Definitions
- the invention relates to a heavyweight torpedo for launching into a body of water out of sight of a target with a parachute, a parachute torpedo linkage and a parachute solvent, as well as a transport spillway and an aircraft.
- Lightweight torpedoes launched from aircraft are spent in the vicinity of a particular dipped target to be destroyed and run the target controlled by the water on their own sensors. On the one hand, this means that the aircraft must approach very close to the target to be destroyed, since the range of the torpedoes used is not sufficient. Thus, generally only lightweight torpedoes are spent by aircraft or aircraft. In addition, it is generally necessary to mount special bomb shafts or mounts for such torpedoes on the aircraft. As a result, separate specialized delivery systems and their torpedoes infrastructure must be provided.
- the object of the invention is to improve the state of the art.
- the object is achieved by a heavyweight torpedo for launching into a waters out of sight of a target with a parachute, a parachute torpedo connection and a parachute solvent, wherein the parachute solvent is configured in two stages and the first stage by activating the parachute and the forces of the parachute initiated on the heavyweight torpedo and the second stage through the initiation of the first stage is put into an activation mode and the second stage comprises a detachment of the parachute.
- Such a heavyweight torpedo in contrast to previously used torpedoes, can be spent out of sight of a target and or very far from a target in a body of water.
- this is due to the fact that the heavy-weight torpedo has sufficient energy for the drive system and other systems, which ensures that the programmed target is achieved in particular by means of a high-precision waypoint navigation and the associated attack operation can be performed.
- modifications to a missile are not necessary.
- any special bomb shafts or other mechanical devices since such a heavyweight torpedo can be sold with conventional means of transport into the water.
- the risk is minimized that the aircraft, which spends the heavyweight torpedo, is destroyed during a mission. This is particularly the case because the aircraft can operate outside the visibility of the target to be destroyed.
- slow and / or difficult to maneuver transport aircraft or transport helicopters can be used, which can spend the heavyweight torpedo, for example, in a standard operating altitude of, for example, 50m or 100m above a water surface.
- the "heavyweight torpedo" or occasionally the heavyweight torpedo has a length of at least 4m, and the longer the distance from the drop point to the target to be destroyed, the longer the heavy weight torpedo can be configured While lightweight torpedoes of the prior art only have a length of between 1m to 3m and a diameter of 15cm to 20cm, a heavy weight torpedo generally has a diameter of greater than 45cm or even 60cm are given in inches ( '' ) and are in a heavyweight torpedo, for example, 19 '' or 21 '' .
- Decanting into a body of water means, in particular, the movement or discharge of the heavy-weight torpedo into a lake, river or sea out of an aircraft The location where this is done is referred to in particular as a drop-off point.
- Out of sight of a target means, in particular, that from the highest point of the target or, in the case of a submerged vehicle “from the water surface, the escorting aircraft can not be visually detected on a straight line, since the aircraft is in particular” behind " Typical deployment heights for such an aircraft are below 100, in particular below 50 m and in particular below 30 m.
- the "target” is, in particular, a vessel or other man-made structure on or in or below a body of water, in particular ships, submarines, platforms and the like.
- a "parachute” is understood to mean, in particular, a technical device which essentially spends the heavy-weight torpedo into the water from a settling height, in which case the integrity of the heavy-weight torpedo can successfully continue its use
- the parachute increases the air resistance or creates a dynamic buoyancy, which causes the
- a "parachute torpedo link” is a mechanical connection between the heavyweight torpedo and the parachute
- the parachute release means release this link to separate the parachute and the heavyweight torpedo.
- parachute solvent means that remove the parachute or act in such a way the operation of the parachute that the heavyweight torpedo without the retarding effect of the parachute use in or under water can continue substantially unhindered.
- the parachute release agents can be mechanically implemented, such as, for example, a mechanically removable bolt, or can also act due to chemical or electrical action or even by means of a blast.
- the parachute solvent may be passively formed such as by means of a predetermined breaking point which, when the torpedo is launched under water, causes the parachute to be "torn off.”
- the parachute solvent may be an explosive device which, in a defined manner, detaches the parachute or device connected to the parachute In particular, the first stage can "release" the predetermined breaking point so that in the second stage the predetermined breaking point breaks.
- a split pin can be arranged in the notch of a predetermined breaking point, which stabilizes the predetermined breaking point, so that the predetermined breaking point holds during the first stage and before activating the second stage, the split pin is removed, so that the predetermined breaking point breaks.
- the first stage deactivates any securing means, so that the separation of the parachute can be made only.
- the heavyweight torpedo includes a water entry detection means, wherein the parachute solvent and the
- Water entry detection means are arranged such that, when initiated first stage, the parachute solvent at a defined height above a water level, when a water contact of the torpedo, at a partial immersion of the torpedo or a submerged torpedo are activated.
- the parachute solvent can only be used when the heavyweight torpedo is spent or will be spent undamaged. Furthermore, depending on the position of the heavyweight torpedo certain
- the water entrance detection means detects a distance to a water surface or detects the contact with the water surface or can determine at which time at least parts of the torpedo are already immersed in the water.
- the "water level” or the “water surface” is the water level, averaged over time in particular, in which any wave movements have already been averaged.
- Partial submergence is particularly likely to occur when at least 5% and less than 95% of the torpedo volume is below the water level, with a total submerge being assumed to be 95% submerged.
- the water inlet detection means comprise a pressure sensor, a sonar, a conductivity sensor and / or a distance sensor.
- the pressure sensor can determine the height above the water level based on the determination of the air pressure.
- the discharge height was made available to the torpedo as the measured value during the discharge and the air pressure relevant for the height was determined in advance by the pressure sensor for calibration.
- an alternative pressure sensor can detect the penetration of the torpedo into the water due to the corresponding pressure load on a housing of heavyweight torpedoes.
- a pressure sensor may for example be designed as strain gauges, which determines such pressure changes by means of downstream electronics.
- the active sonar usually present in the heavy-weight torpedo in the bow can, for example, in the flight phase already emit a sound signal which is reflected by the water surface and determine height information due to the Doppler effect or the transceiver duration. In particular, the sonar can determine when it is immersed in the water, since this changes the characteristic behavior of the emitted sound.
- a conductivity sensor which detects, for example, the salinity of the water, can determine that parts of the torpedo are located in the water.
- the sonar can be used as a distance sensor and an optical system that evaluates, for example, a laser beam or an optical signal of a light emitting diode.
- altitude information from the aircraft in combination with a time measurement can also be used as a water inlet detection means.
- the parachute torpedoheck ingredient can be arranged so that the drive means experience the least mechanical stress when entering the water.
- the parachute is arranged in a collapsed state in a parachute cartridge.
- a torpedo can be provided with activated parachute.
- the parachute release means may release both the parachute itself and the parachute cartridge. It is sometimes extremely difficult to recover an already activated torpedo.
- an activated torpedo which has not yet been spent for use, may pose a danger.
- the heavy-weight torpedo can be set up in such a way that the heavy-weight torpedo is activated with or after an activation of the parachute, ie during or after the first stage.
- the activation of the heavy-weight torpedo comprises, in particular, the activation of the energy section, because in particular with the batteries used with the activation of a combination of different chemical substances takes place and it could possibly lead to overheating of a torpedo, if the torpedo is not sent on its mission mission ,
- the heavyweight torpedo has a data memory which has aircraft data, in particular aircraft navigation data.
- a heavy-weight torpedo needs the most accurate starting position and / or direction data.
- the torpedo may receive the position and / or direction data from the aircraft to start with that data as a fix and / or as an initial orientation.
- Parachute torpedo connection having a first predetermined breaking point and / or a second predetermined breaking point, wherein in particular the first predetermined breaking point in the initiation of the first stage and / or the second predetermined breaking point in Disconnecting the parachute breaks or breaks.
- one of the two predetermined breaking points or can both predetermined breaking points have a predetermined breaking point, for example in the form of a splint.
- the breaking point protection prevents in particular the breaking of the corresponding secured breaking point.
- a "predetermined breaking point” is generally in particular a design element provided by design and / or mechanical and / or physical measures or designs, particularly in case of overload, this element will deliberately and predictably fail, thereby minimizing possible damage in an overall system or A notch or scoring is often found at the planned fracture point, as the notch effect significantly weakens the component.
- the predetermined breaking point protection described above can be used as "securing means.”
- An electronic or electromechanical securing means is also included.
- the securing means may comprise a pin, in particular a split pin, which is destroyed or removed upon initiation of the first stage.
- the object is achieved by a transport chute for a transport aircraft for a heavyweight torpedo described above.
- the pin is connected to the transport chute.
- the pin After activating the parachute and thus the first stage, the pin remains on the transport spout and the second stage of activation is enabled.
- the object is achieved by an aircraft, in particular a transport aircraft, which has a previously described heavyweight torpedo or a previously described transport chute.
- a system can be provided which spends heavyweight torpedoes from the air into a body of water outside the sight of a target by means of a parachute.
- aircraft covers all flying equipment, such as transport aircraft or helicopters.
- the aircraft may have an apparent tailgate, on which, in an open state, the Heavyweight torpedo is deductible.
- the Herkules C130 and the Transall C160 have such an apparent tailgate.
- the aircraft has at least one data line which is connected to the heavy-weight torpedo for data exchange.
- navigation and / or mission data can still be transmitted to the heavyweight torpedo at a very late point in time.
