Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schutzeinrichtung für sich rasch bewegende Objekte, wie Flugzeuge, gegen auf abgegebene Strahlung, insbesondere Infrarotstrahlung, ansprechende Zielsuchköpfe.The invention relates to a protective device for rapidly moving objects, such as Aircraft, responsive to radiation emitted, in particular infrared radiation Target seekers.

Es sind Schutz- bzw. Werfereinrichtungen bekannt, siehe beispielsweise die DE-PS 29 36 861, bei denen an einem zu schützenden Objekt, insbesondere einem Flugzeug, ein Werfersystem angeordnet ist, aus dem Wirkkörper (Flares) verschossen werden, die in einem vorgebbaren Sicherheitsabstand von dem Flugzeug oder dergleichen wirksam werden. Dabei kann es sich insbesondere um sogenannte Spotflares handeln, die bei ihrem Wirksamwerden ein Infrarotscheinziel bilden. Da zum Zeitpunkt des Wirksamwerdens der betreffenden Täuschladung, nachdem also der Wirkkörper bzw. das Spotflare den Sicherheitsabstand vom Flugzeug oder dergleichen erreicht hat, keine mechanische Verbindung zwischen dem Wirkkörper (Flare) und dem Dispenser, der an dem zu schützenden Flugzeug oder dergleichen angebracht ist, mehr besteht, entsteht zwischen dem Scheinziel und dem zu schützenden Flugzeug oder dergleichen rasch eine derartige Relativbewegung, mit schnell anwachsender Distanz zwischen dem Scheinziel und dem Objekt, daß der Zielsuchkopf das Scheinziel als Falschziel erkennen und somit verwerfen wird. Infolgedessen nimmt die Wirksamkeit von Scheinzielen gegen Zielsuchköpfe neuerer Generationen stark ab.Protective or throwing devices are known, see for example DE-PS 29 36 861, in the case of an object to be protected, in particular an aircraft Thrower system is arranged, from which active bodies (flares) are shot, which are in one Predeterminable safety distance from the aircraft or the like. Here can be so-called spot flares in particular, which take effect when they become effective form an infrared glow target. Because at the time the relevant Deceptive charge, after the active body or the spot flare has the safety distance from Airplane or the like has reached no mechanical connection between the Active body (flare) and the dispenser attached to the aircraft to be protected or the like is appropriate, more exists, arises between the apparent goal and the protective aircraft or the like quickly such a relative movement, with fast increasing distance between the apparent target and the object that the seeker seeks the Recognize the false target as the wrong target and will therefore reject it. As a result, the Effectiveness of false targets against seekers of newer generations strongly.

Auch durch bereits vorgeschlagene Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der spektralen Charakteristik des Scheinzieles läßt sich dem vorgenannten Problem nicht begegnen, da hierfür einzig die relative Kinematik des Scheinzieles bzw. Spotflares gegenüber dem zu schützenden Objekt verantwortlich ist.Also through measures already proposed to improve the spectral Characteristic of the apparent goal can not be countered the problem mentioned above, because only the relative kinematics of the apparent target or spot flares compared to that protective object is responsible.

Um der vorstehend beschriebenen Bedrohung gerecht zu werden, wurden bereits sogenannte Propelled Flares, die über einen eigenen Antrieb verfügen, sowie Towed Decoys, nämlich festinstallierte geschleppte Falschsignalgeber, entwickelt. Beide haben jedoch den Nachteil, daß sie unvergleichlich aufwendiger und teurer als die bislang bekannten Scheinzielkörper in Form von Spotflares sind.To deal with the threat described above, so-called Propelled flares, which have their own drive, and Towed Decoys, namely permanently installed false signaling device, developed. However, both have the disadvantage that they are incomparably more complex and expensive than the previously known dummy target in Are in the form of spot flares.

Aus der DE-PS 41 25 355 ist es zwar bereits bekannt, zwischen einem Wurfkörper und einem Wurfbecher einer Selbstschutz-Werfereinrichtung eine mechanische Verbindung in Form einer Fangleine vorzusehen, jedoch reißt die dort beschriebene Fangleine bestimmungsgemäß von dem zu schützenden Objekt bzw. dem dort befindlichen Wurfbecher ab, sobald sie in durch die Fangleine definiertem Abstand von dem zu schützenden Objekt das Anzünden der Täuschladung eines Nebelwurfkörpers oder dergleichen bewirkt hat. Die Fangleine dient dabei einzig der Zündung der Täuschladung in einem definierten Abstand vom zu schützenden Objekt, nämlich einem Panzer. Nach Zündung der Täuschladung kommt es auch hier zu einer Änderung der Distanz zwischen dem zu schützenden Panzer und der aufblühenden Täuschladung, wobei dies allerdings wegen der relativ geringen Geschwindigkeit nicht zu merklichen Problemen hinsichtlich Zielsuchköpfen oder dergleichen führt, sondern gerade zum Durchführen eines Stellungswechsels des zu schützenden Panzers im Schütze der aufblühenden Täuschladung geeignet ist.From DE-PS 41 25 355 it is already known, between a projectile and a Throwing cup of a self-protection launcher device a mechanical connection in the form to provide a safety line, but the safety line described there breaks as intended from the object to be protected or the throwing cup located there as soon as it is in by the safety line defined distance from the object to be protected lighting the Has caused a deceptive charge of a smoke missile or the like. The lanyard serves only the ignition of the deceptive charge at a defined distance from the protective object, namely a tank. After ignition of the deceptive charge, it also happens here to change the distance between the tank to be protected and the flourishing fake charge, although this is due to the relatively low Speed to noticeable problems regarding homing heads or the like leads, but just to carry out a change of position protective tank in the gunner of the blooming deceptive charge is suitable.

Aus der DE-OS 23 57 769 ist bereits eine Einrichtung an einem Düsenflugzeug zum Irreleiten von mit Infrarotsuchköpfen ausgestatteten Bekämpfungsraketen bekannt, bei der im Schlepp des Flugzeugs Täuschladungen zum Aufblühen gebracht werden, die jedoch bereits im Augenblick ihres Aufblühens eine ganz erhebliche Relativgeschwindigkeit zum zu schützenden Objekt haben, so daß auch hier die Gefahr besteht, daß der Zielsuchkopf das Scheinziel als Falschziel erkennt und verwirft.From DE-OS 23 57 769 a device on a jet plane for misleading is already known from missile equipped with infrared search heads, in tow of the aircraft deceptive charges are blooming, but which are already in Moment of their blossoming a very considerable relative speed to have a protective object, so that here too there is a risk that the target seeker Recognizes and rejects apparent target as wrong target.

Aus der JP-1-203899 (A) ist es bereits bekannt, hinter einem Flugzeug ein thermische Energie ausstrahlendes Scheinziel herzuschleppen, jedoch besteht dabei nicht die Möglichkeit, nach dem Aufschalten eines Zielsuchkopfes eine große Distanz zwischen das Scheinziel und das zu schützende Flugzeug zu legen, nämlich durch entsprechende Manöver des Flugzeugs oder dergleichen, so daß die Gefahr besteht, daß der Zielsuchkopf, sofern die Manövriermöglichkeit des Flugzeuges durch das Scheinziel nicht allzusehr beeinträchtig werden soll, wie dies bei sehr langer Schleppleine der Fall ist, in zu großer Nähe zum Flugzeug zur Detonation kommt, wodurch eine Beschädigung oder Störung des eigentlichen Zieles nicht zuverlässig ausgeschlossen werden kann.From JP-1-203899 (A) it is already known to use thermal energy behind an aircraft to carry the radiating illusion, but there is no possibility to the intrusion of a target seeker a large distance between the dummy target and the protective aircraft, namely by appropriate maneuvers of the aircraft or the like, so that there is a risk that the target seeker, if the Maneuverability of the aircraft not too much impaired by the apparent target should be, as is the case with a very long towline, too close to the Aircraft detonates, causing damage or disruption to the real thing Target cannot be reliably excluded.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Schutzeinrichtung für sich rasch bewegende Objekte, wie Flugzeuge, gegen auf abgegebene Strahlung, insbesondere Infrarotstrahlung, ansprechende Zielsuchköpfe zu liefern, die gewährleistet, daß auch kinematikempfindliche Zielsuchköpfe das damit erzeugbare Scheinziel selbst bei schnell bewegtem, zu schützendem Objekt nicht oder nur schwer als Falschziel erkennen können.The invention has for its object a protective device for fast moving Objects, such as airplanes, against radiation emitted, in particular infrared radiation, to deliver appealing homing heads, which ensures that even those sensitive to kinematics Target seekers the apparent target that can be generated with it, even if the target is moved quickly and is to be protected Cannot or hardly recognize the object as a wrong target.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Schutzeinrichtung für sich rasch bewegende Objekte, wie Flugzeuge, gegen auf abgegebene Strahlung, insbesondere Infrarotstrahlung, ansprechende Zielsuchköpfe, mit folgenden Merkmalen gelöst:

  • einem am zu schützenden Objekt angeordneten Dispenser,
  • aus dem mindestens ein, eine Täuschladung aufweisender Wirkkörper (Flare) ausstoßbar ist, und
  • einer den Wirkkörper mit dem Dispenser verbindenden Fangleine,
  • wobei der Wirkkörper beim Verlassen des Dispensers angezündet,
  • dann kurzfristig im brennenden Zustand mitgeschleppt und
  • danach durch Abtrennen der Fangleine im brennenden Zustand freigegeben wird.
  • According to the invention, this object is achieved by a protective device for rapidly moving objects, such as airplanes, against target seekers that respond to emitted radiation, in particular infrared radiation, with the following features:
  • a dispenser arranged on the object to be protected,
  • from which at least one active body (deceptive charge) can be ejected, and
  • a safety line connecting the active body to the dispenser,
  • the active body being ignited when leaving the dispenser,
  • then dragged along briefly in the burning state and
  • then released by disconnecting the fishing line in the burning state.
  • Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Fangleine dehnbar ausgebildet ist.It can be provided that the safety line is designed to be stretchable.

    Die Erfindung schlägt ferner vor, daß die Entfaltungsgeschwindigkeit der Fangleine, insbesondere mittels einer an dem Wirkkörper (Flare) und/oder an dem Dispenser vorgesehenen Abroll-Bremseinrichtung oder dergleichen, einstellbar ist. The invention further proposes that the deployment speed of the safety line, in particular by means of a on the active body (flare) and / or on the dispenser provided rolling brake device or the like, is adjustable.

    Außerdem kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Fangleine an dem Dispenser und/oder an dem Wirkkörper (Flare) abreißbar angebracht ist.It can also be provided that the safety line on the dispenser and / or on the Active body (flare) is attached tearable.

    Die Erfindung sieht vor, daß der Zeitpunkt des Abtrennens der Fangleine einstellbar ist.The invention provides that the time of detaching the safety line is adjustable.

    Schließlich kann auch vorgesehen sein, daß die bis zum Abtrennen der Fangleine den Abstand zwischen dem zu schützenden Objekt und dem Wirkkörper definierende wirksame Länge der Fangleine einstellbar ist.Finally, it can also be provided that the distance until the safety line is separated between the object to be protected and the active body defining effective length of the Safety line is adjustable.

    Der Erfindung liegt die überraschende Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß es gelingt, auch für Zielsuchköpfe neuerer Generation, insbesondere Infrarotzielsuchköpfe, das Erkennen eines Scheinzieles als Falschziel selbst bei einem sich schnell bewegenden, zu schützenden Objekt drastisch zu erschweren, indem zwischen dem zu schützenden Objekt und dem Wirkkörper (Flare) eine Fangleine vorgesehen wird, die das Scheinziel mit dem zu schützenden Objekt kurzfristig mitschleppt, so daß das Scheinziel sich vorübergehend im wesentlichen mit der selben Geschwindigkeit wie das zu schützende Objekt, insbesondere ein Flugzeug oder dergleichen, bewegt Nach dem Überbrücken des Sicherheitsbereiches, der sich zwischen dem Wirkkörper (Flare) bzw. dem Spotflare und dem Werfersystem und damit dem zu schützenden Objekt befindet, wird der Wirkkörper (Flare) über die Fangleine abgefangen. Die weitere Separation des Wirkkörpers (Flares) bzw. des aufblühenden Scheinzieles von dem zu schützenden Objekt bis zur vollständigen Freigabe kann durch zeitlich und räumlich gezieltes Abspulen der Fangleine gesteuert werden. Alternativ hierzu kann auch eine elastische Fangleine vorgesehen sein, die nach Straffung durch ihre Dehnung eine weitere Separation bis zur Freigabe ermöglicht, wobei die Freigabe natürlich auch durch definierten Abriß erfolgen kann.The invention is based on the surprising finding that it also works for Newer target seekers, especially infrared seekers, recognizing one False target as a false target even with a fast moving object to be protected to make it drastically more difficult by between the object to be protected and the active body (Flare) a safety line is provided that connects the target with the object to be protected dragged along at short notice, so that the apparent target is temporarily essentially with the same speed as the object to be protected, especially an airplane or the like, moves After bridging the security area that is between the Active bodies (flare) or the spot flare and the launcher system and thus the protective object is located, the active body (flare) is intercepted via the safety line. The further separation of the active body (flares) or the blooming apparent target from the Protective object until complete release can be targeted by time and space Unreeling the fishing line can be controlled. Alternatively, an elastic one Catch line should be provided, which after tightening due to its stretching up a further separation allows for approval, whereby the approval is of course also carried out by defined demolition can.

    Erfindungsgemäß wird erreicht, daß die mittels der Schutzeinrichtung erzeugten Scheinziele räumlich und zeitlich eine Separationsbewegung machen, die vom Zielsuchkopf nicht detektierbar ist. Weiterhin besteht der Vorteil, daß der Verschuß der Wirkkörper (Flares) aus vorhandenen Werfersystemen erfolgen kann, so daß sich die bekannte Flaretechnologie, gegebenenfalls in spektraler Modifizierung, auch weiterhin einsetzen läßt.According to the invention it is achieved that the false targets generated by the protective device make a separation movement in space and time that the seeker does not is detectable. Another advantage is that the firing of the active bodies (flares) consists of existing launcher systems can take place, so that the well-known flare technology, if necessary in spectral modification, can continue to be used.

    Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachstehenden Beschreibung, in der ein Ausführungsbeispiel anhand einer Zeichnung im einzelnen erläutert ist. Dabei zeigt die aus einer einzigen Figur bestehende Zeichnung in schematischer Darstellung eine Werfereinrichtung nach der Erfindung in verschiedenen Betriebszuständen.Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the following Description in which an embodiment is explained in detail with reference to a drawing is.

Eine Fangleine 14 rollt, wie a) erkennen läßt, aus dem Dispenser 10 aus. Die Fangleine 14 ist mit einem Ende an dem Dispenser 10 und mit ihrem anderen Ende an dem Wirkkörper (Flare) 12 befestigt.In the states of the protective device shown in the drawing is from a dispenser 10, which is attached to an aircraft to be protected, an active body (flare) 12, the one Infrared radiation-producing deceptive charge has already been ejected, the Ignition of the false charge takes place in the position shown in a). A tether 14 rolls, as a) reveals from the dispenser 10. The fishing line 14 is at one end on the Dispenser 10 and attached at its other end to the active body (flare) 12.

    In der Zeichnung bezeichnet b) einen Zustand, in dem der Wirkkörper (Flare) 12 den Sicherheitsbereich zwischen dem Dispenser 10 bzw. dem zu schützenden Flugzeug verlassen hat, wobei der Wirkkörper (Flare) in der in b) gezeigten Position durch die sich straffende Fangleine 14 abgefangen wird.In the drawing, b) denotes a state in which the active body (flare) 12 the Leave the security area between the dispenser 10 or the aircraft to be protected has, the active body (flare) in the position shown in b) by the tightening Catch line 14 is intercepted.

    In der Position c) ist gezeigt, wie die Fangleine 14 sich auch nach dem anfänglichen Abfangen gemäß Position b) noch verlängern kann, gegebenenfalls durch Vorsehen einer geeigneten Abrolleinrichtung am Dispenser 10 und/oder am Wirkkörper (Flare) 12 oder auch durch Verwendung einer elastisch dehnbaren Fangleine, so daß also der Wirkkörper (Flare) 12 dem zu schützenden Flugzeug nicht mit der identischen Geschwindigkeit des letzteren, sondern beispielsweise auch mit geringerer Relativgeschwindigkeit nachgeführt werden kann.In position c) it is shown how the fishing line 14 also moves after the initial one Interception according to item b) can be extended, if necessary by providing one suitable rolling device on the dispenser 10 and / or on the active body (flare) 12 or by using an elastically stretchable suspension line so that the active body (flare) 12 the aircraft to be protected is not at the same speed as the latter, but can also be tracked with a lower relative speed, for example.

    In Position d) schließlich wird der Wirkkörper (Flare) 12 durch Abreißen der Fangleine 14 freigegeben.Finally, in position d), the active body (flare) 12 is torn off by the tether 14 Approved.
