Description

Anti-tank jumping mine - trap The utility model relates to the field of military affairs, and more specifically to mine-explosive barriers used to delay the advance and impede the maneuver of the enemy, inflicting a sudden defeat on his armored and special equipment from a hidden position in conditions of high information support for military operations troops.

The device is known for the cassette remotely mounted anti-tank (anti-bottom) mines PTM-3 - analogue ("Reference officer of the engineer troops." Second edition updated and corrected. Authors: ES Kalibernov et al., Military Publishing House, M., 2000), consisting of a metal case, explosive charge, magnetic and seismic fuses with an electric igniter and detonator capsule, additional detonators and an electronic control unit with self-destruction mechanisms.

The disadvantages of this device are the passivity when it is used in mine-explosive barriers due to the defeat of military equipment during physical impact directly on the mine or entering the zone of its magnetic action, as well as the relative ease of destruction through exposure to a metal object.

A device for anti-tank anti-aircraft mines TM-83 is known - an analogue (Textbook "Military Engineering Training", Authors: BV Varenyshev et al., Military Publishing House of the USSR Ministry of Defense, M., 1982), consisting of a corps, explosive charge, devices for installation, an additional detonator with a fuse, optical and seismic sensors, a safety-executive mechanism, a control panel, a current source and a packing box.

The disadvantages of this device are its high unmasking properties due to the need for installation with elevation above the ground to aim at the target, which makes it easy to detect with modern reconnaissance means and destroy shelling from small arms, the considerable complexity of the installation on the ground, a narrow scope and non-compliance with the requirements of reference modern warfare.

The objective of the proposed technical device is to increase the effectiveness of combat use in modern combat operations, increase the affected area due to the ability to move mines in the main sector to a distance of 200 m, reduce the density of barrage systems used in combat missions to cover defense lines and protect important military and state facilities.

The solution to this problem is achieved by the fact that in the proposed technical device, consisting of a housing, explosive charge, additional detonator, optical and seismic sensors, a control unit and a current source, the housing is made in the form of a tetrahedral prism to accommodate three cumulative shell-forming charges with powder accelerators and a separate unit for autonomous electronic control, infrared and seismic acoustic sensors with microphones, fuses of a combined type with a igniters and detonators, and a current source, while on top of the prism are mounted on adjustable brackets a jet engine, radar and optical target sensors, which are closed from damage and detection by a screen with stabilizer openers.

The essence of the proposed technical device is illustrated by drawings, which depict: figure 1 shows a cross section of an anti-tank jumping mine-trap; figure 2 shows a longitudinal mine; figure 3 shows a variant of the use of mines to defeat military equipment in the airborne part from close range along a lay trajectory; figure 4 shows a variant of the defeat of military equipment from the upper hemisphere, from a long distance along a hinged path; figure 5 shows the options for the sequential destruction of mine-traps of enemy military equipment.

An anti-tank jumping mine trap (Figs. 1-5), consisting of a housing 1, an explosive charge 2, an additional detonator, an optical 3 and seismic sensors, a control unit 4 and a current source 5, in which the housing is made in the form of a tetrahedral prism 6 for placement of three cumulative projectile-forming charges 7 with powder accelerators 8 and a separate unit 9 for autonomous electronic control 4, infrared 10 and seismic-acoustic sensors 11 with microphones 12, fuses of a combined type with capsules, ignite fuses and detonators 13, and a current source 5, while on top of the prism 7 mounted on the adjustable arms 14, a mid-flight jet engine 15, radar 16 and optical 3 target sensors are closed from damage and detection by the screen 17 with stabilizer openings 18.

The proposed mine is transported in a discharged condition with safety measures by any means of transport, at any distance. Mines are transported by one person using a handle 19 attached to the top of the screen 17. Handle 19 can be used as a socket wrench for attaching and adjusting aiming devices and delivery vehicles. In some cases, the handle 19 can be used as a rod to raise its front part if necessary, increase the angle of elevation of the mine to 45 degrees (figure 2).

To deliver the mine directly to the object, the prism 7 is mounted on the adjustable brackets 14 using bolted joints, the marching jet engine 15. The mounting brackets 14 of the jet engine 15 allow it to be installed manually in a horizontal position and with an elevation of up to 35 degrees depending on the terrain and tasks. On the sides of the jet engine 15, with the help of clamps and bolted connections, radar 16 and optical 3 target sensors are attached to the adjustable brackets 14, which can be manually installed in a horizontal position and with elevation or declination of up to 20 degrees. To achieve the same windage, the outer diameter and the distance from the engine 15 of the target sensors should be the same. On top of the mine for protection from damage and adverse weather conditions, as well as hiding from detection by the enemy, a screen 17 with openings 18 made of carbon-containing composite material is provided. The screen 17 can be disconnected from the mine’s hull when used as an anti-aircraft weapon. When a mine is used as an anti-roofing weapon to defeat military equipment from the upper hemisphere at a considerable distance, a screen 17 with openings 18 is used to stabilize the mine’s flight along the hinged path after the marching jet engine 15 is completed to scan the area with all available sensors, “capture” targets and turn on powder accelerators 8 shell-forming charges 7 (figure 4).

To increase combat effectiveness and survivability, the proposed mine is usually used in a disguised position for flanking defeating moving targets (Figs. 3-5), remaining almost completely hidden from detection during frontal viewing and shelling of the terrain behind the embankment, in the folds of the terrain, trees and other protruding objects. The concealment of mines from modern radar and optical means of reconnaissance of the enemy from the upper hemisphere is achieved through the use of a screen 17 with 18 postcards made of material like stele. An important distinguishing feature of the mine from its counterparts is the ability to move it over considerable distances, up to 200 m from the disguised position for the sudden defeat of the enemy (Figs. 4, 5), which significantly increases the effectiveness of combat use. Such a mine carries an unpredictable threat from any direction and at any moment of time, creates difficulties in detecting and destroying it, and helps to suppress the moral and psychological state of the enemy.

In order to simplify the construction of the mine, increase reliability and reduce cost, it was performed without the inclusion of complex mechanisms and electric aiming devices and means of delivery of explosives to the target. The mine is set on the ground, in the main direction, where a zone is planned in advance or a sector is selected at a distance of up to 200 m with the most likely appearance of an enemy in them (Fig. 5). To simplify the use of mines and reduce the time for its installation, it is collected in advance and used as an anti-sideboard weapon. In cases where it is necessary to use it to defeat military equipment over long distances, from the upper hemisphere, and in areas with difficult terrain, the position of the main jet engine and target sensors is amended in accordance with the requirements of the instruction for combat use, maintenance and storage .

Mine in combat use after installation on the ground is manually transferred to the standby (standby) position. In this case, the following are included: current source 5, seismic-acoustic 11 and infrared 10 stand-by sensors, electronic autonomous control system 4. These stand-by sensors, installed with a slight lead in relation to radar 16 and optical 17 sensors of the target, ensure, when an adversary appears, the registration of the corresponding physical fields from it military equipment or manpower. The autonomous control system processes the physical fields, determines the type of target, the range of its passage and the necessary launch time. Immediately before start-up, radar 16 and optical 17 sensors are activated, which provide a “capture” of the target selected for destruction. With a slight removal of the mine from the target (about 5-30 m), the projectile-forming charges are triggered immediately after the target is "captured" by a system of non-contact sensors (attack from the side, Figs. 3-5, pos. No. 1). In the case of a greater removal of the target (of the order of 50-100 m, FIGS. 4, 5, pos. No. 2), for a more accurate and faster delivery of the warhead for attack from the side, a marching jet engine 15 is used, almost simultaneously with the powder accelerators of 8 separate cumulative charges 7, in which the projectile-forming shock nuclei are triggered, before entering the active defense zone of military equipment. In the case of a more significant removal of the mine from the target (of the order of 100-200 m, FIGS. 4, 5, pos. No. 3), for the delivery of the warhead to the specified attack area of the enemy’s military equipment from the upper hemisphere, a marching jet engine 15 is first used (plot “A "). Then, when reaching the target along a hinged trajectory, with the help of flight-stabilizer 18 planning (section “B”), and “capture” by its sensor system, the powder accelerators 8 (section “C”) sequentially trigger individual charges 7 and their shell-forming shock cores (section "G"), proactive inclusion of active protection of armored vehicles. In this case, a tandem defeat of the enemy’s military equipment with the indicated charges is achieved due to the difference in their speed and start time. At a small distance from the target, cumulative charges and the destruction of military equipment by a single projectile-forming strike nucleus without the inclusion of powder accelerators can be simultaneously triggered. To defeat priority targets (tank, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers) with high probability up to three combat traps can be aimed at one combat unit (Fig. 4, pos. No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3) from different angles and at different distances from taking into account the possibility of consistent shelling in the designated areas until complete destruction.

The mine can be activated according to the adopted automated time program, designed, as a rule, for two to three days with a maximum period of combat use from one week to one month. In this case, after a specified period, such mines in a certain sequence laid down in the electronic control unit can self-destruct. Mines can also be destroyed using robots or robotic devices and shot from a machine gun with armored vehicles, from a safe angle.

The readiness of the proposed technical device for experimental verification is confirmed by the presence of drawings, materials, parts, as well as electronic equipment, guidance and aiming devices of domestic production, suitable for use in the development of a working model of an anti-tank jumping mine-trap.

The advantages of the proposed device mines in comparison with well-known technical solutions are:

- high combat effectiveness;

- simplicity and reliability of the design due to the lack of complex mechanisms and electric drives;

- relatively low cost;

- a decrease of about 3-5 times the density (flow) of min when installed on the ground due to the possibility of defeating military equipment at a distance of up to 200 m;

- the use of mines to strengthen traditional mine-explosive barriers;

- the possibility of long-term safe stay in standby mode, in a disguised position;

- rendering a moral and psychological impact on the enemy due to the possibility of sudden use from any direction, at any time;

- providing the possibility of application on rough terrain and in difficult climatic conditions.

Theoretical studies and calculations carried out in the process of developing the design of the proposed mine-trap have confirmed that according to the main technical characteristics, as well as by the criterion of evaluation "combat use effectiveness - cost", the proposed device has indicators that are about 2-3 times higher compared to known analogues .
