Description

The invention relates to military equipment, in particular to methods of guarding and defending the border, as well as to methods and devices for alarming, in particular to radio wave detectors and means of protection used to enhance the protection of borders of protected territories in conjunction with engineering barrage facilities. The invention relates to techniques for providing protection and safety, and in particular to elements of active protection of critical objects, namely to weapons used to actively counter unauthorized entry into the territory of a protected object, including with the aim of committing a terrorist act, and can also be used in technology of counter-terrorism means for silently scattering containers with irritating and immobilizing means, light and sound means of distraction present and psychophysiological effects. In modern conditions, when protecting especially important objects, it becomes necessary not only to detect and detain the violator, but often to liquidate him. The proposed device can find application in solving the problems of active protection and defense of terrain, approaches, internal premises of objects of special importance, which include: nuclear power plants and other energy-producing enterprises, environmentally hazardous enterprises, storage and processing facilities for radioactive, explosive, narcotic, toxic substances . Currently, the following weapons are known to be used in active protection systems of critical objects:

1. firearms in automatic detection and guidance systems,

2. anti-personnel and anti-tank engineering mines when mining the territory adjacent to the guarded object with the use of, inter alia, fire, chemical and light-signal mines,

3. electroshock conductive elements used in fencing the perimeter of the protected object with engineering security equipment,

4. physical security of the facility, carried out with the help of paramilitary guard units and specially trained service dogs.

The disadvantages of these weapons are the impossibility of completely eliminating the human factor, as well as the need to use powder charges and explosives.

Known means of destruction of non-lethal action of active protection systems based on smoke and gas generators filling the space with thick opaque smoke (gas); sound sirens generating sound waves of complex shape; stroboscopes generating blinding flashes of light [Active protection systems // Security systems, 2005, No. 2, p.151 - analogue; Application RU No. 94024228, IPC F41Н 9/06, G08В 7/00, publ. 08/27/1996 - analogue].

The disadvantage of all these tools is that they unmask the protected object when triggered, as well as the inability to adjust the degree of their impact on the intruder.

The most commonly used tool in the destruction systems of active defense systems of especially important objects is an engineering mine [Gutenko PD, Matin G.A. Mine weapons. M .: 1988, 95 p. Shevchuk M.K., Katurkin E.A. How to overcome engineering barriers. M .: 1961, 182 p.].

Mines are defeated by the force of the blast wave and the fragments flying apart during the explosion, and other explosion products. The use of mine weapons in safety and security technology is due to the availability of modern means of mechanizing the installation of mines, the use of a charge of directional destruction and electronic fuses with a non-removable element, a significant increase in the mechanical strength of mines and their components, as well as the possibility of their use together with a signaling and control device min [RF Patent No. 2215974, IPC F41H 11/00, publ. November 10, 2003 - an analogue].

The disadvantages of this analogue are the inability to control the degree of impact on the intruder; the presence of a high-explosive effect, sound, flash, unmasking a protected object; the impossibility of use in closed rooms, since the detonation of mine devices can cause damage to the protected object; the inability to quickly recharge the lesion system; the difficulties of transferring most mining systems based on mining to a safe state; the high cost of the system through the use of expensive equipment and specially trained maintenance personnel; the ability to overcome the system using sapper tools.

It is widely known that to increase the delay time of the intruder on the perimeters of the territories of protected objects equipped with obstructive engineering structures (walls, barriers, reinforced concrete fences, etc.), barriers made of high-strength barbed wire or cutting tape, usually made in parallel form, are also used threads "," grids ", flat or volumetric" Bruno spirals ". To detect the fact of intrusion, together with the barriers, detectors (sensors, detectors, etc.) of protection are installed, containing current or vibration sensitive elements. These detectors give an alarm signal when the fence is deformed, for example, when the conductive “threads” are broken or shorted between themselves, or when a specific spectrum of mechanical vibrations appears. In known detectors, electrical conductors, microphones, geophones or special vibration-sensitive cables are usually used as a sensitive element.

The present invention contains the following similar feature with well-known devices: the use of metal wire fences as a sensitive element of the detector.

The main disadvantage of these detectors is the inability to detect, without direct mechanical action, the intruder’s body on the structural elements of the fence. In addition, the use of such detectors in conjunction with wire fences in the form of "Bruno spirals" and "grids" is not effective enough, because to increase the "stiffness" adjacent spiral rings and nodes of the "grid" of the fence mechanically or by welding are connected in a plurality of electrical points in a non-separable structure. In this case, the break or shorting of the "threads", as well as the mechanical deformation of the fence, are not perceived by the current-sensitive element. The installation of additional signal conductors is required. The search for points of circuit, breakage and repair restoration of such conductors in the places of breakage is significantly complicated. Vibration sensitive detectors generate an increased frequency of false alarms due to resonant vibration of the wire arising from interfering wind loads, moving vehicles and industrial equipment.

These disadvantages are partially eliminated when using known security detectors with sensitive elements in the form of long lines of surface radio waves.

It is well known (I.E. Efimov, G. A. Ostankevich. Radio frequency communication lines. M., Communication, 1977, p. 57, 91) that in free space along an two-wire or multi-wire telecommunication line an electromagnetic field is excited in the form of surface radio waves, if a high-frequency (HF) voltage generator is connected to the beginning of the line, an electrical load is connected to the end of the line, and the line is much longer than the length of the radio wave. The spaced-apart wire buses of the line form a spatial waveguide characterized by a value of wave resistance. The mode of surface waves depends on the relationship between the “incident” (traveling) wave traveling along the open waveguide from the generator to the load and the “reflected” wave traveling from the load to the generator. The mode is characterized by the coordinates of the location of the maxima (antinodes) and minima (nodes) of the field energy emitted into space along the line. This mode is called the standing wave mode. The distance between the extrema and their electrical coordinates, expressed in radio wavelengths, characterize the spatial "phase" and "frequency" (mode) of the standing wave. The intruder’s body, upon invading the waveguide space, changes the phase of the wave and the wave impedance of the line, which is electrically displayed in the load in the form of modulation of the amplitude of the received RF field strength. Controlling the amplitude (depth) of the modulation and analyzing the time spectrum of the modulation signal, they decide on the fact of detection in the absence of mechanical contact of the intruder’s body with the line wires.

A similar sign is a wired telecommunication line.

The main disadvantage of detectors using single-mode lines of surface waves as a sensitive element is the uneven sensitivity along the line. This is because the amplitude of the modulation signal depends on the location of the point of approach of the intruder’s body to the line, i.e. from the spatial phase of the standing wave at this point, while the points of increased sensitivity at the antinodes of the radiation of the field alternate with the points of reduced sensitivity at the nodes of the field until the appearance of “non-detection zones” along the line through which the intruder can overcome the obstacle without issuing an alarm signal.

This disadvantage, the unevenness of sensitivity, is eliminated according to the well-known "Method for detecting an intruder" (see Patent RU No. 2037881, MKI G08B, 13/18, publ. 19.06.95), according to which a long two-wire line in the mode of surface standing waves is used as a sensitive element of the security detector, compare the level of intensity of oscillations at the receiving point with a reference value and generate an alarm when the level deviates from the reference. The method is characterized in that in order to increase the reliability of detection, the spatial phase is changed, and therefore the "mode" of the spatial standing wave in an extended waveguide sensitive element. The example device shown in the aforementioned patent contains an RF oscillation generator and a first phase-shifting device connected to the first input of the line, a second phase-shifting device and a resistive electric load connected to the second input of the line, as well as an RF bandpass filter, a functional amplifier-detector with digital multi-channel automatic adjustment amplification (AGC), low-frequency reference pulse generator, subtracting circuit, inverse amplitude-threshold circuit, digital threshold counter-integrator of pulses, circuit the analogue to digital control and synchronization of the time elements of the device.

Similar features of the present invention with the known method are: using a wire line of surface radio waves, comparing the amplitude level of the RF waves with a reference level, generating an alarm, changing the phase of the surface wave.

Similar features of the present invention with an example implementation of the device described in the description of the method are: a transmitter and receiver of an RF electromagnetic field, a sensing element in the form of a wire line of surface waves, two wire buses, a generator of RF oscillations, the first and second blocks of phase delay of the surface wave, voltage converter power supply, reference low-frequency pulse generator, high-pass bandpass filter, functional amplifier-detector, discrete-analogue difference circuit, inverse amplitude-por main circuit, threshold integrator counter and executive relay control circuit.

The disadvantage of this method is that it does not disclose signs that provide the ability to control mechanical deformation of metal wire perimeter barriers and the possibility of obtaining signal information about the direction of movement of the intruder through a controlled perimeter. A disadvantage of the known device is that it does not disclose the functional elements and communications that provide power and synchronous operation of the components in space, without which the technical implementation of the device seems impossible.

Known machine for shooting weapons according to US Pat. RF №2082932, IPC 6 F41A 31/00, publ. 06/27/97, the Machine contains a massive base, a fixture for fixing and a back emphasis. The device is not intended for military operations and does not contain a remote control system.

A known installation for mounting weapons on a vehicle according to US Pat. RF №2026527, IPC 6 F41A 23/34, which contains the barrel, the drive horizontal and vertical movement and limiters of the angles of rotation of the barrel in the horizontal and vertical plane. Shooting is carried out from the vehicle, aiming is carried out by the shooter by horizontal and vertical rotation of the barrel manually. The movement of the vehicle and its turn provide an additional expansion of the shelling sector.

The disadvantages of the device are that it is not intended for remote control of shooting, and the shooter is exposed to significant danger during the fighting. A remote control (security) system is not provided at all.

The experience of guarding facilities and combat operations by troops in the North Caucasus and Tajikistan, as well as the lack of special and anti-vehicle engineering mines in the troops, as well as the means to install various engineering ammunition in a controlled version, initiated work to expand the arsenal of control and signaling devices and devices for controlling the state of engineering min

Known devices for covering (guarding) local areas that allow you to detect the intruder on the approaches to them, and devices for controlling the state of engineering mines installed to defeat the enemy in a protected (defended) area.

The disadvantage of signaling devices is their limited use - only for the protection of objects. In this case, the target is not affected, and measures are being taken to detain. In modern conditions, during the elimination of hotbeds of tension, there is a need not only to detect and detain the enemy, but often to eliminate him.

The disadvantage of devices for controlling the state of engineering mines (UMP, UMP-2, UMP-3, UMPN-68, VKPM-1, VKPM-2, the MVE-NS fuse) is also their limited use - only to defeat the enemy. At the same time, for signaling that it is approaching guarded (defended) lines, SM signal mines are installed. The sound and light signals of the SM, when triggered, can make changes to the enemy’s design.

Known control and signaling device "Crystal-M", designed to cover (guard) local areas and containing the linear part of the LS-2 and the signal device. The signal device consists of a valve cascade, a master oscillator and two key stages for switching on sound and light alarms.

The disadvantage of this device is that the design of the signal device and the operation of the circuitry do not allow connecting explosive ordnance to it and thus perform an additional function - defeating the enemy.

The present invention solves the problem of combining in such devices the functions of not only signaling the impact on the linear part, but also if it is necessary to hit the target with engineering mines. To achieve this technical result, a signal-protective device containing control wires connected to the inputs of the device, consisting of a series-connected valve cascade, a master oscillator, a key cascade for switching on an audio alarm, a key cascade for switching on a light alarm, is equipped with an electric explosion network with engineering ammunition and a combat circuit consisting of a toggle switch for controlling its state, a diode, a transistor switch, a storage capacitor, a relay, linear clamps moreover, the output of the key stage for switching on the sound signal through the diode is connected to the input of the transistor switch and the storage capacitor, a relay is included in the output circuit of the transistor switch, the normally open contacts of which are included in the voltage supply circuit to the linear terminals connected to the electric explosion network.

A guidance video camera 33 with a zoom is mounted on the barrel 29 34, as well as a laser target indicator 35, connected to the controller of the weapon 8.

Each unit of remotely controlled small arms 1 is mounted on trees, poles, etc.

The weapon controller 8 is connected by a communication channel 21, for example, a cable or wireless communication, with a control computer 19.

The device (figure 3) contains mines 17 connected via a minefield controller 16 to the control computer 19.

Mines 17 (figure 3) are mines with combined control i.e. they are equipped with contact fuses and radio fuses and contain a radio-transparent wall of the mine’s shell 36, a radio fuse 37, a processor 38, to the input of which a radio fuse 37 is connected. An explosive device 39 is connected to the output of the processor 38. A contact fuse 40 is connected to the other input of the explosive device 39. To the controller Alarm 10 also connected motion sensors 41 (inductive or capacitive).

When the system is working, when the border is violated, the motion sensor (s) 41 or other alarm sensors 11 are activated, general-purpose cameras 9 are turned on and, if necessary, the operator can activate the weapon controller 8, then, as necessary, a unit of remote-controlled small arms 1 remotely controlled mortars 2, remotely controlled guns 3, unmanned aircraft 4, remotely controlled tanks 5, remotely controlled missiles 6, radar 7 or minefield controller 14, i.e. unlocks all or a group of mines 17, or turns on a warning controller 12 and loudspeakers 13, or a lighting controller 14 and a spotlight 15.
