METHOD TO START A GUIDED MISSILE AND A GUIDED MISSILE FOR ITS REALIZATION Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: defense industry; production of guided missiles.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is dealt with the field of rocketry and may be used in air-defense guided-missile systems. The invention provides, that the start of a guided missile is conducted by switching on its main jet engine on the launcher. At the moment of departure of the guided missile from the launcher the missile is rotated around of its own center of mass in a plane passing through a target sighting line, at the expense of creation of a lateral pulse by the padding engine. Guidance at a target begins from the moment of registration by the ground control system of radiation from a plume of the missile main jet engine. At that the thrust of the main jet engine to the moment of guidance initiation is magnified up to its peak value. The guided missile is supplied with the padding engine installed so, that its thrust direction should cross the missile longitudinal axis in the point, shifted in respect to the center of the missile masses and with a device to delay actuation of the padding engine, that is electrically connected with the missile guidance control system. The technical result of the invention is an increase of efficiency of fire.

EFFECT: the invention allows to increase efficiency of fire.
