Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of military technology, specifically to guided projectiles and missiles, and can be used in the development of guided projectiles and missiles. Background Art

[0002] The following domestic surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) are known: 1Д...22Д, В-800, В-850, В-1000, 5Я23, 5Я26, 5Я27, 5В21, 5В24, 5В27, 5В28, 5В29, 5В55, 48Н6, 9МЗЗ, 9М330, 9М331, 4К60, 4К90, 4К91, 5В61, 51Т6, 53Т6, 55Т6, and foreign missiles RIM-7, RIM-66C, M, RIM-67C, RIM-116A, RIM-156A, RIM-162, RIM-300, Aster-15, 30, Sea Dart Mk2, HQ-65, Masurca, Sea Wolf VL, Sea Strike, MIKA-VL.

[0003] The relevant technical content of these missiles is recorded in the following documents with different degrees of publicity: "History of Aviation Weapons" (Minsk, 1999), "Torch Missile" (Moscow, Design Bureau "Torch" of Academician P.D. Grushin, 2003), "Analysis and Review of Naval Shipbuilding and Weaponry" No. 3(152) (Naval Military Education and Research Center "Naval Academy named after Admiral of the Soviet Navy N.G. Kuznetsov", St. Petersburg, 2013), "Surface-to-Air Missiles" (Russian Weaponry, 2010), and http: / / military.russia.ru, http: / / pvo.guns.ru, also seen in "Air Defense Missile Design" (Moscow: Moscow Aviation Institute, 1999), "Wings of the Motherland", No. 8, 1993, "Technology and Weaponry. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow..." No. 5-6, 1999 and other publications.

[0004] The main feature of all existing surface-to-air missiles is that a specially designed dedicated launcher is used to carry out the launch operation of this type of missile.

[0005] The technical solution for realizing the sharing of launchers by multiple types of missiles for the first time is seen in the 5П85Е and 51П6Е launchers configured in the 35Р6Е and 40Р6Е systems. The technical feasibility stems from the fact that the 48Н6Е, 48Н6Е2, 48Н6Е3, and 40Н6Е missiles are all improved models of the 5В55Е missile, mainly upgrading the on-board equipment. The above-mentioned missiles adopt a unified aerodynamic layout design, have similar mass and dimension characteristics, and use the same transportation and launch tube (TLC) and launch mechanism design scheme, thus enabling them to be launched from the same launch tube.

[0006] The 9M334E launcher, as the closest prior art to the present invention, uses a single unit containing four 9M330E (9M331E) missiles. This missile was developed specifically for the Tor missile system. This launcher is used to increase the reload speed of the missile system launcher. However, whether loaded singly or as part of a canister, the missile can be installed in the installation position of the missile system launcher and ensure the normal operation of the missile system regardless of the selected loading method.

[0007] The drawbacks of this prototype invention are that: whether in the form of canister loading or single loading, it is limited to using a single type of missile and must be equipped with a special launcher dedicated to this type of missile.

[0008] The currently developed 9M96E and 9M96E2 missiles have performance parameters similar to those of the 48Н6Е (E2, E3) series of missiles. However, after using modern components, the weight and volume of this type of missile are reduced to 1 / 4 to 1 / 5 of the original model. This missile was developed specifically for the 3K96E missile system, and during its R & D process, no consideration was given to adapting to the 35Р6E and 40Р6E missile systems and their supporting launchers such as the 5П85E and 51П6E.

[0009] The common feature of the prototype (9M334E launcher) and the object of the present invention, the 9M96E2-2 launcher, is that both use a mechanical device that can assemble four surface-to-air missiles in a single installation module.

[0010] The present invention aims to achieve the adaptation and installation of the 9M96E(2) surface-to-air missile of the 3K96E missile system on the 5П85E and 51П6E launchers of the 35Р6E and 40Р6E missile systems through the 82Ц6E technical maintenance equipment and ensure its normal launch function.

[0016] - The 9M96E2-2 launcher is designed to provide an external connector with a similar design, dimensions, and position to the external connectors of the 5B55E, 48H6E (E2, E3), and 40H6E missile TLCs;

[0017] - The external connector of the TLC of the 9M96E(2) missile is connected to the external connector of the 9M96E2-2 launcher through a switching device, which includes: a multiplexing channel splitter for transmitting launcher information to the 4 missiles in the 9M96E2-2 launcher, and a patch panel for conditionally setting the missile numbers in the system (35P6E or 40P6E) for the missiles in the specified 9M96E2-2 launcher through jumpers.

[0018] The positive effects produced by the technical solution of the present invention are as follows: By using the 82Ц6E technical maintenance equipment, the 9M96E(2) surface-to-air missiles of the 3K96E missile system can be adapted and installed on the 5П85E and 51П6E launchers of the 35P6E and 40P6E missile systems, thereby increasing the ammunition base of the 35P6E and 40P6E missile systems by 4 times.
