REMOTE INSTALLED ENGINEERING MINES ADAPTIVE DISGUISE METHOD Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC F41H3/00 F42B23/16 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of military affairs, to the mine explosive barriers remote installation means in the framework of the troops military operations engineering support measures. Remotely installed engineering mines adaptive camouflaging method is in the camouflage coating application onto the mines surface using the paints pneumatic spraying technology, using the expellant (12), booster (13) and separation (14) powder charges gases pressure. Charges perform the mines (4) release from the cassette, projectile, bomb, block in accordance with the modes set by the mine-laying vehicle, helicopter, airplane, missile-artillery mount control system. In equipped with the mines (4) cassette, evenly along its internal volume arranging the several cartridges (5) equipped with containers (6) with ampoules, equipped with each standard color paints such as greenish-brown - khaki, yellow-gray and white. These containers input openings are connected to the cassette expellant (12), booster (13) and separation (14) gun powder charges by the gas conducting channels. In the initial state, to protect the ampoules with paints against external effects these openings are covered with protective flaps. Flaps open-closed position is controlled by the coupled to the mine-laying control system cartridge switching device (7). Paint color selection for its application onto the mines (4) surface and the cassette internal elements is made before the mines (4) laying in the terrain, based on the underlying surface characteristics investigation results at the mine-laying site. Selected paint color is assigned using the mines color setting device operating as a part of the mine-laying control system, through the cartridge switching device (7) by unlocking – aligning the cartridge protective flaps openings and the selected color containers (6) inlet openings. During the mine-laying on the given mine-laying object, a command is issued for the cassette powder charges triggering. Triggered powder charges gases pressure is transferred through the formed gas conducting channels through the protective flaps openings and the containers (6) unlocked inlets onto the destructible ampoules with ejected through the nozzles paint, the containers (6) outlet openings nozzles perform the paint spraying inside the cassette. Camouflage coating application onto the mines (4) surface and cassette internal elements is carried out during the mines (4) ejection from the cassette during their movement inside the cassette housing and on their flight path limited initial section after leaving the cassette.

EFFECT: enabling increased remotely installed mine-explosive barriers disguise due to of mines and cassettes internal elements adaptive painting scattered on the ground along with mines.
