Description

The utility model refers to optical reconnaissance means and can be used to perform artillery reconnaissance missions and service artillery fire at ranges of 15-20 km or more. Its application allows to conduct reconnaissance, observation and maintenance of artillery fire in real time covertly, without revealing signs, using an optical channel, incl. night for a long time, without putting the personnel of a mobile reconnaissance point or command vehicle at risk of enemy opposition.

Known taken as a prototype mobile reconnaissance points (PRP) of artillery battalions and command control vehicles (CMU). The optical and optoelectronic reconnaissance equipment on these vehicles, as a rule, allows observation, reconnaissance and maintenance of artillery firing from the vehicle, using the protective properties of the terrain to camouflage and reduce visibility, or conduct reconnaissance and maintenance of artillery firing from remote ground points that are located on hills or in places that allow reconnaissance and observation of the enemy. As a rule, the depth of such reconnaissance is within 5-7 kilometers, and in closed terrain conditions even less (1.5-3.5 km). At the same time, crews (crews) of vehicles conducting reconnaissance and servicing of artillery firing directly from vehicles (from remote points) run the risk of being detected by the enemy and falling under his opposition.

Also, as practice has shown, in cases where the terrain allows reconnaissance and observation to a depth of more than 10-15 km, and even more so over 20 km, conducting optical reconnaissance and servicing artillery firing using the standard instrumentation of vehicles is fraught with difficulties and often practically impracticable. In such cases, other types of reconnaissance are used to conduct surveillance, reconnaissance and service of artillery firing at long ranges, using appropriate forces and means. The main ones include:

a) radar reconnaissance, using radar stations (radar), to detect and service fire on:

- enemy columns at ranges up to 24 km, depending on the type of columns, but in conditions of direct radar visibility;

- firing guns (batteries) of the enemy at ranges - up to 10 km against enemy artillery; up to 15 km to destroy enemy mortars.

b) aerial reconnaissance, using UAVs of various types, helicopters and aircraft to detect all typical targets.

In this case, the range of reconnaissance and servicing of artillery fire will be determined by the characteristics of the reconnaissance systems (means) involved.

A significant disadvantage of conducting reconnaissance with the above means at ranges exceeding the capabilities of standard optical and optical-electronic means of standard reconnaissance vehicles and commanders in the battalion-brigade (battery-division) link is the need to request from the senior chief of forces and assets to carry out reconnaissance (additional reconnaissance) of the required district with the necessary outfit of forces and means. Also, the disadvantages include:

- a sufficiently long period of time between the request for reconnaissance and the release of the reconnaissance means;

- dependence on the available (allocated) resource of the requested reconnaissance forces and means;

- the frequency of reconnaissance (due to the technical characteristics of the means and the time of their preparation for use);

- unmasking signs of working forces and means of reconnaissance such as radiation and noise of working engines.

Thus, the existing possibilities for conducting reconnaissance with the help of standard optical-electronic means at a distance of up to 15-20 km and higher in real time are significantly limited.

The technical result of the proposed solution is to increase the capabilities of reconnaissance vehicles and command vehicles for reconnaissance, observation and maintenance (correction, zeroing, etc.) of artillery fire at a distance of 15-20 km or more in real time using an optical channel (incl. h. possibly night).

Achievement of the technical result of the utility model is carried out through the use of: high-resolution video cameras (VVR); retractable mast (2-6 m) with pegs, guy wires and fasteners for installation directly on the machine; fasteners for installation of VVR and cables on the mast; set of cables for VVR; an automated workstation (AWP) with a personal computer (PC) and specialized software (SPO) installed on a PC for working with VVR; uninterruptible power supplies for VVR and AWP (PC). The proposed model is shown in general form in Fig. 1. Application of the model makes it possible to create an observation post (post), hidden from enemy observation, which does not reveal its activities in any way and has the ability to conduct reconnaissance, observation and servicing of firing at ranges of up to 15-20 km or more in real time and for a long period. The capabilities of such a point (post) exceed the capabilities of posts created using the standard equipment of the PRP and CMU.

The capabilities of modern high-resolution video cameras allow for almost unlimited time to conduct reconnaissance and observation of the enemy's territory, recognize and identify armed and unarmed at ranges of up to 12-15 km (or more), depending on the characteristics of the video camera, and automobile and military equipment at ranges of up to 15 20 km, in some conditions or more.

Raising the video camera 1 on the mast 2 makes it possible to exclude some possible obstacles on the terrain (relief, vegetation, buildings) and to ensure the possibility of reconnaissance, observation and servicing of artillery firing, without unmasking the activity of the reconnaissance (command) vehicle, point (post), having minimal conspicuousness. A set of cables 3 provides power to the VVR and the transmission of a signal from it to the AWP (PC) 4, which is located at a remote observation (command and observation) point (operator's reconnaissance post), in a safe place (shelter). Reconnaissance (command) vehicle 4 is a delivery vehicle for the set and a point with an AWP (PC) 5. Mobile AWP (PC) 5 allows, using the VVR 1 software, to conduct reconnaissance, observation, firing maintenance and recording all observed events in real time, zoom in on objects, recognize, etc. on the monitor screen. The ability to observe crossroads and meeting points of columns in open and mountainous terrain allows, without additional dispatch of reconnaissance forces and means, to recognize columns, objects and targets, including highly maneuverable ones, and to hit them, adjust fire and monitor the implementation of firing missions.

The set of reconnaissance, observation and artillery fire correction (KRNiKOA) is applied as follows.

The subdivision (crew) travels on a reconnaissance (command) vehicle 4 to the terrain to complete the assigned tasks (the indicated deployment point) and install this kit. A high-resolution video camera 1 (together with a rotary mechanism) is attached to the mast 2, a set of power and image transmission cables are connected to the camera and to the workstation (PC) 3. Covertly (possibly in the dark) it is installed (the mast is raised) with fixed VVR and a set the connected cables (colored in a khaki according to the terrain). Cables are pulled (laid) to the hidden location of the observation post and masked (if necessary, they are buried). The AWP (PC) 5 and the battery installed on the reconnaissance vehicle 4 or portable are connected.

With the help of AWP (PC) and the installed software (software) VVR, the video camera is controlled, both in range and direction, and in the increase of the objects (targets) under consideration. Well-distinguishable local objects, such as crossroads, bridges, exits and entrances from settlements, uncovered objects and enemy targets (if possible in advance) are recorded in the observation log and the coordinates with the maximum accuracy. The capabilities of the VVR installed on the mast allow, using an advantageous height, to monitor the terrain and the enemy within the line of sight of the given terrain and record the results of reconnaissance and observation by increasing the image at a distance of up to 15-20 km. The high resolution of the camcorder allows you to:

to reveal actions, objects and targets of the enemy at a great distance;

identify objects and targets, including highly maneuverable ones;

to carry out in some cases round-the-clock reconnaissance support of artillery firing;

detect objects and targets for destruction and serve artillery firing at ranges of 15-20 km or more;

to record and save all results of reconnaissance, observation and maintenance of artillery fire.

Upon completion of the work, the kit is folded in the reverse order and placed (attached) in the machine.
