METHOD OF PROTECTION OF COMBAT VEHICLE AGAINST AIR ATTACK FACILITIES AND SYSTEM FOR ITS REALIZATION Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: armament and military equipment, in particular, protection of combat vehicle against air attack facilities, for instance, with the aid of machine-gun (gun) mounts. SUBSTANCE: the method consists in detection, tracking and determination of fire angular corrections, fire of machine-gun (gun) mounts with due account made for them, before calculation of angular corrections the rate of target closure with carrier (D) is determined, absolute muzzle velocity V₀₁ is calculated from mathematical expression, after which flight time t_fe and predicted range D_pr are found from mathematical expression, and then kinematic corrections (target and carrier movement lead angles) Δε, Δβ in the coordinate sight system are determined from mathematical expressions, and, in accordance with the calculated corrections during fire, the barrels of the machine-gun (gun) mounts are constantly deflected relative to the current position of the sight line. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of combat vehicle fire due to enhanced accuracy. 7 cl, 11 dwg
