Abstract

The invention relates to a camouflage screen generator which can generate a cloud which is opaque in the visible range and/or in the infrared range, around a mobile vehicle, such as a combat vehicle, and can move with it. The generator comprises a tank 10 of products to be dispersed, which products are liquid or powdery and generate a cloud which is opaque in the visible range and/or in the infrared range, and a compressed-gas tank 12, both these being on board the vehicle, the camouflage cloud being emitted by a plurality of nozzles 16 distributed along the periphery of the vehicle and connected to the tank of products via pipework.

Description

Générateur d'écran de camouflage embarqué à bord d'un véhicule. Camouflage screen generator on board a vehicle.

La présente invention concerne un générateur d'écran de camouflage. The present invention relates to a camouflage screen generator.

On connaît un premier type de générateur d'écran de camouflage qui se présente sous forme d'une munition pyrotechnique produisant un aérosol solide. Dans un autre type de générateur connu, on génère un aérosol liquide ou solide en injectant un produit de camouflage dans une veine gazeuse, chaude ou froide, et à débit plus ou moins important suivant l'étendue et ltopacité de l'écran que l'on cherche à obtenir. A first type of camouflage screen generator is known which is in the form of a pyrotechnic munition producing a solid aerosol. In another known type of generator, a liquid or solid aerosol is generated by injecting a camouflage product into a gaseous vein, hot or cold, and at a more or less high flow rate depending on the size and the capacity of the screen than the we are looking for.

Dans ces deux cas, le nuage est produit localement, au point où est installé le générateur, et son extension par rapport à ce point dépend directement de l'aérologie du lieu. Lorsqu'on souhaite canoufler efficacement un véhicule mobile, il est nécessaire de muitiplier les points d'émission sur le trajet dudit véhicule. In these two cases, the cloud is produced locally, at the point where the generator is installed, and its extension relative to this point depends directly on the aerology of the place. When it is desired to effectively stifle a mobile vehicle, it is necessary to multiply the emission points on the path of said vehicle.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à cet inconvénient et pour ce faire elle a pour objet un générateur d'écran de canouflage susceptible de générer un nuage opaque dans le visible et/ou dans 1' infrarouge autour d' un véhicule mobile, tel qu'un véhicule de coribat, et se de déplacer avec lui, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un réservoir de produits à disperser, liquides ou pulvérulents, générateurs d'un nuage opaque dans le visible et/ou dans l'infrarouge, et un réservoir de gaz comprimé, tous deux embarqués à bord du véhicule, le nuage de canouflage étant émis par une pluralité de buses réparties sur la périphérie du véhicule et reliées au réservoir de produits par des canalisations. The present invention aims to remedy this drawback and to do this it relates to a canouflage screen generator capable of generating an opaque cloud in the visible and / or 1 infrared around a mobile vehicle, such as a coribat vehicle, and to move with it, characterized in that it comprises a reservoir of products to be dispersed, liquids or powders, generators of an opaque cloud in the visible and / or in the infrared, and a reservoir of compressed gas, both on board the vehicle, the cloud of canouflage being emitted by a plurality of nozzles distributed over the periphery of the vehicle and connected to the reservoir of products by pipes.

Un tel générateur offre de larges possibilités dans le temps et dans l'espace. Ainsi, il émet un nuage de canouflage qui enveloppe le véhicule et qui se déplace avec lui. La durée du camouflage est très longue. De plus, le nuage émis permet de camoufler momentanément certains objectifs fixes situés sur le trajet du véhicule. On peut également n'ér,lettre le nuage que par intermittences de manière à augmenter 1' autonomie du générateur. Such a generator offers wide possibilities in time and space. Thus, it emits a cloud of canouflage which envelops the vehicle and which moves with him. The duration of the camouflage is very long. In addition, the cloud emitted makes it possible to temporarily camouflage certain fixed objectives located on the path of the vehicle. It is also possible to er, letter the cloud only intermittently so as to increase the autonomy of the generator.

L'émission du nuage de camouflage peut être modulée, arrEtée et reprise selon les nécessités opérationnelles, ce qui est très difficile à effectuer avec un générateur pyrotechnique. La formation du nuage est instantanée, car il suffit d'appuyer sur le bouton de comnande pour obtenir sans aucun retard l'émission du nuage. The emission of the camouflage cloud can be modulated, stopped and resumed according to operational needs, which is very difficult to perform with a pyrotechnic generator. The formation of the cloud is instantaneous, because it is enough to press on the control button to obtain without any delay the emission of the cloud.

On notera que le dispositif peut être facilement rechargé et que le nuage émis est insensible au gradient thermique en fonction de l'altitude au lieu d'émission. De plus, le véhicule équipé du générateur de camouflage peut se placer de manière à ce que le nuage qu'il émet senre en même temps à camoufler un autre véhicule qui se déplace avec lui. Par exemple le véhicule équipé du générateur se placera entre 1' autre véhicule et la position présumée du dispositif de télémétrage. Note that the device can be easily recharged and that the emitted cloud is insensitive to the thermal gradient as a function of the altitude at the place of emission. In addition, the vehicle equipped with the camouflage generator can be positioned so that the cloud it emits at the same time feels like camouflaging another vehicle which is moving with it. For example, the vehicle fitted with the generator will be placed between the other vehicle and the presumed position of the telemetry device.

Le générateur peut être similaire à celui décrit dans la demande de brevet français nO 82 03 012 déposée le 24 Février 1982 au nom de la Demanderesse. The generator can be similar to that described in French patent application no. 82 03 012 filed on February 24, 1982 in the name of the Applicant.

Les moyens de comnande des organes de génération du nuage, tels que la vanne d'ouverture de gaz comprimé, le sélecteur de buses et la vanne d'ouverture des buses, sont regroupés en un nêne point du véhicule, par exemple au poste de pilotage ou au poste du chef de bord. The control means of the cloud generation members, such as the compressed gas opening valve, the nozzle selector and the nozzle opening valve, are grouped at one point of the vehicle, for example at the cockpit or at the captain's post.

Avantageusement, on peut soit utiliser la source d'air comprimé du véhicule, avec adjonction éventuelle de réservoirs d'air comprimé, si cela est nécessaire, soit monter sur le moteur du véhicule un compresseur d'air haute pression qui entretient une pression élevée dans le réservoir d'air comprimé du générateur.  Advantageously, one can either use the compressed air source of the vehicle, with the optional addition of compressed air tanks, if necessary, or mount a high pressure air compressor on the vehicle engine which maintains a high pressure in the generator compressed air tank.

Les figures 1 et 2 annexées montrent respectivement des vues en élévation, de face et de côté, d'un char équipé d'un générateur d'écran de camouflage selon l'invention. Figures 1 and 2 annexed respectively show elevation views, front and side, of a tank equipped with a camouflage screen generator according to the invention.

Sur ces figures, on distingue le réservoir 10 à produits dispersables liquides ou pulvérulents, et le réservoir d'air comprimé 12 qui sont placés à l'extérieur du char 14. L'aérosol de camouflage est émis par une pluralité de buses d'émission 16 réparties à la périphérie du char, et reliées au réservoir de produits 10 par des canalisations 18.  In these figures, a distinction is made between the reservoir 10 for liquid or pulverulent dispersible products, and the compressed air reservoir 12 which are placed outside the tank 14. The camouflage aerosol is emitted by a plurality of emission nozzles 16 distributed around the periphery of the tank, and connected to the product reservoir 10 by pipes 18.
