METHOD OF GUIDANCE OF GUIDED MISSILE AND LAUNCHER Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: weapon guidance systems.

SUBSTANCE: method comprises setting the missile in the launcher, aiming the missile at the target, launching the missile, and generating and transmitting control signals to the board. Before launching, the reference current levels in the launching circuit and connection line and interruption time intervals are set. After generating command to launch, the current levels of current are compared with the reference ones, and when the current value exceeds the reference one the command to lunch is interrupted. The launcher comprises ground guidance system, launching mechanism, unit for limiting launching signal, and unit for limiting control command whose inputs are connected with the ground guidance system. The output of the unit for limiting control command is connected with the wire connection line, and the output of the unit for limiting launching signal is connected with the starting circuits of the guided missile. The unit for limiting starting signal comprises commutation unit for starting signal and unit for analyzing current in the launching circuit connected in series and unit for control of launching signal whose input is connected with the second output of the unit for analyzing current in the starting circuit and output is connected with the second input of the commutation unit for the starting signal. The first input of the commutation unit for the starting signal and the first output of the unit for analyzing current in the starting circuit are the input and output of the system, respectively.

EFFECT: enhanced reliability of the launcher.
