Abstract

The drone simulates the magnetic signature of a ship using electromagnetic coils (2) positioned at the front and rear of the drone, each formed from a number of partial windings, supplied from respective network stages. Each of the network stages is coupled to a common control processor and programme source, such that the partial windings individual dipoles with differing polarity and/or magnetic field strength. Pref. the drone has a remote-control device for communication with a remote-control point, from which the entire mine clearing operation, pref. employing a number of drones, is controlled.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fahrzeug zur Räumung von Seeminen mittels magnetischer Schiffssignatursimulatation.The invention relates to a vehicle for clearing sea mines by means of magnetic ship signature simulation.

Als Fahrzeuge zur Räumung von Seeminen mittels Schiffsmagnetfeldsimulation sind Drohnen bekannt mit zur Magnetfelderzeugung auf der Schiffsaußenhaut oder auf einem Kesselkörper aufgebrachten Elektromagnetspulen.Drones are known as vehicles for clearing sea mines by means of ship magnetic field simulation with electromagnetic coils applied to the ship's outer skin or on a boiler body for generating magnetic fields.

Der Erfindung liegt d
ie Aufgabe zugrunde, ein derartiges Fahrzeug zur Räumung von Seeminen mit einer Verbesserung der Zielschiffähnlichkeit zu schaffen.The invention lies d
The task is based on creating such a vehicle for the clearing of sea mines with an improvement in the target ship resemblance.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist ein Fahrzeug zur Räumung von Seeminen mittels magnetischer Schiffssignatursimulation, mit einer die ferritischen Anteile des Fahrzeuges ausnutzenden Elektromagnetspulenanordnung vorgesehen. Das Fahrzeug weist sowohl im vorderen als auch im hinteren Fahrzeugteil je eine Elektromagnetspule auf, von denen jede in mehrere Teilwicklungen unterteilt ist, die jede für sich mit einem eigenen Netzgerät verbunden sind. Die Netzgeräte sind ihrerseits sämtlich an einem einzigen Steuerrechner und Programmgeber angeschlossen.To achieve the object, a vehicle for clearing sea mines by means of magnetic ship signature simulation is provided, with an electromagnetic coil arrangement that uses the ferritic components of the vehicle. The vehicle has an electromagnetic coil both in the front and in the rear part of the vehicle, each of which is subdivided into several partial windings, each of which is connected to its own power supply unit. The power supplies are all connected to a single control computer and programmer.

Mit der Erfindung lassen sich in Abhängigkeit von der Anzahl der Teilwicklungen magnetische Einzeldipole mit unterschiedlicher Polarität und unterschiedlicher magnetischer Feldstärke erzeugen. Es ist eine Erhöhung der bei bestimmten Minenzündgeräten eine große Bedeutung aufweisenden vertikalen Feldkomponente BZ ermöglicht, durch Totalverpolung der vorderen und hinteren Teilwicklungen gegeneinander. Es ist ferner eine Feldumpolung der Fahrzeugsignatur durch Verpolung gewisser Teilwicklungen ermöglicht. Diese manipulierte Feldumkehrung führt bei bestimmten Seeminenzündgeräten zur Auslösung, da diese Feldumpolung von der Mine als Zielüberlauf interpretiert wird. Es ist außerdem eine Nutzung für magnetischen Pulsräumbetrieb möglich. Schließlich ist durch die Erfindung auch eine Nutzung für die notwendige Entmagnetisierung der Drohne bzw. des Räumfahrzeuges nach jeder Minenräumoperation ermöglicht.Depending on the number of partial windings, the invention can be used to generate magnetic single dipoles with different polarity and different magnetic field strength. An increase in the vertical field component BZ, which is of great importance in certain mine detonators, is made possible by total polarity reversal of the front and rear partial windings from one another. A field polarity reversal of the vehicle signature is also made possible by reversing the polarity of certain partial windings. This manipulated field reversal leads to triggering in certain marine mine detectors, since this field reversal is interpreted by the mine as a target overflow. It can also be used for magnetic pulse clearing. Finally, the invention also enables use for the necessary demagnetization of the drone or the clearing vehicle after each mine clearing operation.

Die Erfindung wird anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles nachfolgend näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing.

In der Zeichnung zeigt

Figur 1
ein Fahrzeug mit vorderen und hinteren Elektromagnetteilwicklungen, und
Figur 2
ein Blockschaltbild.
In the drawing shows
Figure 1
a vehicle with front and rear electromagnetic part windings, and
Figure 2
a block diagram.

Gemäß Figur 1 ist ein unbemanntes Fahrzeug 1 vorgesehen, das sowohl in seinem vorderen als auch in seinem hinteren Bereich je eine Elektromagnetspule aufweist, von denen jede mit etlichen Teilwicklungen 2 versehen ist. Die Teilwicklungen 2 sind direkt auf der Fahrzeugaußenhaut aufgebracht. Sie können aber auch auf einem speziellen Kesselkörper angebracht sein. Jede Teilwicklung 2 wird von einem bipolaren, programmierbaren Netzgerät 3 gespeist, das zusammen mit allen anderen Netzgeräten von einem Steuerrechner und Programmgeber 4 programmiert und synchronisiert wird.According to FIG. 1, an unmanned vehicle 1 is provided, which has an electromagnetic coil in both its front and rear area, each of which is provided with a number of partial windings 2. The partial windings 2 are applied directly to the outer skin of the vehicle. But they can also be attached to a special boiler body. Each partial winding 2 is fed by a bipolar, programmable power supply unit 3, which is programmed and synchronized together with all other power supply units by a control computer and programmer 4.

Das Fahrzeug 1 weist einen eigenen Antrieb auf und ist für ausgedehnte Minensuchoperationen ausgerüstet. Es ist mit (nicht dargestellten), bekannten Mitteln versehen, die seine vollständige Fernsteuerung von einem abgesetzten Fahrzeug aus ermöglichen. Die Fernsteuermittel enthalten bevorzugt Mittel zum Empfangen und Senden auch von solchen Informationen, die für die Fernsteuerung des Steuerrechners und Programmgebers 4 oder aber für die Fernsteuerung der individuellen programmierbaren Netzgeräte 3 benötigt werden.The vehicle 1 has its own drive and is equipped for extensive mine search operations. It is provided with known means (not shown) which enable its complete remote control from a remote vehicle. The remote control means preferably contain means for receiving and transmitting information such as that for the remote control of the control computer and program generator 4 or for the remote control of the individual programmable power supplies 3 are required.

In einer nicht gezeigten vorteilhaften Ausführungsform befindet sich der Steuerrechner und Programmgeber teilweise oder vollständig an Bord eines abgesetzten Fahrzeuges, wie beispielsweise eines Schiffes oder Luftfahrzeuges, von dem aus das unbemannte Fahrzeug 1 ferngesteuert wird. In diesem Fall enthält das das steuernde mit dem gesteuerten Fahrzeug verbindende Link in bekannter Weise eine ausreichende Anzahl von Übertragungskanälen für den Datenaustausch zwischen den individuellen Netzgeräten 3 und dem abgesetzt angeordneten zentralen Steuerrechner und Programmgeber 4.In an advantageous embodiment (not shown), the control computer and program generator is located partly or completely on board a remote vehicle, such as a ship or aircraft, from which the unmanned vehicle 1 is remotely controlled. In this case, the controlling link connecting the controlled vehicle contains, in a known manner, a sufficient number of transmission channels for the data exchange between the individual network devices 3 and the central control computer and program generator 4 arranged remotely.

Wie es für einen Fachmann auf dem hier interessierenden Gebiet selbstverständlich ist, sind in dem Steuerrechner und Programmgeber 4 eine Reihe von Programmen gespeichert, mit deren Hilfe verschiedene Minensuch-Optionen einstellbar sind. Abhängig von dem benutzen Programm werden die Teilwicklungen 2 über ihre individuellen Netzgeräte 3 so gespeist, daß sich die oben genannten Nutzungen ergeben.As is self-evident for a person skilled in the art in the area of interest here, a number of programs are stored in the control computer and program generator 4, with the aid of which various mine search options can be set. Depending on the program used, the partial windings 2 are fed via their individual power supply units 3 in such a way that the uses mentioned above result.
