Description

HYDROACOUSTIC SUBMARINE COMPLEX

The utility model relates to the field of hydroacoustics and can be used as sonar weapons for military submarines, as well as in studies of the oceans.

Hydroacoustic complexes (SAC) are the basis of the information system of submarines (submarines); Using the SAS, the complex task of observing the underwater situation is solved, including the detection, determination of coordinates and elements of movement, and the classification of various targets. Currently, a typical structure of the submarine hull has been formed, including the following subsystems [1-6]:

- a noise-detecting subsystem that solves the problem of detecting noisy objects of various types using onboard and towed antennas, while the noise-detecting subsystem is divided into two subsystems: a mid-range noise-sensing subsystem (WL subsystem), which contains the main nose antenna, and a noise-detecting subsystem (low-frequency range) SHPC), containing a flexible extended towed antenna (GPBA);

- sonar subsystem (GL), operating in the active mode of detection of underwater targets;

- subsystem for the detection of sonar signals (OGS), designed to detect working in different ranges of sonars;

- subsystem of sound communication (CB);

- mine detection subsystem (MI), simultaneously performing the functions of detecting obstacles near the submarine;

- classification subsystem (CL).

The functioning of the subsystems of the submarine hull is provided by the systems, which include:

- central computing system (CVS);

- a system for displaying, registering, documenting and managing (SORDiU);

- automated system for technical diagnostics (ASTD);

- system of hydroacoustic calculations (SGR);

- the path of acoustic noise and noise control;

- power supply system.

The closest in functional and technical characteristics to the proposed utility model of the submarine hull is the “Hydroacoustic complex of submarines” according to the Utility Model Patent [7], which is adopted as a prototype. The prototype device contains the subsystems ШП, ШПНЧ, ГЛ, ОГС, СВ, МИ, КЛ, the path of acoustic control of noise and noise, as well as the ASTD, CVS, SGR, SORDiU, secondary power supply systems.

HAC subsystems (except for the CL subsystem) contain acoustic antennas, active subsystems contain emitting (or receiving-emitting) antennas and generator devices (GU), passive subsystems contain receiving antennas and information pre-processing equipment (APO) [6, 9].

All APO and GU devices of the prototype through a common bus are connected to the DAC, and the DAC is connected to SORDiU containing remotes with connected peripheral devices.

The prototype device can monitor the underwater environment, including target detection, solving coordinate problems, target classification.

At the same time, the SAC prototype does not provide the possibility of using a submarine carrier when swimming in ice conditions, including navigation to solve various problems, as well as swimming safety [6]. This is a significant drawback that does not allow swimming under ice.

The main objective of the proposed utility model is to expand the functionality of the SAC.

The technical results of using the utility model are:

- the ability to detect streaks in the ice cover, which is necessary for safe ascent;

- the ability to determine from under the water the thickness of the ice cover and the relief of the lower edge of the ice, the absolute speed of the submarine relative to the ice cover, which is necessary for the use of weapons, as well as to prevent collisions with ice growths.

To solve the tasks in the sonar complex of a submarine, consisting of noise detection subsystems in the mid-frequency range (SH), sonar (GL), detection of sonar signals (GHS), low-frequency noise detecting (SHPN), sonar communication (NE), mine detection (MI), classification, automated system for technical diagnostics (ASTD), acoustic noise and noise control path, display, registration, documentation and control system (SORDiU), sonar systems, electric Tanya and central computer system (DDS) with peripheral computing devices,

wherein the pre-processing equipment of the subsystems ШП, ОГС, ШПНЧ and the generating devices of the subsystems ГЛ and СВ via a common bus are connected to the central control center, and the central control center is connected to the SORDiU made of console devices, each of which contains a monitor and a computing device configured to connect peripheral devices

new features introduced, namely

additionally introduced the subsystem of the review of the ice situation (OLO) consisting of paths of the side view (BO), the circular view (KO), the multi-beam echo sounder on the ice surface (MBE), the echo level meter and the autonomous path for measuring the speed of the submarine relative to the ice surface,

wherein the BO path contains the first and second identical receiving-emitting antennas located on both sides of the submarine on the retractable devices; the KO path contains a third receiving-emitting antenna with electromechanical rotation, the MBE path contains the first emitting and first receiving antennas located in the aft part of the deck, the echo flow meter path contains a second emitting and second receiving antennas designed to operate in parametric mode and located in the bow of the deck as well as the fourth, fifth and sixth receiving-emitting antennas located in the bow and stern of the deck and in the fencing, moreover, the antennas of the BO, KO and MBE paths are connected to a common the paths of the first receiving-amplifying equipment, the antennas of the echo-metering channel are connected to the second receiving-amplifying equipment, the first and second receiving-amplifying equipment are connected to the PLL through the interface exchange switch, and the autonomous path for measuring the speed of the submarine relative to the ice surface contains a seventh receiving-radiating antenna in the bow of the deck and connected to the control equipment, the formation, processing and display of signals.

To ensure uninterrupted operation of all subsystems of the SAS, including the subsystem of ice conditions, a subsystem of technological adjustment and state monitoring has been introduced, which contains a master compensator and is implemented using means of the central control center and SordiU.

The essence of the claimed utility model is illustrated in FIG. 1 generalized functional diagram.

The central system of the claimed utility model - the hydroacoustic complex of a submarine - is DAC 1, to which control signals are transmitted from the remote control devices 2, and signals of various types from the DAC through common buses 3 are transmitted (or received) to all subsystems and HAC systems. The information processed in the subsystems of the complex via buses 3 and DAC 1 is transmitted to the remote control 2 or to external systems (Fig. 1).

The subsystems ШП 4, ОГС 5, ШПНЧ 6, ГЛ 7, MI 8, СВ 9 are connected via a common bus 3 to the DAC 1.

The equipment for the subsystem for the review of ice conditions contains the paths of side and circular visibility (BO and KO), a multi-beam echo sounder (MBE), an echo-meter, and also autonomous equipment for the subsystem for measuring the speed of submarines relative to the ice surface. The side view path includes the first and second receiving and emitting antennas 10, 11 (PIA1, PIA2); the circular viewing path contains a third receiving-emitting antenna 12 (PIA3) with electromechanical rotation (the rotation drive is not shown in Fig. 1); the multi-beam echo sounder contains a first radiating antenna 13 (IA1) and a first receiving antenna 14 (PA2), the antennas of the paths BO, KO and MBE connected to the first receiving-amplifying apparatus 15 (PUA1). The echo-meter section contains a second emitting antenna 16 (IA2) and a second receiving antenna 17 (PA2) designed to operate in parametric radiation mode, as well as a fourth, fifth, and sixth receiving-emitting antenna 18, 19, 20 (PIA4, PIA5, PIA6 ) made identical, moreover, the antennas 16-20 are connected to the second receiving-amplifying apparatus 21 (ПУА2). The autonomous path for measuring the speed of the submarine relative to the ice surface contains a seventh receiving and emitting apparatus 22 (PIA7) connected to the control equipment, the formation and display of signals 23 (AUV).

In FIG. 1 does not show the equipment of the power supply system, which is powered by the ship network and generates voltages for powering the HAC equipment, as well as the equipment of the acoustic noise and noise control path, which includes separate acoustic receivers located in the receiving antennas, and the preprocessing device, the data from which through bus 3 and DAC 1 enter the console 2.

Constructive and other characteristics of the individual nodes and elements that make up the HAC are known from the literature. A description of the structure of the HAC and individual subsystems and systems is presented in [6].

Antennas 10-14, 16-20, 22 are designed to convert acoustic signals into electrical (receiving antennas), electrical signals into acoustic (radiating antennas) or are reversible (receiving-radiating). Information on the designs and types of antennas is presented in [8, 9].

In the receiving-amplifying apparatus 15, 21 in the radiation mode, signals of the necessary power are generated, the structure of which is determined by the DAC 1. In the receiving mode in the equipment 15, 21, preliminary processing is performed — amplification and filtering. Methods for constructing receiving-amplifying equipment are described, in particular, in [6, 10].

The control equipment, the generation and display of signals 23 of the autonomous subsystem for measuring the speed of submarines relative to the ice surface contains emitting and receiving paths, as well as a control minicomputer with a display.

The main functions of the central computing system 1 and the display, registration, documentation and control system implemented in the remote control devices 2 are described in the book [6], as well as in the description of the prototype device [7]. CVS and SORDiU are systems that implement their functions in all paths and systems of the HAC. These systems work with data in digital form. The content of their work consists of control algorithms, the formation and processing of information, implemented by software. CVC is a multi-machine complex, consisting of processors of various types. Structurally, each console device has a panel station consisting of two displays (in one construct) [6, 7], controls (keyboard, trackball, etc.), sockets and ports for connecting peripheral devices (microphone, telephones, printer, external memory etc.).

The classification subsystem, hydroacoustic calculation systems and the automated system of technical diagnostics are software-oriented and are implemented by means of the digital computer system and SordiU.

The operation of the HAC is controlled by the operators, who are located behind the instrument panels 2. After the power is turned on, the software for initial start-up is loaded and the HAC technical diagnostics is automatically performed using the ASTD. The mimic diagram of the ASTD fixes the state of the turned on equipment for the time necessary for the operator to evaluate the possibility of work or the need for repair or other actions in case of a malfunction.

By default, the main mode of operation of the submarine hull is the receiving one, therefore the subsystems ШП, ШПНЧ (if GPBA is issued), OGS, and SV (reception) are operatively switched on. At the same time, the CL subsystem works with the received data.

The active subsystems of the HAC - the subsystems of the GL, MI, as well as the active modes of the subsystem of the SW are included in the radiation only by command. The paths of the subsystem OLO are included when swimming under the ice. Work associated with sonar calculations (SGR), monitoring the current state is carried out periodically or according to a special schedule.

When you start working on both screens of each remote control, by default, an initial frame appears with a alphanumeric display of initial information, including the Menu of subsystems and systems. The source of information for the operator is the information on the screens, as well as the information received via the head phones (the listening path is entered into all passive and active subsystems of the HAC related to target detection). Operator actions are the same as computer operator actions: analysis of alphanumeric, tabular and graphic information that appears on the screen, changing parameters (if provided), calling up new information, sending information to external systems, etc. At the same time, the controls available in the remote control are used.

The introduction of new essential features into the SAC provides the claimed technical effect associated with the expansion of the capabilities of the SAC and an increase in the efficiency of its functioning. In particular:

- Efficiency and safety of submarine navigation under ice is ensured - a subsystem for reviewing the ice situation has been introduced;

- the introduction of the technological mode of adjustment and control enables operational personnel to monitor the current characteristics of the HAC.

The claimed utility model of a sonar complex of a submarine expands the technical capabilities of observing the underwater situation and can be used as the main information system for various types of submarines.
