Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a weapon battery, in particular for flab fire units, wherein each fire unit has at least one sensor for recording target data, one Director for the calculation of the trajectory of a target and at least one effector for the combat target.
  • EP-B-0 551 667 discloses a weapon battery consisting of several guided missile launching stations.
  • the missile launching stations hereinafter also called fire units, have means for detecting a target and are connected to a central unit.
  • Each fire unit sends data relating to the position and speed of the currently pursued target to the central unit via the connections. This data is sent back by radio to all fire units immediately after receipt by the central unit.
  • Each fire unit contains a computerized control device that has a target sensor and tracker. The first sensor, which detects a specific target, communicates this to the other fire units, which are then locked out of the target's treatment, but continue to pursue it. This action is subject to a higher-level control algorithm, with the necessary calculations being carried out by the fire units.
  • the disadvantages of the weapon battery described above are based on the fact that the Fire units exchange their target messages via the central unit, so that at their Failure the whole system is shut down. In addition, the transfer of data be disturbed by radio. Furthermore, it is disadvantageous that a certain Cannot fight target at the same time with more than one fire unit.
  • Guided missiles are also suitable for longer operating distances and flying heights than barrel weapons.
  • barrel weapons are quick to defend against thanks to their short reaction time
  • Low-flying aircraft superior to guided missiles So that a low-flying aircraft can be used in rough terrain cannot sneak up unnoticed, the coordination of the fire units is special here valuable.
  • the above-mentioned network has the disadvantage that the data is transmitted from the sensors the data network flows to the directors, but not in the opposite direction. This is it is not possible for a sensor that has already detected a target to be another sensor can help to understand this goal as well. Nor is it possible for the directors can coordinate their operations because the one director cannot know which Target is fought by the other director. So it can happen that one target out of several Throwers are fought while another remains unmolested.
  • the invention has for its object a weapon battery of the type mentioned propose that does not have the disadvantages mentioned above and not only steering but also uses tube weapons, the latter tube weapons especially for the defense against Low-flying aircraft are suitable.
  • the combat plan is independent of each director calculated by the other directors from the available data, whereby at the calculation also includes information about the position and usability of all fire units be taken into account.
  • the proposed triangulative measurement of the target by passive sensors is especially cheap and effective because the target is not through electronic countermeasures can protect against it.
  • Another advantage over the prior art is that the use of unprocessed measurements instead of pre-processed estimates.
  • 1 denotes a sensor which measures the position and possibly also the radial speed of a target.
  • the sensor 1 can be a search sensor that measures many targets imprecisely or a follow-up sensor that measures a single target precisely. However, it can also be both.
  • the sensor 1 is connected to a director 2 who calculates and extrapolates the trajectory of a target and decides on the use of the sensor 1 and an effector 3, 4 , the effector 3 ( FIG. 1a ) being a thrower and the effector 4 ( Fig.1b ) is a gun.
  • the parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 are preferably far apart.
  • the director 2 is permanently manned because he does not emit radiation from active measuring devices or projectiles and can therefore be camouflaged better than sensor 1 and effector 3, 4 .
  • the spatial spacing protects the sensor 1 from the vibrations, the smoke and the heat of the effector 3, 4 .
  • FIG. 2 four sensors 5 are connected to two directors 7 via a data network 6 . 8 effectors in the form of throwers are designated, each effector 8 communicates with each director 7 in conjunction.
  • the mode of operation of this weapon battery is briefly described above in the prior art.
  • fire units are provided, each of which is formed from a sensor 10 , a director 11 and a launcher 12 .
  • the fire units are connected to one another via a central unit 13 .
  • the operation of this weapon battery is described above in the prior art.
  • each consisting of a director 24 and at least one sensor 25 and at least a first effector 26, or at least a second effector 27 are designated 20, 21, 22 and 23 four fire units exist.
  • the first fire unit 20 has a further effector in the form of the second effector 27 and the second fire unit 21 has a first effector 26 .
  • the third fire unit 22 has a second sensor 25
  • the fourth fire unit 23 has a further sensor 28 .
  • the directors 24 are connected directly and bidirectionally to their associated sensors 25 and can use them optimally, for example with the help of information from other sensors. Some of these sensors can be positioned upstream in such a way that they do not primarily serve to use the effectors 26, 27 , but rather to pre-warn and instruct the other sensors.
  • the directors 24 of the fire units 20, 21, 22, 23 are directly and preferably bidirectionally connected to one another by a ring structure 29 .
  • each fire unit 20, 21, 22, 23 forwards the data it acquires or receives to the next fire unit 20, 21, 22, 23 .
  • Each director 24 communicates with each other so that each of its sensors 25 can work with each other.
  • a sensor that has not yet detected a target can be instructed by another sensor that has already detected it.
  • two sensors which are pursuing the same target purely passively, to determine the distance of the target by triangulation without the target being warned by the reception of active radiation. If the target were to protect themselves by emitting interference signals, these interference signals would only improve the accuracy of the passive measurement.
  • FIG. 5a and 5b are indicated at 30 a representing a target aircraft with 31, 32 has two sensors, which can be either equal to or as shown be unequal.
  • a first and a second ellipse 33, 34 represent areas of the passive sensors 31 , 32 , in which one of the two suspects the target, as long as one sensor does not yet know what the other knows.
  • the ellipses 31, 32 are actually much slimmer than shown in Fig . 5b , because the angle information is usually much more accurate than the distance information in passive measurement.
  • a third, smaller ellipse 35 represents the area in which both sensors 31, 32 suspect the target when they work together.
  • the cooperation can consist, for example, of the sensors 31, 32 feeding their raw measurement data into a Kalman filter, which is provided, for example, in at least one director 24 .
  • a Kalman filter which is provided, for example, in at least one director 24 .
  • the weapon battery described with reference to FIGS. 4, 5a and 5b works as follows: on the basis of the information available, a combat plan is created which defines which target is fired at by which effector from which time when (for example, tube weapon 26 of the first fire unit 20 ) .
  • the combat plan is designed and continuously updated through a multi-dimensional and iterative optimization in such a way that the expected total combat success of all fire units is and remains maximum, taking into account the target change times and the limits of the ammunition stores, etc.
  • This expected combat success can, for example, be defined as an expected value the number of kills or as the survival probability of the protected object or as a weighted average of both. In contrast to the prior art mentioned first, this does not preclude the same target from being fought by more than one fire unit at the same time.
  • Each director 24 independently of the other directors, calculates the air situation and combat plan based on the information available. This also includes information about the position and usability of all fire units 20, 21, 22, 23 . Normally, all information will be available to all directors 24 so that all directors 24 can calculate and execute the same battle plan. This democratic coordination is efficient and only becomes weakly sub-optional if some information is not available to all directors 24 due to the failure of individual data connections.
