et P₂ posés sur le sol S, les tubes T₁ et T₂ étant orientés dans des directions différentes. Le fait que l'orientation de ses ailettes confère un mouvement de rotation au projectile, de préférence différent d'un projectile à l'autre, permet d'augmenter la probabilité d'obtenir des tubes orientés dans les directions différentes.At the end of their trajectory, each of the projectiles meets the ground (step 25 in Figure 2) where it is posed so that the mortar tube T makes a non-zero angle with the ground plane, the fins forming indeed a foot for the tube. This is what is illustrated in FIG. 1d, where the two projectiles P₁ and P₂ placed on the ground S have been shown, the tubes T₁ and T₂ being oriented in different directions. The fact that the orientation of its fins imparts a rotational movement to the projectile, preferably different from one projectile to another, makes it possible to increase the probability of obtaining tubes oriented in the different directions.

L'étape suivante (26, figure 2) est l'éjection de la munition contenue dans le tube T. C'est ce qui est représenté par une flèche pointillée sur la figure 1d. L'éjection peut être soit instantanée, soit différée d'une durée prédéterminée, de préférence variable d'un projectile à l'autre, soit déclenchée par un capteur de proximité ou de bruit ; on peut utiliser par exemple un capteur sensible à certains types de bruits, comme un bruit d'hélice. Ces moyens de déclenchement sont contenus dans le nez N du projectile.The next step (26, Figure 2) is the ejection of the ammunition contained in the tube T. This is what is represented by a dotted arrow in Figure 1d. Ejection can be either instantaneous or delayed by a predetermined period of time. variable preference from one projectile to another, either triggered by a proximity or noise sensor; it is possible, for example, to use a sensor sensitive to certain types of noise, such as a propeller noise. These triggering means are contained in the nose N of the projectile.

La dernière étape (27, figure 2) est la mise à feu de la munition. La munition peut être par exemple du type grenade, obus, mine, mine munie de fil, etc .... La mise à feu peut être instantanée, lors de l'impact de la munition sur le sol ; elle peut être différée, à l'aide de moyens de déclenchement du type de ceux décrits ci-dessus pour l'éjection de la munition ; elle peut être encore réalisée avant impact de la munition sur le sol, à l'aide de moyens du type fusée chronométrique ou proximétrique.The last step (27, Figure 2) is the firing of the ammunition. The ammunition can be for example of the grenade, shell, mine, mine provided with wire type, etc .... The ignition can be instantaneous, during the impact of the ammunition on the ground; it can be deferred, using triggering means of the type described above for ejecting the ammunition; it can still be carried out before impact of the munition on the ground, using means of the chronometric or proximetric rocket type.

De la sorte, les munitions étant éjectées, ou susceptibles de l'être, à une certaine distance du point d'atterrissage initial du projectile, il apparaît que la zone neutralisée n'est pas confondue avec la zone de distribution des projectiles. En outre, l'orientation aléatoire des tube-mortiers ne permet pas de déterminer facilement la zone effectivement dangereuse. Enfin, le fait que le point d'impact de la munition soit différent de celui du projectile permet de rendre un passage (piste ou taxiway) dangereux alors que la source du danger (le tube-mortier) ne se trouve pas sur le passage en question ; le tube-mortier est alors plus difficilement locailsable, donc neutralisable.In this way, the munitions being ejected, or likely to be ejected, at a certain distance from the initial landing point of the projectile, it appears that the neutralized zone is not confused with the projectile distribution zone. In addition, the random orientation of the mortar tubes does not allow the effective danger area to be easily determined. Finally, the fact that the point of impact of the ammunition is different from that of the projectile makes it possible to make a passage (track or taxiway) dangerous while the source of the danger (the mortar tube) is not found on the passage in question; the mortar tube is then more difficult to locate, and therefore neutralizable.

La description faite ci-dessus l'a été bien entendu à titre d'exemple non limitatif. C'est ainsi, notamment, que le projectile selon l'invention est applicable à la neutralisation de tout type de zone : point de passage obligé, zone de déploiement de forces ennemies, etc ... . C'est ainsi également que le projectile peut être lancé à partir du sol, les étapes 21 et 22 de la figure 2 étant remplacées par une étape de lancement. C'est ainsi encore que tout ou partie des ailettes peuvent être non plus déployables mais fixes, ce qui est plus simple mais pénalisant sur le plan encombrement pendant l'emport.The description given above has been understood by way of non-limiting example. It is thus, in particular, that the projectile according to the invention is applicable to the neutralization of any type of zone: compulsory crossing point, zone for the deployment of enemy forces, etc. It is also thus that the projectile can be launched from the ground, the steps 21 and 22 of FIG. 2 being replaced by a launching step. It is thus also that all or part of the fins can no longer be deployable but fixed, which is simpler but penalizing in terms of space during transport.
