FIRING METHOD OF GUIDED MISSILE WITH LASER HALF-ACTIVE HOMING HEAD AND DEVICE REALIZING THEREOF Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC F41G7/22 

FIELD: weapons.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to guidance of artillery guided projectiles with a laser semi-active homing head (LSAHH), capturing the illuminated target on the trajectory final section, and is intended to control barrel artillery fire of calibres 120, 122, 152, 155 mm during firing by controlled ammunition with LSAHH. Method of firing a guided projectile with LSAHH consists in the fact that the firing position is topographed to the area, calculating and realizing firing settings, establishing digital radio communication channel with firing position panel, establishing a single computer time in target designator and firing position panel, performing topographic referencing of target designator to area, transmitting television image of target area to fire position panel, detecting target on television image, changing target indicator into automatic tracking mode of target, performing a shot after checking the target radiation reflected from the target laser designator in the field of view of the guided projectile homing head when it reaches the target, transmitting from the firing position panel to the target designator the time for switching on the laser radiation of the target designator, the laser emitter of the target designator when the required switching time is reached, aiming the aiming device at the target illuminated by laser radiation of the target designator. At that, firing into the design centre of the allowable sector of reflection of the target illumination beam of the projectile-target designator, target designation by the reconnaissance and target designation module (RTDM) is performed, the RTDM self-destruct means are activated when falling on the ground. Shell-projectile is characterized by that shell body used is lighting ammunition body, and same calibre as projectile with LSAHH, which will be aimed at target.

EFFECT: technical result is higher efficiency due to faster delivery of reconnaissance means and target designation to target without using an unmanned aerial vehicle.
