UNIVERSAL SUSPENDED COMBINATION TRAINING CORRECTABLE AERIAL BOMB Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: applicable in training flights in ordinary and restricted bad-weather conditions for training of pilots (navigators) in technique of use of correctable aerial bombs with infra-red imaging, television and laser homing heads. SUBSTANCE: the television homing head of a correctable aerial bomb has an information "radiation-to-signal" converter installed on a three-axis gyrostabilizer and including three information channels: a television channel, whose spectral sensitivity band corresponds to the far infra-red band of 8 to 14 μm,, television channel, whose spectral band includes an optical band of 0.4 to 0.74 μm and a near infra-red band of 0.74 to 1.1 μm, and a laser direction finder operating on a wave-length of 1.063 μm, and the fairing is made as a flat glass of zinc selenide, 15 to 20 mm thick, in the form of a square plate with a square side within 220 to 260 mm with chamfers on the square edges with a radius of 38 to 42 mm and inclined downwards to the axis of the training aerial bomb through an angle of 30 deg. The given universal suspended combination correctable training aerial bomb is of economical efficiency since it provides for several hundreds of take-offs-landings. Taking into account its low weight (85 kg), it is not released even at an emergency landing of the carrier aeroplane. EFFECT: provided twenty-four-hour training of pilot personnel of front-line aviation; considerably reduced expenses on training of pilot personnel of the Air Force in use of the most efficient weapon, high-accuracy correctable aerial bombs. 2 dwg
