Description

The invention relates to the field of military equipment, namely to complexes for automated control of missile formations and formations of large-caliber multiple launch rocket systems, and can be widely used for controlling fire of missile units.

The development of weapons, including missile systems (AS) and multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), requires continuous improvement of fire control systems, the main tasks of which are:

- information exchange with higher, subordinate and interacting management bodies;

- information exchange with intelligence tools;

- target distribution and planning of fire;

- preparation of flight mission data and calculation of firing settings;

- analysis of information on the state of the formations of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the MLRS of large caliber.

When creating such complexes, special attention is paid to increasing their mobility, efficiency and speed, as well as the possibility of their combat use in the reconnaissance-strike complex, operating on the principle of "reconnaissance-struck."

Thus, the complex of automated control of rocket artillery fire is known (magazine Mititary Parade, Moscow, JSC Military Pereyd, mayjune 1994, p.22-27, p.120-121) and the complex described in the book (Multiprocessor systems and parallel computing "under the editorship of F.G. Enslow, M., Mir, 1976, pp. 161-163, 167), adopted as an analogue. It contains an electronic computer (computer), equipment for transmitting data with communications, technical means of automation and a device for their electrical interfacing. The indicated elements of the complex are functionally interconnected and coordinated by computers.

Common features with the proposed by the authors of the "Complex of automated control of rocket formations and the formation of large-caliber multiple launch rocket systems during firing" is the presence in the complex - an analogue of an electronic computer, data transmission equipment with communications, automation equipment (control panels, displays, video monitoring devices, printing devices, etc.) and devices for their electrical interfacing.

At the same time, to improve the efficiency of the functioning of such a complex, various improvements of both the system elements themselves and the modes of their functional interaction can be applied.

The closest in technical essence and the achieved technical result is a complex of automated control of rocket artillery fire (Patent RU No. 2143133 C1 of 12.20.1999, IPC G06F 19/00, G06F 171: 00, C06F 13/00 - Complex of automated control of reactive fire artillery), adopted by the authors as a prototype, the essence of which is as follows.

It contains an electronic computer, equipment for transmitting data with communications, technical means of automation and a device for their electrical interfacing.

The complex adopted for the prototype operates as follows. All tasks assigned to the complex are called up for solution by a command entered by the operator into an electronic computer. The tasks of calculating the initial settings for firing and flight mission data (DPS) for the target are automatically solved. To control the process of solving problems at the operator’s workplaces, television-type display devices are installed. Upon receipt of enemy information, the electronic computer solves the fire planning tasks, then the decision results are transmitted via the communication channels to the fire weapons (combat vehicles, launching launchers).

However, for the timely destruction of targets that are in their positions for a limited (small) time, it is necessary to give the prototype complex the properties of a reconnaissance-strike complex, which requires its interfacing with reconnaissance equipment. When firing at long ranges, typical for large-caliber missiles and MLRS, airborne radars (on airplanes, helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles) can be used as reconnaissance equipment, which, in turn, requires that it be possible to process not only quickly - tactical information (OTI) about the goals coming from a superior, subordinate or interacting governing body, but also radar information (RLI) about the goals coming from intelligence.

Based on this, the disadvantage of the known complex is the lack of the ability to interface with reconnaissance equipment (radar stations) and, as a result, the inability to process radar information about enemy targets. In addition, the lack of the ability to interface with reconnaissance equipment in the prototype complex makes it impossible to use it in the reconnaissance-strike complex operating on the principle of “reconnaissance-hit” and for servicing firing in real time.

The known complex contains an electronic computer, data transmission equipment with communication equipment, automation equipment for servicing fire weapons and a device for their electrical pairing in the form of a multi-channel switching device containing a clock shaper, configured to set the frequency of connecting channels of the switching device via a switch. The information exchange control unit, configured to interrupt the pairing signals of automation equipment for servicing fire equipment with an electronic computer. The data transmission equipment is coupled with communication equipment and automation equipment for servicing fire weapons with a switching device via a single interface, and the electronic computer is connected to a switching device through a digital exchange line. The clock generator is electrically connected to the information exchange control unit. It establishes a frequency for connecting interface channels equal to the time of exchange of automation equipment for servicing fire weapons with an electronic computer with one byte of information, and the command to interrupt the interface signals in the information exchange control unit is the interface signal for transmitting data from electronic and computing devices by car.

The aim of the invention is the creation of a high-performance complex of automated control of rocket formations and formations of large-caliber multiple launch rocket systems during firing, ensuring the functioning of the large-caliber rocket and multiple-launch rocket systems in reconnaissance and strike systems and in real-time shooting maintenance mode with maximum information exchange efficiency in the interests of increasing the effectiveness of hitting targets.

To achieve this technical result, the well-known complex of automated fire control of large-caliber MLRS and missile systems further comprises a unit for interfacing operational-tactical information and radar information (OTI and RLI), which is connected to a switching device for interfacing and to two data transmission equipment with communication equipment, one of which is intended for information exchange of radar information with reconnaissance equipment, and the other is intended for information about exchange of operational-tactical information with higher, subordinate and interacting management bodies. The information exchange control unit, which is part of the switching interface device, is designed to process radar information from reconnaissance equipment, while the ability to process operational-tactical information from the higher, subordinate, and interacting control bodies is preserved.

The information exchange control unit is configured to interrupt signals, and the command to interrupt the pairing signals in the control unit is a signal from the unit for interfacing operational-tactical information and radar information with an electronic computer. For the target accepted for defeat, the complex provides the possibility of determining the corrections of the shooting settings and the data of the flight mission in order to service the shooting in real time. This is due to the processing of information that comes from intelligence through communication channels.

The invention is illustrated in graphic materials.

The drawing shows a diagram of a computer-aided control complex, which includes an electronic computer 1, reconnaissance equipment 2, superior, subordinate and interacting controls 3, data transmission equipment with communication facilities 4, OTI and RLI 5 interface unit, automation means 6, switching interface device 7, a channel selector 8, a pulse shaper 9, an information exchange control unit 10.

The complex according to the invention operates as follows. When applying electric power, all elements of the complex are involved. The pulse generator 9 through the channel selector 8 periodically polls all the channels of the switching interface 7, through which the automation means 6 and the interface unit OTI and RLI 5 are connected through a single interface. The electronic computer 1 is connected to the switching interface 7 through a number line . The connection of automation means 6 to the electronic computer 1 is carried out periodically for the time required for the exchange of one byte of information. When an information signal appears in the connection channels of the OTI and RLI 5 interface unit, the information exchange control unit 10 gives a ban on servicing automation equipment 6, ensuring that the OTI and RLI 5 interface unit is connected to the electronic computer 1 for the time required to exchange all incoming funds communication information.

The OTI and RLI interface unit 5 and the information exchange control unit 10 provide information exchange with the electronic computer 1 through one channel through data transmission equipment with communication means 4 with reconnaissance means 2, and through another channel through data transmission equipment from communication means 4 with higher, subordinate and interacting governing bodies 3.

At the same time, the operating mode of the OTI and RLI interface unit with the electronic computer is monopoly, and the automation equipment with the electronic computer is multiplex.

The execution of the complex according to the invention ensures the priority of servicing information going through the channels of data transmission equipment from reconnaissance means or from higher, subordinate and interacting control bodies through the OTI and RLI interface unit, after which the received information is distributed in accordance with the criteria for automation equipment.

For the implementation of periodic polling of channels, the connection of the OTI and RLI interface unit and automation equipment to the switching device is performed via a single interface. The output of the switching device is a numerical line for the exchange of all elements of the complex with an electronic computer. The frequency of connecting channels is provided by clock pulses and is set, in the interest of increasing the efficiency of information exchange without losing it, equal to the time of exchange of an electronic computer and automation equipment with one byte of information.

To ensure the priority of processing information from intelligence tools or from higher, subordinate, and interacting controls, the complex provides for the possibility of interrupting the signals from the automation devices to the electronic computer based on the presence of signals coming from the OTI and RLI interface unit. In addition, to provide real-time shooting service in the complex, it is possible to disconnect the OTI’s arrival channel in the OTI and RLI interface unit, which makes it possible to receive RLIs on missile (missile) rupture points from reconnaissance equipment in order to analyze the information received and decide on adjustment of aiming points.

The implementation of a complex of automated control of rocket formations and formations of large-caliber multiple launch rocket systems during firing in accordance with the invention made it possible to achieve maximum information exchange efficiency, both with reconnaissance equipment and with higher, subordinate and interacting control bodies without increasing time standards for firing tasks , and also provides the possibility of the combat use of missile and MLRS formations in reconnaissance mode o-shock complexes in real time.

Currently, design documentation has been developed, and preparations are underway for mass production of the complex.
