METHOD OF HITTING A REMOTE GROUP PROTECTED TARGET Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC F41G7/00 F42B15/01 G01S13/06 

FIELD: methods of hitting group targets with cruise missiles.

SUBSTANCE: receiving information on coordinates of the target, preparing the missiles for launching, introducing a flight task into the matching amplifiers unit, launching missiles, controlling flight, said navigation hardware and correlation control subsystem are connected to matching amplifiers unit along the terrain outline to guide the missile on the target, get into it and hit. Additionally, radio link is arranged between missiles, radio-transceiver is installed on rockets, optical or infrared device is included into guidance loop, in preparation for start-up, flight job alternate versions and coordinates of other targets are introduced into the matching amplifiers unit, a container with a balloon or an aerostat is dropped from the missile as a transponder, retransmitting an image from a missile guidance system to the transponder and recording, encrypting and transmitting, by the request of the reporting relationship system to the rocket or spacecraft, degree of target destruction is evaluated and decision is made for damage or re-targeting. Information is transmitted via spacecraft to control station.

EFFECT: higher probability of destruction of each target in group with total reduction of missile consumption.
