Abstract

The invention relates to a missile (4) comprising one or more hollow charges, a rocket motor (5) with horizontal stabilizer (6) and a warhead (7) for combatting vehicles with active self-protection. The invention provides for a self-propelled, removable device (9) to be arranged on the missile tip, which becomes detached from the missile (4) at a suitable distance from the target, flies ahead of the missile (4) and triggers the active self-protection such that said self-protection does not endanger the succeeding missile (4).

Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Flugkörper nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a missile according to the preamble of claim 1.

Flugkörper mit einer oder mehreren Hohlladungen, z. B. in Form eines Tandemgefechtskopfes, zur Bekämpfung gepanzerter Fahrzeuge sind Stand der Technik und in unterschiedlichsten Ausführungsformen beschrieben. Nachteil dieser bekannten Ausführungsformen ist, daß sie von sogenannten aktiven Selbstschutzsystemen der gepanzerten Fahrzeuge in ihrer Wirkung abgeschwächt oder sogar wirkungslos gemacht werden können. Solche aktiven Seibstschutzsysteme sind z. B. beschrieben in

  • armada international 3/1998 "Panzerstahl ist nicht alles", S. 34 - 46
  • europäische Sicherheit 2/98 "Schutztechnologien für Kampf- und Kampfunterstützungsfahrzeuge", Seiten 26 - 31
  • DE 195 05 629 A1
Missile with one or more shaped charges, z. As in the form of a tandem warhead, to combat armored vehicles are prior art and described in various embodiments. Disadvantage of these known embodiments is that they can be weakened by so-called active self-protection systems of armored vehicles in their effect or even rendered ineffective. Such active Seibstschutzsysteme are z. B. described in
  • armada international 3/1998 "Panzerstahl is not everything", pp. 34 - 46
  • European Safety 2/98 "Protection Technologies for Combat and Battle Support Vehicles", pages 26 - 31
  • DE 195 05 629 A1

Grundprinzip der aktiven Selbstschutzsysteme ist eine Sensoranordnung an den gepanzerten Fahrzeugen, die den anfliegenden Flugkörper erfaßt und eine Platten oder Splitter verschießende Abwehrmunition, die von der Sensoranordnung ausgelöst wird und den anfliegenden Flugkörper beschädigt, zerstört oder aus der Flugbahn auslenkt.The basic principle of the active self-protection systems is a sensor arrangement on the armored vehicles, which detects the approaching missile and a plate or splitter firing defensive munitions, which is triggered by the sensor assembly and the approaching missile damaged, destroyed or deflected from the trajectory.

Ein wirksames Gegenmittel besteht darin, zwei Flugkörper kurz hintereinander auf dasselbe Ziel zu schießen. Der erste Flugkörper würde dabei das aktive Selbstschutzsystem auslösen, während der zweite Flugkörper dann auf das ungeschützte Ziel treffen würde. Ein solches Gerät ist aber von einem einzelnen Soldaten, der die Waffe z. B. von der Schulter verschießen soll, nicht einsetzbar.An effective antidote is to shoot two missiles in quick succession at the same target. The first missile would thereby trigger the active self-protection system, while the second missile would hit the unprotected target. However, such a device is of a single soldier, the weapon z. B. shoot from the shoulder, not applicable.

Vielmehr sind spezielle, schwerfällig zu handhabende Abschußgestelle erforderlich.Rather, special, cumbersome to be handled launch racks are required.

Erfindungsgemäß wird deshalb der Flugkörper zur Bekämpfung von Fahrzeugen mit aktivem Selbstschutz nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 mit einer an der Flugkörperspitze lösbar angebrachten, mit Eigenantrieb versehenen Vorrichtung ausgestattet, die sich in geeignetem Abstand vor dem Ziel vom Flugkörper trennt und in so weitem Abstand davon vorne herfliegt, daß das aktive Selbstschutzsystem durch die Vorrichtung ausgelöst wird, ohne den nachfolgenden Flugkörper zu gefährden.According to the invention therefore the missile for fighting vehicles with active self-protection according to the preamble of claim 1 is provided with a detachable attached to the missile tip, self-propelled device that separates at a suitable distance from the target of the missile and at such a distance from the front flies that the active self-protection system is triggered by the device without jeopardizing the subsequent missile.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung kann aufgrund ihrer Einfachheit und ihres geringen Gewichtes selbst von leichten Flugkörpern, z. B. Panzerabwehrhandwaffen, mitgeführt werden. Vorteilhafterweise wird die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung über die in der Regel an der Spitze von Panzerabwehrflugkörpern befindliche rohrförmigen Verlängerung ganz oder teilweise geschoben, so daß sich die Länge des Flugkörpers nur unwesentlich erhöht. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann weiterhin mit Einrichtungen zur Vergrößerung des Radarrückstrahlquerschnittes, z. B. mit einem Reflektor oder Transponder, versehen werden, um die Erkennbarkeit durch die Sensoranordnung des aktiven Selbstschutzsystems zu erhöhen.Such a device, due to its simplicity and low weight even of light missiles, z. B. antitank handguns, be carried. Advantageously, the device according to the invention is wholly or partially pushed over the usually located at the top of antitank missiles tubular extension, so that the length of the missile increases only slightly. The device according to the invention may further comprise means for increasing the Radarrückstrahlquerschnittes, z. B. with a reflector or transponder, be provided to increase the visibility by the sensor arrangement of the active self-protection system.

Der Abstand des Flugkörpers zum Ziel, bei dem sich die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung mittels Eigenantrieb vom Flugkörper trennt, wird beispielsweise durch einen Abstandssensor an der Vorrichtung oder am Flugkörper ermittelt. Es kann sich dabei z. B. um einen Laserentfernungsmesser, einen Radarabstandsmesser oder einen optoelektronischen Abstandssensor handeln.The distance of the missile to the target, in which the device according to the invention separates from the missile by means of self-propulsion, is determined, for example, by a distance sensor on the device or on the missile. It may be z. B. be a laser range finder, a radar distance meter or an optoelectronic distance sensor.

Wird jedoch der Flugkörper von einer Startvorrichtung verschossen, die selbst einen Laserentfernungsmesser besitzt, so wird in vorteilhafter Weise die Entfernungsinformation beim Start in den Flugkörper eingegeben, so daß dieser nach entsprechender Flugzeit die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung startet. Im Gegensatz zu eigenen Abstandssensoren benötigt der Flugkörper dann nur noch einen Zeitgeber.However, if the missile is fired from a launching device, which itself has a laser rangefinder, so the distance information is entered at start into the missile so that it starts the device according to the invention after a corresponding flight time. In contrast to their own distance sensors, the missile then only needs a timer.

Die Erfindung wird anhand eines Beispiels in Figur 1 näher erläutert:The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an example in FIG.

Die Figur 1 zeigt in vier Phasen - 1A bis 1D - den Einsatz des erfindungsgemäßen Flugkörpers.Figure 1 shows in four phases - 1A to 1D - the use of the missile according to the invention.

Das Ziel in Form eines Panzers 1 ist mit einer flugkörpererkennenden Sensoranordnung 2 und splitterbildender Abwehrmunition 3, 3', 3" ausgestattet. Der Flugkörper 4 besteht aus einem Raketenmotor 5 mit Leitwerk 6 und einem Gefechtskopf 7. Am vorderen Ende 8 des Gefechtskopfes 7 ist eine mit Eigenantrieb versehene Vorrichtung 9 angeordnet.The target in the form of a tank 1 is equipped with a missile-detecting sensor arrangement 2 and fragment-forming defense ammunition 3, 3 ', 3 "The missile 4 consists of a rocket motor 5 with tail 6 and a warhead 7. At the front end 8 of the warhead 7 is a Self-propelled device 9 is arranged.

Wie in Fig. 1B dargestellt, wird die Vorrichtung 9, durch einen Raketenmotor 10 angetrieben, vom Flugkörper 4 in Richtung Panzer 1 wegbewegt. Am Flugkörper 4 ist jetzt eine rohrförmige Verlängerung 11 erkennbar, auf die vorher die Vorrichtung 9 aufgesteckt war.As shown in FIG. 1B, the device 9, driven by a rocket motor 10, is moved away from the missile 4 in the direction of the tank 1. The missile 4 is now a tubular extension 11 can be seen on the previously the device 9 was attached.

In Fig. 1C hat die Vorrichtung 9 dazu geführt, daß die Sensoranordnung 2 am Panzer 1 die Abwehrmunition 3' ausgelöst hat, welche am Ort 12 detoniert. Der Abstand 13 zwischen Vorrichtung 9 und Flugkörper 4 ist dabei so groß, daß der Flugkörper 4 durch die Splitter der detonierenden Abwehrmunition 3' nicht oder nur gering gefährdet wird.In Fig. 1C, the device 9 has led to the sensor assembly 2 on the tank 1, the defense ammunition 3 'has triggered, which detonates at the location 12. The distance 13 between the device 9 and the missile 4 is so great that the missile 4 is not or only slightly endangered by the splinters of the detonating defense ammunition 3 '.

In Fig. 1D ist gezeigt, wie der Gefechtskopf 7 des Flugkörpers 4 am Panzer 1 auftrifft, ohne vorher von der Abwehrmunition 3' (siehe Fig. 1 C) zerstört worden zu sein.FIG. 1D shows how the warhead 7 of the missile 4 impinges on the tank 1 without being previously destroyed by the defensive munition 3 '(see FIG. 1C).

Fig. 2 zeigt die Vorrichtung 9 aus Fig. 1 im Schnitt.Fig. 2 shows the device 9 of Fig. 1 in section.

Sie besteht aus einem Rohr 14, das auf die rohrförmige Verlängerung 11 des Flugkörpers 4 aufsteckbar ist (siehe Fig. 1 C).It consists of a tube 14 which is attachable to the tubular extension 11 of the missile 4 (see Fig. 1 C).

Im vorderen Teil 15 mit Düsen 16, 16' befindet sich ein Raketentreibsatz 17, der durch einen Anzünder 18 angezündet werden kann. Zwischen vorderem Teil 15 und Rohr 14 ist ein Zeitgeber 19 angeordnet, der mit dem Anzünder 18 durch ein Kabel 20 verbunden ist. Der Zeitgeber 19 wird vor dem Start des Flugkörpers 4 über den Anschluß 21 durch eine entsprechende Elektronik am Abschußgestell eingestellt. Der Anschluß 21 kann beispielsweise eine selbstlösende Steckverbindung oder ein induktiver Empfänger sein.In the front part 15 with nozzles 16, 16 'is a rocket propellant 17, which can be ignited by a lighter 18. Between front part 15 and pipe 14 a timer 19 is arranged, which is connected to the lighter 18 by a cable 20. The timer 19 is set before the start of the missile 4 via the terminal 21 by a corresponding electronics on the firing rack. The terminal 21 may be, for example, a self-releasing connector or an inductive receiver.
