Claims
1. An airship consisting of the following parts: a main balloon with ballonets, a gondola; it is an unmanned controlled low-observable electric rocket automated airship (BUMERAD) - a multifunctional tropospheric-stratospheric aircraft, characterized in that it consists of its functional parts: - the main cylinder 1 (controlled filling, two-section) is made in the form of a wing-like reverse sweep and variable geometry, for which it is equipped with a rigid frame 2 of the corresponding configuration, as well as ballonets 3 (controlled filling - with inert volatile gas He 4 ), performing the role of ailerons and additional lift functionalities; at the extreme points of the said wing-balloon, controlled rocket microengines 4 for active, highly maneuverable flight are installed; - gondola 5 (with external units 6 placed on it, containing devices for collecting and transmitting information, including communication antennas and video recorders) - inside it contains mini-tanks 7 of the fuel-oxidizer system (TOS) and the gas distribution system (GS) with an automated control unit 8 of the TOS and GS; a mini-electrolyzer 9 of water (the source of the main components of the TOS and the volatile filler of the main cylinder - hydrogen); on-board control unit 10 and power supply unit 11 (with batteries); payload 12; - external units 6 on the gondola 5 - devices for collecting and transmitting information; - the frame 2 of the main cylinder 1 of the BUMERAD device is made of tubes that perform the additional function of supplying gases (fuel to the micro-engines, volatile to cylinder 1 and ballonets 3) with controlled nozzles, and is also equipped with a network of cables for their control.
2. (BUMERAD-1) - a device according to paragraph 1, characterized in that for the afterburner mode during active (by means of microengines 4) flight, in the gondola 5 there are additional mini-tanks with an oxidizer (for example, fuming nitric acid) and a fuel (for example, synthin, decilin, etc.), applicable as additional (afterburner) components for the TOS; and also the surfaces of the wing-balloon 1 are covered with film panels of a solar battery, regularly powering the on-board power supply unit 11.
3. (BUMERAD-2) - a device of the described design according to paragraphs 1, 2, characterized in that, as part of the external units 6 and the payload 12, it is equipped with weapons applicable to the Air Force of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
4. (BUMERAD-3) - a device of the described design according to paragraphs 1, 3, characterized in that it is equipped with standard aviation electronic warfare equipment as armament.
5. (BUMERAD-4) - a device of the described design according to paragraphs 1, 3, characterized in that it is equipped with a standard bomb-throwing device and the corresponding ammunition (for example, a guided high-explosive aerial bomb) as armament.
6. (BUMERAD-5) - a device of the described design according to paragraphs 1, 2, characterized in that it is equipped with equipment for relaying network communications.
7. (BUMERAD-6) - a device of the described design according to paragraphs 1, 2, characterized in that it is equipped with equipment for collecting meteorological and geophysical scientific and applied information.
8. (BUMERAD-7) - a device of the described design according to paragraphs 1, 2, characterized in that in a permanent working state it is stationary positioned in the tropospheric layer by means of guy ropes 13 (at least three equally spaced from each other), the ends of which are secured in the soil with anchors; and also the power supply unit 11 of the BUMERAD-7 device is connected to a ground source (GS) 14 of electrical energy by means of a suspended flexible high-voltage power supply cable 15 (with multi-channel compacted wire connection) with a step-up transformer at the GS, a step-down transformer and a rectifier at the BUMERAD-7 power supply unit; and also - the nodes connecting the BUMERAD-7 with ground fastening elements (cables 13), power supply + communication (cable, pipelines) are equipped with automated electromechanical locks for emergency disconnection of the BUMERAD-7 from the ground infrastructure with transfer to its flight mode;and also - the BUMERAD-7 connection units of the ground fastening elements 13 and power supply + communication 15 are equipped with an additional donut-shaped cylinder 16 filled with volatile gas for the smooth lowering of these elements to the ground when they are disconnected from the aircraft.;
