Description

La présente invention concerne un système d'optimisation de la stratégie d'attaque d'au moins une cible par au moins une arme sous-marine lancée depuis un porteur et un procédé d'optimisation correspondant.The present invention relates to a system for optimizing the attack strategy of at least one target by at least one submarine weapon launched from a carrier and a corresponding optimization method.

On sait que les armes sous-marines telles que, par exemple, des torpilles lancées à partir d'un porteur tel qu'un navire de surface ou encore un sous-marin ou autre, embarquent une centrale de guidage dans un module de mission.It is known that underwater weapons such as, for example, torpedoes launched from a carrier such as a surface ship or even a submarine or the like, embed a guidance unit in a mission module.

La centrale de guidage est alors programmée et codée avec l'ensemble des règles de la stratégie d'attaque.The guidance center is then programmed and coded with all the rules of the attack strategy.

L'intégration de nouveaux scenarii et de nouvelles règles se traduit alors par la nécessité de reprogrammer la centrale de guidage.The integration of new scenarios and new rules then translates into the need to reprogram the guidance center.

On sait également que de telles armes sous-marines telles que par exemple les torpilles, disposent d'une liaison de données avec le porteur comme par exemple avec le navire porteur.It is also known that such submarine weapons such as torpedoes, for example, have a data link with the carrier such as for example with the carrier ship.

Il est ainsi possible de guider manuellement l'arme en utilisant ces liaisons pour permettre une transmission d'instructions d'un opérateur depuis le navire porteur vers l'arme sous-marine et ainsi d'adapter les stratégies de mission en temps réel, tant que la liaison n'est pas coupée.It is thus possible to manually guide the weapon using these links to allow transmission of instructions from an operator from the carrier vessel to the submarine weapon and thus to adapt the mission strategies in real time, both that the link is not cut.

Le but de l'invention est d'améliorer encore ces systèmes.The aim of the invention is to further improve these systems.

A cet effet l'invention a pour objet un système d'optimisation de la stratégie d'attaque d'au moins une cible par au moins une arme sous-marine lancée depuis un porteur, caractérisé en ce que la ou chaque arme et le porteur comportent des moyens d'acquisition de données de comportement de ladite au moins une cible, de ladite au moins une arme et du porteur, et des moyens de transmission de ces informations à destination d'au moins un module d'intelligence artificielle à apprentissage adapté pour délivrer des informations d'optimisation de stratégie d'attaque à ladite au moins une arme.To this end, the object of the invention is a system for optimizing the attack strategy of at least one target by at least one submarine weapon launched from a carrier, characterized in that the or each weapon and the carrier include means for acquiring behavior data from said at least one target, from said at least one weapon and from the carrier, and means for transmitting this information to at least one adapted learning artificial intelligence module to deliver attack strategy optimization information to said at least one weapon.

Dans des modes de réalisation particuliers de l'invention, ce système d'optimisation de la stratégie d'attaque d'au moins une cible par au moins une arme sous-marine lancée depuis un porteur présente en outre l'une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, prise(s) isolement ou suivant toute(s) combinaison(s) techniquement possible(s) :

  • le porteur et ladite au moins une arme comprennent chacun un module d'intelligence artificielle à apprentissage ;
  • des règles de sécurité de stratégie d'attaque sont fixées dans ladite au moins une arme pour éviter toute attaque indésirable ;
  • ladite au moins une arme comporte des moyens formant centrale de guidage dans un module de mission, adapté pour prendre le contrôle de l'arme en cas de rupture de la liaison entre ladite au moins une arme et le porteur ;
  • les informations de guidage issues du porteur sont prioritaires sur celles issues de l'arme elle-même ;
  • le module d'intelligence artificielle comporte un module d'apprentissage basé sur des réseaux neuronaux.
In particular embodiments of the invention, this system for optimizing the attack strategy of at least one target by at least one submarine weapon launched from a carrier also exhibits one or more of the characteristics following, isolated socket (s) or any technically possible combination (s):
  • the carrier and said at least one weapon each comprise a learning artificial intelligence module;
  • attack strategy security rules are set in said at least one weapon to prevent any unwanted attack;
  • said at least one weapon comprises means forming a central guide in a mission module, adapted to take control of the weapon in the event of a break in the connection between said at least one weapon and the carrier;
  • the guidance information coming from the carrier has priority over that coming from the weapon itself;
  • the artificial intelligence module comprises a learning module based on neural networks.

Selon un autre aspect, l'invention a également pour objet un procédé d'optimisation de la stratégie d'attaque d'au moins une cible par au moins une arme sous-marine lancée depuis un porteur, en mettant en oeuvre au moins un module d'intelligence artificielle.According to another aspect, the subject of the invention is also a method for optimizing the attack strategy of at least one target by at least one submarine weapon launched from a carrier, by implementing at least one module. artificial intelligence.

Selon une particularité, le module d'intelligence artificielle est chargé à l'aide d'informations collectées et/ou simulées puis interprétées afin de permettre son apprentissage et son application à cette optimisation.According to one particular feature, the artificial intelligence module is loaded using information collected and / or simulated and then interpreted in order to allow it to be learned and applied to this optimization.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant au dessin annexé qui représente un schéma synoptique illustrant la structure et le fonctionnement d'un système d'optimisation de la stratégie d'attaque d'au moins une cible par au moins une arme sous-marine.The invention will be better understood on reading the description which will follow, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawing which represents a block diagram illustrating the structure and operation of a system for optimizing the performance. strategy of attacking at least one target by at least one submarine weapon.

On a en effet illustré sur ces figures, une arme sous-marine désignée par la référence générale 1 et constituée par exemple par une torpille.In fact, these figures illustrate an underwater weapon designated by the general reference 1 and constituted for example by a torpedo.

Cette arme sous-marine est par exemple lancée depuis un porteur tel qu'un navire, désigné par la référence générale 2, ce navire porteur pouvant être un sous-marin ou encore un bâtiment de surface.This submarine weapon is for example launched from a carrier such as a ship, designated by the general reference 2, this carrier vessel possibly being a submarine or even a surface vessel.

L'arme ou chacune des armes et le navire porteur comportent alors des moyens d'acquisition de données de comportement de ladite au moins une cible, de ladite au moins une arme et du navire porteur, ces moyens étant désignés par la référence générale 3 pour l'arme sous-marine et 4 pour le navire porteur.The weapon or each of the weapons and the carrier vessel then comprise means for acquiring data on the behavior of said at least one target, of said at least one weapon and of the carrier vessel, these means being designated by the general reference 3 for the submarine weapon and 4 for the carrier ship.

Des moyens 5 de transmission de ces informations sont prévus entre ces capteurs et au moins à un module d'intelligence artificielle a apprentissage désigné par la référence générale 6 sur cette figure.Means 5 for transmitting this information are provided between these sensors and at least to one learning artificial intelligence module designated by the general reference 6 in this figure.

Ceci permet au module d'intelligence artificielle à apprentissage 6 d'avoir un accès à la fois aux moyens d'acquisition de données de l'au moins une arme 1 et du navire porteur 2.This allows the learning artificial intelligence module 6 to have access to both the data acquisition means of the at least one weapon 1 and of the carrier vessel 2.

Les moyens d'acquisition 4 du porteur sont généralement plus performants, le module d'intelligence artificielle à apprentissage 6 a alors à sa disposition des données de meilleure qualité et le résultat de l'optimisation de la stratégie d'attaque gagne en pertinence.The carrier's acquisition means 4 are generally more efficient, the learning artificial intelligence module 6 then has better quality data at its disposal and the result of the optimization of the attack strategy becomes more relevant.

Dans l'exemple illustré sur cette figure, un seul module d'intelligence artificielle est intégré dans le navire porteur.In the example illustrated in this figure, a single artificial intelligence module is integrated in the carrier vessel.

Il va de soi bien entendu que d'autres modes de réalisation peuvent être envisagés, ce module étant intégré dans l'arme sous-marine et/ou dans le navire porteur.It goes without saying of course that other embodiments can be envisaged, this module being integrated in the submarine weapon and / or in the carrier vessel.

Ce module d'intelligence artificielle à apprentissage 6 est alors adapté pour délivrer des informations d'optimisation de stratégie d'attaque à ladite au moins une arme.This learning artificial intelligence module 6 is then adapted to deliver attack strategy optimization information to said at least one weapon.

Ceci est par exemple assuré par des moyens formant centrale de guidage intégrés dans un module de mission 8 de l'arme.This is for example ensured by means forming a central guide integrated in a mission module 8 of the weapon.

Ces moyens et ce module sont alors adaptés notamment pour prendre le contrôle de l'arme en cas de rupture de la liaison entre ladite au moins une arme et le navire porteur et des règles de sécurité de stratégie d'attaque sont fixées dans cette arme pour éviter toute attaque indésirable, par exemple dans le module de mission 8.These means and this module are then adapted in particular to take control of the weapon in the event of a break in the connection between said at least one weapon and the carrier ship, and attack strategy security rules are set in this weapon for avoid any unwanted attack, for example in mission module 8.

Par ailleurs, les informations de guidage issues du navire porteur sont prioritaires sur celles issues de l'arme elle-même.Furthermore, the guidance information coming from the carrier ship has priority over that coming from the weapon itself.

Ce navire porteur 2 peut également comporter un module de mission désigné par la référence générale 9.On notera également que le module d'intelligence artificielle comporte par exemple un module d'apprentissage basé sur des réseaux neuronaux.This carrier vessel 2 can also include a mission module designated by the general reference 9. It will also be noted that the artificial intelligence module comprises for example a learning module based on neural networks.

Dans ce cas, on met alors en œuvre un tel module d'intelligence artificielle dans le cadre d'un procédé d'optimisation dans la stratégie d'attaque d'au moins une cible par une arme sous-marine lancée depuis un porteur tel qu'un navire.In this case, such an artificial intelligence module is then implemented as part of an optimization method in the attack strategy of at least one target by an underwater weapon launched from a carrier such as 'a ship.

Ce module d'intelligence artificielle est alors chargé à l'aide d'informations collectées et/ou simulées puis interprétées, afin de permettre son apprentissage et son application à cette optimisation.This artificial intelligence module is then loaded using information collected and / or simulated and then interpreted, in order to allow it to be learned and applied to this optimization.

Bien entendu, d'autres modes de réalisation encore peuvent être envisagés.Of course, still other embodiments can be envisaged.

Dans l'exemple illustré on peut alors considérer qu'il existe une relation maitre/esclave entre le module du porteur et le module de l'arme.In the example illustrated, it can then be considered that there is a master / slave relationship between the modulus of the carrier and the modulus of the weapon.

Tant que la torpille est reliée au porteur par une liaison de données, le module du porteur transmet les informations de guidage à l'arme sous-marine en contournant le module correspondant de la torpille.As long as the torpedo is connected to the carrier by a data link, the carrier module transmits guidance information to the submarine weapon bypassing the corresponding module of the torpedo.

Une fois que la liaison est interrompue, par exemple lorsque la longueur maximale de câble est atteinte, ou volontairement pour amorcer une dernière phase d'approche, ou à la suite d'une manœuvre brusque du porteur etc..., le module de l'arme sous-marine prend le relais et fournit des instructions de guidage en s'appuyant sur son propre réseau de capteurs.Once the link is interrupted, for example when the maximum cable length is reached, or voluntarily to initiate a final approach phase, or following a sudden maneuver by the carrier, etc., the module of the l The submarine weapon takes over and provides guidance instructions using its own network of sensors.

C'est dans ce cas qu'on intègre le module d'intelligence artificielle activé après apprentissage.It is in this case that we integrate the artificial intelligence module activated after learning.

Ce module d'apprentissage peut alors utiliser des données collectées lors de déploiements antérieurs ou issues de simulation d'engagement.This learning module can then use data collected during previous deployments or from simulation of engagement.

Comme le module d'intelligence artificielle ne s'appuie pas sur un corps de règles prédéfini, il est capable de proposer une solution à une situation non prévue ou non programmée.As the artificial intelligence module is not based on a predefined body of rules, it is able to propose a solution to an unforeseen or unscheduled situation.

Dans un mode de réalisation, l'arme 1 embarque un module d'intelligence artificielle à apprentissage communiquant avec le module de guidage.In one embodiment, the weapon 1 embeds a learning artificial intelligence module communicating with the guidance module.

Cela permet au module d'intelligence artificielle à apprentissage de traiter les données issues des moyens d'acquisition de l'arme et ainsi de continuer à optimiser la stratégie d'attaque une fois la liaison de donnée interrompue entre le porteur et l'arme.This allows the learning artificial intelligence module to process the data coming from the weapon's acquisition means and thus to continue to optimize the attack strategy once the data link between the carrier and the weapon has been interrupted.

Bien entendu, d'autres modes de réalisation peuvent être envisagés.Of course, other embodiments can be considered.
