Definitions
- This invention relates to defence means.
- this invention relates to set defence means for defending a designated area.
- Conventional set defence means for defending a designated area is by placement of concealed land mines throughout the designated area. These land mines are normally placed randomly throughout the designated area.
- this invention in one aspect resides broadly in set defence means for defending a designated area including:- at least one monitor for monitoring the designated area to detect any zone therein in which a new presence appears; defence capable of debilitating personnel present anywhere in a remote designated area; and communication means providing communication between the monitor and the defence for triggering selective activation of the defence for delivering a debilitating attack to the detected zone.
- the monitors include one or more on-site sensors deployed in the designated area or remote sensing means deployed remote from the designated area. Alternatively the monitoring means may include both on-site and remote sensing means.
- the monitoring means may also provide a visual display of the monitored designated zone so that manual override means may be actuated, if desired, to enable manual control of the set defence means.
- the defence is adapted for inconspicuous placement, however in some applications conspicuous defence may be utilised as a deterrent.
- the defence may be any suitable arrangement of conventional weapons such as machine guns, grenade and rocket launchers, cannons, or combinations thereof.
- the set defence means comprises or includes multi-barrel weapons each having barrels loaded with multiple sequentially fired projectiles selectively fired by electronic controls and more preferably of the general type described and or illustrated in my earlier International Patent Applications Nos. PCT/AU94/00124,
- This preferred arrangement provides the advantage of the set defence means being relatively transportable and compact and thus easily concealed while providing the ability to deliver relatively large numbers of projectiles to the detected zone in a very short space of time.
- the set defence means can also be of a one-use disposable type enabling size optimization to be more easily achieved and also providing cost benefits. This has benefits over conventional weapons in that each set defence module is free of ammunition feed and ejection systems, breech opening or mechanical operation. This enables each defence module to be self contained in a compact shell or container which may be partially buried readily deployed without much concern.
- FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic layout of a typical installation
- FIG. 2 provides a diagrammatic perspective view of the embodiment Illustrated in Fig. 1 ;
- FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic perspective view of an alternate layout
- FIG. 4 is a view which is similar to Fig. 3 but illustrates alternate forms of set defence means
- FIG. 5 illustrates a further embodiment of the invention in which the said defence means and the remote monitoring means are deployed on a vehicle;
- FIG. 6 illustrates an alternate form of vehicle deployment;
- FIG. 7 illustrates an installation in which the said defence means provided with permanent in-ground mountings in the designated area with reloadable inserts
- FIG. 8 illustrates a remote visual display monitor for a manual override control of the said defence means
- FIGS. 9, 10 and 11 illustrate yet further embodiments in which the defence means is delivered by an aircraft
- FIG. 12 is a table listing different weapon types and their relevant criteria. Referring initially to Figs. 1 and 2, it will be seen that a designated area 10 to be defended is monitored by an array of field sensors 11 distributed over the designated area and which may be of any suitable type such as pressure, acoustic or seismic type sensors.
- the illustrated set defence means 12 is in the form of a pair of grenade boxes
- a remote sensing means 14 which in this embodiment is tower mounted and adapted to sweep the designated area 10 to monitor any intrusion into the designated area by a personnel or vehicles.
- the sensor unit 14 is adapted to receive signals from the array of field sensors
- each grenade box 13 is located in a substantially concealed position in the ground and of course once set up the hole in which the grenade box 13 is placed may be back filled without causing any detrimental effects to the operation of the grenade box.
- the grenade box 13 has an outer case in which the weapon is delivered to the front and which includes a lower casing portion 15 supporting the barrels 16 and which remains as an integral part of the weapon.
- screw jacks 18 or the like may be coupled between the base mounting 17 and the lower casing portion 16 to adjustably set the trajectory.
- a turret type mounting may also be provided to aim the barrels 16. The hole in which the box 13 may be backfilled to substantially bury the grenade box 13 to provide substantial concealment and stabilization of the weapon.
- the weapon illustrated contains 588 grenade carrying projectiles contained six to a barrel with the box containing a stack of 98 barrels in rows of side by side barrels. It is considered that such a box for 40 mm grenades would be in the order of 600 mm square in cross-section and 750 mm deep.
- a small control circuit provided as a plug-in connection to the grenade box 13 is fitted on-site but not during transport so as to maintain safety of the weapon during transport. Once fitted, the weapon is armed and ready to fire in accordance with controls provided by the sensor unit 14.
- the selected grenade box 13 can be activated to fire one or more grenades into that particular zone.
- the barrels of the weapon may have an inbuilt aiming system providing sufficient variation for selection of any one of the target zones at a respective side of the designated area.
- the grenade boxes 13 may be such that in the operative range of say 100 m to 1500 m.
- the grenades launched from the lower left hand tubes or barrels will reach the near left hand corner of the designated area.
- the grenades launched from upper left hand barrels will reach the far corner of the designated area and those launched from the corner barrels at the right hand side of the box will reach the near and far portions at the middle of the designated area.
- selected barrels can be activated to fire grenades to the desired zone.
- the barrels can be disposed with their axes parallel or splayed to achieve the desired target impact pattern.
- all barrels may be simultaneously activated to fire one round so that all of the designated area is shelled with grenades.
- one grenade may be fired to any zone in which a presence is detected. Then again, that zone or all zones may be subject to any selected number of grenades up to the six contained in each barrel. If desired, all of the grenades may be despatched to each or all of the designated zones in a fraction of a second.
- the grenade boxes 13 utilise the inventions disclosed in my previous International Patent Application which provide simple and effective means of stacking multiple electrically fired projectiles in individual or groups of barrels, being free of feed or ejection systems or any mechanical operation.
- the grenade boxes may be buried just below the ground or their upper end may be open and concealed by suitable camouflaging ingress of water or other contaminants into the backfill or the hole into which the grenade box is located will not affect the operation of the grenade box.
- grenade boxes can be quickly deployed in a war zone and connected to on-site or remote sensors to provide a hands free defended zone which will perform the functions of a minefield without having the disadvantage of remaining permanently after the defence is not required.
- the grenade boxes may be easily removed as a unit when not required.
- grenade boxes may be located in each site such as in a trench with suitable controls to have them fire in series so that after one grenade box 13 is depleted of its grenades, the next is activated.
- the leading rounds of a grenade box may contain sensors which are fired upon installation of the grenade boxes so as to locate the infield sensors in the actual position to which the grenades will be fired from that barrel.
- designated areas may be set with an array of field sensors for subsequent activation of the remaining rounds of the particular or associated grenade boxes.
- the grenade boxes are replaced by banks of weapons 30 which are configured as kinetic close range solid state gun systems and which in the illustrated embodiment, fire 9 mm rounds across the designated area.
- the weapons 40 fire air burst 25 mm rounds onto the target zones.
- the air burst rounds are adapted to explode at a low level above the ground such as at about 1 m to 3 m.
- the grenade boxes 13 may be used in combination with the kinetic rounds, air burst rounds or other special purpose rounds so as to suit the particular situation which may have varying terrain and include bodies of water and in such instances, the type of round can be selected to suit the terrain at each particular zone.
- the weapons can be carried on a vehicle such as a wheeled vehicle 50 in Fig. 5 or a tracked vehicle 60 in Fig. 6.
- a grenade box 13 is supported on the tray of the utility while the roof supports the target acquisition sensors 51 and grenade dispensers 52 fired horizontally from the roof of the vehicle 50.
- the designated area contains permanent in-ground launching cases 70, each of which is adapted to receive removable inserts 71 of multiple projectile barrels to suit the particular purpose.
- the projectiles may contain air burst grenades adapted to explode several metres above the ground for use as antipersonnel defences.
- the projectiles may be adapted to explode at a higher level for anti-aircraft defence.
- the in-ground cases are installed permanently and are armed or disarmed as required by inserting or removing the removable barrel insert.
- each in-ground case includes transmission means for remote control of an inserted barrel.
- manned stations may be provided to override the automatic controls and as illustrated in Fig. 8, the ground control may have a screen 80 for video surveillance cameras which monitor the designated area and suitable control means 81 which enables an operator to highlight the visible area in the screen where troops or vehicles are intruding for automatic firing of the barrel which will target those areas.
- the screen may include rate of fire, area of fire, density of fire and duration of fire or other controls such as type of round to be despatched to the targeted zone.
- the rounds may be delivered from pods supported by aircraft provided with remote control from the minefield sensors such that a manned or unmanned aircraft may deliver the grenades or other grounds to the target zone indicated by the monitoring means.
- Figs. 9 and 10 illustrate how a plane and/or a helicopter may be used to support the weapons for discharging a fixed array of rounds onto a target zone.
- the grenade box 90 may be of a cylindrical form provided with barrels radiating from a central control core which may be either mounted on the ground or dropped by a parachute but again with control from the monitoring means so that the rounds may be despatched to the designated target zone.
- Each barrel assembly may have multiple grenade carrying projectiles of substantially known form loaded in rifled barrels to impart spin upon firing for activating the arming device.
- loading of the projectiles forms wedge type seals at the leading and trailing ends of the sleeve 118 while firing releases the leading seal but maintains an operative seal at the rear end of the sleeve.
- the pressure projecting the projectile is relative low, in the order of 3000 psi, only minimal sealing is required.
- Fig. 12 lists typical weapons which may be used with the present invention indicating range, the number of simultaneous rounds which may be despatched, the maximum rate of fire, the total number of rounds per weapon, the envisaged overall dimensions and envisaged overall weight.
