Аналіз методів та систем наведення сучасних артилерійських боєприпасів

Abstract

As the experience of warfare in easternUkraineshowed, achieving the desired effect of hitting targets when firing artillery systems requires a significant expenditure of ammunition, which in turn can lead to both casualties among the local population and the destruction of infrastructure.Proceeding from this, there is a need to develop, adopt and incorporate modern high-precision munitions into the artillery systems, which will significantly increase the effectiveness of enemy fire engagement, reduce ammunition consumption during shelling targets of various sizes and, accordingly, reduce the time it takes to carry out a fire mission.The aim of the article is to analyze the methods and guidance systems (SN) of modern artillery ammunition, the current state of the corresponding developments of the militarily advanced countries of the world, which, in turn, should be useful in developing tactical and technical requirements for modern and promising weapons systems.Depending on the nature of the signals issued by the SN, and the nature of the kinematic relationships imposed on the motion of the center of mass of the projectile with the ideal implementation of homing methods, it is advisable to divide these algorithms (methods) into two groups:direct fire method (direct homing, chase method)lead-homing method (guidance with a constant lead angle, parallel approach proportional to guidance).One of the promising directions for increasing the accuracy of conventional high-explosive fragmentation ordnance (HE) when firing at long range is considered to be correction of the projectile trajectory. The concept of creating ammunition of this type includes three areas:sighting projectile;with path correction in range;with path correction in range and direction.In all cases, control commands for changing projectile flight paths are generated when using signals from the NAVSTAR space radio navigation system.Based on the review, in Ukraine it is advisable to choose the path of creating high-precision artillery ammunition with a combined guidance system, as well as the creation of “intelligent” demolitionists on existing weapons.
