Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Schutz von Objekten gegen als Lenk-Flugkörper ausgebildete Munitionen mit den Merkmalen aus dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for protecting objects against munitions formed as steering missiles with the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.

Als Objekte kommen dabei sowohl Fahrzeuge, insbesondere Kampffahrzeuge, als auch stationäre Einrichtungen wie kleinere Gebäude, transportable Shelter und dergleichen in Betracht. Es ist bekannt, abstandswirksame Schutzsysteme durch unabhängige Integration von Warn-Sensoren und Wirkmitteln auf dem zu schützenden Objekt zu realisieren. Dies führt insbesondere bei Fahrzeugen zu relativ aufwändigen Nachrüstlösungen, da bei der Integration der Einzelkomponenten jeweils umfangreiche Justierarbeiten und sehr präzise mechanische Bearbeitungen auf der Fahrzeugoberfläche durchgeführt werden müssen.Suitable objects include both vehicles, in particular combat vehicles, as well as stationary facilities such as smaller buildings, portable shelters and the like. It is known to realize distance-effective protection systems by independent integration of warning sensors and active agents on the object to be protected. This leads in particular to vehicles to relatively complex retrofit solutions, since in the integration of the individual components each extensive adjustment and very precise mechanical processing must be performed on the vehicle surface.

Eine Einrichtung mit den Merkmalen aus dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 ist in dem Dokument DE 3410467 A1 beschrieben.A device with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is in the document DE 3410467 A1 described.

Es handelt sich dort um eine mehrrohrige Waffenanlage, die auf dem Turm eines Kampfpanzers montiert oder montierbar ist. Sie umfasst auf einem Kreisumfang gleichmäßig verteilt angeordnete Rohre, die in unterschiedlicher Elevation starr auf einer von der Drehbewegung des Turms unabhängig drehbaren Waffenplattform angeordnet sind. Aus den Rohren können zielsuchende Flugkörper abgefeuert werden. Die Rohre sind im Bereich unterhalb eines auf der Waffenplattform montierten Radargerätes angeordnet.It is a multi-tube weapon system that can be mounted or mounted on the turret of a main battle tank. It comprises on a circumference evenly distributed arranged tubes which are arranged in different elevations rigidly mounted on a rotating independently of the rotation of the tower weapon platform. From the pipes, homing missiles can be fired. The tubes are located in the area below a mounted on the weapon platform radar device.

In dem Dokument FR 2611259 A1 ist eine Werfereinheit zum Schutz von beweglichen oder stationären Objekten, insbesondere Panzern, beschrieben mit mehreren Modulen, deren jeder aus einem Grundkörper und mehreren daran befestigten, Schießbecher aufnehmenden Abschussrohren besteht. Die Module sind in Azimut richtbar.In the document FR 2611259 A1 is a Werfereinheit for the protection of movable or stationary objects, in particular tanks, described with several modules, each of which consists of a base body and a plurality attached thereto, shooting cup receiving launcher tubes. The modules can be directed in azimuth.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Einrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art so auszugestalten, dass eine autarke Selbstschutz-Plattform entsteht, die auf den Objekten adaptiert werden kann und zum Rundumschutz gegen als Lenk-Flugkörper ausgebildete Munitionen dient.The invention has the object of providing a device of the type mentioned in such a way that an autarkic self-protection platform is created, which can be adapted to the objects and for all-round protection against trained as a steering missiles ammunition.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen aus dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben.The solution of this object is achieved according to the invention with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

Ein Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, sowohl die Sensorik als auch die Wirkmittel funktionsoptimiert auf einer als schmal aufragende Einheit ausgebildeten kompakten Geräteträger anzuordnen. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass bei der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung der Adaptionsaufwand gering ist und somit eine hohe Flexibilität in bezug auf missionsabhängigen Einsatz entsteht.A basic idea of the invention consists in arranging both the sensor system and the active means in a functionally optimized manner on a compact device carrier configured as a narrow towering unit. It has been found that in the device according to the invention the adaptation effort is low and thus a high flexibility with respect to mission-dependent use arises.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung ist es möglich, die Achsen von Sensoren und Wirkmitteln, insbesondere der Abschusseinrichtungen für Wirkmittel, unter Berücksichtigung von Parallaxenkorrektur, Aufsatzwinkel etc. von Anfang an so zu harmonisieren, dass eine aufwändige Justierung nach dem Anbau der Einrichtung an das Objekt entfällt. Die Einrichtung kann so ausgebildet und angeordnet werden, dass eine Aufklärung der Bedrohung und deren Bekämpfung unabhängig vom Einbauort über einen azimutalen Winkel bis 360° ermöglicht wird. Die Einrichtung ist so flexibel gestaltet, dass sie sowohl auf Kampffahrzeugen als auch auf stationären Einrichtungen eingesetzt werden kann. Die Schnittstelle zu den vorgesehenen Trägersystemen kann einheitlich ausgeführt werden, so dass die "autarke Selbstschutz-Plattform" nicht zielsystemspezifisch ausgeführt werden muss. Dennoch ist die Ausstattung mit Sensoren und Wirkmitteln frei konfigurierbar. Die Einrichtung ist so konzipiert, dass sie unter Panzerschutz fernbedient werden kann.In the device according to the invention, it is possible to harmonize the axes of sensors and active agents, in particular the Abschusseinrichtungen for active agents, taking into account parallax correction, attachment angle, etc. from the beginning so that a complex adjustment after the attachment of the device to the object omitted. The device can be designed and arranged so that a clarification of the threat and its control is possible regardless of the installation over an azimuthal angle to 360 °. The facility is so flexible that it can be used on combat vehicles as well as on stationary facilities. The interface to the intended carrier systems can be carried out uniformly, so that the "self-sufficient self-defense platform" does not have to be executed target-specific. Nevertheless, the equipment is with Sensors and active agents freely configurable. The device is designed to be remotely operated under armored protection.

Oben auf dem Geräteträger im Bereich oberhalb der Warn-Sensoren kann eine Einheit für elektronische/elektrooptische Wirkmittel angeordnet sein. Durch die Anordnung in verschiedenen horizontalen Ebenen wird erreicht, dass sich Sensoren und Wirkmittel nicht stören. Durch die Abschussvorrichtungen für abschießbare Wirkmittel können anfliegende Lenk-Flugkörper mit pyrotechnischen Mitteln gestört werden. So kann beispielsweise eine multispektrale Nebelwand erzeugt werden. Durch elektronische/elektrooptische Wirkmittel kann beispielsweise ein enggebündelter Lichtstrahl von einer gleichmäßig betriebenen oder modulierten Lichtquelle, beispielsweise einem Laser, ausgesendet werden, durch die das Lenksystem des Lenk-Flugkörpers gestört wird.A unit for electronic / electro-optical active agents can be arranged on top of the equipment carrier in the area above the warning sensors. The arrangement in different horizontal planes ensures that sensors and active agents do not interfere. By firing devices for firing action means approaching steering missiles can be disturbed by pyrotechnic means. For example, a multispectral fog wall can be generated. By electronic / electro-optical means of action, for example, a tightly focused light beam from a uniformly operated or modulated light source, such as a laser, are emitted, through which the steering system of the steering missile is disturbed.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung, ist der Geräteträger über ein Knickgelenk auf einer Grundplatte angeordnet, derart, dass mindestens ein Teil der außenwirksamen Ausstattung der Einrichtung auf und ab geschwenkt werden kann.In the device according to the invention, the device carrier is arranged on a base plate via an articulated joint, such that at least part of the external equipment of the device can be pivoted up and down.

Durch das Aufschwenken erhält man unterschiedliche Höhenniveaus im operationellen Betrieb für Ausblick- und Wirkungsachsen, wodurch eine gegenseitige Beeinflussung der Baugruppen der "autarken Selbstschutz-Plattform" selbst über den gesamten azimutalen Bereich von 360° ausgeschlossen wird.By pivoting, different levels of elevation are obtained in operational mode for outlook and action axes, thereby precluding interference between the assemblies of the "self-sustaining self-defense platform" even over the entire azimuthal range of 360 °.

In der abgeschwenkten Position erhält man eine relativ kompakte, niedrigbauende Einheit. Dies ist besonders wichtig beim Transport von Kampffahrzeugen mit montierter "autarker Selbstschutz-Plattform" zur Sicherstellung der Einhaltung des Lademaßes.In the pivoted position to obtain a relatively compact, low-building unit. This is particularly important in the transport of combat vehicles with mounted "self-sufficient self-defense platform" to ensure compliance with the load gauge.

Im Folgenden wird anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen ein Ausführungsbeispiel für eine Einrichtung nach der Erfindung näher erläutert.In the following an embodiment of a device according to the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In den Fig. 1 bis 4 ist eine Einrichtung zum Schutz von Objekten gegen als Lenkflugkörper ausgebildete Munitionen, im Folgenden "autarke Selbstschutz-Plattform" genannt, dargestellt, die auf der Oberfläche O eines nicht näher dargestellten Objektes, beispielsweise eines Kampffahrzeugs, angeordnet ist. Sie besitzt einen als schmal auf- ragende Einheit ausgebildeten Geräteträger 5, der über ein Knickgelenk 5a mit einer Grundplatte 5c verbunden ist, die fest auf der Oberfläche O angeordnet ist. Mittels einer Antriebsvorrichtung 5b ist der Geräteträger 5 um die Achse B des Knickgelenks 5a aus der in den Fig. 1 bis 3 mit ausgezogenen Linien dargestellten aufgeschwenkten Position um 90° in eine gestrichelt dargestellte abgeschwenkte Position schwenkbar. Auf dem Geräteträger 5 ist ein Gehäuse 6 angeordnet, in das seitlich je nach Ausstattung einer bis vier Warn-Sensoren 1 integriert sind. Auf dem Gehäuse 6 ist mittels eines Richtantriebs 2a in Azimut richtbar eine Einheit 2 elektronischer/elektrooptischer Wirkmittel 2 um die Achse A des Geräteträgers 5 drehbar und in Elevation um den Winkel ± δ schwenkbar angeordnet. Die Warn-Sensoren 1 erfassen einen Ausblickwinkel α. Es entsteht somit auf dem Geräteträger 5 eine kompakte Einheit aus Warn-Sensoren 1 und elektronischen/elektro-optischen Wirkmitteln 2, die in dem Gehäuse 6 zusammengefasst wird.FIGS. 1 to 4 show a device for protecting objects against ammunition designed as guided missiles, hereinafter referred to as "self-sufficient self-defense platform", which is arranged on the surface O of an object (not shown in detail), for example a combat vehicle. It has a device carrier 5 designed as a narrow, protruding unit, which is connected via an articulated joint 5a to a base plate 5c, which is fixedly arranged on the surface O. By means of a drive device 5b, the device carrier 5 about the axis B of the articulated joint 5a from the pivoted position shown in Fig. 1 to 3 in solid lines by 90 ° in a tilted position shown in phantom pivotally. On the equipment rack 5, a housing 6 is arranged, are integrated into the side of one to four warning sensors 1 depending on the equipment. On the housing 6 a unit 2 electronic / electro-optical agent 2 is rotatable about the axis A of the device carrier 5 and arranged in elevation by the angle ± δ pivotally by means of a directional drive 2a in azimuth direction. The warning sensors 1 detect a viewing angle α. Thus arises on the equipment rack 5, a compact unit of warning sensors 1 and electronic / electro-optical active means 2, which is summarized in the housing 6.

Die Anordnung der elektronischen/elektrooptischen Wirkmittel 2 oberhalb der Warn-Sensoren 1 ermöglicht einen uneingeschränkten Richtbereich dieser Wirkmittel 2 in Azimut. Es finden keine Ausblendungen durch andere Komponenten der Selbstschutz-Plattform statt.The arrangement of the electronic / electro-optical agent 2 above the warning sensors 1 allows an unrestricted directional range of these agents 2 in azimuth. There are no fades caused by other components of the self-defense platform.

Auch das Blickfeld α der Warn-Sensoren 1 wird in Azimut und Elevation durch keine anderen Komponenten eingeschränkt.The field of view α of the warning sensors 1 is also limited in azimuth and elevation by no other components.

Der Platz im Bereich unterhalb der Warn-Sensoren 1 wird für den Einbau der Einheiten 3 mit Abschussvorrichtungen 3a für abschießbare Wirkmittel genutzt, die im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als Wurfbecher zum Abschießen von Wurfkörpern ausgebildet sind. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist zu beiden Seiten des Geräteträgers 5 je eine Einheit 3 mit mehreren Abschussvorrichtungen 3a installiert. Die einzelnen Abschussvorrichtungen 3a, also die Wurfbecher, können mittels einer Stelleinrichtung 7 in Elevation gerichtet werden. Die Einheiten 3 sind mittels Antriebsvorrichtungen 3b (z.B. elektrische Sperrbolzenmechanik mit Federn) in Azimut richtbar. Die Richtbarkeit der Abschussvorrichtungen in Azimut und Elevation ist bei dieser Anordnung, d.h. links und rechts neben dem Geräteträger 5, nicht eingeschränkt. Der Richtbereich der Abschussvorrichtungen 3a in Elevation ist in Fig. 4 mit γ bezeichnet. Der Richtbereich der Einheiten 3 in Azimut ist in Fig. 3 mit β bezeichnet.The space in the area below the warning sensors 1 is used for the installation of the units 3 with launchers 3a for firing action means, which are formed in the illustrated embodiment as a throwing cup for firing throwing bodies. In the illustrated embodiment, a unit 3 with a plurality of launchers 3 a is installed on each side of the equipment carrier 5. The individual launcher 3a, so the dome, can be directed by means of an adjusting device 7 in elevation. The units 3 are azimutely directionable by means of drive devices 3b (e.g., electric locking pin mechanism with springs). The trackability of the launcher in azimuth and elevation is in this arrangement, i. left and right next to the equipment carrier 5, not restricted. The directional range of the launcher 3a in elevation is designated in FIG. 4 by γ. The directional range of the units 3 in azimuth is denoted by β in FIG.

Der Geräteträger 5 ist so ausgestaltet, dass sich direkt unterhalb des Gehäuses 6 ein umschlossener, frei verfügbarer Bauraum 4 ergibt. Dieser Bauraum 4 ist durch den Geräteträger gegen äußere Einwirkungen geschützt und kann für die Integration von elektrischen und elektronischen Bauelementen, also für die Elektronik, Energieverteiler, Lagesensor, Kabel usw. genutzt werden.The device carrier 5 is designed so that directly below the housing 6 results in an enclosed, freely available space 4. This space 4 is protected by the equipment carrier against external influences and can be used for the integration of electrical and electronic components, ie for the electronics, power distribution, position sensor, cables.

Durch die Anordnung aller beschriebenen Komponenten auf dem gemeinsamen Geräteträger 5 entfallen umfangreiche Justierarbeiten von Warn-Sensoren 1 und Wirkmitteln 2 bzw. 3a zueinander.The arrangement of all components described on the common equipment carrier 5 accounts for extensive adjustments of warning sensors 1 and 2 active agents or 3a to each other.

Bei der Adaption der autarken Selbstschutz-Plattform auf Fahrzeugen ermöglicht die um die Achse B des Knickgelenks 5a abgeschwenkte Position des Geräteträgers 5 die Einhaltung von Verlademaßen. Die Funktionsfähigkeit der richtbaren Einheiten 3 für die Abschussvorrichtungen 3a, die derart angeordnet sind, dass sie das Einklappen des Geräteträgers 5 nicht behindern, bleibt auch bei eingeklappter Stellung des Geräteträgers 5 erhalten.When adapting the autarkic self-protection platform on vehicles pivoted about the axis B of the articulated joint 5a position of the equipment carrier 5 allows compliance with Verlademaßen. The functionality of the directional units 3 for the launcher 3a, which are arranged so that they do not hinder the folding of the device carrier 5, is maintained even when the position of the device carrier 5 is folded.

Im Fuß des Knickgelenks 5a sind die mechanischen und elektrischen Schnittstellen integriert.The mechanical and electrical interfaces are integrated in the foot of the articulated joint 5a.

In Fig. 5 und 6 ist eine Variante der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 1 bis 4 dargestellt, die sich von dieser Ausführungsform dadurch unterscheidet, dass die Grundplatte, die in Fig. 5 mit 5c' bezeichnet ist, mit der Oberfläche O des Objekts mittels eines Richtantriebs 8 in Azimut richtbar verbunden ist.In Fig. 5 and 6 a variant of the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4 is shown, which differs from this embodiment in that the base plate, which is designated in Fig. 5 with 5c ', with the surface O of the object means a straightening drive 8 is connected in azimuth directionally.

Die übrigen Teile der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 5 und 6 entsprechen genau den Teilen der Ausführungsformen nach Fig. 1 bis 4 und sind mit den gleichen Bezugsziffern bezeichnet. Bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 5 und 6 ist es möglich, die gesamte Selbstschutz-Plattform in Richtung der erwarteten Hauptbedrohung zu richten. Dies ist dann erforderlich, wenn infolge einer Teilausstattung mit Warn-Sensoren 1 nicht der volle Bereich in Azimut sensiert werden kann.The remaining parts of the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6 correspond exactly to the parts of the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 4 and are designated by the same reference numerals. In the embodiment of Figures 5 and 6, it is possible to direct the entire self-protection platform towards the expected major threat. This is necessary if, due to a partial equipment with warning sensors 1, the full range can not be detected in azimuth.
