Description

The invention relates to weapons and military equipment, and specifically to means of reconnaissance of the terrain and targets of the enemy, and can be used on samples of weapons and military equipment (military equipment) for various purposes.

Known means of reconnaissance of the terrain and targets of the enemy, installed on the samples of the Armed Forces of the Ground Forces (BTVT) in the form of optical, infrared, thermal imaging, television devices and radar channels [1, 2, 3, 4].

The main disadvantage of these reconnaissance equipment is the low height of the devices above ground (not exceeding 2.5 m), which limits the range of reconnaissance, especially in rugged, hilly and forested areas. This sharply reduces the combat capabilities of individual ground combat, reconnaissance, command and staff and other vehicles and tactical units as a whole, since it does not allow the full use of the capabilities of machine weapons, reconnaissance of the enemy behind the front line, in the depth of defense, and organize warning maneuvers by forces and means of units.

Widely known methods and means of reconnaissance of the enemy with the help of aircraft (aircraft) - aircraft, helicopters, balloons.

The intelligence information received by them is not transmitted directly to each individual combat vehicle in real time, therefore it loses relevance when conducting highly maneuverable military operations. Directly in the tank (motorized rifle) units (company, battalion), such reconnaissance equipment is absent.

Known remotely piloted aircraft (UAV) "Bee-1" in the complex "Stroy-P", designed to monitor the battlefield and conduct reconnaissance in the depths of the enemy’s defense [5] and includes a transport machine with a guide for launching the apparatus, equipment for controlling the device and receiving intelligence, an aircraft with a television system, a power plant in the form of an internal combustion engine, an automated flight control system, and a parachute. The apparatus is launched from the transport vehicle by a powder accelerator.

Intelligence information from the device is transmitted to the crew of the complex via a radio channel to a monitor (television system) and is recorded by it on a working card, after which it can be transmitted to the appropriate governing bodies of units (or units). The duration of the UAV flight is 2 hours, after which it descends by parachute.

The disadvantages of the complex in relation to tactical units such as battalion, company, platoon, as well as to individual vehicles are:

AME samples are engaged in dynamic combat in real time, and the complex does not provide fast processing of reconnaissance information and its transfer directly to each sample;

each combat vehicle or other vehicle requires real-time information about the enemy and the terrain in its area of responsibility (strip, sector), which this complex cannot fundamentally solve;

poor communication quality of the aircraft with the transport vehicle, the ability to completely suppress the radio channel [5];

the bulkiness of the entire complex - a separate transport vehicle, aircraft, crew with appropriate technical means;

the transport base of the complex in the form of a wheeled vehicle cannot follow units in battle under the conditions of patency;

limited flight time UAV.

The closest in technical essence is the reconnaissance complex according to patent 2015067 C1, B 64 C 29/02, 06/30/1994, including an unmanned aerial vehicle (platform), made according to a helicopter circuit and containing a rotor with an electric drive, a platform flight control device, reconnaissance equipment with a data transmission system to the control body located on the machine, a platform flight control command transmission system [6].

The indicated reconnaissance complex, as applied to individual models of military and military equipment and their tactical units, has the same disadvantages as the Stroy-P complex.

The aim of the present invention is to increase the range and speed of reconnaissance of the enemy in the interests of a separate model of military and tactical units, tactical units of the Army and other military branches.

The problem is solved by installing a special reconnaissance complex on the model of weapons and military equipment.

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that the known aerial reconnaissance complex, including an unmanned aerial vehicle (platform), made according to a helicopter scheme and containing a rotor with an electric drive, a platform flight control device, reconnaissance equipment with a data transmission system to a control body that hosts an IWT sample, a system transmission of flight control commands to the platform, is additionally equipped with an automatic tracking system for the installation object, interface modules (MS), automated workplace as part of a computer and control panel. When inoperative, all the components of the complex are in a portable container that can be installed on a variety of weapons and military equipment.

The composition of the intelligence complex and the relationship between them are presented in the drawing, where

1 - unmanned aerial vehicle (platform);

2 - rotor;

3 - intelligence devices;

4 - sample tracking system;

5 - rotor electric drive;

6 - automatic flight control system;

7 - module for interfacing the platform with the container;

8 - container;

9 - cable cable;

10 - system of automatic cable tension;

11 - electric power converter;

12 - module for interfacing the container with the platform and with the operator's automated workstation;

13 - a sample of weapons and military equipment;

14 - sample power supply system;

15 - automated workplace of the operator.

Distinctive features of the claimed reconnaissance complex are: the drive motor 5 of the screw 2 of platform 1 is supplied from the power supply system 14 of the VVT 13 sample through the MS 12 and MS 7, the presence of the tracking system 4 of the VVT 13 sample, which allows automatically holding the platform 1 over the sample during all its maneuvers on the ground.

As reconnaissance devices, television, thermal imaging information receivers with digital-to-digital signal conversion units, radar, acoustic sensors, laser rangefinders, etc., stabilized in three planes, can be installed on the platform.

To keep the platform 1 at a given height, transmit electric power, control signals and receive video information from the platform to the platform, use the MS 7 and MS 12, as well as fasteners of the container to the machine, a cable cable in the form of an electric drive bay 9 and an automatic tension system 10. The cable cable 9 is a power cable and a communication cable that are connected through MS 7 and MS 12 to an energy converter 11 (for power supply), platform 1 and AWP 15 (according to signals from the reconnaissance channel control and reception of reconnaissance information from it ation). The automatic tensioning system 10 solves the task of winding (unwinding) the cable with a change in the flight height of the platform 1.

AWP 15 is a computer with a control panel and software connected via a data bus, MS 12, cable 9, MS 7 with reconnaissance devices 3 of platform 1 and automatic flight control system 4 of platform 1.

Management platform 1 as follows. The container 8 is installed on the sample of weapons and military equipment 13, connected to the power supply system of sample 14, the AWP 15 is installed at the workplace of the operator (commander / gunner) of the model of weapons and military equipment 13. Connect the cable 9 to the platform 1. At the command of the operator, the workstation 15 carries out a software launch of platform 1 to the air. Simultaneously with the launch of the platform, the tracking system 4 for the BBM 13 model starts, which, through the automatic flight control system 6, holds the platform 1 over the BBM 13 sample with all its maneuvers in the terrain at a given height. The flight altitude, the position in the space of reconnaissance equipment 6 installed on platform 1, the operator establishes and controls using a computer and control panel, transmitting control signals to the automatic flight control system 6 and reconnaissance devices 3. Intelligence from reconnaissance devices 3 via cable 9 enters the computer AWP 15, where after appropriate processing is displayed on the monitor operator AWP.

The current level of technological development allows you to create such a reconnaissance complex.

Compared with the prototype of the claimed invention has the following advantages:

the reconnaissance complex can be installed on various types of military and military equipment - combat, transport and combat groups, command and staff vehicles and control vehicles, reconnaissance vehicles of the land and other military branches, as well as on river and sea ships and solve reconnaissance tasks in the interests of each type of military equipment , and their units as a whole using the automated control system of the unit ;.

due to the transmission of electricity to power the rotor drive from the IWT sample, reconnaissance can be conducted continuously for a long time;

the transmission of all information by cable significantly increases the noise immunity of the communication system with the platform;

the design of the platform, the principles of its management do not require a basic machine and special personnel for its operation and can be controlled by a regular crew member of the IWT model from their workplace;

the automatic tracking system of the platform for the IWT model does not require its management, which allows it to be used both in the parking lot and in motion, because of shelters, in the trenches, in the woods, in settlements (cities), and the small size and thermal contrast make it difficult its detection and defeat by the enemy.

The creation of such platforms will make it possible to take the first step in separating the means of reconnaissance and destruction of the enemy, which in the future will help to radically change the appearance of the weapons and military equipment and their tasks, as well as how to use them.
