METHOD FOR COCKING OF GUIDED MISSILE ON-BOARD SYSTEM AND DEVICE FOR ITS REALIZATION Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F42B15/01 

FIELD: military equipment, in particular, systems of guided weapon and rocketry with homing heads, applicable in artillery guided missiles with homing heads.

SUBSTANCE: at development, test of guided missiles, as well as in combat conditions in case of an incorrect exit to operation of the homing head the flight of the guided missile in the terminal trajectory leg will proceed without homing guidance, as a result, the fall point will be poorly predicted. Such a situation will result in an enhanced danger of the guided missile, since at tests the guided missile may come out of the zone of authorized operations, as well as in a destruction of awn objectives in combat conditions. According to the invention, at a missile take-off the clockwork mechanism of the missile control system is started, the an-board equipment power supply battery is cocked, the inertial gyroscope is uncaged. On expiration of time t1 set in the clockwork mechanism the homing head power supply batteries are cocked. At an exit to the operating mode of one of the homing head power supply batteries the nose unit is jettisoned, thereby opening the entrance pupil of the homing head on expiration of time t2 set in the clockwork mechanism. The parameters of the homing head are registered, compared with the preset values, at a negative result of the comparison of the registered parameters the control signal of reduction in the vertical coordinate of the control actuator is normalized, which provides an urgent bringing of the guided missile to the ground surface, time t2 is set as a time sufficient for bringing the homing head to the operating condition and yield of its parameters to the preset made after cocking of the homing head power supply batteries, but less than the time of the expected target lock-on.

EFFECT: prevented emergency situation, enhanced safety of use of the guided missiles.
