Definitions
- the subject of the present invention is a method of guiding a gear towards a target, in particular to improve the accuracy of the shooting of a Ammunition previously calculated to reach the target.
- the position of the target target is provided before firing to a fire calculator determining values of fire parameters like the angles of the shot and the initial speed to be transmitted to the ammunition when firing. After the shot and in the absence of guidance, the ammunition follows a trajectory ballistic.
- the impact accuracy of the ammunition is better when the gap between the actual point of impact and the planned point of impact is reduced and the guns or current mortars equipped with their fire calculator ensure accuracy relatively good impact.
- a mortar with a shell and draws from the front presents a curved shot with a range of less than 15 kilometers and a precision of a hundred meters.
- a gun is loaded to the back and makes a more horizontal shot with a range of up to 40 kilometers.
- the more important and frequent imbrication of the forces adversaries and the presence of civilian populations impose the need for the artillery to be able to operate further destruction and neutralization more precise by firing a munition and guiding it on its flight to a well defined target.
- the guiding of a munition is carried out in a known manner by placing implementation of a guide law on all or part of the flight of the ammunition.
- the law The guide system determines instructions to be applied to an actuator of the munition, for example an impeller or a group of control surfaces, for modify the trajectory of the ammunition during its flight in order to bring it closer of the target.
- Proportional navigation is a known guide law of a ammunition which consists in controlling a proportional charge factor to the rotation speed of the line connecting the ammunition to the target. This speed being for example measured using homing devices carried by the ammunition or calculated from parameters provided for example by a central inertial embedded in the ammunition. Load factor control peculiar to proportional navigation leads to a rotational speed from the line connecting the ammunition to the target tending toward zero. Navigation Proportional tends to collide the guided munition with the target. This guidance makes it possible to null the distance of passage which is the distance between the point of real impact and the target.
- Proportional navigation guidance is easy to implement it has the disadvantage of imposing a rectilinear trajectory on the ammunition that is not optimal with respect to the curved ballistic trajectory that follows a munition without guidance.
- the problem is to develop a guidance of the ammunition ensuring like proportional navigation a passing distance theoretically zero but with a lower load factor. It's about to find guidance with impact accuracy as good as the one obtained with proportional navigation guidance while presenting a lower energy cost.
- the invention responds to this problem by a guiding method of a machine, in particular a munition, towards a target, the method applying to the machine a proportional acceleration proportional to the vector product of the speed of the machine by the difference of the vectors rotation of the connecting line the craft and the target and the right connecting the craft to the point of ballistic impact predicts said craft.
- the guidance according to the process starts for example after the climax the trajectory of the ammunition fired.
- the process is iterative in closed loop for example until the impact of the ammunition, or to a position of the ammunition providing significantly better impact accuracy than obtained with unguided ballistic fire.
- the method generates guiding orders carrying out a navigation proportional change around the ballistic trajectory of the munition.
- the guide law of the method according to the invention allows the munition thus guided to move towards the target by deviating slightly from its ballistic trajectory.
- the implementation of the method according to the invention has the advantage of requiring a low load factor.
- FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a conventional servocontrol of an acceleration instruction applied to a munition.
- a guidance calculator 1 generates from the information represented by the inputs X1 to Xn a guiding order for controlling the transverse acceleration vector of the munition 8 in the form of a vector value.
- ⁇ c acceleration setpoint This instruction ⁇ it is compared in a comparator 2 to vector transverse acceleration ⁇ measured m of the ammunition 8 using an instrument case 3 comprising gyrometers and accelerometers.
- the gap 4 between the commanded acceleration ⁇ c and measured acceleration ⁇ m is introduced into a compensating calculator 5, which generates, starting from particular current rotation angles of the ammunition and the gap 4, a position command ⁇ of a rudder of the munition whose purpose is to reduce the gap between the measurement and the instruction.
- the position command ⁇ is executed for example by means of a signal amplifier 6 followed by a steering motor 7.
- the reactions of the ammunition 8 to the position command ⁇ are measured using the instrument box 3 and again compared to the setpoint ⁇ c acceleration so as to achieve a closed loop servo to the set value provided by the guidance computer.
- FIG. 2 schematically shows a servo a position instruction applied to a munition containing a embedded inertial unit.
- a position command 30 to be reached by a munition 23 is supplied as input to a guidance calculator 21 which also receives as input measures 25 from an inertial unit 22 on the munition 23.
- the guidance computer 21 implement a guiding algorithm elaborating from the inputs of the calculator a load factor value 24 to be applied to the cell aerodynamic represented by the ammunition 23 to change the trajectory so that it satisfies said position instruction provided at the input of the guidance computer 21.
- the load factor is a acceleration developed laterally to change the ammunition of path.
- the guidance algorithm makes it possible to control an acceleration respecting a guide law.
- the onboard inertial unit 22 is example, a hybridized GPS inertial unit, whose abbreviation stands for Global Positionning System in English, with accelerometers and gyrometers, and to calculate the coordinates of the position, the components of the speed and attitudes of the ammunition.
- the power plant embedded inertial 22 makes 25 measurements of the flight situation of the munition which feed the guidance computer 21 into a loop of guidance which is a closed loop servo.
- the load factor value 24 is applied to the ammunition 23 by means of a control computer 26 receiving as input the value of load factor 24 on the one hand and measures 27 on the actual movement of the ammunition subjected to the load factor 24 that come from the central inertial 22 boarded on the other hand.
- the piloting computer 26 elaborates a steering value 28 which is applied to the actuators 29 which influence on the flight path and orientation of the ammunition.
- a control loop is closed between the control computer 26 and the ammunition 23 by the introduction in the control computer 26 of new measures 27 of the flight situation of the ammunition, for example acceleration variations and rotation captured by the accelerometers and gyrometers of the plant inertial 22 boarded. The control loop ensures the enslavement of the ammunition 23 at the load factor value 24 recorded.
- the activation of the guidance and steering loops assures the guiding the ammunition. Guiding can be carried out on all or part of the ammunition race.
- Figure 3 shows two trajectories of a munition.
- a munition M is drawn for example from a point O with a conventional preliminary fire calculation determining the firing angles and the initial speed to apply to the munition based assumptions about values such as the mass of the munition, aerodynamic characteristics of the munition and a known wind condition or predicts.
- the ammunition After firing, the ammunition describes a real trajectory 31 and reaches at a certain date t a point M, for example located after the apogee 32 of the path.
- Various deviations from the assumptions taken into account during of the shot lead the ammunition to travel a real trajectory 31 different from the ballistic trajectory 30 provided during the firing.
- the ammunition is not guided, it is subjected to a ballistic acceleration ⁇ TP due mainly to the forces of gravity and drag corresponding to the aerodynamic slowdown, and from the point M it follows a ballistic trajectory whose estimate at time t is a first ballistic trajectory that does not reach the target B but presents a ballistic impact point 1 whose position in space is distinct from that of the target.
