METHOD FOR BEAM GUIDANCE OF MISSILES AND SYSTEM FOR ITS REALIZATION Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: development of missile guidance systems, applicable in anti-tank and aircraft missile complexes.

SUBSTANCE: the known method for guidance consists in formation of modulated laser radiation with variation of the beam angular dimension according to a program, shooting of the missile in the beam, reception by the missile control equipment of radiation and transformation of it to an electric signal of control of the control surfaces, additional operations are introduced: after a definite time interval the second missile is shot in the beam, and the program of variation of the beam angular dimension is started at the instant of launch of the second missile, the time interval between the launches of missiles is determined from the condition determined by the preset mathematical expression. The guidance system realizing this method differs from the known one, which has a sight consisting of series-connected source of modulated laser radiation and optical system with a variable focal distance, missile launching system, the sight is made for connection by optical communication to the first input of the control equipment of the first missile, the output of the missile launching system is connected to the second input of the control equipment of the first missile by the fact that it is provided with a delay unit, whose input is connected to the output of the missile launching system, and the output is connected to the second input of the control system of the second guided missile and to the second input of the optical system with a variable focal distance. The sight is made for connection by optical communication to the first input of the control equipment of the second missile.

EFFECT: provided simultaneous guidance of two missiles in one beam, which enhancer the efficiency of the complexes at destruction of an extra-important target.
