GUIDED MISSILE FIRING TECHNIQUE WITH USE OF VISUAL OBSERVATION OVER MISSILE WITH USE OF LUMINOUS RADIATION AND GUIDED MISSILE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: military equipment to fire guided missiles. SUBSTANCE: guided missile firing technique consists in firing of missile from barrel of recoilless gun under pressure of powder gases and in its guidance on target with determination of position of missile on trajectory by electric light radiator with reflector. Part of powder gases of propelling charge in barrel of recoilless gun is throttled after firing into receiver space and is directed along rear surface of reflector to heat uniformly entire surface of reflector to above-zero temperature in the course of missile motion through barrel under all temperature conditions of firing. Guided missile carrying light radiator with reflector is equipped with screen possessing outlet hole and installed with clearance with reference to reflector. Entrance to clearance from side of space behind missile is formed by throttling holes oriented towards receiver space, exit from this space is formed by symmetrical holes in cylindrical protrusion of screen which axes are perpendicular to axis of optical reflector and are directed on to its rear surface. Clearance between reflector and screen varies in section increasing towards outlet hole in screen. EFFECT: increased accuracy and efficiency of target hitting. 2 cl, 2 dwg
