Description

The claimed technical solution relates to weapons, and in particular to means designed to provide firing in night and day conditions of man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS).

A known target designation system for a group of portable anti-aircraft missile systems according to the patent [1]. The system contains a portable electronic tablet, including a microelectronic terminal connected to the radio station to convert the telecode information received from the control points and display on the target location indicator with signs of state affiliation and target composition, individual target designation means, a telecode information receiver.

The disadvantages of the above system are:

- low information content, visibility and resolution of the displayed air situation;

- cumbersome user interface, suboptimal placement of components and, as a result, a large investment of time for moving, deploying (collapsing) the system;

- lack of automated target allocation;

- lack of automated topographic location;

- short range and the probability of visual detection of airborne objects;

- lack of training regimen;

- lack of accounting for operating hours, as well as noise immunity of the used communication lines.

At present, the 9C520 [2] and 9C933 (9C935) [3] automated command and control systems for the ground forces, airborne troops, and marines are adopted and operational in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

These automated control systems (ACS) have several disadvantages:

- a significant mass of products (taking into account the main armament of the anti-aircraft gunner is more than 50 kg);

- the use of predominantly wired communication channels within units, which leads to a significant complication of the process of preparation for work, reduced mobility and increased time to bring into a fighting position;

- the inability to use external power sources, which leads to a temporary limitation of the health of product elements;

- restrictions on the communication range between the anti-aircraft gunner and the squad leader, between the squad leader and the platoon commander;

- a large dependence of the range and quality of communication on the terrain;

- cumbersomeness and low information content of the device for receiving and displaying information;

- the impossibility of using the complex in the interests of other military specialists;

- limited battery life of units of anti-aircraft gunners;

- using only MANPADS as a fire control system, anti-aircraft artillery control is limited;

- a limited list of objects of interaction (command posts and radar (electronic stations)).

The closest analogue of the proposed technical solution is the method and device according to the patent [4].

This technical solution makes it possible to provide automated fire control by a MANPADS group and hit air targets in the daytime and at night.

The disadvantages of the known technical solutions are:

- lack of an optical communication channel between devices;

- low survivability of the device;

- large dimensions and complex device layout.

The presented analysis of the currently existing automation tools has shown a number of limitations that do not allow full-fledged control of anti-aircraft gunner units, which requires the creation of fundamentally new automation systems that take into account new functional and technical requirements for such systems.

The claimed invention allows to achieve the following technical results:

- to provide autonomous operation in the squad of up to 4 shooters or in the platoon on fiber optic communication lines with the ability to detect and destroy the target;

- provide reconnaissance of the air enemy and automated notification of higher command posts (CPS) about the escort of air objects (HE);

- provide voice guidance for the actions of the anti-aircraft gunner to detect, track and destroy targets;

- provide voice control of the computer and control of all functional elements of the automated control system of a portable anti-aircraft missile system (ASU MANPADS);

- to implement a combination of anti-aircraft gunner and squad leader on the same technical platform to ensure the survival of the unit;

- to carry out objective control of the actions of the anti-aircraft gunner and registration of information coming through communication channels;

- carry out documentation for subsequent analysis and reporting of hostilities.

The proposed method for providing firing of the MANPADS group is implemented by a device that includes an individual target designation facility (ISC), space-based topographic location equipment, sleeve information computer system (NIVS), a visualization device with safety glasses (UVZZO), and a battery pack (AB).

In the proposed method, computers are connected to the radio station, received and processed from control points for telecode information in the form of codograms, the location of targets with signs of state belonging to someone else is displayed on the indicator.

The computer is located in the sleeve information and computing system (NIVS) of an individual target designation tool (ISC) and provides autonomous operation as part of a department of up to 4 shooters or as part of a platoon via fiber optic communication lines. It also detects and destroys targets, conducts reconnaissance of the air enemy, automatically alerts the CPSU about escorting air targets, implements voice guidance for the actions of the anti-aircraft gunner to detect, track and destroy targets, voice controls the computer, controls all the functional elements of the anti-aircraft missile systems.

The combination of the anti-aircraft gunner and the squad leader on the same technical platform is being implemented. Objective control of the anti-aircraft gunner’s actions, registration of information coming through communication channels, documentation for subsequent analysis and reporting of military operations are carried out.

The effectiveness of the combat control of the anti-aircraft gunner’s squad is being enhanced due to the automated assignment of firing sectors, the concentration of fire on particularly dangerous targets and the coordination of hostilities.

Figure 1 shows the structural diagram of an individual means of target designation of the squad leader / anti-aircraft gunner.

To obtain this technical result, an individual visualization facility (ISC) of the squad commander and anti-aircraft gunner additionally includes a visualization device with goggles (UV-SZO) 1, which is connected to the sleeve information-computing system (NIVS) 2, which, in turn, connected to the battery pack (AB) 3. AB 3 is designed to form a supply voltage and is configured to provide hot-swappable batteries.

UVZZO 1 combines the functions of display, determination of the angle of heel, pitch and azimuthal direction of sight of the shooter.

NIVS 2 provides reception of information from a night vision device and broadcasts a combined image from it of a graphic picture synthesized by a central processor. NIVS 2 includes a computer-based computing unit, a navigation receiver.

An individual target designation tool for the squad leader (ISC) is designed to automate the combat control process of units equipped with MANPADS 6 and introduce visual reconnaissance of airspace.

The visualization device with goggles (UVZZO) 1 is designed to display graphical information generated on the NIVS 2, and determine the current spatial position of the anti-aircraft gunner using the built-in magnetic compass, and also acts as safety glasses when firing from MANPADS 6.

UVZZO 1 is located on the head of the anti-aircraft gunner, connected to the NIVS 2 and consists of goggles, a magnetic inertial compass and an indicator with an optical monocular system.

The indicator with an optical monocular system has brightness control and provides information display to the anti-aircraft gunner. Orientation system as part of UVZZO 1 is designed to solve the problem of spatial orientation:

- orientation angles of the line of sight in azimuth;

- orientation angles of the line of sight along the elevation.

The sleeve information and computing system (NIVS) 2 is a specialized computer with installed software and consists of a computing unit, a navigation receiver, a galvanically isolated interface for connecting communications, UVZZO 1, a remote control unit commander / remote anti-aircraft gun 4, headset 5, MANPADS 6 and two USB interfaces for connecting FLASH memory.

Patch information-computing system (NIVS) 2 provides:

- launch and operation of software that performs all the main tasks of the ISC;

- Convert voice information from an analog signal to digital and vice versa;

- the formation and issuance of graphical information at UVZZO 1;

- registration and further documentation of all voice and telecode information;

- connection to MANPADS 6 to obtain information about the descent of the rocket;

- determination of current coordinates by means of the integrated GLONAS / GPS satellite navigation system.

The anti-aircraft gunner’s remote control 4 is designed to control the ISC’s operating modes, promptly deliver reports and phases of hostilities, get in touch, enter settings, and switch graphic information display modes in UVZZO 1.

The battery pack (AB) 3 is designed to generate supply voltages for the ISC, to connect flash drives, a communication module 7 or a switching box 10 (KK2) in transit to the NIVS.

Headset 5 is connected to the NIVS 2 and is designed to provide two-way radiotelephone communications in the field.

The communication module 7 is made on the basis of the radio station R-187P1 and is designed to exchange information with the ISC of the commander of the department on the radio channel and receive current coordinates using the built-in navigation system GLONAS / GPS.

The switching box (КК2) 10 is designed to provide physical connection of the field cable for the exchange of digital information with the ISC of the squad leader.

The power supply unit (BP) 8 is designed to connect to an alternating voltage ~ 220 V and generate a constant voltage of 27 V to power the battery pack (AB) 3. The ISC can operate both from built-in batteries 3, and from BP 8 and alternative power sources 12.

Alternative power supplies 12 include:

- the on-board network of the car 13;

- battery 14;

- solar battery 16.

To connect alternative power sources, the ISC includes a charging and power unit from alternative power sources (BZPAIP) 9, which consists of connectors for connecting 27 V, 12 V, a generator and a solar battery.

BZPAIP 9, in addition to supplying the ISC from alternative power sources, can simultaneously charge up to 4 batteries, each of which is charged separately. Each battery has a charge indication.

The individual target designation tool of the squad leader differs from the individual target designation tool of the anti-aircraft gunner in that it is equipped with a switching box (KK1) 11.

The switching box (KK1) 11 provides the conversion of the information flow of data from NIVS 2, and provides the exchange of telecode information with the CPSU / radar via wired communication lines.

The remote control of the compartment commander 4 is designed to set the operating modes of the ISC of the compartment commander, operational control of subordinate anti-aircraft gunners, provide communication, enter settings, switch display modes of graphic information in UVZO 1 and on the remote control screen.

The remote commander of the compartment / anti-aircraft gunner 4 is fastened with belts to the wrist of a soldier and connected to the NIVS 2.

On the screen of the remote control unit commander 4 displays the air and ground conditions, commands and reports.

A device for implementing a method for providing automation of firing of portable anti-aircraft missile systems works as follows. After turning on the ISC anti-aircraft gunner and the commander of the department (Figure 1), the initial functional control of all the technical means of the ISC is carried out, which consists in interviewing the technical means on the condition and performance. The connection with the satellites is determined, the charge level of the battery pack 3. The results are displayed on the remote anti-aircraft gunner and the commander of the compartment 4.

After passing the functional control of the ISC, the anti-aircraft gunner and the squad leader, using the GLONASS or GPS satellite navigation system, receive their standing point anywhere in the world, at any given time. If there is no signal, the coordinates can be entered by the operator in the system of general geographical coordinates.

Depending on the communication scheme used (wired or radio), the communication channels are set up, the number of the anti-aircraft gunner is determined, and the communication with the squad leader is contacted.

After establishing communication with the ISC branch commander, the branch commander issues a reference point to the ISC anti-aircraft gunner, in response to the ISC anti-aircraft gunner gives the location coordinates, his condition and combat readiness.

If necessary, the ISC anti-aircraft gunner is adjusted and the amendment department commander is issued with the ISC.

After all of the above works, the ISC is ready for combat work and expects to receive combat command teams.

Information about the air situation at the ISC of the squad leader comes from the CPSU / radar and is summarized with the commander of the squad already available at the ISC.

The ISC of the squad leader can receive information from up to 40 air objects. The squad leader can select the number of dangerous targets displayed on the remote control screen; if necessary, all 40 targets that arrived via the communication channels can be displayed on the screen.

When a combat command command is received from the CPSU, it is displayed on the remote control of the squad commander 4 and after solving the corresponding combat command task, the necessary command is issued to the anti-aircraft gunner’s console 4 to perform the combat mission.

After receiving the ISC command, the anti-aircraft gunner reports on the receipt of the command and begins to work out the received command. As the team executes, the department commander receives reports on the stages of execution. If it is not possible to execute the command, the report of the refusal is issued to the commander of the squadron.

All reports received from the anti-aircraft gunner of the anti-aircraft gunner to the anti-aircraft gunner of the squad leader are transmitted to the CPSU.

When the “Destroy Destroy” command anti-aircraft gunner receives a target mark with characteristics (altitude, speed, range, course parameter, position in space) on the screen, calculations are made to show how to work on the target (MEET, ARCH), and information for guiding and launching a rocket. In the future, the anti-aircraft gunner must be azimuthally turned toward the target mark and, raising the level of view along the elevation angle, combine the sight mark and the target mark. Thus, the ISC anti-aircraft gunner displayed on the target. The actions of the anti-aircraft gunner to aim at the target and launch the missile are transmitted to the ISC of the squad leader in automatic mode. The results of combat work on the target (the target is destroyed, the goal is missed) is issued by the anti-aircraft gunner in manual mode.

When the anti-aircraft gunner receives a command for the “Prohibition of shooting” target at the ISC, all hostilities on the target cease.

In the training mode of the ISC, the anti-aircraft gunner and the ISC of the squad leader can work out the entire cycle of combat control both in the autonomous mode of training and in the integrated mode. Targets will be simulated in accordance with the trajectory and characteristics.

The software (software) for firing automation of portable anti-aircraft missile systems ensures its operation in combat mode and training mode.
