GUIDED MISSILE LAUNCHED FROM TUBULAR GUIDE Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC F42B15/00 

FIELD: rocket technologies.

SUBSTANCE: guided missile launched from a tubular guide contains a control system unit located in front of the warhead, a rocket engine, a nozzle block with a contact block placed on it and drive pins interacting with the tubular guide. The projectile control system unit is also equipped with a docking unit, configured to secure the projectile in the tubular guide. The docking unit contains a groove and an electrical connector. The tubular guide is equipped with a finger to interact with the groove of the docking unit. The driving pins are configured to interact with the tubular guide and ensure rotation of the projectile around the longitudinal axis until the groove of the projectile docking unit interacts with the pin. The groove in the docking unit is designed to provide fixation of the projectile in the tubular guide, without the possibility of longitudinal movement of the projectile and excluding the possibility of its rotation in the tubular guide after loading. The electrical connector is made with an outer diameter not exceeding the calibre of the projectile. The electrical connector is fixed at a distance of 0.8-0.85 projectile lengths from the axis of the drive pins. The angle between the axis of the electrical connector and the axis of the pins is 1.1-1.3 of the angle between the axis of the pins and the axis of the contact block.

EFFECT: reliability of the functioning of a guided projectile is improved due to the reliable docking of the projectile with a tubular guide in combat conditions at different elevation angles, while maintaining the possibility of using previously developed unguided and corrected multiple launch rocket system projectiles.
