DEVICE USED TO CONTROL THE MODES OF FIRING OF ELECTROINITIATED CHARGES Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: systems of electronic control of firing of weapon containing electrical initiators. SUBSTANCE: the device used to control the modes of firing of electroinitiated charges uses power source 1 coupled via electric circuits to electrical initiators 2, selector switch 3, programmed pulse shaper 4, pulse counter 5, code translator 6, electronic switches 7 and triggering unit 8. Units 4,5,6,7 are series-connected. Triggering unit 8 is connected to power source 1 and selector switch 3. The outputs of triggering unit 8 are connected to units 4,5,6,7 to feed the supply voltage to electrical initiators 2, to set the initial state of units 4,5 and to record the code of the number of triggerings of electrical initiators 2. Programmed pulse shaper 4 is made with a controlled pulse repetition frequency and furnished with second selector switch 9 for setting the number of pulses in a pulse burst. Code translator 6 is coupled via N electric circuits, where N - the number of electrical initiators 2, to electronic switches 7, which have N+1 electric circuits at the output for connection to the contacts of electrical initiators 2 of charges 10. Probable specific versions of code translator 6 are given. The circuitry may comprise a protective unit of electronic switches 7, analysis circuit for determining the state of electrical initiators 2 and salvo fire code translator. EFFECT: improved design. 11 cl, 6 dwg
