Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heavyweight torpedo for launching into a body of water out of sight of a target with a parachute, a parachute torpedo linkage and a parachute solvent, as well as a transport carriage and an aircraft.
  • a heavyweight torpedo is eg off US 3,713,387 A1 known.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the prior art.
  • Such a heavyweight torpedo in contrast to previously used torpedoes, can be spent out of sight of a target and or very far from a target in a body of water.
  • this is due to the fact that the heavy-weight torpedo has sufficient energy for the drive system and other systems, which ensures that the programmed target is achieved in particular by means of a high-precision waypoint navigation and the associated attack operation can be performed.
  • modifications to a missile are not necessary.
  • any special bomb shafts or other mechanical devices since such a heavyweight torpedo can be sold with conventional means of transport into the water.
  • the risk is minimized that the aircraft, which spends the heavyweight torpedo is destroyed during a mission. This is particularly the case because the aircraft can operate outside the visibility of the target to be destroyed.
  • slow and / or difficult to maneuver transport aircraft or transport helicopters can be used, which can spend the heavyweight torpedo, for example, in a normal operating altitude of, for example, 50m or 100m above a water surface.
  • torpedoes can not be brought near targets to be destroyed.
  • the two-stage parachute solvent on the one hand a safe movement of the torpedo and on the other easy handling can be ensured.
  • securing mechanisms can be provided which are each initiated and / or completed by the two stages.
  • the "heavyweight torpedo" or occasionally the heavyweight torpedo has a length of at least 4m. The greater the distance from the drop point to the target to be destroyed, the longer the heavy weight torpedo can be configured. In particular, such a heavyweight torpedo has a length of more than 5m or even more than 6m. While prior art lightweight torpedoes only have a length between 1m to 3m and a diameter of 15cm to 20cm, a heavy weight torpedo generally has a diameter greater than 45cm or even 60cm. Typical diameter data are given in inches (") and are for a heavyweight torpedo, for example 19" or 21 ".
  • settling into a body of water is meant, in particular, the movement or discharge of the heavy-weight torpedo into a lake, river or sea out of an aircraft. The place where this is done is referred to in particular as the drop point.
  • the "target” is a watercraft or other structure, especially man-made, on or in or below a body of water.
  • this includes ships, submarines, platforms and the like.
  • a “parachute” is understood to mean, in particular, a technical device which spends the heavyweight torpedo from a settling height substantially intact into the water. An integrity is given in particular if, after the abandonment of the heavyweight torpedo can successfully continue its use.
  • the parachute in particular increases the air resistance or generates a dynamic lift, which reduces the falling speed of the heavyweight torpedo.
  • such a parachute on a mostly made of cloth or silk cap in which partially the air is jammed.
  • it is the parachute and a so-called load parachute.
  • a "parachute torpedo link” is a mechanical link between the heavyweight torpedo and the parachute.
  • the parachute release solves this connection to separate the parachute and heavy weight torpedo.
  • the "parachute solvent” means that remove the parachute or act in the operation of the parachute that the heavyweight torpedo without the retarding effect of the parachute, the use in or under water can continue substantially unhindered.
  • the parachute release means can be mechanically implemented, such as a mechanically removable bolt, or can also act due to chemical or electrical action or even by means of a blast.
  • the parachute solvent is passively formed by means of a predetermined breaking point which, when the torpedo is started under water, causes the parachute to be "torn off".
  • the parachute solvent may be an explosive device which, in a defined manner, detaches the parachute or device connected to the parachute.
  • the first stage "release" the predetermined breaking point, so that breaks in the second stage, the predetermined breaking point.
  • a split pin can be arranged in the notch of a predetermined breaking point, which stabilizes the predetermined breaking point, so that the predetermined breaking point holds during the first stage and before activating the second stage, the split pin is removed, so that the predetermined breaking point breaks.
  • the first stage deactivates any securing means, so that the separation of the parachute can be made only.
  • the heavy weight torpedo comprises a water entry detection means, wherein the parachute solvent and the water entry detection means are arranged such that, at a first stage initiation, the parachute release means are at a defined height above a water level, at a water contact of the torpedo, at a partial dive of the torpedo or at activated by a submerged torpedo.
  • the parachute solvent can only be used when the heavy weight torpedo is spent or will be spent undamaged. Furthermore, depending on the position of the heavyweight torpedo certain functionalities can be activated.
  • the water entry detection means detect a distance to a water surface or recognize the contact with the water surface or can determine to at which time at least parts of the torpedo are already immersed in the water.
  • the “water level” or the “water surface” is the water level, averaged over time in particular, in which any wave movements have already been averaged.
  • a "partial immersion” is to be assumed in particular if at least 5% and less than 95% of the torpedo volume are below the water level. Full immersion is assumed to be from a submerged volume of 95%.
  • the water inlet detection means comprise a pressure sensor, a sonar, a conductivity sensor and / or a distance sensor.
  • the pressure sensor can use the determination of the air pressure to determine the height above the water level.
  • the discharge height was made available to the torpedo as the measured value during the discharge and the air pressure relevant for the height was determined in advance by the pressure sensor for calibration.
  • an alternative pressure sensor may detect the penetration of the torpedo into the water due to the corresponding pressure load on a heavy duty torpedo housing.
  • a pressure sensor may for example be designed as strain gauges, which determines such pressure changes by means of downstream electronics.
  • the active sonar which is usually present in the heavy-weight torpedo in the bow, can already emit a sound signal in the flight phase, for example, which is reflected by the water surface and determines height information on the basis of the Doppler effect or the transceiver duration.
  • the sonar can determine when it is immersed in the water, since this changes the characteristic behavior of the emitted sound.
  • a conductivity sensor which detects, for example, the salinity of the water, can determine that parts of the torpedo are located in the water.
  • the sonar can be used as a distance sensor and an optical system which evaluates, for example, a laser beam or an optical signal of a light emitting diode.
  • altitude information from the aircraft in combination with a time measurement can be used as a water inlet detection means.
  • the parachute torpedoheck ingredient be arranged so that the drive means experience the least mechanical stress when entering the water.
  • the parachute is arranged in a collapsed state in a parachute cartridge.
  • a torpedo can be provided with activated parachute.
  • the parachute release means may release both the parachute itself and the parachute cartridge.
  • the heavy-weight torpedo can be set up in such a way that the heavy-weight torpedo is activated with or after an activation of the parachute, ie during or after the first stage.
  • the activation of the heavy-weight torpedo comprises, in particular, the activation of the energy section, because in particular with the batteries used with the activation of a combination of different chemical substances takes place and it could possibly lead to overheating of a torpedo, if the torpedo is not sent on its mission mission.
  • the heavyweight torpedo has a data memory which has aircraft data, in particular aircraft navigation data.
  • a heavy-weight torpedo needs the most accurate initial position and / or direction data.
  • the torpedo may receive the position and / or direction data from the aircraft to start with that data as a fix and / or as an initial orientation.
  • the parachute torpedo connection can have a first predetermined breaking point and / or a second predetermined breaking point, wherein in particular the first predetermined breaking point during initiation of the first step and / or the second predetermined breaking point during Disconnecting the parachute breaks or breaks.
  • one of the two predetermined breaking points or can both predetermined breaking points have a predetermined breaking point, for example in the form of a splint. The breaking point protection prevents in particular the breaking of the corresponding secured breaking point.
  • a "predetermined breaking point” is generally in particular a design element provided by design and / or mechanical and / or physical measures or designs. Especially in case of overload, this element will deliberately and predictably fail, thereby keeping a possible damage in an overall system small or to achieve a special function. At the planned breakpoint is often a notch or scoring found. Due to the notch effect here the component is significantly weakened.
  • the parachute torpedo connection has a securing means, which is set up in such a way that the securing means is released when the first stage is initiated.
  • securing means in particular the predetermined breaking point protection described above can be used.
  • An electronic or electromechanical securing means is also included.
  • the securing means may comprise a pin, in particular a split pin, which is destroyed or removed upon initiation of the first stage.
  • the object is achieved by a transport carriage for a transport aircraft for a heavyweight torpedo described above.
  • the pin is connected to the transport carriage. Thus, after activating the parachute and thus the first stage, the pin remains on the transport carriage and the second stage of activation is enabled.
  • the object is achieved by an aircraft, in particular a transport aircraft, which has a previously described heavyweight torpedo or a transport carriage described above.
  • a system may be provided which spits heavyweight torpedoes out of the air into a body of water out of sight of a target by means of a parachute.
  • aircraft includes all flying equipment such as transport aircraft or helicopters.
  • the aircraft may have an openable tailgate, on which, in an open state, the Heavyweight torpedo is deductible.
  • the Herkules C130 and the Transall C160 have such an openable tailgate.
  • the aircraft has at least one data line which is connected to the heavy-weight torpedo for data exchange.
  • navigation and / or mission data can still be transmitted to the heavyweight torpedo at a very late point in time.
  • a transport aircraft 101 has an openable tailgate 102. Disposed inside the transport plane 101 is a heavyweight torpedo 103 of 5.0 m in length and 19 "in diameter on a transport carriage (not shown) .
  • the heavyweight torpedo 103 has a sonic head 105, a drive 107 and a parachute cassette 109 with an associated one Parachute 111.
  • heavyweight torpedo 103 is connected to the navigation computer via a data line (not shown) and to the energy system of transport aircraft 101 via a power supply line (not shown).
  • a mechanical connection 141 of the parachute cartridge 109 with the heavyweight torpedo 103 has a first notch, which is designed as predetermined breaking points.
  • the first notch 145 is stabilized by a splint 147.
  • the splint 147 is connected via a metal wire to the transport carriage.
  • the folded parachute 111 is activated by opening the parachute cassette 109.
  • the parachute 111 opens and, due to the (traveling) wind engaging in the parachute cap, the heavyweight torpedo 103 is removed from the rear of the transport aircraft 101 [see Fig. 1 a.)].
  • the splint 147 connected to the transport carriage is pulled off and the first notch 145 is activated as a predetermined breaking point.
  • the heavyweight torpedo 103 aligns vertically with its torpedo head in the direction of the water surface 121 [see Fig. 1 b.)], wherein the first notch 145 is designed to hold this load.
  • the heavyweight torpedo 103 tracks its mission and destroys the out-of-sight target (not shown).
