Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for recovering unmanned reusable missiles (drones) in the return phase, the landing phase being carried out by automatic or remote-controlled control arrangements and additional aids, such as parachute recovery systems.
- the object of the invention is to provide a simple salvage of generic missiles, which in particular enables use on ships and also ensures the inclusion in unfavorable environmental conditions, such as waves.
- a flexible surface element from a contracted, folded and / or folded magazine stowed phase is arranged on actuatable holding and guiding elements to form a trampoline-like receiving surface on a vehicle.
- a favorable embodiment is created in that the flexible surface element is formed from a network.
- the holding and guiding elements be formed by telescopic arrangements that can be extended.
- the holding and guiding elements are arranged so that they can be extended and folded out in the lateral and longitudinal directions to form the receiving surface.
- 1 holding and guiding elements in the form of a telescoping device 2 which can be extended to the rear are arranged in the rear region of a marine vehicle and can additionally be folded into the outer region via struts 3.
- These elements 2, 3 serve as a holder for a flexible surface element 4 in the form of a network and form a trampoline-like receiving surface 5. It is thus possible, from a magazine-stowed stowage phase of the surface element 4 according to FIGS. 3 and 4 with a small space requirement on the marine vehicle 1, a corresponding one to form large receiving surface 5 and to bring it back into the original position.
- the receiving surface 5 makes it possible to create a relatively large landing site for a drone 6 in order to take it up by automatic or remote-controlled control arrangements (not shown) and additional aids, such as a parachute, in the recovery phase. Precise landing is therefore not necessary and environmental conditions such as waves and wind can also be controlled.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Bergen von unbemannten wiederverwendbaren Flugkörpern (Drohnen) in der Rückführungsphase, wobei die Landephase durch automatische oder ferngesteuerte Steueranordnungen und zusätzlicher Hilfsmittel, wie Fallschirmbergesysteme, erfolgt.The invention relates to a device for recovering unmanned reusable missiles (drones) in the return phase, the landing phase being carried out by automatic or remote-controlled control arrangements and additional aids, such as parachute recovery systems.
Bei der Rückkehr ferngesteuerte, beispielsweise zu Aufklärungszwecken eingesetzter Flugköper, ist es bekannt, daß die Landung durch einen im Flugkörper mitgeführten Fallschirm realisiert wird. Hierbei sind Methoden und Steuerungen bekannt geworden, um unter Berücksichtigung der vorliegenden Verhältnisse eine relativ gute Landepunktvorhersage zu machen. Es hat. sich aber gezeigt, daß es insbesondere beim Einsatz in Gewässern relativ schwierig ist, eine Bergung aus dem Wasser vorzunehmen, da es hierzu erforderlich ist, mit dem Schiff entsprechende Wendekreise zu fahren, die einen großen Zeitaufwand erfordern.When returning remote-controlled missiles, for example used for reconnaissance purposes, it is known that the landing is realized by a parachute carried in the missile. Methods and controls have become known in order to make a relatively good landing point prediction taking into account the existing conditions. It has. it has been shown, however, that it is relatively difficult, particularly when used in water, to recover from the Water, since it is necessary to make appropriate turning circles with the ship, which require a lot of time.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine einfache Bergung von gattungsgemäßen Flugkörpern zu schaffen, die insbesondere einen Einsatz auf Schiffen ermöglicht und auch die Aufnahme bei ungünstigen Umweltbedingungen, wie Wellengang, gewährleistet.The object of the invention is to provide a simple salvage of generic missiles, which in particular enables use on ships and also ensures the inclusion in unfavorable environmental conditions, such as waves.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß an einem Fahrzeug ein flexibles Flächenelement aus einer zusammengezogenen, gefalteten und/oder geklappten magazinierten Stauphase über betätigbare Halte- und Führungselemente zur Bildung einer trampolinartiger Aufnahmefläche aufspannbar angeordnet ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that a flexible surface element from a contracted, folded and / or folded magazine stowed phase is arranged on actuatable holding and guiding elements to form a trampoline-like receiving surface on a vehicle.
Hierdurch ist es möglich, eine relativ große Aufnahmefläche zu bilden, die während des normalen Einsatzes des Fahrzeuges keine Beeinträchtigung darstellt. Durch die trampolinartige Aufnahmefläche ist auch eine Erhöhung der Auftreffgeschwindigkeiten durchführbar und somit auch eine gezielte Ansteuerung des Landepunktes besser realisierbar.This makes it possible to form a relatively large receiving area, which does not constitute an impairment during normal use of the vehicle. Due to the trampoline-like receiving surface, an increase in the impact speeds can also be carried out and thus a targeted control of the landing point can be realized more effectively.
Ein besonderer Vorteil ergibt sich beim Einsatz auf Schiffen, da hierbei eine genaue Ausrichtung durch Wellengang nicht gewährleistet ist.A particular advantage arises when used on ships, since precise alignment due to waves is not guaranteed.
Eine günstige Ausgestaltung wird dadurch geschaffen, daß das flexible Flächenelement aus einem Netzwerk gebildet ist.A favorable embodiment is created in that the flexible surface element is formed from a network.
Um eine einfache Handhabung zu ermöglichen wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Halte- und Führungselemente durch ausfahrbare Teleskopanordnungen gebildet sind.In order to enable simple handling, it is proposed that the holding and guiding elements be formed by telescopic arrangements that can be extended.
Eine den Platzbedarf auf dem Fahrzeug nicht beeinträchtigende Anordnung wird dadurch geschaffen, daß für die Anordnung auf Schiffen die Halte- und Führungselemente in den über das Heck hinausgehenden Bereich ausfahrbar sind.An arrangement which does not impair the space required on the vehicle is created in that the holding and guiding elements can be extended into the area beyond the stern for the arrangement on ships.
Um eine große Aufnahmefläche zu schaffen, wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Halte- und Führungselemente in Seiten- und Längsrichtung zur Ausbildung der Aufnahmefläche ausfahrbar und ausklappbar angeordnet sind.In order to create a large receiving surface, it is proposed that the holding and guiding elements are arranged so that they can be extended and folded out in the lateral and longitudinal directions to form the receiving surface.
In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung schematisch dargestellt. Es zeigen:
- Fig. 1 eine Seitenansicht eines Marinefahrzeuges mit einer ausgefahrenen Aufnahmefläche,
- Fig. 2 eine Teildraufsicht gemäß Fig. 1,
- Fig. 3 eine Seitenansicht auf eine gestaute Aufnahmefläche,
- Fig. 4 eine Draufsicht gemäß Fig. 3.
- 1 is a side view of a marine vehicle with an extended receiving surface,
- 2 is a partial plan view of FIG. 1,
- 3 is a side view of a stowed receiving surface,
- 4 is a top view according to FIG. 3.
Bei der dargestellten Ausbildung sind im Heckbereich eines Marinefahrzeuges 1 Halte- und Führungselemente in Form einer nach hinten ausfahrbaren teleskopierenden Einrichtung 2 angeordnet, die zusätzlich über Streben 3 in den Außenbereich klappbar sind. Diese Elemente 2, 3 dienen als eine Halterung für ein flexibles Flächenelement 4 in Form eines Netzes und bilden eine trampolinartige Aufnahmefläche 5 .
Somit ist es möglich, aus einer magazinierten Stauphase des Flächenelementes 4 gemäß Fig. 3 und 4 mit geringem Platzbedarf auf dem Marinefahrzeug 1 eine entsprechende große Aufnahmefläche 5 zu bilden und diese wieder in die ursprüngliche Lage zurückzubringen.In the illustrated embodiment, 1 holding and guiding elements in the form of a telescoping device 2 which can be extended to the rear are arranged in the rear region of a marine vehicle and can additionally be folded into the outer region via
It is thus possible, from a magazine-stowed stowage phase of the surface element 4 according to FIGS. 3 and 4 with a small space requirement on the marine vehicle 1, a corresponding one to form large receiving surface 5 and to bring it back into the original position.
Die Aufnahmefläche 5 ermöglicht es, einen relativ großen Landeplatz für eine Drohne 6 zu schaffen, um diese durch nicht näher dargestellte automatische oder ferngesteuerte Steueranordnungen und zusätzliche Hilfsmittel, wie einen Fallschirm, in der Bergungsphase aufzunehmen. Es ist somit keine punktgenaue Landung erforderlich und auch die Umweltbedingungen, wie Wellengang und Wind, können damit beherrscht werden.The receiving surface 5 makes it possible to create a relatively large landing site for a
