KINETIC ROCKET-AND-SPACE WEAPONRY SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC B64D1/00 B64G1/00 B64D1/04 

FIELD: rocket building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to small-sized space rocket building specialising in creation of high-precision missile weapons using the kinetic energy of preformed fragments (PFs) as the main damaging factor, as well as when the vacuum of the near-earth space is utilised as a medium for acceleration of the damaging elements. Acceleration is executed using a ballistic missile utilising solid fuel in a dispersed free-flowing state located in a bunker, the structural mass whereof is continuously (specifically, quasicontinuously) released as the fuel is consumed. Thus, a possibility to only require a single-stage missile configuration and to increase the proportion of the combat payload in the suborbital part of the structure of the missile is provided. A possibility to only require one sustainer engine is obtained. The PFs are therein located in a detachable descent module, the body whereof is inscribed in a cone with a taper angle less than the Mach angle on entering the atmosphere. The orientation of the descent module is therein stabilised by spinning the nose section of the descent module around an axis coinciding with the direction of entry into the atmosphere of the Earth. The aft part of the descent module is connected with the nose part by means of a bearing. Said part does not rotate and aerodynamic rudders for controlling attitude, heading and pitch, used for maneuvering and targeting, are located therein.

EFFECT: superiority of the weaponry system over cruise missiles in terms of power efficiency, resistance to interception and armour-penetrating capability is ensured, since the speed of PFs significantly exceeds the speed of a jet of cumulative ammunition.
