Abstract

FIELD: aviation equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to automatic aircraft strike systems. Unmanned strike system contains an aircraft with a combat element and is equipped with a control unit, satellite navigation system, video camera, range finder, electrically connected with the control unit. Control unit provides the operation of the combat element at a given distance to the target. Wing of the apparatus consists of fixed and detachable parts. Fixed part of the wing is rigidly fixed to the body of the UAV, the detachable part is mechanically connected with the fixed destructible connection and spring-loaded pins entering the bushings inside the fixed part. Clip with a built-in pyroelement with pyrotechnic fastener is used as a destructible joint, when activated, the mechanical connection is eliminated and the springs push the pins out of the sleeves. With the full extension of the pins from the sleeves, the detachable part is separated from the fixed part.

EFFECT: provided possibility of long-haul and high-speed dive when attacking a target.

Description

The invention relates to military technology and can be used in automatic complexes of defeat of the enemy.

Known T-RAM unmanned attack aircraft (A.V. Karpenko, TEXTRON T-RAM T-RAM miniature unmanned aircraft (USA) MINIATURE UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE TEXTRON T-RAM MAVERICK (USA) / Military-technical collection "Bastion" / [Electronic resource], - Access Mode: http://bastion-karpenko.ru/maverick/ (access date: 12/1/2016)

This unmanned strike aircraft has a drawback - insufficient extension of the wing impairs the ability of the device for long-term duty in the air - loitering.

Also known unmanned shock complex (RF patent 2558528) (prototype).

The unmanned strike complex contains an aircraft with a combat element and is equipped with a control unit, satellite navigation system, video camera, and range finder.

This complex also has a disadvantage - for hitting a target, it is necessary to dive on it, for which a wing of small elongation is preferable, and for long-term duty in the air - loitering is preferable to a wing of great elongation.

The purpose of this invention is to eliminate this contradiction in the aerodynamic characteristics of the apparatus.

To achieve this goal, a new design of the shock complex is announced; the wing of the apparatus consists of fixed and detachable parts. The fixed part of the wing is rigidly fixed on the body of the UAV, the detachable part is mechanically connected with the fixed destructible connection and the spring-loaded pins entering the bushings inside the fixed part.

As a destructible joint, a bracket with a built-in pyroelement pyroelement was used, when activated, the mechanical connection is eliminated and the springs push the pins out of the tubes. With the full extension of the pins from the sleeves, the detachable part is separated from the fixed part.

The complex includes a rangefinder, which determines the distance from the UAV to the target and is electrically connected with the control unit, and the control unit ensures the operation of the combat element at a given distance to the target.

The figure 1 shows a General view of the unmanned shock complex in the transport position, indicating the equipment placed.

The figure 2 shows the connection node of the fixed part of the wing with the detachable part of the wing.

The figure 3 shows the functional diagram of the deployed equipment and communication between the elements of the equipment.

The figure 4 shows the scheme of combat use of an unmanned shock complex.

The unmanned strike complex includes the UAV case (1), which houses the combat element (2). The complex also contains a control unit (3) located in the fuselage, a video camera (4), a satellite navigation system (5) and a range finder (6).

The fixed part of the wing (7) is rigidly fixed to the body of the UAV (1), the detachable part (8) is mechanically connected to the fixed part (7) by a ruptured pyroelement with a pyrolusherla (9) and spring-loaded pins (10) entering the bushings (11) inside the fixed parts. Bursting pyroelectric element (9) is in electrical communication with the control unit (3).

The range finder (6) installed in the forward part of the UAV case (1) is electrically connected to the control unit (3).

The control unit (3) provides for issuing a command to trigger the bursting pyroelement (12) with the subsequent transfer of the combat element (2) to the operational position.

The use of combat shock complex is as follows.

After the launch of the UAV, the operator of the control station, using the information received via the electric communication line (14, 15) from the satellite navigation system (5) and the video camera (4), takes the complex to the combat zone to search for a target. When a target is detected, the operator switches on the attack mode on the control panel. After that, the control unit (3) via the electrical connection line (16) gives a pulse to the bursting pyroelement (12). When triggered pyrotechnic pyrotechnic element (12) triggers, the mechanical connection of the wing detachable part (8) from the fixed part (7) and the springs (13) push the pins (10) out of the sleeves (11). When the pins (10) are fully extended from the bushings (11), the detachable part of the wing (8) is separated from the fixed part (7).

Further diving to the target is carried out with an increase in speed, when the predetermined distance to the target is reached, the control unit (3) on the electric communication line (17) commands to undermine the combat element (2) and act on the target.

Claims (1)

An unmanned attack complex containing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with satellite navigation system (SNS), a video camera, a control unit, a range finder, such as a laser, and electrically connected to the control unit, controlled by an operator from a ground station, and a combat element installed in the UAV, which is different the fact that the wing of the apparatus consists of fixed and detachable parts, the fixed part of the wing is rigidly fixed on the body of the UAV, the detachable part is mechanically connected to the fixed destructible connection and the sub-spring The pins inside the sleeves inside the stationary part used a clip with a built-in pyroelement pyroelement as a breakable joint. When activated, the mechanical connection is eliminated and the springs push the pins out of the sleeves.
