Description
La présente invention est relative à un dispositif pour le lancement d'un missile à partir d'un navire et à un navire équipé d'un tel dispositif.The present invention relates to a device for launching a missile from a ship and to a vessel equipped with such a device.
Les navires militaires équipés de systèmes de lancement de missiles comportent des dispositifs de lancement de missiles constitués de rampes de lancement intégrées afin d'assurer le lancement des missiles au-dessus des bordés du navire, en général en direction soit de bâbord soit de tribord, selon des inclinaisons inférieures ou égales à 45° avec le po nt du navire. Ces missiles qui sont souvent contenus dans des containers sont lancés par exemple à partir de rampes fixes disposées sur le pont extérieur du navire. De telles rampes fixes disposées sur le pont ont l'inconvénient, d'une part, d'être visibles et de présenter une signature radar importante et, d'autre part, d'être vulnérables à des menaces asymétriques du type artillerie de petit calibre ou autres. Afin de réduire la signature visuelle et radar de ces rampes de missile, on dispose parfois autour de ces rampes des pavois qui les masquent au regard de ces menaces. A partir d'une certaine hauteur, il est alors nécessaire de prévoir dans ces pavois des orifices permettant l'évacuation des gaz de propulsion des missiles. Ces orifices peuvent être fermés par des opercules adaptés pour être éjectés au moment du tir des missiles sous l'effet des gaz dégagés par les propulseurs. On peut également fermer ces opercules par des portes de bordés qui peuvent être ouvertes au moment du tir des missiles. En outre, il est aussi possible de prévoir des déflecteurs disposés derrière les rampes de lancement des missiles de façon à orienter les gaz de propulsion en direction des ouvertures prévues dans les pavois ou au dessus des pavois si la hauteur de ces pavois est limitée. Les solutions à base d'opercules ou de portes de bordé présentent l'inconvénient d'être onéreuses, complexes à réaliser et difficiles d'emploi en particulier pour les opercules qui doivent nécessairement être manipulés par des opérateurs pour être remplacés. En outre, lors du tir des missiles, la signature du navire est modifiée jusqu'à la refermeture de la porte ou jusqu'à remplacement des opercules. Afin d'éviter d'avoir des opercules, il est possible de prévoir des ouvertures béantes pour l'évacuation des gaz. Cependant cette disposition présente l'inconvénient de ne pas assurer une bonne protection contre les menaces asymétriques et dégrade les signatures visuelle et radar.Military vessels equipped with missile launching systems include missile launching devices consisting of integrated launching ramps to launch missiles over the ship's side, usually to either port or starboard, at inclinations less than or equal to 45 ° with the ship's po nt. These missiles which are often contained in containers are launched for example from fixed ramps arranged on the outer deck of the ship. Such fixed ramps on the deck have the drawback of being visible and of having a significant radar signature, and of being vulnerable to asymmetric threats of the small-caliber artillery type. or others. In order to reduce the visual and radar signature of these missile ramps, there are sometimes bulwarks around these ramps that hide them from these threats. From a certain height, it is then necessary to provide in these bulwarks orifices allowing the evacuation of the missile propulsion gases. These orifices may be closed by lids adapted to be ejected at the time of firing missiles under the effect of the gases released by the thrusters. These lids can also be closed by plating doors that can be opened when the missiles are fired. In addition, it is also possible to provide deflectors behind the missile launching ramps so as to orient the propulsion gases towards the openings provided in the bulwarks or above the bulwarks if the height of these bulwarks is limited. Solutions based lids or plating doors have the disadvantage of being expensive, complex to achieve and difficult to use especially for the lids which must necessarily be manipulated by operators to be replaced. In addition, when firing missiles, the signature of the ship is changed until the closing of the door or until replacement of the covers. To avoid having lids, it is possible to provide gaping openings for the evacuation of gases. However, this provision has the drawback of do not provide good protection against asymmetric threats and degrade visual and radar signatures.
On a également proposé de prévoir des rampes de missiles escamotables qui ont l'avantage de pouvoir être masquées lorsqu'elles ne sont pas utilisées et ainsi d'être bien protégées des menaces. Mais cette disposition, outre son coût important, présente l'inconvénient de ne pas assurer la disponibilité opérationnelle permanente du système d'armes puisqu'il est nécessaire de mettre les rampes de missiles en position avant de pouvoir les tirer.It has also been proposed to provide retractable missile ramps that have the advantage that they can be masked when not in use and thus be well protected from threats. But this provision, in addition to its significant cost, has the disadvantage of not ensuring the permanent operational availability of the weapon system since it is necessary to put the missile ramps in position before being able to pull them.

A la
Une rampe de lancement de missiles fixe 9 est implantée à l'intérieur de la fosse 4. Cette rampe de lancement de missiles est constituée d'un support 10, d'un capot de protection contre le soleil 10A, de berceaux 11 de maintien, de conteneurs de missile 12 inclinés.A fixed
Le dispositif de lancement de missiles comprend un moyen repéré généralement 14 destiné à l'évacuation des gaz de propulsion des missiles lors d'un tir nominal ou retenu, c'est-à-dire résultant de l'allumage intempestif des propulseurs du missile. Ce moyen 14 d'évacuation des gaz est situé en regard de l'extrémité arrière 13 des conteneurs de missile. Ce moyen d'évacuation des gaz comprend un déflecteur 15 constitué de tôles recouvertes d'une couche 16 de matériau réfractaire, bordé de flasques latéraux 17 et dont la partie supérieure est partiellement recouverte par des ventelles 18 de façon à constituer une gaine 19 débouchant sur l'extérieur par une ouverture 20 prévue dans la paroi latérale 7. La géométrie de l'ouverture 20 et des différentes parois de la gaine 19, sont adaptées de façon d'une part à assurer une bonne évacuation des gaz que ce soit au moment du lancement d'un missile ou en cas d'allumage intempestif d'un missile ou même de plusieurs missiles, et en même temps d'assurer une faible signature radar liée à l'ouverture. L'homme du métier sait déterminer les géométries optimales à la fois pour assurer une bonne évacuation des gaz et pour assurer une faible signature radar.The missile launching device comprises a means generally marked 14 for the evacuation of the missile propulsion gases during a nominal or sustained fire, that is to say resulting from the inadvertent ignition of the missile thrusters. This means 14 of evacuation of gases is located opposite the rear end 13 of the missile containers. This gas evacuation means comprises a
En outre le pavois 7 et les ventelles 18 peuvent être réalisées en acier de blindage ou d'une épaisseur suffisante de façon à pouvoir assurer une protection contre des attaques à l'aide de moyens de puissance modérée tel que l'artillerie de petit calibre.In addition the
Comme on l'a indiqué précédemment les parois latérales 7 et 8, c'est-à-dire les pavois, ont des hauteurs adaptées pour masquer la rampe de lancement de missile équipé de ses missiles à la vue et à des radars d'observateurs qui se situent au niveau de l'horizontale ou légèrement en dessus de l'horizontale.As previously indicated, the
Comme on l'a indiqué précédemment le conduit d'évacuation des gaz, défini par le déflecteur 15, les flasques 17 et les ventelles 18, a une géométrie adaptée pour masquer la rampe de lancement de missile équipé de ses missiles à la vue et à des radars d'observateurs qui se situent au niveau de l'horizontale ou légèrement en dessus de l'horizontale.As indicated previously, the gas evacuation duct, defined by the
En outre, pour diminuer la signature radar de la rampe de lancement de missiles fixe 9 lorsque notamment le navire est incliné ou si les menaces ont une incidence comprise entre l'horizontale et - 3°, et de préférence, -5°, par rapport à l'horizontale, les pavois 7 et 8 comportent des rabats intérieurs 21 et 22 (bord tombé) qui sont inclinés avec des angles adaptés de façon à assurer une réflexion des ondes radar dans des directions différentes de la direction d'arrivée.In addition, to reduce the radar signature of the fixed
Bien évidemment la hauteur des pavois ainsi que la position des rampes de lancement et l'inclinaison des containers à missile sur ces rampes de lancement sont adaptées pour que le cône de dégagement 23 des missiles passe au-dessus de l'arrête supérieure des pavois. Comme on le voit sur cette figure cette disposition suppose que le navire soit suffisamment large pour pouvoir disposer l'ensemble des équipements tout en assurant à la fois un bon fonctionnement et une bonne protection contre les agressions asymétriques, une bonne dissimulation optique et une faible signature radar.Obviously, the height of the bulwarks as well as the position of the launching ramps and the inclination of the missile containers on these launching ramps are adapted so that the
Pour certains missiles dont les effets thermiques des gaz de propulsion sont importants et/ou pour lesquels il existe un risque de tir intempestif dont les conséquences sur la plate-forme au regard de la probabilité d'occurrence sont jugées inacceptables, le conduit d'évacuation des gaz défini par le déflecteur 15, les flasques 17 et les ventelles 18 est partiellement recouvert de matériaux réfractaires. La pose de ces revêtements permet d'assurer la sécurité de la plate-forme et des personnels en garantissant l'intégrité du dispositif pendant et après le tir. La réutilisation du dispositif reste toujours possible.For certain missiles whose thermal effects of propulsion gases are significant and / or for which there is a risk of untimely fire whose consequences on the platform with regard to the probability of occurrence are considered unacceptable, the evacuation pipe gas defined by the
En général de tels dispositifs de lancement de missiles sont montés sur des navires tels que des frégates qui sont suffisamment larges pour pouvoir implanter deux rampes de missiles l'une orientée de façon à pouvoir envoyer des missiles par bâbord et l'autre façon à pouvoir envoyer des missiles par tribord.In general such missile launching devices are mounted on ships such as frigates that are large enough to be able to implement two missile ramps one oriented to be able to send missiles on the port side and the other way to be able to send missiles by starboard.
Une implantation de ce type est représentée dans la
La rampe de lancement 9 est complétée par un moyen d'évacuation des gaz, non visible sur la figure, qui débouche par une ouverture 20 prévue dans le pavois 7 qui prolonge le bordé 5 situé à bâbord du navire. Cette rampe de lancement est prévue pour lancer des missiles au-dessus du pavois 8 qui prolonge le bordé 6 tribord. Le pavois 8 comporte une échancrure 24 qui permet de respecter le cône de dégagement des missiles tout en gardant une marge permettant de pallier ou défaut de positionnement et de fabrication. La fosse à lancement de missiles 4 comporte une deuxième rampe de lancement de missiles 9' orientée de façon à pouvoir lancer des missiles au-dessus du pavois 7 situé à bâbord. Cette rampe de lancement de missiles 9' est disposée devant un moyen 14' d'évacuation des gaz constitué d'un déflecteur 15' bordé par des flasques latéraux 17' et dont la partie supérieure est recouverte par des ventelles 18 de façon à constituer un conduit d'évacuation 19' des gaz.The launching

Mais il est possible de disposer de tels dispositifs de lancement de missiles à la partie avant ou arrière du navire avec des rampes de lancement orientées de façon à pouvoir lancer les missiles vers l'avant ou l'arrière du navire.But it is possible to have such missile launching devices at the front or rear of the ship with launching ramps oriented so as to launch the missiles forward or the rear of the ship.
Dans tous les cas, la fosse du dispositif de lancement de missiles est délimitée par des parois latérales qui s'étendent à la périphérie du navire. Par parois qui s'étendent à la périphérie du navire, on entend des parois qui s'étendent au moins partiellement sur les côtés bâbord ou tribord ou sur l'arrière du navire.In all cases, the pit of the missile launching device is delimited by lateral walls which extend to the periphery of the ship. By walls which extend to the periphery of the vessel means walls which extend at least partially on the port or starboard sides or on the stern of the ship.
