Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the destruction of a localized mine of the type defined in the preamble of claim 1.
- an unmanned, remote-controlled underwater vehicle a so-called. ROV, as well as equipped with an explosive charge for mine destruction, remote-controlled search and mine destruction unit is used, which via a glass fiber cable with each other are connected.
- the ROV is connected via another fiber optic cable to a surface ship, which has a sonar system for detecting and locating mines.
- the mine and search unit is further equipped with a transponder, acoustic sensors, such as a short-range sonar, with optical sensors, such as a TV camera with a lighting unit, as well as with sensors for measuring actual data for navigation, such as direction of travel, angle to the horizontal plane Distance to the seabed and depth, equipped.
- the transponder corresponds to an acoustic positioning system (APS) whose hydrophones are located on the ROV.
- the ROV has an ejector unit, a so-called launcher, with which the search and mine destruction unit is exposed.
- the search and mine destruction unit is determined by the APS of an im Surface ship positioned operator to the directed to the mine sonar beam of the mine hunting sonar.
- the search and mine destruction unit whose transponder signals as well as the mine echo signals are displayed in the mine hunting sonar display, is then controlled by the operator to the mine.
- the mine is inspected by means of the TV camera, and the search and mine destruction unit is brought to the mine by the operator in a location favorable for the destruction and then remotely ignited by the operator.
- the exploding explosive charge of the search and mine destruction unit which may be, for example, a shaped charge, triggers a detonation of the mine, wherein the search and mine destruction unit is destroyed with.
- the search and mine destruction unit With its acoustic, optical and navigation sensors is the search and
- Mine destruction unit is a relatively costly clearing device, but justified in certain applications, the time savings in the mine destruction cost of use.
- the search and mine destruction unit has not been designed as a disposable vehicle with weapons characteristics, but as a reusable underwater vehicle, which deposits only an explosive charge at the mine and before detonation of explosive charge and mine is overtaken by a surface ship again (Buschhorn and Schütz "mine hunting - a modern variant of the mine mine defense", yearbook of the defense technology, 1976/77, page 142 - 151). After recording the search and mine destruction unit by the
- the invention has for its object to provide a method for mine destruction, which minimizes the cost of the Räumungscuit and compared to methods that use a reusable search and mine destruction unit, brings a significant reduction in the clearance times with it.
- the inventive method has the advantage that by using a primary and a secondary vehicle, both unmanned and have its own drive, as an autonomous, so independent of a platform tandem cost-effective allocation of system components on the reusable primary vehicle and on the designed as a one-way vehicle, a torpedo-like weapon performing secondary vehicle is possible. As a result, the costs incurred by destruction of the secondary vehicle, can be kept quite low.
- the tandem travels autonomously to the mine with the knowledge of the position data of a previously located mine and with the aid of navigation data from an on-board navigation device of the primary vehicle. There, the primary vehicle brings the secondary vehicle by remote control directly to the mine and triggered by a corresponding ignition signal from the detonator of the explosive charge.
- the secondary vehicle from the Primary vehicle are placed in an optimal position for the detonation of the mine and held in this position until the primary vehicle has taken a safe distance from the mine.
- the adjustment of an optimal position of the secondary vehicle in turn allows a smaller explosive charge to bring the mine reliably detonated, so that the space required for receiving the explosive charge space in the secondary vehicle and the total weight of the secondary vehicle is reduced. This is essential for demining because then a larger number of secondary vehicles can be held and carried by the platform to a primary vehicle.
- the secondary engine representing a "mini-effector" can be placed much more accurately and with a significantly reduced amount of explosive, can cause reliable mine destruction.
- primary and secondary vehicles are interconnected by a cable, are transmitted from the primary vehicle to the secondary vehicle steering signals and drive power for the secondary vehicle and also an electrical ignition signal for remote release of the explosive charge is transmitted.
- the stretched between the primary and secondary vehicle cable length is controlled so that it continuously between the vehicles currently existing distance is adjusted. This prevents the cable - as opposed to a unwound and loose-hanging cable - from getting caught on objects or bodies or on exterior elements of the preceding secondary vehicle during approach to the mine and can break.
- a mine destruction system used in the method according to the invention is defined in claim 13 and further embodiments and improvements of
- FIG. 7 is a block diagram of a primary vehicle used in the method of FIGS. 1-6;
- FIG. 8 is a block diagram of a secondary vehicle used in the method of FIGS. 1-6.
- the vehicles 11, 12 are carried by a platform 10, which, for example - as shown in Fig. 1 - is a surface ship.
- the platform 10 may also be a submarine, a dinghy or a helicopter.
- the primary vehicle 11 further has a power source 19 in the form of a fuel cell, a battery or a battery and a navigation device 20 and is equipped with acoustic sensors 21 and optical sensors 22 for underwater use.
- the acoustic sensor used is preferably a near-field sonar known per se, and a TV camera with an illumination device as the optical sensor.
- a cable winch 23 is installed in the primary vehicle 11, on which a connecting cable 24 which can be connected to the secondary vehicle 12 is drummed.
- All components are controlled by a control unit 25, which has an artificial intelligence 26 for processing position data of a localized mine and navigation data of the navigation device 20.
- a memory 27 is provided, which is accessed by the control unit 25.
- the drive power is supplied to the secondary vehicle 12 from the power source 19 of the primary vehicle 11 via the connection cable 24.
- the connecting cable 24 is also still the transmission of steering signals to the steering device 16 of the secondary vehicle 12 and for transmitting an igniter 29 activating trigger signal.
- a control electronics 30 provides for the control of the individual components in dependence on the signals transmitted via the connection cable 24.
- the predetermined mine clearance area is searched by means of an actively located sonar, a so-called mine hunting sonar 31.
- a mine 33 lying on the seabed 32 is detected by way of example and localized by determining its position data in a ground-based coordinate system. If the localized mine 33 is to be destroyed, the position data are stored in the memory 27 of the primary vehicle 11 and the two vehicles 11, 12 connected to one another by a connecting cable 24 are inserted into the water by means of a dispensing device 34 (FIG. 1) (FIG ).
- the tandem formed by the two underwater vehicles 11, 12 operates autonomously, in the primary vehicle 11 by means of the stored position data of the localized mine 33 and the navigation data of the navigation device 20 steering signals for both the primary vehicle 11 and for the secondary vehicle 12 is generated and given to the steering devices 15 and 16 of the two vehicles 11, 12.
- the data is processed via artificial intelligence algorithms 26.
- the tandem initially moves on the shortest possible path in the direction of the seabed 32 (FIG. 2), and then at a distance from the seabed
- the mine 33 is relocated from the primary vehicle 11 (FIG. 4), i. H. their position data are again determined and written in the memory 27, so that now the artificial intelligence control unit 25 improved position data of the mine 33 for generating the steering signals for the secondary vehicle 12 are available and the primary vehicle 11 now the secondary vehicle 12 precisely to the mine 33 can steer. Does the secondary vehicle 12 the mine
- an ignition signal is generated in the primary vehicle 11, which passes via the connecting cable 24 to the igniter 29 in the secondary vehicle 12 and there the explosive charge 28, which may be formed, for example, as a shaped charge, the mine 33 shoots.
- the secondary vehicle 12 Upon detonation of the mine 33, the secondary vehicle 12 is destroyed and the connection cable 24 torn (Fig. 6).
- a program routine is triggered in the control unit 25 of the primary vehicle 11, causing the primary vehicle 11 to return to the platform 10, whose position data are also stored in the memory 27 of the primary vehicle 11, and the control unit 25 for this purpose corresponding steering signals to the steering device 15 of the primary vehicle 11 sets.
- the tandem drives very close to the mine 33, so that from the primary vehicle 11 by means of lighting and TV camera, the mine 33 is visible in all details (Fig. 4).
- control signals 25 are generated by the control unit 25 for the secondary vehicle 12 and given to the secondary vehicle 12 for setting an optimum position for the blast at the mine 33.
- the primary vehicle 11 moves away from the mine 33 to a safety distance (FIG. 5) and detonates the explosive charge 28 by an ignition signal (FIG. 6).
- the invention is not limited to the embodiment described. So have the position data the localized mine will not be stored in the primary vehicle prior to the mission trip of the tandem. They can also be transmitted from the platform to the primary vehicle during the mission trip of the tandem by wireless underwater communication.
