METHOD TO DAMAGE MARINE TARGET (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B63G5/00 F42B17/00 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to methods for damage of marine targets. The method to damage a submarine with an anti-submarine torpedo includes: manoeuvring of a vessel, solving the task of torpedo meeting submarine with firing control equipment, firing the torpedo, its movement to the estimated point, searching for the submarine with the homing system of the torpedo, its detection, attack and approach. When preparing for firing, they input a criterion of firing at the submarine masking in the acoustic field of a surface vessel into the system of anti-submarine torpedo management. The method to damage a submarine with a universal cruise missile includes: launch of the cruise missile, its control, discharge of the torpedo warhead in the estimated point, parachuting of the torpedo warhead, its landing on water, searching and capturing of the target with the homing system, attack with approach and explosion of the torpedo warhead at the distance from the target that provides for its damage. At the stage of pre-start preparation of the missile, they input a criterion of firing at the submarine masking in the acoustic field of the surface vessel, and a vessel "friend-or-foe" criterion into the system of torpedo warhead control. At the end section of the missile trajectory they increase height and prepare the torpedo warhead for damage of the submarine. Data is introduced into the torpedo warhead about the submarine or the surface vessel, under which the submarine is located. After discharge of the torpedo warhead they manage the missile so that vessel safety is provided, in the acoustic field of which the submarine is masked, if the vessel is a "friend", or to damage the vessel with it, if the vessel is a "foe".

EFFECT: increased effectiveness of using weapons.
