METHOD AND DEVICE FOR GUIDED MISSILE TAKE-OFF FROM TRANSPORT-LAUNCHING PACK Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: rocketry, in particular, launchers of anti-shipping and anti-aircraft guided missiles.

SUBSTANCE: the device has an acceleration engine installation of the missile and orientation control aids (hereinafter referred to as OCA). The OCA are made in the form of impulse solid-propellant jet engines mounted on a case separable from the missile. The acceleration engine installation is made up of two parallely installed rocket engines of high and low thrust. The OCA case is installed on the nose section of the missile and provided with impulse solid-propellant tilting jet provided with impulse solid-propellant tilting jet engines. A surface take-off is accomplished by starting of the acceleration engine installation in the low thrust conditions in the process of missile motion in the pack. The orientation control aids get actuated according to the preset time from the beginning of missile motion. For separation of the passive mass of the orientation control aids a momentum in the direction of missile motion is imparted to it, after that the high thrust regime of the acceleration engine installation is actuated. In case of a take-off at a small angle to the horizon missile orientation is accomplished by a heading turn of the pack in the direction of the target, and separation of the passive mass of the orientation control aids is performed in the process of missile motion in the pack. An underwater take-off is accomplished by starting of the acceleration engine installation at a passage of the pack shearing by the missile. The OCA is actuated after the missile leaves the water.

EFFECT: provided take-off of missiles from various carriers.
