INCREASING OF AIMING AND SEARCH SYSTEM OF LAND UNMANNED COMPLEX DURABILITY

Abstract

Proposals on composition of the aiming and search system of land unmanned complex are offered. The work aims to improve one of the most important technical characteristics of land unmanned complex - survivability. Proposals are given for improving the layout of aiming and search system of land unmanned complex. Existing composition schemes have a low firing life because of the devices included in its structure have are installed into general body. Sniper impact in body makes ineffective all aiming and search system. Authors proposes to install the devices into two bodies along weapon sides. TV-sight should be installed into the first body and thermal-vision sight should be installed into the second body. Then if sniper impact is affecting one body, then the devices of the second body are able to execute a battle task with some limitations thanks to efficient sight. The issues of controlling the stability of the aiming line of the aiming and search system at the stage of bench tests using a collimation-measuring unit are considered in detail. A technique for adjusting both television and thermal imaging sights is proposed.
 In addition to increasing the survivability of the entire unmanned complex, the proposed technical solution has a number of other advantages. First, the "cold" zeroing of the combat module is greatly simplified. Instead of a system of two penta mirrors, a BS-0 ° rhombus prism can be used for this. Secondly, the proposed layout potentially simplifies the further modernization of aiming and search system, which would require the inclusion of additional units. For example, to expand the functionality of the complex by analyzing the polarization of radiation from objects and backgrounds, an additional volume is provided to accommodate polarimetric attachments. Thirdly, an even greater increase in the survivability of the complex can be achieved by increasing the secrecy of the combat mission. Usage of the base distance between the entrance pupils of the sights makes it possible to passively measure the range to the target using the internal base rangefinder instead of the laser rangefinder.
