GUIDED MISSILE FIRING METHOD AND MISSILE TO IMPLEMENT IT Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F42B15/00 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition; military equipment.

SUBSTANCE: according to the invention, missile is guided to target tracking line at acceleration, which is performed in two stages using start-up engines, disengaged after their work is finished. Guided missile acceleration and steering to target tracking line is performed in the first stage using high power main jet engine, the secondary engine is switched on only after the main engine work is finished. At that, the main and secondary engines are disengaged simultaneously - after the secondary engine work is finished. The method is implemented using a guided missile, which contains disengageable start-up engine with a touchdown receptacle on front end face, hosting main propulsion stage with plunger, equipped with skirt, covering the rear end of stage, and a thrust on front end face of the touchdown receptacle. The missile also contains secondary engine, which is installed within the case of disengageable start-up engine. A circular cavity is done in the front part of touchdown receptacle, behind the thrust; the latter is equipped with cone ledge, protruding to circular cavity, at that, chamfer is made along the front end of plunger skirt, on the inner surface. Electroignitor is located in plunger partition; the ignitor is electrically connected to main propulsion stage. Behind the rear wall of the plunger partition a powder charge of quick-burning propellant is set.

EFFECT: missile combat efficiency increase, guided missile reliability increase.
