ANTISUBMARINE CRUISE MISSILE AND ITS APPLICATION METHOD Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F42B15/22 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: antisubmarine cruise missile (ACM) includes a body with a wing and control elements, a propulsion system, an on-board control system (OCS), a mutual information exchange device (MIED), an on-board power supply unit, a torpedo combat part in the form of a small-size torpedo (SST) with a deceleration and stabilisation system, a magnetometer, a radio acoustic buoy or a marker (a target place marking device) in the form of a container with a parachute, a float, a gas generator, means of visual, infrared and radio technical marking of the place, a marker search device connected to OCS and an explosive sound source (ESS). OCS includes a missile control programme with control commands after actuation of the magnetometer at detection of the target, recording of coordinates of the target detection point, for the marker discharge, a calculation of a drop-off point of the small-size torpedo (SST), for input of information on target location, for deviation of the missile for self-destruction, and missile self-destruction. A submarine (SM) is detected, target indication data is supplied to ACM carrier, pre-launching preparation of ACM and SST is performed, a flight task is entered to OCS, the missile is launched, the missile is controlled in launching and cruise sections of the trajectory, low cruising altitude of missile flight is maintained, the magnetometer is actuated at a calculation point, target searching is performed, a marker discharge command is sent, a signal on detection of the target as per MIED system is sent, an SST drop-off and turn manoeuvre is calculated, a marker is detected, the submarine is sounded, SST and ESS is dropped off, and a command for missile self-destruction at safe distance is sent.

EFFECT: invention allows destroying a submarine under unstable target indication conditions.
