Description

The present invention relates to the field of military technology, in particular to the field of robotic weapons with remote control, and can be used to detect and destroy air, ground and surface targets, at high speeds, single and group targets in manual and automatic modes.

The composition of the installation: an electric trigger, electric guidance drives, a cable made with the ability to connect a computer to a weapon installation and monitoring systems in automatic mode of air and ground space with cameras, a thermal imager, sensors, a rangefinder.

The closest in technical essence and the achieved result to the proposed technical solution is an automated remotely controlled complex of fire destruction (1), including a weapon part with a unit of remotely controlled weapons, a remotely controlled device containing at least two video cameras of a wide and narrow field of view, drives of a horizontal and vertical movement of the weapon and the trigger, at least one rangefinder with a device for storing the range of the target object relative to the remotely controlled device, a thermal imager, at least one sensor for recording shooting parameters selected from a number of sensors: a temperature sensor, an atmospheric pressure sensor, a direction and speed sensor wind, control unit and interfacing with a communication channel through a transceiver device with a computer having a monitor and a control device. The computer is configured to programmatically store the terrain image into N-frames, stitch them together, and track the target object. The weapon part is made with a replaceable platform for installing weapons, a cushioning device and a stationary or mobile base frame for moving and installing in a combat position. The complex is equipped with autonomous and/or stationary power sources.

The disadvantages of the fire damage complex are as follows.

1. As a control device, a joystick or a graphical manipulator of the "mouse" or "trackball" type is used, with which aiming at a target requires a certain time.

2. The complex lacks a weapon stabilization system, which greatly complicates the process of aiming a weapon at a target when using the complex on a mobile object (car, armored personnel carrier, etc.) and reduces the effectiveness of hitting targets, especially when driving over rough terrain.

The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is the creation of an automated remote-controlled fire destruction complex that has an extended scope, for example, when it is installed on moving objects (car, armored personnel carrier, boat, etc.), and provides significant improvements in tactical technical and combat characteristics by increasing the speed of aiming and increasing the efficiency of hitting targets. The task is ensured by the fact that when using the essential features that characterize the well-known automated remotely controlled fire destruction complex, equipped with autonomous and / or stationary power sources and including a weapon part with a unit of remotely controlled weapons, a remotely controlled device containing at least two video cameras of a wide and narrow field of view, drives for horizontal and vertical movement of the weapon and trigger mechanism, at least one range finder with a device for storing the distance of the target object relative to the remotely controlled device, a thermal imager, at least one sensor for recording shooting parameters, a control unit and interface with a communication channel through a transceiver with a computer having a monitor and a control device, the computer is configured to programmatically store the image of the terrain on N-frames, stitch them together and track the target object, and the weapon part is made with a replaceable platform for installing weapons, a depreciation device and a stationary or mobile a base frame for moving and installing in a combat position, the control unit monitor has a touch panel, and a replaceable platform for installing weapons contains a gyro stabilization device.

The difference between the proposed invention is as follows:

1. Observation and detection devices have different characteristics and principles of operation, coverage of the observation area established in the invention, have a large detection range and coverage;

2. Detection, guidance of weapons is carried out automatically;

3. The operator serving the invention performs the functions of deployment, loading of ammunition, and in manual firing mode: target selection, selection of fire mode and opening fire;

4. Arrangement and methods of placement of equipment: in the proposed project, only a common stand serves as a connecting link, tools and placement devices have different mounting systems. This allows you to remove the impact of unsteadiness produced when firing from a gun;

The specified technical result is achieved as follows:

In the upper part there are monitoring devices (cameras, a thermal imager, a range finder, a motion sensor), on a stand (1) connected to the base (9), using a beam (2).

The tool is fixed on a stand (3) with a vice placed on a beam (6). The vertical guidance of the gun is performed by electric drives (4), (5). The electric drive (4) rotates the base of the beam (6) by 1 degree per revolution, the electric drive (5) rotates by 10 degrees per revolution. Horizontal rotation is produced by electric drives (7), (8) which rotate the upper part of the beam (6). The electric drive (7) rotates 1 degree per revolution, the electric drive (8) rotates 10 degrees per revolution.

Electric actuators perform movements in 2 strokes (opposite directions).

The stand (9) can be fixed permanently (11) or on the BM (10). An electric drive is also installed on the BM (10), which unfolds and collapses (19) the installation.

The installation (14) is controlled via a computer (12) connected to a cable (13) through which currents (16) are supplied to the installation. The exchange of monitoring information with the computer is carried out in automatic mode, and the guidance of the gun, by choice: in automatic or manual modes.

Opening fire from a gun is carried out using a trigger (14) cocking, when fired, an electric trigger (15).
