The closest technical solution adopted for the prototype is the "Automated control system of a complex of torpedo-missile weapons of a submarine" (Patent RU No. 2200346 publ. March 10, 2003). The automated weapon control system contains a control panel that provides a choice of the type of weapon, firing data generation and firing, consisting of an instrument system bus, an integrated power supply, and a processor board module.

The disadvantages of the prototype system are:

- low reliability of preparation, verification of weapons, firing weapons due to the multi-level system, a large number of switching connections between devices, the passage of various types of data signals and commands from the control panel to the on-board weapon control system (BSUO) and from the control panel to the automatic torpedo control system devices (SAUTA) through a variety of intermediary devices (local area network (LAN)), a central control and management device (CPCU), a control and management device (PCU);

- low efficiency of preparation, verification of weapons, carrying out firing of weapons due to the lack of the ability to obtain system information about the situation in automatic mode,

the inability to carry out remote control of weapons from the control panel;

- large dimensions due to the distribution of functions across several devices made in different buildings (crates).

Figure 1 presents a diagram of the proposed system of automated weapon control.

The automated weapon control system contains a control panel 1, providing a choice of type of weapon, firing data generation and firing, UP BSUO 2, which

can be a connector for connecting, for example, to an electric breaking unit, a device for converting and amplifying remote control signals 3, which can be placed in the housing of the control panel 1. The control panel 1 consists of an instrument system bus 4, for example, VME bus, built-in power supply 5, module processor board 6 with a microcomputer, operating, for example, under the control of the operating system QNX 6.x. A control panel 7 (for example, with a liquid crystal display and a keyboard), a digital signal exchange module with a control panel 8, an analog signal exchange module with a hydroacoustic complex 9, a digital signal exchange module with a hydroacoustic complex 10, and a digital signal exchange module with navigation complex 11, a relay signal exchange module with BSUO 12, a digital exchange module with BSUO 13, an analog signal exchange module with BSUO 14. In the control panel 1, an additional module about It is equipped with digital signals with a system for automatic control of torpedo tubes / launchers 15, a relay signal exchange module with a system for automatic control of torpedo tubes / launchers 16, a digital exchange module with a device for converting and amplifying telecontrol signals 17. All modules have an instrument bus system controller 18. All modules are connected via their own controllers of the instrument bus system 18 to the instrument system bus 4, the built-in power supply 5 is connected to the instrument system bus 4. In this case, the control panel 1 through the inputs and outputs of the relay signal exchange module with BSUO 12, the digital exchange module with BSUO 13, the analog signal exchange module with BSUO 14 via an external information bus 19 are connected to the BSUO UE 2. Conversion and amplification device remote control signals 3

connected by the first bus information exchange 20 to the control panel 1 through the inputs and outputs of the digital exchange module with the conversion and amplification of telecontrol signals 17, the second bus information exchange 21 to the UE BSUO 2, and UE BSUO 2 is configured to transmit data to the BSUO 22 by underwater communication lines (PLC) 23. UE BSUO 2 is connected to the BSUO 22 through a connector (communication 24 between the contacts of the BSUO UE BSUO shown in the figure) and the underwater communication line 23.

In the mode of preparation and verification of weapons by command from the control panel 7, the microcomputer of the processor board module 6 generates digital data signals and commands for verification and preparation of weapons. Data signals and commands on the instrument system bus 4 are transmitted to the relay signal exchange module with BSUO 12 (for example, power supply circuit commands), digital exchange module with BSUO 13 (for example, a request for the status of digital weapons systems), and the analog signal exchange module with BSUO 14 (for example, a request for the status of analogue weapon systems), where they are converted to the corresponding type of signals and received via the external information bus 19 to the BSUO UE 2 and then to the BSUO 22. Signals from the BSUO 22 about the state of the weapon pass in the opposite direction.

In the initial data input mode on the control panel 1 using the control panel 7, the operator manually dials and inputs the initial data necessary for preparing and firing a shot with the type of weapon to which the BSUO UE 2 is connected.

In the case of automatic input of input data to the control panel 1, information about the parameters of the target’s movement is received through the digital signal exchange module with hydroacoustic complex 10 from the digital information source of the hydroacoustic complex (HAC 2) in the form of digital signals or through the analog signal exchange module with hydroacoustic complex 9 from

an analog information source of a hydroacoustic complex (HAC 1) in the form of analog signals. Information about the location and speed of the carrier of the system comes through the digital signal exchange module with the navigation complex 11 from the navigation complex (NK). In the control panel 1, on the basis of the processor board module 6 (in micro-computers), the firing data is calculated (including the parameters and trajectories of the target and weapons).

The firing data from the control panel 1 through the digital exchange module with the on-board weapon control system 13 is transmitted via the external information bus 19 through the BSUO 2 UE to the BSUO 22.

When the salvo moment arrives, the control panel 1 receives a shot command through the external information bus 19 and the BSUO UE 2 in the BSUO 22. After that, the weapon begins to work out the algorithms embedded in the BSUO 22.

At the same time, if there is a digital signal exchange module in the system with an automatic control system of torpedo tubes / launchers 15, a relay signal exchange module with an automatic control system of torpedo tubes / launchers 16, from the control panel 1 through modules 15 and 16 to the automatic control system torpedo tubes (SAUTA) receives a shot command, at which SAUTA fires a weapon using, for example, a hydraulic torpedo gun firing system ov. After that, the weapon begins to work out the algorithms laid down in BSUO 22.

After the shot, when using a weapon in the telecontrol mode, data and commands are received from the control panel 1 to the device for converting and amplifying telecontrol signals 3 through the first information bus 20 (for example, turning on the system

homing (CCH), changing the course of the weapon), developed on the basis of 7 commands entered from the control panel and / or developed on the basis of algorithms embedded in the processor board module 6 of micro-computers. In the device for converting and amplifying telecontrol signals 3, digital signals (codes) are transformed into telecontrol signals (codes) and amplified to the required level. The amplified signals are received from the device 3 in the BSUO UE 2, which provides the possibility of their further transmission through the PLC channel 23 from the BSUO UE 2 to the BSUO 22 and the implementation of remote control of weapons. Information from the BSUO 22 on the parameters of the movement of weapons and other data (for example, data from the SSN of the weapon on the distance and direction of movement of the target) are received through the PLC channel 23 through the BSUO UE 2 to device 3, where they are converted to digital signals, which are received from device 3 to the control panel 1 via bus 20 and are processed on the basis of micro-computers of processor module 6 according to special algorithms and programs. The processing results are displayed on the display of the control panel 7 of the control panel 1 in the form of a trajectory of the weapon and the purpose and recommendations for further telecontrol of the weapon.
