METHOD OF PROTECTION OF SUBMARINE AGAINST WIDE- BAND MINE-TORPEDO AND DEVICE FOR REALIZATION OF THIS METHOD Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: protection of submarines against torpedoes and mines, mainly wide-band torpedoes-mines. SUBSTANCE: at detection of wide-band mine-torpedo by sonar station, it is classified by means of combat information control system of submarine for generation of firing data. Then, escape maneuver is performed by changing submarine course or reversing and device with projectiles is fired and projectile are launched excluding non-destructed areas in volume of water space bounded by ellipsoid whose center is point of probable position of mine-torpedo before escape of torpedo from launching container. Device is fired before arrival of submarine to zone of destruction by mine- torpedo. Device proposed for realization of this method is located in torpedo tube. It includes case with rudders-stabilizers and data input connector. Mounted inside case are cruise engine with electric primer, power supply sources, on-board control instruments, warhead with launching sleeves where projectiles of definite numbers are located. Launching sleeves of projectiles are located in separate sections along longitudinal axis. Each projectile is provided with jet engine with electric primer which is electrically connected with on-board control instruments and explosive with electric fuse which is electrically connected with on- board control instruments. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of protection of submarine against wide-band mine-torpedo. 8 cl, 15 dwg, 2 tbl
