Description

The utility model relates to the field of military affairs, and more specifically to camouflage weapons and military equipment, and can be used in equipping false positions and areas of troop location, to ensure vital activity and simulate the movement of military equipment on false routes and bridge crossings, at constant and temporary base, as well as in points of permanent deployment after the withdrawal of troops.

A device of a mock-up of military equipment is known, an analogue (Textbook "Masking". Part I. Basics and masking technique, authors: Efimov VA, Kolchevsky V.E. and Chermashentsev SG, Publishing House VIA, M ..., 1971, p. 292-295. Total 347 p.), the design of which consists of a frame and shell. In it, the frame can be made of metal, wood, soft fabric materials, as well as from a system of interconnected pipes of rubberized fabric filled with air.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is that such a model does not provide an imitation of real equipment in motion, its rearrangement (carrying) can be carried out only with the use of additional vehicles or with the involvement of personnel in false areas - the purpose of a priority strike of the enemy, which can lead to irretrievable casualties. In addition, the increased capabilities of modern aerospace reconnaissance equipment allows the enemy to open such models that are in a stationary position, such as false targets, practically in the first hours of reconnaissance of the areas where our troops are located. At the same time, the required effectiveness of camouflage measures may not be achieved.

A device is known for a prototype of military equipment of a frameless construction, a prototype (Textbook "Masking". Part I. Basics and masking technique, authors: Efimov VA, Kolchevsky V.E. and Chermashentsev SG, Publishing House VIA, M ..., 1971, p. 296. A total of 347 p.), Which is a thin-walled structure, in which the shell retains the required three-dimensional shape imitated by military equipment, due to its own inherent rigidity due to air filling or the use of durable sheet materials in the design, providing demos uyuschie signs typical of real military equipment in the optical millimeter and centimeter wave bands.

The disadvantages of this technical solution are: the inability to simulate moving objects; lack of mobility, if necessary, to change the background-target situation on false positions and in false areas of troop location; distraction of military equipment from the main tasks for the purpose of transporting the layout.

The objective of the proposed technical solution is to expand the scope of application - from imitation of military equipment in place to its imitation in motion; increasing misinformation of enemy intelligence regarding actual positions and areas of troop location, troop extension and maneuver routes, crossing over obstacles and water barriers; reduction of labor costs when changing the phono-target situation in false areas and in false positions, and thereby increasing the combat effectiveness and survivability of combat units and units.

The solution of the problems posed can be achieved by the fact that the degree of reliability of false positions can be significantly increased by giving active models of military equipment active functions, provided that they can be independently moved within specified limits with imitation of light, thermal, electronic radiation and other unmasking signs characteristic of the work of real military equipment. Such a task can be accomplished provided that a self-propelled prototype of military equipment is developed using a radio-controlled universal self-propelled propulsion unit on a wheeled chassis equipped with a volumetric supporting metal frame with a mounting platform for installing mock-ups and telescopically retractable rods with support wheels, a power unit with a transmission, power systems , cooling, braking and power supply, while for remote control of the propulsion provided: remote electronic control unit control, receiving and transmitting device, microprocessor with executive bodies - electromechanical drives of steering, clutch, ignition and braking mechanisms.

The essence of the proposed technical solution is shown in the drawings made taking into account the use of photomontage of real mock-ups of military equipment: in FIG. 1 - shows a top view of a self-propelled mock-up of a tank in a false position; in FIG. 2 - shows a side view of the layout of the tank in motion; in FIG. 3 and 4 show, respectively, a plan and side view of a radio-controlled self-propelled mover of mock-ups of military equipment; in FIG. 5 is a front view of a self-propelled tank layout along a false route or false bridge crossing; in FIG. 6 - shows the layout of the aircraft moving along the runway of a false airfield.

Self-propelled model of military equipment (Fig. 1-6), consisting of a frame or without a frame with a three-dimensional shell 1 corresponding to the external surface contour and unmasking signs of real military equipment in the optical, millimeter and centimeter wavelength ranges, characterized in that in the shell 1 is fixed to a self-propelled externally driven mover 2 on the wheeled chassis 3 in the form of a single structure, in which the mover 2 is equipped with a volumetric supporting frame 4 of profile metal with a mounting platform 5 and a body by copying retractable rods 6 with support wheels 7, a power unit with transmission 8, power supply, cooling, braking and power supply systems, while for remote control of the propulsion device 2, there are provided: a remote electronic control unit 9, a transmitter / receiver unit 10, a microprocessor 11 with executive bodies - electromechanical drives of the steering mechanisms 12, clutch 13, ignition 14 and braking 15.

The proposed utility model is structurally made of two components — a mock-up of military equipment (Figs. 1, 2, 5, 6) and a self-propelled, remotely controlled wheel propulsion device. In this case, the self-propelled wheel propulsion device 2 (Fig. 3, 4) can be made in a small a workshop equipped with metal-cutting and metalworking tools, as well as welding equipment, by analogy with the manufacture of, for example, unitary buggies using a finished wheeled chassis 3, a power plant with a transmission 8, systems, units, and individual parts, borrowings Oval in small cars. At the same time, the fulfillment of technical conditions, GOST, OST and other requirements for self-propelled technical means is not required, since the utility model moves at a slow speed, usually along prepared dirt roads and within the military formation, to a limited distance equal to approximately 1-3 km. Such conditions make it possible to significantly simplify the design solution and reduce the cost of manufacturing a self-propelled propulsion device 2. To reduce the production time, material and financial costs, it is advisable to use passenger cars of the first-model VAZ models in which the upper part of the body is cut, leaving its bottom unchanged, front and rear panels assembly, transverse panel with control devices, powertrain equipment with transmission 8, chassis with gears left control and braking. Then, a volumetric supporting frame 4 is installed and fixed on the bottom, together with the mounting platform 5 and telescopically extendable rods 6 with support wheels 7. After that, the remote control panel 9, the transmitter-receiver unit 10, the microprocessor 11 with the executive bodies are attached to the mounting platform 5 - electromechanical drives of the steering mechanisms 12, clutch 13, ignition 14 and braking 15.

Self-propelled mock-ups of military equipment (Fig. 1-6) are delivered to false positions in a transport position, in a threatened period, simultaneously with the appointment of combat crews for their protection and maintenance. Models designed to demonstrate the functioning of the troops in a false position are installed on self-propelled radio-controlled propulsors 2 (Fig. 1-6) and are attached to them by fastening devices 16, in the form of tension belts. Self-propelled mock-ups of military equipment are installed in places convenient for their trouble-free movement along the position, along the intended route, at any time of the year or day, at the time indicated by the commander or according to the schedule, at the time of the passage of enemy reconnaissance satellites. Management of a self-propelled mock-up of military equipment is carried out by the calculation of combat protection from cover with visual control over the correct execution of commands, by analogy with the use of various radio-controlled models. To use self-propelled layouts at night or in conditions of poor visibility, lighting and alarm systems, as well as cameras for viewing the terrain 17, in front and behind the wheel mover, are included in the work.

To prepare a self-propelled prototype of military equipment for work, the crew first carries out its maintenance. Checks the level of oil, fuel, coolant and brake fluids, as well as the degree of battery charge and the operation of outdoor lighting and electronic control systems. After that, a trial check of the operability of all mechanisms and nodes during a small test movement in the area. Then a model of military equipment, for example, a tank, is deployed nearby, which, if necessary, is filled with air by means of an electric discharge fan from the power plant of the wheel propulsion. After that, the layout is installed based on the mounting platform 5 of the wheel mover 2 and is reliably connected to it by fastening devices 16 (Fig. 1, 2, 5, 6). Management of a self-propelled prototype of military equipment is carried out using an external electronic remote control 9, which additionally provides for the following operations: the possibility of pumping warm air to maintain the required backwater; lighting the movement of the layout at night with the help of headlights and observation of the road using video cameras 17; the supply of electricity to electronic emitters, communications, etc. The peculiarity of the assembly and operation of a self-propelled model of the aircraft (Fig. 6) lies in its large dimensions and high windage. Therefore, after assembling the model of the aircraft, a wheel mover 2 (Fig. 3, 4) is gradually brought to it, to the front of it, in which the telescopic rods 6 with additional support wheels 7 are advanced and fixed with tie bolts, as well as inside the frame of the supporting volumetric frame 4 stacked several sandbags 18 to increase the stability of the structure during movement. After that, the layout of the aircraft is attached using devices 16 to the wheel mover 2.

Dismantling a self-propelled prototype of military equipment for transportation to a new false area or to a storage warehouse is carried out in the reverse order.

Given the ease of mock-ups of military equipment and their high windage, especially aircraft, such structures at parking lots are secured with anchor brackets that are attached to predefined hinges. In addition, if movement within the position is necessary, weather without strong winds is selected.

The advantage of especially pneumatic-frame models, which has become one of the main reasons for accepting them for supply to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (models: T-72 and T-80 tanks, Su-27 and MiG-31 fighters, individual missile systems, etc.), is the ability to achieve high reliability with an incomparably low cost of manufacture and operation, as well as ease of use. For example, in one KamAZ truck, tank models can be delivered to the required area, sufficient to deploy a false tank battalion in a short time. It is also known that during the fighting in Iraq in 1991 and in Yugoslavia in 1999, tens of thousands of mock-ups of military equipment were installed, a significant part of which were mistaken for actual targets and launched by the bombing attacks of NATO coalition air forces . Provided that individual mock-ups are given activity, including at night, even with the modern increased capabilities of aerospace reconnaissance, this will lead to a significant increase in the "reliability" of intelligence obtained and will increase the likelihood of misinformation of the enemy. It should also be borne in mind that modern fighter-assault aircraft and enemy bomber aircraft fly at high speed and deliver fire strikes from a long distance, which, with a constant threat of being shot down from the ground or from the air, prevents the pilot, in a short moment, from setting up false or valid in front of him ground target. It should be added that to increase the reliability of false positions, they should be covered by air defense means to prevent the possibility of flying unmanned enemy reconnaissance aircraft. In the absence of means of covering models of military equipment, the enemy can carefully examine the false position and lose all interest in it. In addition, false airfields, as far as possible, should also have mock-ups of attributes of technical equipment providing for aircraft flights, by analogy with real-life field airfields. To increase their reliability, it is advisable to practice the take-off and landing of light aircraft and helicopters on them from the nearest air force. At the same time, individual abandoned airfields can be converted into false ones in a short time and used in peacetime as spare for emergency landing of aircraft.

The willingness to implement the proposed utility model is confirmed by the available drawings and theoretical calculations, as well as the experience in developing similar self-propelled robotic devices. In addition, since the current (2014) year, the Russian Ministry of Defense has been purchasing a significant amount of air-inflated models to supply the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. At the same time, all the main components of a self-propelled propulsion system (a power plant with a transmission and support systems, a running gear and control mechanisms), as well as individual units and parts for manufacturing and testing a working layout, can be borrowed from used cars, especially VAZ models of the first releases .

The advantage of the proposed technical device according to the evaluation criterion “effectiveness of combat use - cost” is about two to three times higher compared to known analogues.
