Definitions

  • the invention relates to an automated weapons system ensuring the defense of an area, in particular against armored vehicles.
  • the system is more precisely made up of a set of weapons, also called mines, each comprising a indirect fire projectile.
  • an anti-tank defense system according to the preamble of claim 1, described in document DE-A-2,336,040; this system comprises a container comprising projectiles, forming an adjustable launching ramp.
  • anti-tank projectiles comprising releasable submunitions; each of the submunitions, after its release, is put into autorotation so that the axis of the detector which it contains sweeps the ground substantially in a spiral.
  • the mission which the system according to the invention proposes to fulfill is as follows: to form a system made up of a plurality of mines, capable of interacting with each other; the system must be deployable quickly; once initialized, it must be able to ensure a watch of given duration and, during this, to detect the presence of targets in the monitored area, to locate and attack them, all in indirect fire for reasons camouflage, thus prohibiting passage through a given area.
  • the system is optimized for the simultaneous attack on targets according to an ambush tactic, that is to say a massive surprise strike.
  • each of the mines comprises in particular a launching ramp, a projectile containing a military charge, initialization means which ensure in particular the positioning of the launching ramp and means of target detection.
  • the detection of a target has the effect of launching the projectile in the direction of the target.
  • the mine comprises means so that the projectile is launched in self-rotation around its longitudinal axis and maintains on its trajectory a constant flight attitude.
  • the projectile comprises means for detecting the target, rigidly fixed relative to the projectile and characterized by a high directivity according to a beam inclined relative to the axis of rotation, which thus performs a sweep of the ground in successive bands (hyperbolas).
  • the military charge is, for example, of the type with an explosive core.
  • Detection of the target triggers the firing of the military charge.
  • the axis of this makes with the longitudinal axis of the projectile a determined angle so that the footprint on the ground is maximum and taking into account the desired values for the angle of attack of the target (preferably by the roof ).
  • the subject of the invention is a weapon system for the defense of an area as defined by claim 1.
  • FIG. 1 therefore represents the different stages of the operation of the system according to the invention.
  • the system according to the invention consists of a plurality of weapons called mines; each of the mines comprises in particular target detection means and means for launching a projectile in the direction of the target.
  • This system begins with a first step, marked 1, of laying mines on a specific site from which the defense of the area will be ensured. Depending on the mission, the removal of the mines must be able to be very rapid. It is carried out by any known means: manual installation, dropping from a land or air vehicle (helicopter or carrier-carrier vector).
  • the following phase is an initialization phase identified 2, which takes place in several stages: successively the deployment of each of the mines (step 21) then, in a preferred mode, the calibration of the local environmental conditions of each of the mines (step 22).
  • each of the mines comprises means allowing its activation and its inhibition at a distance.
  • Phase 2 then includes an additional activation step (not shown in Figure 2). This activation / inhibition phase can be repeated several times during the use of the system and for possible lifting.
  • Figures 2a to 2d show the different phases of step 21 of deployment of a mine.
  • FIG 2a there is shown a mine 6 as dropped on a ground S, which may not be planar.
  • the mine comprises a launching ramp, for example a ramp 63 in which the projectile is arranged (not visible in the figure), lifting arms 62, folded along the ramp, the whole being covered in this embodiment of the invention.
  • a protective cap 60 ejectable. This cap can be advantageously used to add carrying means (handle for example) or removal (aerodynamic or pyrotechnic brake for example).
  • the ramp is also surrounded by a ring 61 forming a belt, the role of which is specified below.
  • Figure 2b shows the start of the mine deployment phase, the cap 60 having been ejected.
  • the projectile 7 comprises for example in its front part propellant nozzles 71, whose role is specified later.
  • the mine 6 includes a motor (not visible) used in particular to give the ring 61 a downward movement of the ramp 63 (arrows 66), thus spreading the lifting arms 62 (arrows 64), the arms 62 having this effect a lower part skews so that the movement of the belt forces the spacing thereof. This movement continues until the mine tilts and maintains in a stable manner the substantially vertical position, projectile upwards, as illustrated in FIG. 2c. At this time, mechanical means (not shown) ensure the escape of the belt of the motor device and its blocking.
  • this movement has no time constraints and can be greatly increased: in this way, it does not require significant power compared to the mass of the mine.
  • the minimum number of arms (62) required is three, it may be advantageous to have more, six for example, so that the mine can be raised even on very uneven ground. They can then form the mine envelope.
  • the mine is therefore illustrated in a vertical position, the belt 61 being in the low position, keeping the arms 62 apart and releasing the launching platform for the projectile 7; the latter consists of a base, masked in the figure by the belt 61, in which are arranged the means for detecting, controlling, and supplying the mine, a part 65 movable in rotation about the axis AA of the mine, similar to the circular of a turret, and a part 66 forming a mount for the ramp 63.
  • the process then preferably includes a step of vertical alignment of the axis AA of the mine.
  • the lifting arms 63 are mounted on a plate (not visible in the figure), itself connected to the base of the mine by adjustment means; the mine then also includes a sensor vertical and motor means acting on the adjustment means.
  • the next phase consists in rocking the launching ramp 63, of axis ZZ, by an angle ⁇ with respect to a horizontal axis HH normal to the axis AA of the mine, which will be the angle of the projectile's firing site.
  • the angle ⁇ is determined by operating a compromise between the range of the projectile, the travel time and the need to clear the trajectory of the projectile from the local relief; it is for example between 40 and 50 °.
  • the inclination of the ramp 63 is for example obtained by eccentricity of its pivot axis 67 on the carriage 66 relative to its center of gravity, allowing, after unlocking, traction and stabilization of the ramp by gravity.
  • each mine comprises one or more detectors, which may or may not be the same as those used in the later phases of the operation of the system.
  • the calibration is carried out using pyrotechnic charges deposited on the ground according to a given geometry; the laying is carried out either manually or preferably automatically, each mine then comprising for this purpose a pyrotechnic charge ejected during this step.
  • detectors carried by the launching platform of each of the mines have the function of detecting the irruption of targets in the monitored area and of provide an alarm signal intended to put the mine into the target detection phase (phase 4, figure 1).
  • the sensors used for this purpose are for example omnidirectional and / or seismic acoustics.
  • the power supply to the mines is such that monitoring can be ensured for a predefined period, for example of the order of ten days.
  • sensors ensure the location of the target, after a possible step of identifying its type.
  • the localization includes an evaluation of the distance from the target and at least of the direction of the running speed (or tangential speed) of the target to allow the shooting towards the future target.
  • the sensors used can be of several types and the information they provide can be superimposed and correlated to improve their ability to discriminate.
  • these functions are provided by acoustic and / or seismic sensors, which may or may not be the same as those used during the standby phase.
  • the detection is carried out using magnetometers or radiometric sensors, the system then comprising transmitters arranged in the field and a receiver carried by each mine; the detection information is in this case carried by the variation of the propagation conditions due to the target.
  • the transmitters are advantageously placed on the neighboring mines.
  • Mines can also include, in the same way, microwave and / or infrared sensors.
  • the sensors having to be in direct view of the target, the mine comprises a telescopic mast erected during the initialization phase and stopped so that the sensor, mounted turning at the top of the mast, is close to obstacles and close masks.
  • Each mine then calculates, using electronic means of calculation and from the measurements made by the sensor (s), the necessary elements of the trajectory of the target or targets, the optimum deposit for pointing its launching ramp and the optimum moment of launching the projectile.
  • the mine is programmed to fire its projectile only when the speed of movement of the target is sufficiently low compared to the width of the imprint and the travel time of the projectile (i.e. the distance target mine).
  • phase 5 is the engagement of a target (phase 5 in Figure 1) which is broken down into several stages, firstly a stage 51 of launching the projectile.
  • the ramp 63 ( Figure 2) being oriented at the deposit previously calculated by the rotation of the circular 65 under the action of the engine of the platform, which can advantageously be the same as that which actuates the belt 61, the propellant of the projectile is ignited and the latter is launched with the site ⁇ on a trajectory T.
  • the initial propulsion energy is supplied to the projectile 7 by the launching platform, by cannon effect, of the mortar type.
  • the stability of the projectile 7 on its trajectory is ensured by rotation of the latter around its longitudinal axis ZZ, coincident with the launching axis as well as, preferably, by an external geometry and a center of mass adjusted so as to minimize , at any incidence, the aerodynamic moment of pitch.
  • This autorotation effect is obtained either using scratches on the ramp 63, or using a suitable orientation of the gas jets produced by the projectile propellant and coming from the nozzles 71.
  • FIG. 4a is a diagram illustrating the trajectory of the projectile 7 as well as its position at different times.
  • This projectile flight step constitutes the second step (52) of the engagement phase (5).
  • the projectile 7 consists of a substantially cylindrical fairing 70, of axis ZZ carrying on its front part the nozzles 71. These make for example a given angle with the axis ZZ of the projectile (angle not shown in FIG. 3 ), in order to ensure the auto-rotation of the latter around the ZZ axis.
  • the nozzles are preferably placed at the front of the projectile in order to limit parasitic reactions on the launching platform.
  • the nozzles are at least two in number in this embodiment, but their number is preferably greater so as to average any asymmetries in construction.
  • the military charge marked 8; it is constituted for example by a charge with a core, that is to say an explosive charge 81 coated on its front face with a concave metallic layer 80 which, under the effect of the explosion, forms a core ejected at high speed along the longitudinal axis YY of the charge 8.
  • the projectile 7 also comprises target detection means, constituted for example by active and / or passive electromagnetic means, in the infrared and millimeter frequency bands; there is shown, by way of example, infrared detection means 91, as well as an antenna 90, arranged for example in front of the coating 80; the antenna is then produced by example in a very light material so as not to disturb the core of the military charge, such as expanded foam covered with a surface metallization.
  • the projectile also includes means for igniting the charge 8 and, optionally, balancing masses capable of symmetrizing its inertial distribution according to the stability requirements, not shown.
  • FIG. 4b is a perspective diagram illustrating the trajectory and the mode of scanning the terrain by the projectile detection means 7.
  • FIG. 4b an orthonormal reference frame OVRH has been shown, the axis OV representing the vertical and the plane OHR the horizontal, the axis OR carrying the projection on the ground of the trajectory T of the projectile 7.
  • a detection beam 92 of axis BB close to the axis YY of the charge 8, emitted and / or received by the detection means of the projectile 7 and the displacement of which is integral with that of the projectile.
  • the projectile 7 being in rotation about its axis ZZ, it appears that the beam 92 describes a cone whose trace on the ground is marked 93. Due to the combined movement of translation and rotation of the projectile, the ground is swept in strips parallel to each other and parallel to trace 93.
  • Curve 93 is the intersection of a cone by a plane, that is to say, in the general case, a hyperbola.
  • the width of the band surrounding the trace 93 is of course a function of the width of the beam 92 which it is preferable to choose relatively thin to improve the precision of the detection.
  • the distance between the successive traces 93 is a function of the speed of the projectile 7 on its trajectory T and of its angular speed around its axis ZZ.
  • the angular speed being constant and the projection on the ground of the speed of the projectile being approximately it, the step of the tracks 93 is substantially constant.
  • the detection means send a signal to the firing means of the charge 8; the core formed from the coating 80 is then ejected along the YY axis.
  • the detection axis BB must be slightly ahead of the firing axis, which is the YY axis of the military charge, i.e. pass before the YY axis on a target, to allow analysis and processing of detection signals.
  • the angle which the axis of the charge (YY) makes with the longitudinal axis (ZZ) of the projectile is determined so that the surface of the imprint is maximum for an angle of attack of the target as close as possible to the vertical (for example the vertical ⁇ 30 °).
  • the projectile further comprises means for inhibiting the firing when, due to the autorotation, the axis YY of the charge does not intersect the imprint E. This is achieved for example by creation of time slots during which shooting is prohibited (or authorized), for example by using the modulation of detection signals on the ground due to cyclic variations in distance and orientation relative to the vertical.
  • the mines are provided with means enabling them to interact with one another.
  • the system then comprises a plurality of mines, preferably at least four or five, deposited on the ground so as to be distant from each other: typically, a few hundred meters if the area monitored by each mine is of the same order of greatness.
  • these can be brought together in groups of a few units (4 or 5 for example) dialoguing only between units of the same group.
  • the mines also include a transmitter-receiver ensuring dialogue, for example in the form of coded and intermittent radio links. They also each include a clock and means for synchronizing the clocks with one another.
  • the management of exchanges is done according to a predefined procedure: for example, omnidirectional transmission according to a given order and duration.
  • the communication procedure adopted may or may not include the designation of a master mine, organizing the exchanges, and the replacement thereof if it does not work.
  • the initialization phase may also include a phase of assigning an identifier to each of the mines.
  • the plurality of mines capable of interacting is used to form one or more telemetric bases (acoustic, seismic), of large dimensions compared to those of the monitored area, which makes it possible to improve the separating power of the sensors and / or overcome the presence of masks on the ground, which may cause parasitic echoes.
  • an additional step is provided for locating, for each mine, the other mines in the system. This localization can be carried out for example using an acoustic marker launched vertically by each of the mines. The distance between mines and their angular position is then deduced from the propagation time of the sound wave emitted by the marker, between the latter and each of the mines.
  • the sound wave emitted by each marker has a particular signature or is coded, so as to facilitate its identification. The fact of having a marker fired by each of the mines introduces a redundancy making it possible to improve the accuracy of the measurements.
  • the possibility of communication between mines also allows, when several targets are present at the same time in the monitored area, the assignment of each target to a specific mine.
  • each mine is provided with storage means, containing the information allowing a sufficient characterization of the surface of its global field of intervention, the surface of the imprint of its projectile, the typical trajectory of the latter. and an oriented reference of the bearing angles.
  • This information is provided to the mine upon manufacture and, in part, just before removal, by incorporating, for example, an identification memory card which may include several options.
  • the storage means also contain the position of the other mines in the system and, consequently, the overlap zones of the interception areas of each mine relative to the angle of the launch ramp in standby phase.
  • each of the mines transmits, according to the programmed communication procedure, information on the identification of each target (if any), as well as on the angle and the spectrum of the target.
  • each mine Upon receipt of this information, each mine performs a processing, such as elimination of parasitic echoes, classification of bearing angles by spectrum, allowing the location of targets and their allocation and the determination of the engagement time, according to predefined criteria. .
  • each mine after having measured the directions of the targets it has detected, communicates these directions to the other mines.
  • Each of the mines receiving this directional information and also knowing the position of the other mines, calculates the position of the targets, chooses for itself the closest target and makes this assignment for each of the other mines.
  • Each mine deduces the number of possible engagements and compares it to a predefined threshold, identical for all mines. When the threshold is reached, each mine concerned fires its projectile. We thus obtain a simultaneous fire, decided autonomously by each mine.
  • each mine does not fire until after receiving confirmation of activation of a predefined proportion of the other mines in the group.
  • the mines in the system can include the usual safety devices, in particular devices prohibiting their lifting (by explosion of the charge for example) or devices ensuring their self-destruction, at the end of the maximum planned standby time. for example. It is also thus that the standby phase is not essential for the functioning of the system, the latter being able to pass directly from the initialization phase to the detection phase.
