Abstract

The utility model relates to launchers for missiles with homing heads. A launcher for homing missiles, contains a base and a movable platform, on the outside of which guides for missiles are installed. In this case, the guides for missiles are made in the form of a bunch of launch tubes diverging relative to the center of the moving platform. The movable platform is made with the possibility of its horizontal rotation. Launcher tubes mounted on a movable platform are made in the form of removable modules with an electromechanical connector. The installation makes it possible to simultaneously launch missiles at targets flying from various azimuthal directions and with vertical angles of attack from 0 to 90 °, and thereby increase the likelihood of reflection of airborne objects. The elimination of the need to transfer the firing line from one target to another (fast azimuth and elevation of the platform in a known launcher) eliminates the need for powerful electric drives to rotate the mobile platform, and, as a result, sharply reduces the required energy and weight and size characteristics of the latter.

Description

The utility model relates to launchers for missiles with homing heads.

Known launcher for homing missiles (RU No. 13921, class F 41 F 3/04, 2000), containing a base and a movable, with the possibility of orientation horizontally and vertically platform with guides for missiles in the form of a package of launch tubes mounted perpendicular to the platform over its entire plane and parallel to each other. In this case, the platform and the base are pivotally interconnected by means of a universal joint and two linear drive units.

A disadvantage of the known launcher is the difficulty of its application to combat air targets, while the latter attack the launcher from various azimuthal directions. This reduces the likelihood of reflection of airborne objects.

The basis of this utility model is the task of creating a launcher, the design of which provides an increase in the probability of reflection of airborne objects.

The solution to this problem is achieved in that the launcher for homing missiles, containing a base and a movable platform, on the outside of which guides for missiles are installed, according to a useful model, guides for missiles are made in the form of a bunch of launch tubes diverging relative to the center of the movable platform.

While the movable platform is made with the possibility of horizontal rotation. Launcher tubes mounted on a movable platform are made in the form of removable modules, with

electromechanical connector. The minimum allowable angular distance a between adjacent launch tubes of the diverging beam, as well as the maximum allowable number N of pipes in the beam, are selected from the conditions:

α = arcsin (d / 2 (R + L) (1),

N = 90k / α (2), where

- d, L - diameter and length of the launch tube,

- R is the radius of the turntable,

- to - the number of vertical rows of launch tubes in the beam.

The introduction of these differences makes it possible to simultaneously launch missiles at targets flying from various azimuthal directions and with vertical angles of attack from 0 to 90 °, and thereby increase the likelihood of reflection of airborne objects.

The elimination of the need to transfer the firing line from one target to another (fast azimuth and elevation of the platform in a known launcher) eliminates the need for powerful electric drives to rotate the mobile platform, and, as a result, sharply reduces the required energy and weight and size characteristics of the latter.

Figure 1 presents a vertical section of the launcher, figure 2 is a view from above.

The launcher for homing missiles contains a base 1 and a movable platform 2, on the outside of which guides for missiles are installed, made in the form of a bunch of launch tubes 3, diverging relative to the center 4 of the movable platform 2. The base 1 can be made in the form of a gun carriage from a caliber gun 155 mm for a ground-to-air ground launcher or as a suspension on airplanes or helicopters for an air-to-air launcher. Platform 2 is configured to

horizontal rotation of the actuator 5 and is equipped with a hollow spherical body 6 for installing the launch tubes 3. The launch tubes 3 are made in the form of removable modules with an electromechanical connector installed in the bis casing of the outside are connected in a bundle by a protective casing 7. Depending on the volume of tasks to be solved, the number and spatial the orientation of the launch tubes 3 in the launcher can be installed on the entire surface 6 of the platform 2 or only in several horizontal or vertical rows thereof. In the latter case, a carousel-type multi-tier launcher truncated in azimuth and / or elevation angle is formed. At the same time, part of the free places for mounting the launch tubes 3 on the housing 6, for example, vertically 8, can be used to install information modules for circular viewing (0 ÷ 360 ° in azimuth and 30 ÷ 40 ° in elevation) of the radar or optical ranges. The minimum allowable angular distance a between adjacent launch tubes 3 of the diverging beam, as well as the maximum allowable number N of pipes 3 in the beam are selected from the conditions:

α = arcsin (d / 2 (R + L); (1)

N = 90K / α, (2) where

- d, L - diameter and length of the launch tube,

- R is the radius of the turntable,

- to - the number of vertical rows of launch tubes in the beam. This utility model is not limited to the above example of its implementation. Within the framework of this utility model, its other implementation is possible not going beyond the limits of the subject of the utility model. So to expand the combat capabilities of the removable modules of the launch tubes 3 can be made in the form of an assortment of calibers or one caliber with sub-caliber inserts. For example, equipped with a set of guides of various assortments for different classes

homing missiles, such as "arrow", "needle", etc. For the safety of personnel, the launcher can be equipped with an external command post, means for identifying targets, automatic launching of missiles after the target is captured by a homing head, etc.

Launcher works as follows. Depending on the combat mission, the number and type of missile ammunition, the probable directions of approaching airborne objects, the required type of launcher is formed to repel a possible enemy’s attack by fixing the corresponding types in the nests of the hulls 6 and 7, the number of removable modules (tubes 3), azimuth and their elevation relative to the plane of the platform 2. In the absence of external radar data on the targets in the vertical pipe 8 install the information module in the radar / Or optical ranges. In an endangered period, the corresponding types of missiles 9 with homing heads 10 are installed in the launch tubes 3 and electric power is supplied to them from external sources. When approaching an air target, it self-captures the corresponding head 10 of the rocket 9, oriented in the direction of approach of the target. In the absence of a ban on launching from an external target designation or its own information module, the main engine of the target-capturing missile 9 is launched. When the target is approached from a different azimuthal direction, another corresponding missile is launched without turning the platform 2. If part of the missile’s ammunition consumption is reflected, installed in the pipes 3, the drive 5 makes a corresponding turn of the platform 2 to ensure the visibility of air targets by the homing heads 10 remaining cancer t 9. In between breakdowns, new missiles 9 are installed in the tubes 3 and the launcher operation is repeated.
