DEVICE FOR MISSILE LAUNCHING FROM HELICOPTER Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: sighting devices arranged on transport facilities, for instance on helicopters. SUBSTANCE: the device uses the operator's sight with attitude and angular-rate sensors of the sight line in two mutually orthogonal planes, missile launching signal generating unit connected to the sensors, "Launch" signal switch, missile launch circuit switch connected to the "Launch" signal switch and to the output of the missile launching signal generating unit, as well as operator's missile launch clearance indicator connected to the output of the missile launching signal generating unit, and indicator of sight line angular deviation relative to the longitudinal axis of the fixed launcher for the helicopter pilot connected to its second and third outputs. EFFECT: reduced time of alignment of the direction of the launcher axis with the direction of the sight line of the operator's optoelectronic sight. 3 cl, 3 dwg
