Definitions

  • the present invention relates to launching systems for flying machines, and in particular to missile launching and orientation systems. It can find its use for missiles of small or large dimensions, of the "ground-air” or “air-air” or “ground-ground” type.
  • Any system for launching and orienting flying machines comprises electronic control and supply means, as well as means necessary for the implementation of launching and orientation (mechanical, pyrotechnic means, etc.) under the control of said electronic means.
  • a missile launch and orientation system is known from US Pat. Nos. 3,286,956 and US-A-2,995,319 (base for the preamble of claim 1), which comprises launching means, aerodynamic control surfaces with their driving devices, as well as orientation means essentially comprising a gas generator and nozzles connected thereto.
  • the hot gases arrive from the gas generator which is located in the body of the missile, through the axes of rotation of the control surfaces, towards nozzles located in the rear part of the control surfaces and forming reactive jets directed parallel to the control surfaces.
  • the gas generator which is located in the body of the missile, through the axes of rotation of the control surfaces, towards nozzles located in the rear part of the control surfaces and forming reactive jets directed parallel to the control surfaces.
  • the launch and orientation system under consideration does not fully use the energy of the reactive jet, a jet which is parallel to the plane of the control surfaces, which decreases the angular speed of the missile when it changes direction towards the target. .
  • a system for launching and orienting missiles is known (International Patent WO 94/10527) which comprises launching means, aerodynamic control surfaces with their drive means, and orientation means comprising gas generators as well as nozzles connected to them.
  • this known system comprises a gas generator which is connected via gas pipes to pairs of nozzles; each pair is formed by two identical nozzles, oriented in opposite directions, the inlet ports of which face the outlet of their common gas pipe, and the diameters of which are identical to that of the outlet of the gas line.
  • This known system ensures the possibility of a rapid turn of the missile towards the target, thanks to the reactive jet ejected from each pair of nozzles, and perpendicular to the plane of the control surfaces.
  • orientation means form a block in common with the drive means for the control surfaces, which is difficult to integrate into the design of weak missiles. dimensions without degrading their aerodynamic properties. In addition, this excludes the possibility of dropping, after the missile has turned in the required direction, the inert mass represented by the orientation means.
  • This system could also be used for the above-mentioned modernization of inclined-launch missiles.
  • control system described in the article by Roger P. Berry, "Development of an orientation control system of the advanced kinetic energy missile” (ADKEM), AIAA-92-2763, also includes launching means, aerodynamic control surfaces with drive, as well as orientation means intended to be installed in the rear part of the missile, and the production of which is based on gas generators connected to nozzles.
  • the system described in this article can be adapted to missiles with inclined launch (to carry out the modernization mentioned above) without considerable modification of these missiles.
  • This system provides for the release of the inert mass of the orientation means after the performance of their function.
  • the complexity of the system, the large size orientation means which are provided exclusively for the use of highly toxic liquid fuels (hydrazine), make the implementation of this system very difficult.
  • orientation means are located on the path of the gases ejected by the nozzles of the cruise engines of the missile, it is necessary to provide for the release of the orientation means immediately after the turn towards the target. Furthermore, this release must be carried out immediately before the ignition of the cruise engines, that is to say above the launch pad, which complicates the execution of military actions and is also dangerous for the objective to defend.
  • None of the missile launch and orientation systems mentioned above can ensure the interception of a close target in the difficult conditions of a vertical departure, for example from the area located in a massif forest. This is first of all linked to the production of the means for launching these systems, means which do not allow a height of the order of 40 m to be quickly reached, necessary for perfectly performing the maneuvers of orientation towards the target and the ignition of the cruise engine.
  • the main problem to be solved by the present invention is the realization of a universal missile launch and orientation system, which it would be possible to combine both large and small missiles, allowing the launching of the inert mass of the orientation means far enough from the launch pad.
  • This system must be as inexpensive as possible and must be able to be used for all missiles with inclined departure, and must be able to provide omnidirectional defense.

  • the annular body may include means ensuring its ejection by the flying object during the flight, which makes it possible to optimize the energy balance and to entirely release the inert mass which the orientation means represent after their use, at an instant. chosen, outside the launch pad area.
  • the nozzles of the orientation means are located in the same plane, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle section. This ensures optimal use of the energy of the reactive jets during the orientation of the flying object, and, consequently, allows the interception of the target near the launch pad.
  • the launch means are produced in the form of a launch container with front and rear covers, the internal volume of which has a cylindrical shape and is intended to receive the flying machine, the pressure generator being located at the bottom of the container, closed by a rear cover and by a protective shutter having a frustoconical lateral surface, the profile of which reproduces at least certain parts of the surface of the nozzle section of the annular body.
