Description

  The present invention relates to a guidance device for separating and identifying a plurality of targets by a radar device and guiding a flying object toward the target.

  A conventional radar device separates cluster targets from a plurality of adjacent cluster targets based on the target position track and Doppler information (relative velocity information) from the observed values of the target by the radar device. It is possible to track (see, for example, Patent Document 1). After the flying object is launched from the launcher toward the target tracked by the radar apparatus, a guidance device mounted on the flying object guides the flying object to the target. However, when a plurality of close targets are traveling at the same speed, it is difficult for the radar apparatus to separate the targets using Doppler information.

  Also, a radar apparatus that transmits a transmission signal using a plurality of pulse repetition periods (PRI) and receives a reflected wave from the target and obtains a distance to the target (hereinafter referred to as a target distance) with high resolution. There is. In this type of radar apparatus, for example, for a combination of two transmission pulse PRIs capable of suppressing clutter, a PRI having the highest value of the greatest common divisor is selected and used as a transmission pulse, thereby selecting a target distance. It is difficult for the two PRIs to correlate at other timings, and signal processing for target detection can be performed without a large error error (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

JP 2004-12351 (FIG. 2) JP-A-8-160121 (FIG. 1)

  The conventional flying object uses the target Doppler information within the antenna beam range of its own radar device and the transmission pulse having the plurality of PRIs to calculate the relative speed and relative distance to the target and calculate the target. Is captured and tracked. However, when it is difficult to separate cluster targets in a radar device mounted on a launcher, there are multiple targets that are smaller than the distance resolution of the flying radar device and have the same target Doppler information. When a flying object is launched from the launcher toward the target, calculation of the distance to each target becomes difficult even if the radar apparatus of the flying object performs the signal processing shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, respectively.

  Furthermore, even in the situation where the cluster target cannot be separated by the radar device of the launcher, even if a plurality of projectiles are launched toward a plurality of targets, each projectile always guides each target in a one-to-one correspondence. For example, an event in which all the flying objects are guided to the same target may occur.

  The present invention is for solving such a problem, and in a situation where a plurality of targets close to each other cannot be separated on the launcher side, a plurality of projectiles are launched from the launcher, and each projectile is in flight. The object is to separate each target with its own radar device so that each flying object can track each target.

  A radar device according to the present invention is a guidance device mounted on a flying object emitted from a launcher, and includes an inertial device, an antenna, an excitation device that generates a radio wave, and a radio wave generated by the excitation device. A transmission device for transmitting to a target via, a reception device for receiving a reflected wave received from the target via the antenna, a target information detected by the radar of the launcher, and a command for receiving the position information of the launcher The target is detected from the transmission / reception device and the reception signal of the reception device, and based on the position, velocity, attitude angle information of the flying object output from the inertia device, and the position information of the launcher received by the command transmission / reception device A signal processing device that calculates a relative distance and a relative speed with respect to the target and generates a steering command signal, and the signal processing device is capable of dealing with a plurality of targets at the same speed and in the same angular range. It fired Te, in which the process of separating the target by the relative velocity between each target is changed to the process of separating the target by the relative distance between the respective target and tracking.

  According to the present invention, a plurality of projectiles launched to a plurality of adjacent targets can track their own targets and guide them toward each target.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
Embodiment 1 according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a flying object guiding apparatus 100 according to Embodiment 1 and a flying object 1 equipped with the guiding apparatus. In FIG. 1, the flying object 1 is launched from a launcher 14. In FIG. 1, a flying object is shown as an example of the launcher 14, and a flying object is shown as an example of the target 15. The launcher 14 has a radar device (not shown) and can detect the target 15. Further, the launcher 14 has a command transmission / reception device, and performs communication with the flying object 1. After flying from the launcher 14, the flying object 1 is guided toward the target 15 by the guidance device 100.

  The flying object 1 includes an antenna 2, a transmission device 3, a reception device 4, an excitation device 5, a signal processing device 6, an inertia device 7, a power supply device 8, a fuse 9, a warhead 10, a steering device 11, a propulsion device 12, and a command transmission / reception device. 13. The antenna 2, the transmission device 3, the reception device 4, the excitation device 5, the signal processing device 6, and the command transmission / reception device 13 constitute a guidance device 100. The guiding device 100 functions as a radar device and controls the behavior of the flying object 1 so as to guide the flying object 1 toward the target 15. The signal processing device 6 includes control software that controls the behavior of the flying object 1 and guides the flying object 1 toward the target. The signal processing device 6 is equipped with signal processing software for performing radar signal processing. The inertial device 7 measures the position, posture, and speed of the flying object 1. The power supply device 8 includes a battery and a direct current transformer, and supplies necessary power to each component of the flying object 1 after the flying object 1 is launched from the launcher 14.

  The launcher 14 captures the target 15 with the radar device and tracks the captured target. The flying object 1 is launched to the target 15 captured by the radar device of the launcher 14 and continues to fly based on the propulsive force generated by the propulsion device 12. The flying object 1 receives the information of the target 15 from the launcher 14 by the command transmission / reception device 13 during the flight, and sends the received information to the signal processing device 6.

  The signal processing device 6 of the induction device 100 can switch the pulse repetition period (PRI) of the transmission pulse generated by the excitation device 5, the pulse width, and the number of pulses output per unit time. The transmission pulse generated by the excitation device 5 is amplified by the transmission device 3, modulated into a carrier wave, and a radio wave is transmitted from the antenna 2 to the target 15. The radio wave transmitted from the antenna 2 is reflected by the target 15, the reflected wave is received again by the antenna 2, a received pulse digital signal is obtained by detection of the receiving device 4, and is input to the signal processing device 6. A part of the transmission pulse generated by the excitation device 5 is converted into a digital signal and input to the signal processing device 6. The signal processing device 6 measures the Doppler information of the target 15 and the distance and angle to the target 15 based on the transmission pulse and the reception pulse of the digital signal, and the position, posture, speed and acceleration of the self measured by the inertial device 7. Incorporating speed information, the position, speed, and distance of the target 15 are calculated, and the clutter signal is detected and removed.

  The signal processing device 6 calculates a movement direction necessary for guiding the target 15 to the target 15 based on the position, speed, and distance of the target 15 and the position, speed, and posture of the target 15. The signal processing device 6 issues a steering command to the steering device 11 based on the obtained movement direction. The steering device 11 receives the steering command from the signal processing device 6 and turns the steering blade mounted on the side surface of the flying object 1.

  As a result, the flying object 1 is guided in the direction of the target 15, and the fuze 9 is activated when the relative distance to the target 15 becomes short. The fusible tube 9 emits radio waves in the target direction, receives a reflected wave from the target 15 and detects the target 15, and then the fusible tube 9 transmits an initiation command to the warhead 10. The warhead 10 that has received the initiation command initiates an explosion and damages the target 15, or changes the behavior of the target 15, and drops it if the target 15 is a flying object. When the flying object 1 hits the target 15 directly, the fusible tube 9 detects the impact, and also sends an initiation command to the warhead 10 to cause the warhead 10 to explode and damage the target 15 or change the behavior of the target 15. If the target 15 is a flying object, it is dropped.

  FIG. 2 shows a state in which the radar device of the launcher 21 cannot separate the target 22 and the second target 23 that are approaching the launcher 21 at the same speed. The example at the time of projecting the flying body 24 from the launcher 21 is shown. The flying object 24 uses the guidance device 100 that is the radar device of the launcher 21 or the radar device of the flying object 24 to grasp the target direction of the target 22 or the target 23, and the target direction of either the target 22 or the target 23. Fly towards.

  First, the signal processing device 6 of the guidance device 100 shortens the pulse repetition period (PRI), and detects the target by the HPRF (High Pulse Repetition Frequency) method that captures and tracks the target around the relative speed with the target. I do. Since the target 22 and the target 23 in the radar coverage 25 are close to each other, the flying object 24 cannot be separated by the angle and the speed, and recognizes the same target at the angle and the speed.

  In addition, the guiding device 100 performs high-resolution distance measurement by increasing the PRI, narrowing the pulse width, or outputting a plurality of pulses in a short time, and synthesizing the output pulses to widen the band. Then, it is changed to an LPRF (Low Pulse Repetition Frequency) system that captures and tracks the target around the relative distance from the target. The change from the HPRF method to the LPRF method is performed when a certain threshold value described later is reached, or by an external trigger signal.

Here, the signal processing from the launch of the flying object to the search and the distance measurement performed by switching between the HPRF method and the LPRF method by the signal processing device 6 will be further described. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a signal processing flow from launching a flying object to searching and ranging when the HPRF method and the LPRF method are used in combination. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a signal processing flow from launching a flying object to searching and ranging by the HPRF method. In FIG. 3, in step S2, the true relative distance R to the target R = the relative distance R ₀ to the target at the time of launching the projectile, the relative speed V _c to the true target = the relative distance to the target at the time of launching the projectile Set to V ₀ and select the HPRF method. Next, signal processing by the HPRF method in step S3 shown in FIG. 4 is performed.

In FIG. 4, when the relative distance R to the target is equal to or less than R ₁ (search start distance) in step S23, search is started in step S24.

Next, the relative speed (relative speed V _TM1 with respect to the target 22 and relative speed V _TM2 with respect to the target 23) with a plurality of targets of the same speed (in this case, two targets) and the signal processing device 6 of the guidance device 100 are comparing the relative velocity V _c of the calculated true target performs case analysis in accordance with the result, leading to the processing of the ranging in step S29.

Specifically, the relative speed V _TM1 with the target 22 is compared with the relative speed V _TM2 with the target 23 in step S25, and if they are the same, V _c = V _TM1 or V _c = V _{TM2 in} step S26. To. Also, if the same which was not, if _V c _{-V TM1} is less than _V c _{-V TM2} at step S27, to _V c _{= V TM1} in step S30. If V _c -V _TM1 is larger than V _c -V _{TM2 in} step S28, V _c = V _TM2 is set in step S31.
After the processes of steps S26, S30, and S31, the distance measurement process of step S29 is performed, and the process proceeds to step S4.

In step S4, the same target tracking is performed as the true relative distance R to the target R = the relative distance R _TM1 to the target 22 or R = the relative distance R _TM2 to the target 23, or the distance cannot be measured. Thus, with only the HPRF method, a plurality of targets cannot be separated even at the distance measurement stage, and the same target is tracked or distance measurement fails.

Therefore, the process proceeds to step S5 for switching to the LPRF system.
Step S5 includes the processes of steps S6, S7, S8, and S9.

In step S6, when the true relative distance R to the target becomes the distance R ₂ hereinafter set in advance, it resets the target acquisition and tracking process of the target 22 and target 23, changes the LPRF system tracking method from the HPRF method (Step S7), the process proceeds to Step S8.

In step S8, R _TM1 and R _TM2 are recalculated by searching for a target, separating a plurality of targets by distance, and tracking.

In step S6, switching from the tracking HPRF method to the LPRF method is performed when the noise ratio (S / N) with respect to the signal level of the tracking target or the signal level to clutter ratio (S / C) reaches a certain threshold. It can also be done at the time.
Specifically, when the threshold value X of the preset noise ratio (S / N) is equal to or higher than the ratio of the received power of the reflected wave from the tracking target observed by the guidance device 100 to noise, or set in advance. When the threshold value Y of the signal level to clutter ratio (S / C) is greater than the ratio of the received power of the reflected wave from the tracking target observed by the guidance device 100 to the clutter, the process proceeds to step S7, and the HPRF method is started. Switch to the LPRF system.

  In step S6, switching from the tracking HPRF system to the LPRF system can be performed in response to a command (base machine cmd) from the launcher 14 or another relay machine (not shown). . For example, when the parent machine cmd = LPRF is designated, the mode is switched to the LPRF system.

  In step S6, the switching from the tracking HPRF system to the LPRF system is stopped by a command from the launcher 14 or the relay before launching the flying object 1 from the launcher 14 or after launching from the launcher 14. To be able to.

Next, the processing of steps S9 and S10 will be described using the examples of FIGS. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a case where a plurality of flying objects 34 and 35 are launched from a launcher 14 to a plurality of adjacent targets 32 and 33. In FIG. 5, after the flying bodies 34 and 35 are launched from the launcher 31, the targets 32 and 33 are separated from each other in the horizontal and vertical directions (lateral directions) with respect to their traveling directions. The relative distances from the bodies 34 and 35 to the targets 32 and 33 are different.
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a case where a plurality of flying objects 54 and 55 are fired from a launcher 14 to a plurality of adjacent targets 52 and 53. In FIG. 6, the targets 52 and 53 are located close to the traveling direction after the flying bodies 54 and 55 are launched from the launcher 51 and overlap in the direction perpendicular to the traveling direction (lateral direction). Exist, and the relative distances from the flying objects 54 and 55 to the targets 52 and 53 are different.

In step S9, each of the flying bodies 34 and 35 shown in the example of FIG. 5 has another flying body mounted on the same launching machine 31 (for example, when the flying body 34 is self, The information of the flying object is the flying object 35, and when the self is the flying object 35, the other flying object is the flying object 34). Keep track of the firing numbers shown.
Similarly, each of the flying bodies 54 and 55 shown in the example of FIG. 6 has another flying body mounted on the same launching machine 51 (for example, when the flying body 34 is itself, other flying bodies are installed). The information of the flying object 35 and the other flying object becomes the flying object 34 when the self is the flying object 35) is obtained in advance by communication, and the relationship between the other flying objects and their own firing order is shown. Keep track of the fire numbers.

Next, in the example of FIG. 5, when a plurality of flying objects 34 and 35 are launched from the launcher 31 to a plurality of adjacent targets 32 and 33, the guiding devices 100 of the flying objects 34 and 35 have a plurality of different distances. The targets 32 and 33 are detected, and the relative distance to each of the targets 32 and 33 is calculated by the process of step S8.
The relative distance R _TM1 between the flying object 34 and the target 32 is indicated by reference numeral 38, and the relative distance R _TM2 between the flying object 34 and the target 33 is indicated by reference numeral 39. The relative distance R _TM1 between the flying object 35 and the target 32 is indicated by reference numeral 40, and the relative distance R _TM2 between the flying object 35 and the target 33 is indicated by reference numeral 41.

Similarly, in the example of FIG. 6, when a plurality of flying objects 54, 55 are launched from the launcher 51 to a plurality of adjacent targets 52, 53, the guiding devices 100 of the flying objects 54, 55 have a plurality of different distances. The targets 52 and 53 are detected, and the relative distances between the targets 52 and 53 and the flying objects 54 and 55 are calculated by the processing of step S8.
The relative distance R _TM1 between the flying object 54 and the target 52 is indicated by reference numeral 58, and the relative distance R _TM2 between the flying object 54 and the target 53 is indicated by reference numeral 59. The relative distance R _TM1 between the flying object 55 and the target 52 is indicated by reference numeral 60, and the relative distance R _TM2 between the flying object 55 and the target 53 is indicated by reference numeral 61.

In step S10, in the example of FIG. 5, the guidance device 100 of each flying object 34, 35 performs numbering of its own targets in order from the relative distances R _TM1 , R _TM2 closer to itself among the targets 32, 33. .
Here, the flying object 34 numbers the target 32 as M11 and the target 33 as M12. The flying object 35 numbers the target 33 as M21 and numbers the target 33 as M22.

In the example of FIG. 6, the guidance device 100 of each flying object 54, 55 performs numbering of its own target in order from the relative distances R _TM1 , R _TM2 closer to itself among the targets 52, 53.
Here, the flying object 54 numbers the target 52 as M11 and the target 53 as M12. The flying object 55 numbers the target 53 as M21 and numbers the target 53 as M22.

In addition, the numbers are aligned in the order of relative distances with the firing numbers indicating the order in which they are fired, and the projectile number 1 selects the true relative distance R = R _TM1 from the target, and the firing number. The second flying object selects the true relative distance R = R _TM2 from the target.
For example, in the example of FIG. 5, since the launch number of the flying object 34 is No. 1, the observed relative distance R _TM1 of the flying object 34 with the target 32 having a relatively close relative distance is selected, and the flying object 34 corresponds to the corresponding target. Only track 32. Since the flying number of the flying object 35 is No. 2, the relative distance _RTM2 observed by the flying object 35 with the target 32 having a close relative distance is selected, and the flying object 35 tracks only the corresponding target 33.
In the example of FIG. 6, since the flying number of the flying object 54 is No. 1, the observed relative distance R _TM1 of the flying object 54 with the target 52 having a relatively short relative distance is selected, and the flying object 54 corresponds to the corresponding target. Only 52 is tracked. Further, since the flying number of the flying object 55 is No. 2, the relative distance _RTM2 observed by the flying object 55 with the target 52 having a close relative distance is selected, and the flying object 55 tracks only the corresponding target 53.

  Thus, the signal processing device 6 of the guidance device 100 performs numbering in order from the target at a distance close to itself after grasping the relationship between the other flying objects and the firing order of the self and calculating the relative distance to each target. By selecting the target to be matched by matching the numbers in the order of the targets fired and the order of the targets that are close to each other, the processing software that tracks only the selected targets is provided. Thus, even when a plurality of flying objects are fired, each flying object tracks corresponding to each target, and can deal with each one efficiently one by one.

  In addition, the information on the target separated by each flying object 1 and its own position information are exchanged between the plurality of flying objects 1 by communication, and each flying object 1 tracks a different target. You may make it confirm mutually.

  Further, when communicating target information, own position information, and the like between the flying objects 1, the communication path is directly or using the command transmitting / receiving device 13 mounted on each flying object 1 or the launcher 14. Or you may implement via a relay machine.

  Further, in order to transmit target information, own position information, and the like between the flying objects 1 to other flying objects, the launcher 14 or the relay machine, the command transmission / reception device 13 and the launcher 14 of the flying object 1 Information may be transmitted and received using a command transmission device (not shown).

  Next, a case where a plurality of adjacent targets progress side by side will be described as an example. FIG. 7 is a diagram exemplifying a case where a plurality of adjacent targets advance side by side. In FIG. 7, when a plurality of adjacent targets 72 and 73 proceed side by side, the targets exist at the same speed and the same distance within the angle range. That is, after the flying objects 74 and 75 are launched from the launcher 71, the two targets 72 and 73 travel at the same relative distance in the traveling direction and at positions separated in the direction perpendicular to the traveling direction (lateral direction). The relative distances from the flying bodies 74 and 75 to the targets 72 and 73 are the same. In the example of FIG. 7, the relative distance 78 from the flying object 74 to the target 72 and the relative distance 79 from the flying object 74 to the target 73 are substantially the same, and the relative distance 80 from the flying object 75 to the target 72 is The relative distance 81 from the flying object 75 to the target 73 is substantially the same.

  In such a case, even if the tracking process is changed from the HPRF method to the LPRF method as described with reference to FIG. 3, it becomes difficult to separate the targets based on the relative distances from the targets observed by the flying objects. For this reason, when the launcher 71 and the repeater transmit a scanning command, and the command transmission / reception device 13 receives the scanning command, the signal processing device 6 has the antenna beam directivity angle of the antenna 2 based on the scanning command. Control to shake a certain amount of time. Thereby, based on the received signal obtained via the antenna 2 and the receiving device 4, the target search by the signal processing device 6 is performed, and the target in the antenna beam is separated by the angle.

In the example of FIG. 7, the flying object 74 separates the target 72 and the target 73 by swinging the center direction of the antenna beam 76 of the antenna 2 within the antenna beam directivity angle. Further, the flying object 75 separates the target 72 and the target 73 by swinging the center direction of the antenna beam 77 of the antenna 2 within the antenna beam directivity angle. Then, each target 72 and 73 which the signal processing apparatus 6 of each flying object 74 and 75 isolate | separated is detected, either one target 72 and 73 is each captured and tracking is performed. For example, the relative distance 78 between the target 72 and the flying object 74 with the launch number 1 is R _TM1 observed by the flying object 74, and the relative distance 79 between the target 73 and the flying object 74 is R _TM2 observed with the flying object 74. Further, the relative distance 78 between the target 72 and the flying object 75 of the launch number 2 is _defined as R _TM1 observed by the flying object 75, and the relative distance 79 between the target 73 and the flying object 75 is _defined as R _TM2 observed by the flying object 75.

  At this time, the signal processing device 6 of the guidance device 100 grasps the relationship between the other flying objects and their firing order through communication between the flying objects. After calculating the relationship between the other projectiles and their firing order and the relative distance between each target, the targets are numbered in order from the distance closest to them, and the targets whose relative distance is close to the order in which they were fired. The target to be dealt with is selected by matching the numbers in this order, and only the selected target is tracked. Thereby, even when a plurality of flying objects are fired for a plurality of close targets, each flying object tracks corresponding to each target and efficiently copes with each one-to-one. It becomes possible.

  Therefore, in the guidance device according to the first embodiment, the target calculated by the flying object even when the flying object is dissipated in the pulse repetition period (PRI) and the distance measurement becomes difficult. When the relative distance between the target and the target is less than or equal to the set distance, the target capturing and tracking process is switched from the HPRF method to the LPRF method, and each target is searched for and captured by the distance. Thereby, each flying object can separate a target from a plurality of adjacent targets.

  Moreover, it becomes possible to track a plurality of flying objects in a one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of adjacent targets, and it is possible to efficiently reach the target.

  Further, it is possible to share the flying object information and the target information being tracked between the flying objects or via the launcher 14 or the relay machine, and tracking using the information network is also possible.

  In addition, the launcher 14 cannot separate a plurality of targets before launching the flying object, but if the target can be separated by other radars such as other launchers and repeaters that are far apart, In order to separate targets more accurately, target information of each flying object can be set by a command from an external device such as another launcher or a repeater.

  In addition, when the target can be separated by the radar of the launcher 14 after launching, the target information of the flying object can be set by a command from the launcher 14 in order to separate the target by the flying object. The target can be separated more accurately by the body.

  Note that the timing for capturing and tracking the target from the flying object in the HPRF system is not the relative distance of the target, but a threshold is set for the target S / N (signal-to-noise ratio) and S / C (signal-to-clutter ratio). But you can.

  Further, the timing for capturing and tracking the target from the flying object by the HPRF method may be performed at the stage of receiving a command from an external device such as the launcher 14 or the relay machine, not the relative distance from the target.

  When the target advances side by side with respect to the flying object, the target relative distance, the target S / N (signal to noise ratio), S / C (signal to clutter ratio), or launch There is a possibility that the target cannot be separated only by changing from the HPRF system to the LPRF in response to a command from an external device such as a machine or a relay machine. Therefore, if it is difficult to capture and track the target in this way, swing the antenna at an arbitrary angle, separate the target that exists at a different angle, change the flight path, etc., and switch to the LPRF method. A target may be searched for and captured and tracked using distance information.

  In addition, in order to track a plurality of flying objects in a one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of targets, each flying object recognizes what number it was fired at the time of launching. Recognize the flying object information mounted on the launcher other than the self at the time of launch, recognize that there is no information on the flying object that was fired before the self, and what number the self was fired You may make it judge.

  As described above, the guidance device according to the first embodiment is the guidance device 100 mounted on the flying object 1 launched from the launcher 14, and includes the inertial device 7, the antenna 2, and the excitation device that generates radio waves. 5, a transmitter 3 that transmits the radio wave generated by the excitation device 5 toward the target 15 via the antenna 2, a receiver 4 that receives a reflected wave received from the target via the antenna 2, The command transmission / reception device 13 that receives the target information detected by the radar of the aircraft 14 and the position information of the launcher 14, detects the target from the reception signal of the reception device 4, and outputs the flying object output from the inertia device 7.
