METHOD OF RADIO-OPTICAL SHIELDING OF SURFACE SHIP Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC F41J2/00 B63G8/34 

FIELD: radar and radio navigation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods for combined masking of a surface ship from radar, radio-technical and optoelectronic means of detecting and homing anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCM). For the radio-optical shielding of surface ship (1) in motion and in the parking lot from the ASCM, activation of the sources of active and passive jamming (3) placed on the trap near surface ship (1) of different spectral ranges is provided. In this case, one or more aircraft-electric helicopters (2) of a multi-rotor helicopter circuit, connected with a surface ship by means of a cable of at least ½ the length of the hull of the ship, are used as a trap. Airborne apparatus is preliminarily brought to the full length of the cable in a direction perpendicular to the threatened azimuth of the ASCM attack. From surface ship (1), the cable is powered and controlled by aircraft (2). Sources of active and passive interference (3) are lowered from aircraft (2) on the cable to a height of not more than 30 m from the water surface and activated upon command from surface ship (1) after the attack of the surface ship of the ASCM.

EFFECT: longtime continuous all-azimuth radio-optical shielding of the surface ship in motion and in parking away from the ASCM is ensured, including in several spectral ranges simultaneously.
