METHOD OF DETECTING AND HITTING AN AERIAL TARGET WITH A MISSILE SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC F42B15/10 

FIELD: military equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to air defense complexes of mobile and stationary objects. Method of detecting and destroying an aerial target by a missile system involves searching for and selecting an aerial target – AT in the area of responsibility of a missile system – MS. For this purpose, coordinates and speed of AT are determined, points of anticipation are calculated for interception of AT by self-guided damaging element – DE, start and delivery of DE to point of interception. Is used with the help of a self-guidance head – SGH DE up to mechanical destruction of AT. DE are delivered to the point of interception on the hinged ballistic trajectory by uncontrolled rocket stage – RS. This stage is separated from DE not lower than AT flight altitude. After RS separation, DE is deployed into autonomous flight configuration. Further, DE is programmed to hang at a height below AT or reduce DE at a speed of not more than 10 m/s with head part upwards. With the help of the DE self-guidance head, the air space above the horizon line is scanned consecutively along all azimuths from 0° to 360° at a single revolution and elevation angle from the horizon line to the zenith. When AT is detected and selected by means of a self-guidance head, its grip is performed for tracking. With the help of DE with own propulsion unit – PD, AT intercepting is performed with its further damage.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of detection and destruction of air target.
