AERODYNAMIC CANARD CONFIGURATION MISSILE AND METHODS OF APPLICATION Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F42B15/00 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: proposed invention is related to missile armament and particularly to controllable missiles above water, deserts and other flat surfaces. Missile consists of guidance system, warhead and engine with upper air inlet, mating unit with delivery vehicle, main folding wings with ailerons, and fins with rudder and front horizontal guiding wheels. After start-up, missile is pushed down to 15 m. While controlling height and underlying surface parameters by altimeter, missile is transferred to small height trajectory area and flight is continued in display mode at the same height until target is destructed. Invention ensures high concealment of missile guidance using natural background disturbances of underlying surface and as a result, high probability of target destruction.

EFFECT: high probability of target destruction due to improvement of missile guidance concealment.
