Abstract
A reconnaissance device (1) comprising, an elongated body (3) having a flight-arresting device at one end, an image-forming device (7) at the other and a telemetry package (9) in the central part of the body of the device. Preferably the device is interchangeable with a standard mortar bomb.
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for tactical reconnaissance and survey.
- Existing methods of tactical reconnaissance and survey involve the use of aircraft, manned or remotely controlled, or mobile reconnaissance units, traditionally light cavalry. Both these methods have disadvantages in that very heavy equipment use is involved and they often cannot respond either quickly enough, or on a sufficiently localised scale, particularly in the case where the military situation is very fluid.
- There is, therefore a need for a highly mobile, inexpensive, preferably expendable, reconnaissance device which is capable of being used by ground troops when in, or about to become in contact with an adversary.
- An aerial reconnaissance device comprising an elongated body having a flight-arresting device at one end, an image-forming device at the other end, a telemetry package adpated to transmit to a receiving station an image of a scene viewed by the image-forming device and means for deploying the flight-arresting device at a suitable point in the flight path of the reconnaissance device when it is in use.
- The image-forming device preferably is a solid-state television camera which may be adapted to operate in the visual or infra-red regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
- The telemetry package in addition to being adapted to transmit to a receiving station an image of the scene viewed by the image-forming device, may be adapted also to measure air temperature, wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, and the range of objects in the field of view of the image-forming device.
- Preferably the device is in the form of a projectile, most suitably, such that it can be launched from a conventional mortar, although other forms of projectile, or even free-falling devices which can be launched from aircraft, are envisaged.
- It is particularly advantageous for the device to be in the form of a mortar bomb of-conventional form so that it may be interchangeable with standard rounds of mortar ammunition. Such weapons are simple, highly mobile and used by troops in immediate contact with their adversaries. Also, mortars are high-angle, low velocity, weapons which would give the reconnaissance devices relatively high apogees without subjecting them to excessively large initial accelerations.
- The invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
- Figure 1 is a representation of an embodiment of the invention in the form of a mortar bomb, and
- Figure 2 shows the embodiment of Figure 1 in use.
- Referring to the drawings, a reconnaissance device embodying the invention consists of a
casing 1 the overall shape and size of which is such that the reconnaissance device is interchangeable with a round of conventional mortar ammunition. Thecasing 1 is in three portions, anose cone 2, a central main body 3 and atail assembly 4. The complete assembly is adapted to be launched from a trench mortar in the usual way. Both thenose cone 2 and thetail assembly 4 are arranged to be separated from the main body 3 of thecasing 1 at an appropriate moment in the flight of the reconnaissance device. The main body 3 of thecasing 1 contains a fuse or other control device arranged to jettison thenose cone 2 andtail assembly 4 when desired; an optical system 6, shown schematically as a lens, and an associated solid-state video camera 7. Also contained in the main body 3 of thecasing 1 is atelemetry package 8 which includes transponders arranged to provide information as to the range of the device from its launching point, its altitude and possibly its orientation, a radio transmitter 9 andpower pack 10. An antenna for the transmitter 9 is incorporated in thecords 11 andcanopy 12 of aparachute 13 which is contained in thetail assembly 4 and deployed when thetail assembly 4 is jettisoned, as shown in Figure 2. The optical system 6 is surrounded by a shock-absorbent buffer 14. - The optical system 6, camera 7 and
telemetry package 8 are all protected against shock, both to enable them to withstand the launch forces and to enable the main body 3 of the reconnaissance device to be recovered and re-used. This is particularly important if it is used in a training role. - Signals from the transmitter 9 are received at a man-
portable command unit 15. Thecommand unit 15 is arranged to produce and display an image of the scene observed by the optical system 6 and its associated camera 7, together with range and bearing information derived from the output of thetelemetry package 8. A micro-computer contained in thecommand unit 15 is arranged to compute correction factors to enable the fall of observed live mortar rounds to be ranged onto selected targets. Wind drift may be derived either by telemetry from the reconnaissance device or by measuring the drift of objects in the displayed image of the scene observed by the reconnaissance device. Thecommand unit 15 may contain also a pattern-recognition facility to assist in target recognition. - The
command module 15 may include also a short duration recorder to enable scenes observed by the reconnaissance device to be reviewed if desired. Also, signals from thetelemetry package 8 related to the orientation of the reconnaissance device, particularly if it is being deliberately spun, may be used in thecommand module 15 to produce a steady image of constant orientation. Also the computer in thecommand module 15 may be programmed to produce an image on the display of constant size as the height of the reconnaissance device decreases, which may be to the same scale as standard military maps and/or include a scale bar. - The reconnaissance device may be stabilised against spinning by means of subsidiary drogues, or by winglets which are deployed at the same time as the
parachute 13. Alternatively, the optical system 6 may be mounted with its optic axis at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the reconnaissance device and the reconnaissance device made deliberately to rotate so as to enable a larger area to be viewed. The same effect could be achieved with a stabilised reconnaissance device by incorporating a scanning mirror in the optical system 6. Other optional features which could be included in the optical system 6, are interchargeable lenses of differing focal lengths or a zoom lens operated by signals from thecommand unit 15. Thetelemetry package 8 also may include detectors arranged to pick up and relay to thecommand unit 14 radio signals and/or vehicle ignition emissions. - A modified form of the device which can be used for covert reconnaissance does not deplay a parachute or a balloon but uses air brakes which form part of the
casing 1 of the reconnaissance device.
