Abstract

FIELD: weapon and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: method of mine laying by a surface ship consists in that the combined mine carrier is used which is a container placed on a watercraft (barge) which is placed on the separated wheel platform fitted with a coupler drawbar, mine batches in advance are loaded into the container and fixed on the deck, then mines are finally prepared to laying, the combined mine carrier is stored, under command the batches of mines are transported into the combined mine carrier by the tow truck to the onshore designation, fitted for its lowering into water, where from the ship (vessel) on the carrier watercraft the towing cable is put and the watercraft towage is started, with its immersion into water the wheel platform is separated and the watercraft is towed to the area of mine laying where in a certain sequence the mines are released from fastenings in the container and they are rolled (thrown) into water; for exact registration of coordinates of each laid mine the geographical positioning system is used.

EFFECT: development of method of mine laying by any ship.

Description

The invention relates to methods for setting min.

Minefields allow you to control vast areas of naval and oceanic theaters of war, and with remote control of the state of exposed mines (the “dangerous-safe-liquidation” mode) they make it possible to force minefields on their own [1]. Airplanes, submarines (PL), surface ships (NK), underwater robots, combat swimmers, as well as merchant ships, ferries and boats [1], [2], [3] are involved in mines.

The leading directions in the development of mine weapons for the fleets of the world are considered by leading experts in the field of mine weapons: increasing the detection range of target ships with significantly reduced levels of physical fields, solving the problem of hitting high-speed targets, including submarines and ships with dynamic principles of support (KDPP), modernization existing and the development of new unified and universal in purpose multi-channel fuses, reducing the visibility of bottom and anchor mines, increasing the selectivity of mines, their use ototral resistance, equipping mines with remote control systems of the “dangerous-safe-liquidation” state, improving on-board power supplies, creating transportable mines that perform various tasks, reducing the attack time of the target with warheads while improving reliability, noise immunity, noise immunity, optimizing target selection from several spatial optimized attack trajectory, improvement of overall dimensions, creation of complexes adapted in size to aircraft and boat carriers of all fleets of the world [1].

As can be seen from the above, the main emphasis in the development of mine weapons is on the development of structural elements of mines. At the same time, improving the methods of setting mines plays a very important role in ensuring their combat effectiveness.

A known method of setting mines from surface ships, including receiving the commander of a group of ships tasks for setting a mine barrier, performing the necessary calculations and making decisions to complete the task, which include the beginning and order of acceptance of mines by group ships, the place of collection of ships and the beginning of the transition to the area of setting mines, measures for light and radio masking at the transition and when setting mines, methods of evading encounters with the enemy and attacking their weapons, the beginning and end of final preparation min to the formulation, the beginning and the end of the rebuilding of ships from traveling system in operation for laying mines, the order of laying mines each ship and the relevant signaling maneuvering of ships at the end of laying mines [4, s.40-41].

The disadvantages of the existing method of setting mines with NK, which is currently the main one in the Navy of the leading naval powers, is that the number of mines loaded onto the ship (s) depends on its mine lifting capacity, the final preparation of mines for setting is carried out on the ship after its entry into the sea under the conditions of observance of blackout and the effect of the ship’s pitching, which creates the prerequisites for the erroneous actions of the mine calculation, and with a large number of mines — to delay the preparation time of the ship for their setting.

The aim of the invention is to develop a method for setting mines by a surface ship, which allows for mine setting regardless of the ship’s mine capacity and its purpose, without performing final preparation of mines in the sea that require a prepared mine calculation.

This goal is achieved due to the fact that, in contrast to the prototype method for setting mines, a prefabricated mine carrier is used, including a container equipped with a mine fastener that provides reliable mechanical fastening to the deck of the container and quick release from it, a mine discharge device that allows mines to roll from the container along the guiding mine tracks and slopes [3] after releasing it from the mount, the container is placed on a floating vessel (barge), which is mounted on a detachable wheeled vehicle a platform equipped with a coupling device for transporting it by car, mine lots [3] preload mines in a container and fix them to the deck, make final preparation of mines for setting, store a prefabricated mine carrier with finally prepared mines in immediate readiness for use for the established term in a protected and guarded place in order to ensure its protection, camouflage and safety when the enemy uses weapons, at the command of the mine party [3] vehicles a prefabricated mine carrier is being pulled by a towing vehicle to a designated place ashore, equipped to launch it into the water, where from a ship (vessel) assigned to set mines, a tow rope is launched onto the carrier’s floating vehicle and towing of the floating vehicle is started, with its immersion in water the wheeled platform is separated and the floating vehicle is towed to the mine setting area, where, in accordance with the assignment, the mine setting is started, for which, in a certain sequence, mines are automatically or manually released from the mountings in the container e and produce them slide (reset) in the water for accurate registration of the coordinates of each set mines using geographical positioning system.

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

Table 1 Conformity of the proposed technical solution to the criterion of "significant differences" No. p / p Sign of the proposed technical solution, different from the prototype The source of a known technical solution or object containing a feature that is distinctive from the prototype Properties (functions) shown by the distinguishing feature of the prototype The conclusion about the presence of a new property due to the distinguishing feature in the proposed technical solution in the well-known technical solution given in column 3 one Use of a container, towed craft and wheeled platform Method of setting mines by surface ship Is available Absent New property 2 Advance loading of mines, their final preparation and storage in a protected place in immediate readiness for setting Method of setting mines by surface ship Is available Absent New property 3 Automatic release of mines from fastening and dumping in water Method of setting mines by surface ship Is available Absent New property

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