METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUS HOMING OF MISSILES TELEORIENTED IN CONTROL BEAM (VERSIONS) AND HOMING SYSTEM FOR ITS REALISATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC F41G7/26 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: versions of methods for simultaneous homing of missiles teleoriented in a beam include generation of a control beam, matching of its optical axis with a line of target sighting, narrowing of the control beam with provision of permanence of its diameter at the range of missiles flight, generation of signals proportionate to deviation of missiles from the optical axis of the control beam and generation of commands of missiles control. In the first version of the method the value of missiles separation in flight is maintained as permanent within the entire flight time, thus preserving mutual spacing of missiles before target damage. In the second version at first the distance to the target is measured, and time of missile flight to the target is forecasted, and in the final section of homing at the moment determined by the difference of the forecasted value of missile flight time to the target and the time of transition process of the missile control circuit, the signals of spacing are reduced by absolute value to the value corresponding to the residual mutual spacing of missiles that is not lower than maximum dimensions of the missile in the plane perpendicular to its longitudinal axis.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of target damage when firing with a salvo of controlled missiles with reduction of probability of missiles collision in flight due to their spacing from each other in the cross section of a control beam with provision of high energy of a beam for salvo missiles.
