Description

The pseudo-simulator of the launch complex, hereinafter referred to as the complex, refers to rocket technology, namely to sea-based military missile launch complexes. The complex is autonomous, secretive, mobile and underwater, provides the launch of ballistic or cruise missiles capable of carrying a nuclear charge or damaging elements to suppress anti-ballistic missile defense (ABM) systems. The complex can serve as a beacon for the orientation of submarines and simulate a submarine.

Known ground-based missile systems http://www.modernarmy.ru/article/125. But they are available for satellite reconnaissance, and therefore there is a need to hide them, for example, by the well-known ″ Masking Method ... ″ (RF patent No. 2413160). Air-based missile systems are known http://nvo.ng.ru/concepts/2011-03-11/3_mbr.html, but on missile defense radars, nuclear missile carriers are also visible and, of course, will be attacked. Water-based missile systems are known: above-water ″ Sea Launch ″ http://aviapanorama.su/1996/12/raketno-kosmicheskij-kompleks-morskoj-start, underwater ″ Typhoon ″ http://rbase.new-factoria.ru/missile /wobb/r39/r39.shtml and others. Such complexes are installed on platforms, ships and boats of a certain type, so their movement is monitored. When the first missile is launched, the submarine becomes vulnerable and may not have time to release the remaining set of missiles, even from an underwater position. Known deployed on submarines cruise missiles ″ Granite ″ http://rbase.new-factoria.ru/missile/wobb/granit/granit.shtml, which are also subject to attack.

A common drawback of existing missile systems is the possibility of their detection and destruction at the time of a “sudden” strike, in preparation for launches and immediately after the first launches.

Known devices or constructions of false targets http://www.minotor-service.com/en/imt-72-tactical-decoy.html for simulating real objects, but they are not used to simulate submarines and launch complexes. Known missiles ″ air-to-air ″ and ″ air-to-surface ″ http://www.dogswar.ru/armii-mira/vooryjenie/4920-novye-obrazcy-raketn.html, launched from aircraft, but they are not used from the head parts of missiles to destroy missile defense elements.

As a prototype, consider the well-known marine space-rocket system ″ Surf ″ in the lock chamber of the ship ″ Ivan Rogov ″ http://makeyev.msk.ru/pub/msys/1994/Priboj.html. Here, the launch of the rocket occurs as follows: filling the local chamber with water, dumping the melting anchor, breeding bandages, and the rocket ascending; rocket evacuation from a ship; uncoupling of the melt, filling the ballast tank; rocket verticalization; creating a gas cavity; starting engine; rocket exit from the water.

The disadvantages of the prototype include the fact that the ship “Ivan Rogov ″ is a military surface amphibious assault ship, and the possibility of ballistic missiles on board suggests that its location is being monitored, and therefore this ship will be attacked in the first place. The evacuation of the rocket and its preparation for launch takes a long time, while the rocket will be relatively close to the ship and, most likely, when attacking the ship, the launch of the rocket will be impossible.

The proposed complex eliminates these shortcomings. The claimed invention solves the main problem: ensuring the secrecy of the launch complex. The complex also solves additional tasks: autonomy of launching missiles at a considerable distance from the transport vehicle and after considerable periods of time after undocking from the transport vehicle; imitation of a submarine; acting as a radio or sonar beacon to orient submarines in an underwater position; protection of intercontinental ballistic missiles at the end of the flight path.

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that the construction of the complex consists of a waterproof module with a transport-launch container with a rocket placed in it. The module is moved by cargo, fishing or any other, incl. a submarine, hereinafter referred to as a transport ship, in underwater and surface positions, on deck or inside the hull of a transport ship. At the required time, the module is separated from the transport vehicle and becomes autonomous. In this case, an imitation of a submarine is created, everything else: a launch complex, a missile launch, a missile with a warhead are real. The head part can carry not only a nuclear charge, a feature of the invention is the ability to carry striking elements to destroy missile defense elements of a potential adversary to protect other warheads, for example, carrying a nuclear charge and launched by other launch complexes.

The technical result will be to ensure the secrecy of mobile launch complexes before surfacing. It will also be possible to simulate a submarine, provide its own orientation in space after ascent, and orient submarines in a submerged position; protect other missiles.

Figure 1 shows the module of the complex in a horizontal position.

The pressurized hull 1 in the bow has an airtight hatch 2. Inside the hull 1, a transport and launch device 3 is mounted with a missile 4 mounted and fixed on it. Outside the hull, ring bow ballast tanks 5 and stern 6 are fixed, compartments for equipment are upper 7 and lower 8 s the equipment fixed in them (including for orientation in space, a radio transmitter, batteries, an engine with a screw connected, pumps for blowing ballast tanks, pumping the simulator and pyro charges are not shown in the drawing), also onteynery 9 simulators with lockable hatches and imitators.

Figure 2 is a view of the module of figure 1 from the bow. Annular ballast tanks consist of insulated compartments 10, 11, 12 and 13.

Figure 3 - rocket 4 of the main elements sequentially fixed to each other: the first stage 14 with an engine nozzle, the second stage 15, the head part 16 with a compartment 17 for equipment and a parachute, a fairing 18 and striking elements 19.

Figure 4 is a view of the nose of the rocket without a fairing.

Figure 5 - dry cargo ship or any other, mainly non-military, vessel 20 transports modules 21 in various ways: on deck, tows for fastening nodes 22 on the hull or cable 23.

In Fig.6 - modules 21 are placed in a special compartment 24 of the vessel or submarine (sectional view is shown). Hatches 25 are located on each side of the compartment below the water level and are not visible from the outside. When they are opened, the modules 21 can leave the compartment 24 due to their own weight, using the device 26 and the ballast in the annular ballast tanks of the modules 21.

In Fig.7, 8, 9 - the position of the module when changing position from horizontal underwater to vertical above water. This is achieved by blowing the bow ballast tank.

Figure 10 and 11 - the extension of the containers 9 for simulators in the expanded position in figure 11.

In Fig.12 - a module with an open (inflated) simulator of a submarine 27, deployed antennas 28, an open hatch 2. The complex is in a prelaunch position.

In Fig.13 - the head part 16 in a horizontal position, parachuted 29.

On Fig - the head part 16 with the deployed glider 30.

On Fig - the head part 16 in a vertical position, launched in a balloon 31.

Fig. 16 is a diagram where complexes with submarine simulators 27 provide protection for a warhead 32 from a missile launched by a submarine in an underwater position from point 33, the coordinates of which are determined from the coordinates of simulators 27. The warhead 32 flies to target 34. The complexes launch missiles as follows so that the warheads of the missiles fly up and barrage by parachute 29, glider 30 and balloon 31 above the corresponding sections 35, 36, 37 of the missile defense zone at the time of flight over these sections of the warhead 32 to protect it and counter the missile defense.

Transportation and separation from the ship-transport

Module 21 with a closed hatch 2 can be transported by transport ship 20 in various ways: on the upper deck, in the underwater position (Fig. 5) and / or inside the hull of the transport ship, incl. submarine (Fig.6).

When transporting on the upper deck, screens, covers, or similar unmasking materials must be used to ensure the modules are hidden. For loading and unloading requires special cranes on the upper deck.

In underwater transportation, a cable 26, ropes, a rigid coupler, fastening nodes 21 or similar devices are used. To reduce heel (module rotation around its longitudinal axis), it is advisable not to fill the compartments of 11 ballast tanks with water, and the required immersion depth is achieved by filling the compartments 10 and at the same time 12 and 13 of the annular ballast tanks 5 and 6 (figure 2).

When using a special compartment 24 to separate the module, hatches 25 are used, which are located below the waterline in order to ensure their invisibility. Outboard water is filled in compartment 24, and models 21 can escape from the special compartment through hatches thanks to gravity and device 26 with supporting supports similar to those used for launching ships on water. Here, the use of ballast tanks is similar to the previous embodiment. The module can be separated both immediately before the launch of the rocket, and in advance. If necessary, the module can be climbed by a transport ship for maintenance, prophylaxis or repair.

Autonomous swimming or parking - on duty

After separation from the carrier ship, the module is ″ on duty ″ in autonomous navigation or at a stand, mainly in an underwater position in order to ensure stealth, the depth of immersion of the module will depend on the strength and tightness of the module (Fig. 7). Autonomous navigation can be carried out only if necessary and thanks to the screw and engine fixed to the module (known and not shown and not described in the drawings). For parking, use an anchor on a winch mounted on the module (also not described), in this case it is advisable to have a coating on the outer surface of the module to protect it from detection. Communication with the module and its control can be carried out remotely from the carrier ship, other ships, satellites, aircraft, etc. using equipment located in the equipment compartments 7 and 8. In addition, the module can be controlled according to a predefined program ( am).

Preparing to launch with a simulated submarine

To start the module is gradually transferred from a horizontal position to a vertical one (Figs. 8 and 9). This is achieved by blowing the bow ballast tanks 5 and filling the outboard tanks 6 with overboard water. When using the anchor, its cable has the ability to unwind from the winch. After translating into a vertical surface position, containers 9 for simulators are advanced to the deployed position (Fig. 11). Then the hatches of the containers are opened and the simulator is inflated with air pumps or pyrotechnic devices. Simulators are made from elastic materials, rubber, polymers or the like. The shape, dimensions, coating and color of the simulator provide similarities to a submarine, while the simulator may consist of several blocks connected in series. It is advisable that different modules have similarities with different types of boats, because simulators of only one type of boat are much faster to identify. So begins the imitation of a submarine that emerged to launch missiles. Next, the pseudo-submarine will conduct orientation on the ground, deployed antennas 28 emit signals from a radio transmitter similar to those used on this type of boat, and the engine starts, which, by rotating the screw, creates hydroacoustic noise similar to the noise of the screws of a simulated submarine. The pseudo-submarine performs another task: giving out hydroacoustic noise and radio signals with encoded coordinates of its location, it becomes a beacon for orienting other, real submarines in underwater position. If there are 2 or more pseudo-submarines, then the orientation of the submarines will be more accurate.

Launching a rocket - calling fire on yourself

After opening the hatch 2, the rocket is launched. The rocket exit is preferably carried out using a mortar method, because the flame of the engine of the first stage 14 can damage the simulator, which must be maintained to simulate the boat and distract missile defense systems. Missile launches are fixed by missile defense systems and the pseudo-submarine will be destroyed to prevent launches of other missiles, which use the corresponding missile defense resources.

Missile and striking elements

The missile is used mainly on solid fuel, but it is possible to use rockets on liquid fuel using additional containers for transporting fuel. To describe the invention, we define two options for Missiles:

Missiles of the type ″ A ″ - are designed to destroy important targets of the military and economic potential of the enemy on its territory, including with a nuclear charge. Missiles of the type ″ A ″ are similar to missiles used in the RT-2PM2 Topol-M or others, and are not described.

″ B ″ missiles - designed to support and protect ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles, including ″ A ″ missiles, hereinafter referred to as “escorted ICBMs”) launched by other launch complexes, stationary or mobile. Missiles of type ″ B ″ in the warhead 16 can carry several striking elements 19 at once, with the possibility of separating each from the warhead to carry out its own mission. The striking elements, depending on the task, are described in Table 1:

A task Striking element Destruction of missile defense missiles launched to destroy ″ followed by ICBMs ″ Air-to-air missiles Destruction of radar stations, radar systems and other missile defense systems Air-to-surface missiles Interference with missile defense Means for setting electronic and non-electronic interference and false targets

Damaging elements are known and are not described in detail. It is important to clarify the features of escort and protection ″ accompanied by ICBMs ″. To prevent a rapid fall and increase the time of barrage of the warhead over the corresponding section 35-37 of the missile defense zone, parachutes 29, folding structural elements of the airframe 30 or balloons 31, called barrage devices, which are folded together in the head part 16 are used together with missile defense control and monitoring equipment. The head part 16 may descend in a horizontal, vertical or inclined position, but with the possibility of releasing striking elements. The head part can carry both the same and different damaging elements, see table 1.

Missile flight and ICBM escort

It is known that the warheads of ″ escorted ICBMs ″ can go astray during the descent phase when approaching a target in a territory that has an ABM system. ″ B ″ type missiles provide protection for ″ escorted ICBMs ″ in this particular flight area. The flight parameters ″ followed by ICBM ″ and missiles ″ B ″ mutually agreed. It is advisable that a B-type missile fly up to its site 35-37 a little earlier than an “accompanied by ICBM ″ and could record the manifestation of the activity of missile defense systems and create interference. When approaching an ABM missile to destroy ″ followed by an ICBM ″, an air-to-air damaging element is released to destroy these missiles, and air-to-surface damaging elements are also released on radar and other objects of the ABM system.

In the presence of an extensive and saturated missile defense zone, it is possible to use several B-type missiles, as in series, when over the first section 35 of the missile defense zone the protection of the “accompanied by ICBMs” is carried out by the head part on a parachute 29, above section 36 - on a glider 30, above section 37 on - on ball 31, and in parallel, when in one section there will be several warheads of missiles of the type "B".

A variant of the complex with several interconnected modules in one pseudo-boat is possible. The present invention is a real starting complex and landmark beacon for submarines with the function of a pseudo submarine, the destruction of which will involve the resources and time necessary to destroy a real submarine. The appearance and surfacing of a large number of “submarines” offshore of the potential enemy, followed by missile launches, which in turn will protect real warheads, will create a significant “load” on the missile defense system, which will increase the likelihood of the maximum effect of using other missiles and launch complexes.

Hidden launch complexes with ″ short ″ range missiles without a nuclear charge and other weapons of mass destruction can be placed under water and not guarded, because self-destruction devices may be used in case of unauthorized lifting or opening. The creation and maintenance of such complexes is much cheaper than the cost of submarines. The proposed invention repeatedly expands the area of deployment of launching installations, bringing it closer to territorial waters or important targets of a potential enemy, and their use in combination with a small number of submarines and ground launch complexes can significantly increase the effectiveness of the latter, while damaging missile defense systems.

The technical result is achieved: the launch missile system is able to provide stealth mobile launch complex until ascent, simulate a submarine, provide its own orientation in space after ascent and orient submarines in an underwater position; protect other missiles.

All elements of the complex can be manufactured industrially.
