Description

The described invention relates to the destruction of enemy submarines (PL).

Armed with surface ships and submarines of the Russian Navy and the Navy of foreign countries are anti-submarine guided missiles (PLR) of two types: ballistic and cruise [1, p. 356-361].

The first-generation ballistic ballistic missiles Asrok (USA, 1961), Sabrok (USA, 1965), Whirlwind (USSR, 1968) and Blizzard (USSR, 1969) are known [2]. Their drawback, except for the Asrok missile launcher, was to equip only with a nuclear warhead (NFC). Subsequently, anti-submarine small-sized torpedoes (MGT) began to be used as the warhead of the PLR. So the winged PLR Malafon (France, 1965), Icarus (Great Britain, 1965) and 85R Metel (USSR, 1973) were created.

The development of rocket technology, engine building, and information technology contributed to the evolution of anti-submarine missile weapons, which was carried out along the path of increasing the flight range of missiles and improving their control systems. So in the 1990s. In the industrialized countries of the world, a new generation of winged anti-ship missiles and systems was created, which had an increased firing range of more than 100 km.

PLR “Super Icarus” (Great Britain, 1990) up to 110 km and PLR “Milas” (France, Italy, 1993) up to 100 km. The development of information technology made it possible to equip the indicated missile launchers with new control systems that make it possible to control a missile from a surface ship, helicopter or ground control point [2]. However, the increased flight range of these missiles remained unclaimed due to the lack of reliable target designation sources capable of detecting enemy submarines in the open sea at long ranges.

In addition, the decrease in interest in PLR by foreign experts is explained by such a reason as shipborne GAS target designations have a complex configuration of observation zones with numerous “shadow” zones, depending on hydrology and depths in the area, as a result of which the missile target can miss (PLR flight ) along the trajectory. Given all these facts, even in such a rich country as the USA, the development of PLRs as inappropriate by military-economic criteria has ceased [1, p. 358].

The specified disadvantage can be eliminated by:

1) the choice of the variant of a cruise anti-submarine missile having a flat trajectory with a small marching height (up to 10-20 m) [1, p. 328-336];

2) equipping the missile launcher with a means of detecting a submerged submarine and devices for preventing (compensating) missile missile (flight).

The closest analogue of the proposed missile is a cruise anti-submarine missile, the device of which includes a hull with a bearing wing and controls (ailerons, vertical steering wheel and elevators) that form the glider; propulsion system (DU), including the launch (SRD) and, as a rule, mid-flight (MRD) jet (rocket) engines; airborne control system (BSU), providing autonomous (AU) and remote (tele) control (TU) missile; onboard power supply; torpedo warhead (TBC), which is used as a small-sized torpedo (MGT), designed to destroy enemy submarines and equipped with a braking and stabilization system (STS) to provide the required delivery parameters to the calculated point and landing MGT [3]. The MGTs are equipped with a non-contact target detection system (NSO), in accordance with the teams of which they search for the target, detect it, approach it and defeat it by undermining the warhead and subsequent mechanical destruction of the submarine’s hull.

Known magnetometric means of detecting a source object of a magnetic field [1], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], in particular, aircraft search magnetometers - devices for detecting submarines with a range of up to 800 m [1, p. 396], and a method for determining the coordinates of a magnetic field source [7].

Magnetometric detection tools (aviation search magnetometers) can be placed on a winged PLR as a means of detecting an immersed submarine. A low-flying winged PLR having a flat path with a small marching height of the order of 5 ... 10 m (to increase the search depth of the target) [8, p. 107], equipped with a magnetometer, eliminates the omission of the PL target with an immersion depth of up to 500-600 m (flight PLR) along the trajectory and separate the DST at the point of detection of the submarine.

The immersion depths of modern submarines do not exceed 600 m, which ensures their reliable detection by a magnetometer located on a winged low-flying submarine. After splashdown, torpedo warheads of the PLR perform a circular search of the PL target using acoustic homing equipment (ASN). With a range of ASN of the order of several kilometers, reliable secondary detection and defeat of the submarine target of the HDTV are ensured.

The aim of the invention is the development of a cruise anti-submarine missile, which allows, in conditions of unstable target designation or in conditions of observation of the target in the passive mode of operation of a sonar station (GAS) or a sonar complex (GAC) of a carrier ship, when the distance to the PL target is at a considerable distance from the carrier (up to 100 km or more), it is tentatively known to fire at the area of the alleged location of the enemy submarines, to “scan” the underwater environment (search for targets) in flight s a small sustainer height of about 5 ... 10 m (for increasing the depth of the search target), and the detection PL, attack it, excepting omission PL-target (flight RLP) on the trajectory.

After the enemy submarines are detected by a missile magnetometer, a command is issued in the BSU to maneuver the missile for a turn with simultaneous climb, returning to the target detection point and resetting the TDP. Climbing maneuver is necessary to ensure the discharge of the TBC, its braking and safe entry into the water. To increase the accuracy of torpedo throwing, the location of the detected target should be marked with a marker, which is discarded at the point of target detection by a magnetometer. The marker is a parachute-dropping container that houses a float, a gas generator for inflating it, and a visual, infrared, or radio-technical designation of the place. Instead of a marker in a variant embodiment, it is advisable to use a radio-acoustic buoy (RSL) [9, p.13, 14, 352], which are reset at the target detection point, turn it on and listen to the underwater environment in passive mode, detect the underwater target, give a signal about target detection on a rocket (second salvo rocket, carrier, KP). The missile performs a maneuver of approach with a marker or RSL, drops the TDP at the calculated point of location of the PL target, the TBC searches for the PL target, detects the target, performs its attack and defeat. PLR can be used in one gulp, being distributed among the calculated aiming points relative to the detected PL target by known methods (firing over an area) [12, p. 432].

This goal is achieved due to the fact that, unlike the well-known cruise anti-submarine missiles, the missile is equipped with a magnetometer connected to the BSU, a marker (device for marking the target location) or a radio-acoustic buoy (RSL), the marker is equipped in the form of a container with a parachute in which the float is placed , a gas generator for inflating it and a means of visual, infrared or radio-technical designation of a place, a marker search device (RSL) associated with the BSU is installed on the rocket, a missile control program is introduced in the BSU, which includes control commands after the magnetometer is triggered when a target is detected, after a marker is detected (RSL), a command for registering the coordinates of the target detection point in the BSU memory, a marker reset command (RSL), a climb command with simultaneous rotation of the rocket to the target detection point, a command to search for a marker (RSL), a command to calculate in the control system a point of resetting the high-frequency converter after detecting a marker (RSL), a command to reset the high-frequency lock “by marker” (triggered by the RSL), a command to enter the control system formations about the location of the target, a command to take the missile to self-liquidate it at a distance that excludes interference with the non-contact detection system (NSO) of the TDR target, the command to self-liquidate the missile, the missile control system includes information exchange devices (VZOI) between the missiles in the salvo, carrier and KP for their coordination of actions in cases of magnetometer operation upon detection of a target or detection of a marker (triggered RSL) of one or another volley missile.

In an embodiment, for detecting a low-noise submarine (PL), the missile is equipped with a device with an explosive sound source (VIZ) [9, p.75], designed to discharge it from the rocket after dropping the RSL and sharing it with the RSL when illuminating the underwater environment, a decisive device (PSA) or a search-and-target system (PPS) associated with a missile safety system and designed to process information from the RSL and transmit it through the VZOI device to other missile salvo, carrier or missile defense.

The compliance of the proposed technical solution with the criterion of "significant differences" is evidenced by the information given in table 1.

The proposed technical solution meets the criterion of "significant differences", since none of the distinguishing features in the known device is not detected.

Achieving a positive effect in the implementation of the proposed device is confirmed by the information given in table 2.

2. The use of anti-submarine cruise missiles

There is a method of hitting a submarine with a universal cruise missile 85RU equipped with a high-speed ballistic missile, including launching a missile, controlling a missile at the starting and marching sections of the trajectory, resetting a high-fire ballistic missile at a calculated point, parachuting a torpedo, bringing it down, finding and capturing a submarine with a torpedo homing system, attacking a target, hitting a torpedo in the submarine and the undermining of the warhead [10], [11].

The specified method, as noted above, is not effective when firing long-range ballistic missiles and incomplete (only bearing for the target is known) target designation, since the method does not provide a discharge of the TDP in the target capture zone of the NSF torpedo.

The aim of the invention is to develop a method of using a cruise anti-submarine missile, equipped with a magnetometer and corresponding additional devices providing target detection and missile control on the trajectory.

A method of using a cruise missile launcher, which consists in detecting a submarine using positional or remote detection means, under conditions of unstable target designation or under conditions of observing a target in the passive mode of operation of a sonar station or sonar complex of a carrier ship, when the distance to the target is located at a considerable distance from the carrier (up to 100 km or more) it is known approximately, they give target designation data (including only bearing to the target) to the carrier of an anti-submarine missile (PLR), Perform prelaunch preparation and verification of ballistic missile and high-frequency missile systems, enter the flight mission into the missile launcher, launch the missile from the launcher, control the missile at the launch and march sections of the trajectory using the missile launcher, and in an alternative design, on command from the missile system from the carrier (KP), hold marching small flight altitude of the rocket 5 ... 10 m above sea level (to increase the depth of the target search), by the command of the BSU include a magnetometer at the calculated point and search for the target on a given flight path, with the detection of the target in the BSU I generate a command to drop a marker or RSL, transmit a signal about detecting a target through the VZOI system to another salvo missile (carrier, missile), calculate the maneuver for dropping a high-frequency ballistic missile in the target capture zone of an NSF torpedo, if the high-frequency ballistic missile does not fall into this zone or in accordance with the task, the maneuver for turning the missile and resetting the TDP at the point with the marker (triggered by the RSL) is calculated, the missile is turned and the marker (triggered by the RSL) is searched for by their search device, the marker (RSL) is detected, after the RSL is reset, it is turned on and listening is performed water in passive mode, they detect an underwater target and give a signal about target detection (RSL operation) to a rocket (carrier, KP) or all salvo rockets during volley fire, perform a missile maneuver to reset the TBC, reset the TBC to the point where the marker or triggered RSL is located (in the case of a signal from him about the detection of a target), after the TDR is dropped in the missile launcher, the team develops commands for its control to self-liquidate at a safe distance from the TDP missile drop point, which ensures that there is no interference with the operation of the NS torpedo, when received and a signal from another volley missile about detecting a target with its magnetometer, the first missile’s BSU develops control commands to search for a marker (RSL) of another rocket, detects a marker (RSL), maneuvers to reset the DSS to the marker or triggered RSL (provided receiving a signal from him about detecting a target), reset the TFC, search for a submarine target with a torpedo, find the target, carry out its attack by bringing the torpedo closer to the distance of its non-contact fuse or until the moment of collision orpedy with purpose body, undermining the explosive warhead torpedoes and hit the target.

In an embodiment, for detecting a low-noise submarine after being dropped from the RSL rocket, the device with an explosive sound source (VIZ) is reset, the VIZ is blown up, the sound waves created by the VIZ reflected from underwater objects are received at the RSL hydrophones, they transmit information to the missile’s SRP (PPS) where it is processed, after which, at the command of the BSU, the missiles through the VZOI device transfer the processed information to other salvo missiles, the carrier (CP), perform the missile maneuver to drop the TFC and attack the submarines, or continue the flight route of the missiles.
