METHOD OF AZIMUTHAL TARGETING LAUNCHER Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC F41G3/00 

FIELD: military equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to azimuthal targeting mobile launchers of the Army rocket-artillery weapons during firing at an unobserved target. Lifting and rotary launcher and a satellite meter are placed on a mobile chassis (MS) with a length of not less than 3m. By means of antennae of the satellite meter a basic direction (BD) is formed within the range of angles between the longitudinal axis and the MS diagonal in the plan. One antenna of the meter is installed in the front, and the other antenna of the meter is installed in the rear end of the MS stationary or onto a folding bar. Coordinate referencing of the BD to an associated with the MS fixed angle-metering limb of the launcher is performed. Turning of the launcher in the direction of firing is performed relative to the BD fixed by means of the angle-metering limb.

EFFECT: technical result of the proposed invention is higher accuracy of azimuthal targeting of the launcher, including the one with replaceable transport-launching containers (TLC) with ground-to ground missiles, at minimization of acting on the satellite meter interfering effects of specific targeting operation of the launcher.
