Abstract
Description
Le domaine technique de l'invention est celui des dispositifs permettant la neutralisation d'une charge utile transportée par un vecteur.The technical field of the invention is that of devices for neutralizing a payload transported by a vector.
Les charges utiles ainsi emportées peuvent être dangereuses ou toxiques. Il est donc nécessaire en cas d'incident de vol du vecteur de procéder à leur destruction.The payloads thus carried can be dangerous or toxic. It is therefore necessary in case vector theft incident to destroy them.
Ainsi, les satellites qui sont emportés par des fusées balistiques comportent généralement des propulseurs liquides extrêmement toxiques et explosifs (hydrazine, peroxyde d'azote). Il est indispensable de détruire ces propulseurs en cas d'incident afin d'éviter une retombée au sol d'une grande quantité de ces matériaux.So the satellites that are carried by rockets ballistics generally include liquid propellants extremely toxic and explosive (hydrazine, peroxide nitrogen). It is essential to destroy these thrusters by incident in order to avoid a fall to the ground of a large quantity of these materials.
Concrètement on détruit l'enveloppe des propulseurs de façon à libérer les ergols. Ces derniers se détruisent en réagissant mutuellement au contact l'un avec l'autre ainsi qu'au contact de l'atmosphère.Concretely, the envelope of the thrusters is destroyed. so as to release the propellants. These destroy themselves in interacting with each other as well than in contact with the atmosphere.
Il est connu de mettre en oeuvre à l'intérieur des fusées des canons à poudre tirant un ou plusieurs projectiles perforants en direction des propulseurs.It is known to operate inside rockets powder cannons firing one or more projectiles perforating towards the propellants.
Une telle solution est coûteuse, encombrante et lourde.Such a solution is expensive, cumbersome and cumbersome.
Elle impose la réalisation de projectiles explosifs dotés de systèmes de sécurité et d'un déclenchement à retard.It requires the production of explosive projectiles with security systems and delay release.
L'arme est par ailleurs une mécanique complexe susceptible de défaillance lors du lancement de la fusée.The weapon is also a complex mechanism likely to fail when launching the rocket.
La fiabilité de tels systèmes est donc réduite.The reliability of such systems is therefore reduced.
Il a été proposé de mettre en oeuvre des charges creuses
ou des charges explosives pour assurer la destruction des
propulseurs, voir à ce dernier sujet le document US-A-550 7231 qui
couvre le préambule de la revendication 1.It has been proposed to use shaped charges
or explosive charges to ensure the destruction of
propellants, see on this last subject document US-A-550 7231 which
covers the preamble of
Cependant ces charges doivent être positionnées proches, voire au contact des propulseurs à détruire.However these loads must be positioned close, or even in contact with the propellants to be destroyed.
Il se pose donc alors des problèmes d'intégration dans le vecteur. Par ailleurs les jets de charge creuse ont une efficacité réduite contre les propulseurs à ergols liquides. Le jet est consommé rapidement par le liquide et le diamètre des trous de vidange réalisés est faible (de l'ordre du mm). There are therefore problems of integration in the vector. Furthermore, the hollow charge jets have a reduced effectiveness against propellants with liquid propellants. The jet is consumed quickly by the liquid and the diameter drain holes made is low (of the order of mm).
Enfin, la géométrie de la charge utile (satellite) peut différer fortement d'un tir de vecteur à un autre.Finally, the geometry of the payload (satellite) can differ greatly from one vector shot to another.
Les propulseurs ne sont plus alors placés aux mêmes endroits et le vecteur doit être modifié en profondeur pour permettre la mise en place d'un nouveau système de neutralisation.The thrusters are no longer placed at the same locations and the vector needs to be changed in depth to allow the establishment of a new neutralization.
C'est le but de l'invention que de proposer un dispositif de neutralisation ne présentant pas de tels inconvénients.It is the object of the invention to propose a device neutralization not having such drawbacks.
Ainsi le dispositif de neutralisation selon l'invention permet d'assurer d'une façon simple et fiable la destruction d'une charge utile emportée par un vecteur.Thus the neutralization device according to the invention ensures destruction in a simple and reliable way of a payload carried by a vector.
Ce dispositif est facilement adaptable à différents types de charges utiles, il permet donc de simplifier l'adaptation du vecteur à la charge à emporter.This device is easily adaptable to different types payloads, it therefore simplifies adaptation of the vector to the load to be carried.
Ainsi l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de neutralisation d'une charge utile transportée par un vecteur, tel une fusée, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte au moins une charge explosive génératrice de noyau, charge rendue solidaire du vecteur par des moyens de positionnement assurant une orientation de sa direction d'action vers la charge utile.Thus the subject of the invention is a device for neutralization of a payload transported by a vector, like a rocket, characterized in that it comprises at least one explosive charge generating nucleus, returned charge integral with the vector by positioning means ensuring an orientation of its direction of action towards the payload.
Avantageusement, les moyens de positionnement pourront être réglables de façon à permettre une adaptation du dispositif de neutralisation à différentes structures et/ou localisations de la charge utile.Advantageously, the positioning means may be adjustable to allow adaptation of the neutralization device at different structures and / or payload locations.
Les moyens de positionnement pourront également être fixes.The positioning means may also be fixed.
Le dispositif pourra comporter au moins deux charges explosives génératrices de noyau.The device may include at least two charges explosive nucleus generators.
La ou les charges génératrices de noyau auront de préférence un calibre supérieur à 50 mm.The core-generating charge (s) will have preferably a caliber greater than 50 mm.
Le dispositif de neutralisation selon l'invention s'applique plus particulièrement à la destruction du ou des propulseurs d'un satellite embarqué par une fusée.The neutralization device according to the invention applies more particularly to the destruction of the thrusters of a satellite embarked by a rocket.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre d'un mode particulier de réalisation, description faite en référence aux dessins annexés et dans lesquels :
- la figure 1 représente schématiquement une vue partielle d'une fusée emportant un satellite et équipée d'un dispositif de neutralisation selon l'invention,
- la figure 2 est une vue de la même fusée emportant un satellite d'architecture interne différente.
- FIG. 1 schematically represents a partial view of a rocket carrying a satellite and equipped with a neutralization device according to the invention,
- Figure 2 is a view of the same rocket carrying a satellite of different internal architecture.
En se reportant à la figure 1, un vecteur 1 tel une fusée
balistique (dont seule la tête est représentée) comporte un
logement 2 à l'intérieur de son ogive 3, logement recevant
une charge utile 4 constituée par un satellite.Referring to Figure 1, a
Le satellite 4 est lié à l'ogive du vecteur par des
brides 5a, 5b. D'une façon connue, il est destiné à être
libéré sur trajectoire par la fusée à une altitude donnée
assurant sa mise en orbite terrestre.
Les moyens assurant l'ouverture de l'ogive et la libération du satellite ne sont pas représentés ici et ils ne font pas partie de la présente invention.The means ensuring the opening of the warhead and the satellite release is not shown here and they don't are not part of the present invention.
Le satellite 4 renferme un ou plusieurs réservoirs
d'ergols liquides. Le satellite représenté à la figure 1
comporte deux réservoirs 6a et 6b superposés et disposés
sensiblement au niveau de l'axe 7 de la fusée.
Les réservoirs 6a, 6b sont reliés à une tuyère 8.The
Conformément à l'invention des moyens sont prévus
permettant de neutraliser les ergols contenus dans les
réservoirs 6a, 6b en rompant leurs réservoirs permettant
ainsi leur libération.In accordance with the invention, means are provided
to neutralize the propellants contained in the
Ces moyens sont déclenchés automatiquement en cas d'incident au niveau de la fusée et par exemple en même temps que les moyens classique assurant l'autodestruction de la fusée elle même.These means are triggered automatically in the event incident at the rocket and for example at the same time that the conventional means ensuring the self-destruction of rocket itself.
Les moyens de neutralisation comportent deux charges
explosives 9a, 9b génératrices de noyau. Chaque charge 9 est
rendue solidaire de la fusée 1 par des moyens de
positionnement 10a, 10b qui permettent d'assurer une
orientation de la direction d'action 11a, 11b vers la charge
utile 4.The neutralization means have two
Une charge génératrice de noyau est bien connue de
l'Homme du Métier. On pourra par exemple consulter les
brevets FR2627580, FR2740212 et FR2741142 qui décrivent une
telle charge. Elle comprend un chargement explosif 13 disposé
dans une enveloppe 14 et sur lequel est appliqué un
revêtement 12 métallique en forme de calotte.A nucleus-generating charge is well known to
the Man of the Trade. We can for example consult the
patents FR2627580, FR2740212 and FR2741142 which describe a
such charge. It includes an
Le chargement explosif 13 est initié par un moyen
détonateur 15 qui est relié à un moyen de commande 16.The
Les moyens de positionnement 10a, 10b qui sont décrits
ici sont conçus de façon à donner un ou deux degrés de
liberté à l'enveloppe 14 de la charge qu'ils supportent.The positioning means 10a, 10b which are described
here are designed to give one or two degrees of
freedom to the
Il est possible alors de donner à la direction d'action
11 de la charge considérée (qui est confondue avec l'axe de
l'enveloppe 14 de la charge) une orientation quelconque par
rapport à l'axe 7 de la fusée.It is then possible to give the direction of action
11 of the load considered (which is confused with the axis of
the
On pourra à titre d'exemple réaliser des moyens de
positionnement comprenant un étrier 17 définissant une
direction 18a,18b parallèle à l'axe 7 de la fusée. Cet étrier
sera monté pivotant par rapport à une embase 20 fixée à la
fusée. Le pivotement s'effectuera ainsi autour de la
direction 18a ou 18b (flèche Z).By way of example, it is possible to make means of
positioning comprising a
La charge 9 sera fixée à l'intérieur de l'étrier 17 par
l'intermédiaire d'un socle 19 et elle pourra donc elle même
être basculée par rapport à l'étrier 17.The load 9 will be fixed inside the
Ainsi ces moyens de positionnement permettent de donner à
chaque charge 9 une orientation optimale qui sera adaptée en
fonction de la nature et de la structure de la charge utile
4. Concrètement on inclinera chaque charge d'une façon telle
que sa direction d'action 11 rencontre un des réservoirs 6 du
satellite 4.Thus these positioning means make it possible to give
each load 9 an optimal orientation which will be adapted in
depending on the nature and structure of the
A titre de variante l'étrier 17 pourra être fixe par
rapport à l'embase 20, le seul degré de liberté de la charge
sera alors son basculement par rapport à l'étrier 17.As a variant, the
La charge 9a a ainsi une direction d'action 11a qui est
inclinée d'un angle α par rapport à la direction 18a
parallèle à l'axe de la fusée 1. Cette direction d'action 11a
rencontre le réservoir supérieur 6b.The
La charge 9b a une direction d'action 11b qui est
inclinée d'un angle β par rapport à la direction 18b
parallèle à l'axe de la fusée 1. Cette direction d'action 11b
rencontre le réservoir inférieur 6a. The
Les charges 9a et 9b sont reliées au moyen de commande 16
qui est destiné à provoquer leur initiation à un instant
donné. Ce moyen de commande pourra avantageusement être
constitué par une partie de l'électronique de commande /
guidage de la fusée.The
L'initiation de la ou des charges 9 sera provoquée sur trajectoire à un instant donné. Cette initiation pourra avantageusement être télécommandée à partir du sol en cas de détection d'un événement grave (rupture de la fusée, perte de trajectoire).The initiation of charge (s) 9 will be caused on trajectory at a given time. This initiation may advantageously be remotely controlled from the ground in case of detection of a serious event (rupture of the rocket, loss of path).
L'initiation pourra également être déclenchée automatiquement par l'électronique de la fusée en cas de perte de la liaison sol (perte du guidage et/ou du contrôle).The initiation may also be triggered automatically by the rocket electronics in case of loss of ground connection (loss of guidance and / or control).
Les charges 9a, 9b ont un diamètre de l'ordre de 50 à
150mm (par exemple 80mm). Leur revêtement pourra être en fer
ou en nickel. Elles engendrent comme suite à leur initiation
un noyau de métal homocinétique d'environ 100 g et qui est
animé d'une vitesse d'environ 2000 m/s.The
Un tel noyau est stable jusqu'à des distances de l'ordre de 25 m, soit des distances largement supérieures à la distance maximale séparant une charge d'un des réservoirs d'ergol.Such a nucleus is stable up to distances of the order 25 m, i.e. distances far greater than the maximum distance separating a load from one of the tanks propellant.
Les capacités perforantes de ces noyaux ne sont pratiquement pas perturbées par les tôles métallique ou composites ou les protections entourant le satellite.The perforating capacities of these cores are only practically undisturbed by metal sheets or composites or protections surrounding the satellite.
Les réservoirs 6 se trouvent donc perforés par les noyaux ainsi engendrés. Il en résulte une surpression dynamique qui fait exploser les réservoirs.The tanks 6 are therefore perforated by the cores thus generated. This results in a dynamic overpressure which blew up the tanks.
On voit que le dispositif selon l'invention peut être disposé dans la fusée à un endroit relativement éloigné de la charge utile. La vitesse et la stabilité des noyaux permet d'assurer de façon fiable la destruction de la charge utile malgré la distance.It can be seen that the device according to the invention can be placed in the rocket at a location relatively distant from the payload. The speed and stability of the cores allows reliably destroy the payload despite the distance.
Il n'est par ailleurs pas nécessaire de modifier la structure de la charge utile, les noyaux étant suffisamment stables et énergétiques pour assurer la neutralisation des réservoirs au travers des parois du satellite. There is also no need to change the payload structure, the cores being sufficiently stable and energetic to ensure neutralization of tanks through the walls of the satellite.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet donc, avec une structure simple, compacte et facile à intégrer dans la fusée, d'assurer la destruction sûre de la charge utile et notamment des ergols liquides renfermés dans les réservoirs 6. La fiabilité du dispositif est supérieure à celle des dispositifs existants et à moindre coût.The device according to the invention therefore allows, with a simple structure, compact and easy to integrate into the rocket, to ensure the safe destruction of the payload and especially liquid propellants contained in the tanks 6. The reliability of the device is higher than that of existing devices and at lower cost.
La figure 2 montre une fusée 1 identique à celle
précédemment décrite mais emportant un satellite 4 qui a une
structure différente.Figure 2 shows a
Ce satellite comporte deux réservoirs 6a, 6b d'ergols qui
sont disposés parallèlement l'un à l'autre et de part et
d'autre de l'axe 7.This satellite comprises two
Les moyens de positionnement 10a et 10b permettent de
modifier les orientations des directions d'action 11a et 11b
des charges de façon à ce que chaque direction d'action
rencontre un réservoir 6a ou 6b.The positioning means 10a and 10b make it possible to
modify the orientations of
Ici, du fait de la position symétrique des réservoirs 6a
et 6b par rapport à l'axe 7, les directions d'action 11a et
11b sont inclinées du même angle γ par rapport aux directions
18a/18b définies par les étriers 17 et parallèles à l'axe 7
de la fusée 1.Here, due to the symmetrical position of the
On voit donc que grâce à l'invention il est facile d'adapter le dispositif de neutralisation à une structure de charge utile donnée.So we see that thanks to the invention it is easy to adapt the neutralization device to a structure of given payload.
Le réglage des charges sera effectué lors de l'intégration de la charge utile.Load adjustment will be carried out during payload integration.
A titre de variante on pourra bien entendu prévoir un nombre de charges différent.As a variant, it is of course possible to provide a different number of charges.
On pourra également prévoir des moyens de positionnement fixes non réglables assurant une orientation donnée pour la direction d'action de chaque charge.We can also provide positioning means fixed non-adjustable ensuring a given orientation for direction of action of each charge.
