GUIDED MISSILE FIRING METHOD Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F41G5/00 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: provides aimer and launcher topographic control to the terrain, target detection with a designator, target coordinates measurement with the designator and transferring them to the firing position remote control, firing disable signal output for the operator on the control panel, target range compliance audit from the position of the launcher with allowable target range in the remote control, firing installations calculation of guided missile and launcher, compliance audit of the fact that the angles of the launcher guidance are outside the range of the complex firing disable signal angles in the control panel, transfer of firing installations by the launcher and missile into the launcher automation unit and then into the rocket, the launcher homing, monitoring the readiness of the missile to launch in the remote control, start permissions generation and in the absence of launcher homing mismatch and a launcher firing installations with maximum tolerance of azimuth ±Δβ and elevation ±Δε, the absolute value of which belong to the range of from 0.1° to 5°, the start command feed from the firing position control unit to the launcher automation unit and start implementation. In addition, when forming a start permission for a guided missile with a laser semi-active homing head before calculating the firing settings, the compliance audit of range from the aimer to the target with the allowance illumination range, and the target illumination angle correspondence to the permissible deviation to ±60° from the direction of the firing bisector are checked.

EFFECT: implementation of remote verification of the missile complex readiness for launch and the formation of start permission by assessing the feasibility of shooting zones and the target illumination area, and the absence of launcher homing angles mismatch from the calculated launcher targeting systems.
