OWN ARMOR HITTING PREVENTION DEVICE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F41H7/02 F41H13/00 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition;various armor weaponry systems.

SUBSTANCE: device performs automatic target identity recognition, blocks armor weaponry system firing at "own" armor, equipped with the same device, notifies the crew of aiming to the armor by weaponry, equipped with laser range-finder, and of direction the aiming is performed from. The device comprises laser range-finder, laser range-finder emission scrambler, as well as response optical signal receiving and decoding channel, coupled with armor firing control system via shot blocking device. On armor surface the carrying basis is fixed, featuring integrated optical fiber system, input ends of which are distributed along the surface, whereas output ones are united into groups, and optically coupled with response photodetectors and response laser emitters. Between photodetector outputs and response laser emitter inputs, descramblers and response encryption devices are installed. Besides, photodetector and response descramblers are connected to indication device via coupler.

EFFECT: reliability increase.
