Also known is a device for protecting a submarine from a mine-torpedo, which is used from the tube of a torpedo tube and allows the launch of rockets in the probable area of the attacking torpedo (AC RU No. 2214942 from 27.10.2003, IPC: B63G 9/02). The device with a set of rockets is fired from the submarine's torpedo tube and directed to the calculated meeting point with a container or a torpedo launched from a container. At the design point, rockets are launched from a self-transporting device and a curtain of explosions of explosive charges contained in the warheads of rockets is formed. If the torpedo is not hit by the explosions of rockets and the torpedo mine approaches the submarine at a distance of 300-400 m, (AC RU No. 2474512 of 27.10.2013, IPC F42B 19/00), the sounding signal of the homing system of the torpedo mine is re-emitted in the direction of the torpedo from using a movable hydroacoustic transceiver, while the transceiver is installed at a distance of about 200-250 m from the submarine. The disadvantage of the known device is that its effective use is limited by the small time available for the use of hydroacoustic countermeasures and the creation of additional difficulties for the use of their own hydroacoustic means.

The closest in technical essence to the claimed invention, selected as a prototype, is an anti-torpedo device according to AC RU No. 2283793 from 20.09.2006, IPC B63G 9/02 (publ. 20.09.2006, bull. No. 26).

The known device contains a housing with stabilizer rudders and a data input connector, a main engine with an electric igniter, power supplies and on-board control devices, electrically connected to an electric igniter of the main engine, a warhead in which launching cups with rockets are placed in pairs, parallel and oppositely directed one to the other and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the device, and each rocket is equipped with a jet engine with an electric igniter, an explosive with an electric fuse, which is electrically connected to the on-board control devices and to the combat information and control system of the submarine, the warhead is made in the form of disks with central holes mounted on a shaft, which is installed along the longitudinal axis of the device, with the possibility of free rotation of each disk around the shaft, and each pair of launch nozzles with rockets, strictly defined numbers, is placed in its disk.

The disadvantage of the prototype is that it has insufficient effectiveness in protecting the submarine from aircraft torpedoes and torpedoes of anti-submarine missile systems. Detection of a splashed aircraft torpedo and a torpedo of an anti-submarine missile system occurs at a random course angle in the immediate vicinity of the submarine. In this case, due to the transience of the attack of a potential enemy and the uncertainty in the spatial position of the torpedo, it becomes impossible to calculate the size of the required area of destruction, set the disks with projectiles at the design angles of rotation, and launch the device from the torpedo tube in the right direction to form the curtain. In addition, due to the uncertainty of the area where the anti-torpedo device meets the circulating torpedo, the required number of shells to defeat the attacking torpedo turns out to be insufficient.

The technical problem to be solved by the invention is to increase the likelihood of hitting an anti-submarine torpedo.

The specified technical result, which makes it possible to solve the problem posed, consists in the fact that an anti-torpedo device equipped with a multifunctional hydroacoustic homing system is fired from the submarine's torpedo tube in azimuth at the detected attacking torpedo, in which a passive channel is aimed at the attacking torpedo, and the current distance and moment when the torpedo traverse the anti-torpedo device. At the moment the torpedo passes the traverse of the anti-torpedo device, rockets are launched into the calculated area, each of which is equipped with a combined fuse, which allows remote, non-contact or contact detonation of an explosive charge.

The essence of the claimed is illustrated by drawings, where figure 1 shows a diagram of the arrangement of blocks and assemblies of the anti-torpedo protection device, and figure 2 shows a diagram of information-power communication of blocks and assemblies, where:

1. Combat information control system of the submarine.

2. Data input device.

3. Software module with a central processor.

4. The engine of the anti-torpedo device.

5. Onboard control system.

6. Controls for the movement of the device.

7. Passive sonar channel.

8. Diagram of developing torpedo guidance angles.

9. High-frequency active hydroacoustic guidance channel.

10. Scheme for determining the current range to the torpedo.

11. Block for determining the traverse direction to the torpedo.

12. Scheme for determining the moment of launching shells.

13. Switch for launching shells.

14. Rocket projectile engine.

15. Starting glass.

16. Explosive charge.

17. Combined fuse.

The claimed is applied as follows:

On a submarine, a passive hydroacoustic channel, based on the noise emitted by the torpedo propellers and the signals from its homing equipment, determines the azimuth to the attacking torpedo, and in the submarine 1 combat information control system, they generate control commands for the operation of the anti-torpedo device, and with the help of the data input device 2, the generated commands are entered into program module 3, which determines the order of functioning of the units and blocks of the anti-torpedo device. After entering the data, the device is fired from the torpedo tube, the rocket engine 4 is started, with the help of the control system 5 and the controls 6, the device is directed to the likely location of the attacking torpedo. Commands for aiming the device at the attacking torpedo are generated by a passive hydroacoustic channel 7 and a guidance angles development circuit 8. The current range to the torpedo is measured using a high-frequency hydroacoustic channel 9 with a distance determination unit 10. Traverse distance determination unit 11, together with a scheme for determining the moment of projectile launch 12 and the control system 5 issues a command to the switch for starting the rocket projectile engines 13. The projectiles 14 are launched from the launch cups 15. The explosive charges 16 are detonated when one of the channels of the combined fuse 17 is triggered.

Thus, the presented description and drawings allow us to conclude that the claimed anti-torpedo protection device of a submarine has novelty, differing from the prototype by such essential features as firing an anti-torpedo device equipped with a multifunctional homing system from the submarine torpedo in azimuth at the attacking torpedo. which is aimed at the torpedo, determining the current distance to it and determining the moment of launching missile projectiles with combined fuses, providing remote, non-contact or contact detonation of warhead charges, which allows you to complete the task and conclude that there is an inventive step and industrial applicability.
