Description

The invention relates to the field of equipping surface ships with equipment and can be used when arming surface ships (NK).

An analysis of global development trends in various branches of military technology - rocketry, aviation, shipbuilding, tank building, air defense and a number of others - shows that one of the main and rapidly developing areas is the integration of means of detecting targets and means of their destruction.

Thus, an integrated combat control system of the lower hemisphere of a surface ship is known, containing various hydroacoustic and non-acoustic stations, an integrating link and a link for analyzing the tactical situation and making recommendations [Okhrimenko S.N., Parshukov V.N., Rubanov I.L., Sergienko M .M. Integrated system of combat control of the lower hemisphere of a surface ship - further development of integrated systems for underwater surveillance // Hydroacoustics. - 2017. - No. 31(3). - With. 62-63].

An integrated combat control system for the lower hemisphere of a surface ship (NK) is known, containing a hydroacoustic channel with a cylindrical antenna located in the nose fairing, a hydroacoustic channel with a flexible extended towed antenna, a channel for processing information from sonobuoys, an anti-submarine weapon control system (ASW), as well as remotes control of hydroacoustic channels, control panel for anti-submarine weapons and control panel for displaying and analyzing information [Modernization of the SAC AN/SQQ-89 of the US Navy (http:pentagonus.ru/publ/36-l-O-391) Accessed 10.03.2022; Koryakin Yu.A., Smirnov S.A., Yakovlev G.V. Ship hydroacoustic equipment. State and actual problems. S-Pb. The science. - 2004 - p. 297-298; Pichugin S. State and prospects for the development of sonar surveillance systems of the US Navy // Foreign Military Review. - 2010. - No. 6. - With. 61-70].

The well-known integrated combat control system of the lower hemisphere of the AN/SQQ-89 surface ship is closest to the proposed device in terms of technical essence and, as a result, is taken as a prototype.

The disadvantage of the known device is the impossibility of the integrated combat control system of the lower hemisphere of the surface ship to control the maneuvering of the NK.

Indeed, it is known that the maneuvering of the observer (in our case, NK) relative to the target allows you to optimize (reduce) the search time and take a position for the use of weapons (in our case, PLO) [Abchuk V.A., Matveychuk F.A., Tomashevsky L. .P. Operations Research Handbook. - M. - Military Publishing. - 1979. - p. 214-255].

The latter leads to the expediency in the combat control system of the lower hemisphere of a surface ship of integrating not only means for detecting targets and means for their destruction, but also means for maneuvering NK.

The objective of the invention is to enable the integrated system of combat control of the lower hemisphere of the surface ship maneuvering NK.

The technical result is to increase the efficiency of the integrated combat control system of the lower hemisphere of the surface ship as an integrated combat system.

To achieve the specified technical result in the well-known integrated combat control system of the lower hemisphere of a surface ship (NK), containing a hydroacoustic channel with a cylindrical antenna located in the nose cone, a hydroacoustic channel with a flexible extended towed antenna, a channel for processing information from radio sonobuoys, each of which is connected respectively with the first, second and third control panel of the hydroacoustic channel, as well as the anti-submarine weapon control system (ASW) connected to the anti-submarine weapon control panel, and the information display and analysis panel, the inputs of which are connected to the outputs of all control panels, new features have been introduced, namely : it includes a control panel for surface ship maneuvering, containing a serially connected information exchange system, a block for route analysis and target location prediction, a block for determining the area of occupying a position for the use of anti-aircraft missiles, a course plotting block, a control block for the surface ship maneuvering system, and also containing a device memory, connected by the first two-way connection with the information exchange system, also containing the first second and third display units, the inputs of which are connected to the second outputs of the trace analysis unit, the unit for determining the area of occupying a position for the use of the PLO and the plotting unit, respectively, the second inputs of which are connected, respectively, to the first, second and third outputs of the knowledge block connected by a second two-way connection to the information exchange system, also containing an operator console, the output of which is connected to the second input of the control unit for the NK maneuvering system, the output of which is connected to the NK maneuvering system, and the input of the information exchange system is connected to information display and analysis console

The best results are achieved if: - the display units, the surface ship maneuvering system control unit and the operator's console are combined into a single operator's user terminal, which facilitates the operator's work due to improved ergonomics of his workplace;

- the output of the control unit of the surface ship maneuvering control system contains a control channel for steering and thrusters and a control channel for the thruster of the NK.
