SHIP-BASED MISSILE GUIDANCE SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: missile guidance systems, applicable for guidance of missiles launched from sea carriers, for instance, from boats. SUBSTANCE: system has a sight with sensors of angular rate and angular position of the sighting line in two mutually orthogonal planes, guidance unit forming the guidance commands depending on the missile deviation with an on-board source of radiation relative to the sighting line, launcher, device for transmission of guidance commands to the missile, unit for formation of guidance commands in the initial trajectory leg, a timer. The system has also a switch for connection of the inputs of the device for transmission of guidance commands to the missile to the outputs of the guidance unit or unit for formation of guidance commands in the initial trajectory leg, and a missile launch sensor. The unit for formation of guidance commands in the initial trajectory leg is connected to the outputs of the sensors of angular rate and angular position of the sighting line in two mutually orthogonal planes, the first and second switch inputs are connected to the guidance unit, its third and fourth inputs are connected to the unit for formation of guidance commands in the initial trajectory leg, and outputs - to the device for transmission of guidance commands to the missile, the missile launch sensor is connected to the fifth input of the switch via the timer. EFFECT: reduced minimum range of fire. 4 dwg
