Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a remote control system for missiles or projectiles, and more particularly to an electrical remote control system for missiles or the like containing an explosive charge and a detonator device therefor.
  • the missile may be for instance of the type which is rocket propelled, with armor piercing hollow charge, and which is provided with a trailing wire connection with a control installation so that electrical control signals can be transmitted from the control installation to the missile for correcting its trajectory in the direction of two coordinates (left-right and up-down).
  • a control installation so that electrical control signals can be transmitted from the control installation to the missile for correcting its trajectory in the direction of two coordinates (left-right and up-down).
  • remote controlled missiles of this type it is hardly possible to entirely exclude the danger that due to technical trouble in the remote control installation, along the path of signal transmission, in the receiver and transducer equipment, or within the missile itself, or also due to human errors in handling the control system, the missile goes out of control or may even move in direction toward friendly army units instead of to the enemy.
  • the purpose of the system according to the invention is to enable an observer to place the missile in armed condition and to return it to its normal notarmed condition whenever desired. Normally, the missile is kept in non-armed condition. This should particularly be the case when in the entire control system any defects or disturbances should occur which interfere with the regular transmission of control signals. Should such disturbances occur after the missile has been placed into armed condition, then the safety control means must automatically return the missile to its non-armed condition.
  • the operator or observer at the remote control installation must be in a position to release the arming signal only after he is convinced that the missile is moving toward the desired target. Even if subsequently any disturbance or irregularity is observed, the operator must be in a position to cancel the arming signal so that the missile is returned to its normal non-armed condition.
  • a remote control system for missiles containing an explosive charge and a detonator device therefor comprises, according to the invention, electrically operable impact detonator means within the missile; electric circuit means connected to said detonator means and including a source of electrical energy for actuating the detonator means; safety control means in circuit with the detonator means and movable between a normal position in which the circuit is interrupted, and an arming position in which the circuit is closed for actuating the detonator means; and transducer means for receiving an arming signal and for moving the safety control means into the arming positions thereof upon receiving an arming signal.
  • the safety control means include a bafile or shield means which, in the non-armed condition of the missile, is positioned between the charge and a detonator cap or the like so that an ignition of the detonator cap, e.g. upon impact of the missile on a target, cannot effect explosion of the charge. If the detonator cap is provided with electrical actuating means for igniting the cap, then electrical control means can be arranged in the electrical circuit operating the detonator cap, this circuit being closed only when the above-mentioned bafile or shield device is in a position corresponding to the armed condition of the missile.
  • Electromagnetic means may be provided for causing the movement of the shield device into arming position and bias means may be provided for returning the shield device into non-arming position.
  • a transistor circuit may be provided for acting as an electronic control switch under the influence of a control signal, hereinafter called arming signal, which is transmitted to the missile from the control installation and is received by receiving means in the missile and thereby converted into an impulse or current operating the above-mentioned electromagnetic means.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic schematic illustration of a remote control system according to the invention showing diagrammatically a missile with its essential control parts and a remote control installation connected therewith;
  • FIG. 2 is a wiring diagram showing details of the circuit means in a missile
  • FIG. 3 is a modified electrical circuit diagram for the electrical control means in a missile
  • FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating in the form of voltage versus time the voltage variations in certain parts of the circuits illustrated by FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic electrical diagram illustrating a remote control system for transmitting an arming signal and for putting the same into effect.
  • a missile G is connected by a trailing electrical wire or cable D with a control installation L located at or near the place from which the missile is fired. It may be assumed that the operator of the control installation L is able to observe the move ments of the missile G toward the desired target or obtains information about such observations, so that this operator may apply control movements Mx to the control lever of a transducer device Wx in case the trajectory of the missile is to be corrected in the direction of a coordinate X. Similarly, for carrying out corrections in a coordinate direction Y at right angles to X, the control lever of the transducer Wy is caused to carry out mechanical control movements My. The two control levers may be combined into one single control stick movable in two coordinate directions. The transducers Wx and Wy, respectively, convert the mechanical movements of the control levers into electrical control signals Ex and By, respectively, which are injected by a coupling device K1 into the line connection D leading to the missile G.
  • the control installation L comprises a further transducer device Wa provided with a button control or a similar means for converting a mechanical control movement Ma into an electrical arming signal Ea which is also injected by the device K1 into the line connection D and is received in the missile by the decoupling means K2 and is then segregated in the form of an electrical arming signal Ea.
  • the amplifier and transducer device Va converts the received arming signal Ea into a control voltage -Ua which is a direct current voltage and is applied to a transistor Ta acting as an electronic control switch means. It is to be understood, of course, that this negative potential applies to electrical ground of the missile G and is applied to the base-emitter circuit of the transistor Ta. It can be seen now that as long as the arming signal Ea is received and converted in the transducer Va the transistor Ta is in conductive condition so as to constitute a closed switch while it is in non-conductive condition like an open switch as long as no arming signal Ea is received.
  • the missile G contains an explosive charge, for instance an armor piercing hollow charge HL which is associated with a detonator cap Z1 adapted to be ignited electrically.
  • the detonator means of the missile G comprise, in addition to the electrically operable detonator cap Z1, an igniting device, for instance, an ignitor pin St which is mounted movable in axial direction of the missile G so as to move into an operating position upon impact of the missile G on a target or other object.
  • the ignitor pin St is shown in FIG. 1 in its normal position, from which it will move upon impact of the missile G into a forward position.
  • a normally open igniting contact Zs is arranged adjacent to the ignitor pin St, one contact blade of the contact Zs being provided with a pin which slidably engages a cam portion of the ignitor pin St in such a manner that when the last mentioned pin moves forward the contact Zs is moved into closed position.
  • the igniting contact Zs is part of a circuit comprising in series a battery Bt, the igniting contact Zs, a safety control contact As, the electrically operable detonator cap Z1 and the collector-emitter circuit of the transistor Ta. Therefore, the circuit for igniting the detonator cap Z1 cannot be rendered operative unless also the safety control contact As is closed and the transistor Ta is rendered conductive.
  • the detonator cap Z1 is associated with a shielding device, preferably having the form of a sleeve Ha which is provided with a shank Aa which serves the double purpose of slidably supporting the shield Ha. and of acting as the core for the solenoid Ma.
  • the shank Act is surrounded by a return spring Fa which tends to urge the shield Ha into the shown position in which the detonator cap Z1 is protected against acting, in-the case of ignition, on the charge HL.
  • the shank Aa is attracted in the direction to the left, as seen in FIG. 1, whereby the shield Ha is removed from its normal position in which the missile is in non-armed condition, into a position in which the Walls of the shield Ha do not separate the detonator cap Z1 from the charge HL which means that in the second position of the shield Ha the missile G is in armed condition.
  • the safety control switch As is normally in open position and one contact blade thereof is provided with a pin adapted to be in slidable engagement with a cam portion on the shield Ha. Whenever the shield Ha is moved by the energization of the solenoid Ma into its non-arming position, the safety control switch As is closed.
  • a second detonator cap Z2 may be provided and connected in parallel with the detonator cap Z1, and this second detonator cap Z2 may serve to explosively remove the head of the missile G.
  • the system according to the invention provides maximum safety against the possibility that the missile could cause any damage except when it reaches the intended target area.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates in greater detail a circuit which is essentially a portion of the circuit given in FIG. 1.
  • the battery Bt and the solenoid coil Ma are shown in the same relation as before. However, in this case it is assumed that the arming signal is transmitted in the form of an alternating voltage Ua.
  • This alternating voltage Ua is amplified by an amplifying transistor Tv and is then rectified by the transistor Ta from where the electrical energy is supplied to the solenoid Ma.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate another possibility of transmitting an arming signal and to apply this signal to the safety control means of the missile.
  • the circuit diagram of FIG. 3 constitutes essentially an amplifier arrangement comprising transistors, for the purpose of obtaining a controlling direct current voltage -Ua which may then be applied in the same manner as explained in reference to FIG. 1 to the control transistor Ta for causing the arming of the missile G whenever a corresponding or suitable arming signal is transmitted to the latter.
  • Pulsetirne modulated impulse voltages Ulix and Uly are applied to the input terminals a and b, respectively.
  • the consecutive impulses start in periodical intervals.
  • the duration of the individual impulses is variable and their variation contains the information for causing movement of the above-mentioned steering means in the direction of coordinates x, respectively.
  • This known direction control system is based on the principle that if the duration of the individual pulses is shorter than a predetermined normal or mean value, a correction is to be effected in the negative direction of the particular coordinate.
  • the correction is effected in the positive direction of the particular coordinate. Accordingly, in FIG. 4 the conditions are shown in the left half thereof, marked A, as prevailing when no arming signal is transmitted to the missile G, while the right half of the diagram, marked B, illustrates the conditions prevailing when an arming signal is transmitted.
  • the diagram of FIG. 1 may be interpreted in such a manner that in the remote control installation L the symbols Mx and My, respectively, represent means for generating trains of impulses of uniform time interval while the elements Wx and Wy, respectively, represent means for changing the duration of the individual pulses so that the signal Ex would correspond to the pulse sequence Ulx and the signal Ey would correspond to the pulse sequence Uly.
  • the device Wa would serve to control the component K1 in such a manner that the pulse trains Ulx and Uly are shifted one against the other in phase so that they are ofiset against each other by an amount equal to i.e. one-half of the time interval between two consecutive pulses as is illustrated in the portion B of FIG. 4.
  • the means for generating the trains of pulses and the means for shifting one train of pulses with respect to the other train of pulses are entirely known and do not form part of the present invention.
  • the trains of pulses Ulx and Uly are subjected to pulse-time modulation only for the purpose of steering the missile in the desired direction.
  • the pulse-time modulation is not used for the purpose of this invention and can be disregarded entirely. Nevertheless, a certain pulse time variation is shown in FIG. 4 in the diagram of the pulse trains Ulx and Uly, respectively.
  • what is used for the purposes of this invention is only the sequence of voltage spikes corresponding in time exactly to the leading flank of the individual pulses as indicated in the third and fourth row of the diagram of FIG. 4, the individual consecutive voltage spikes being spaced from each other exactly by the same time interval t which is the spacing of consecutive pulses in the pulse trains Ulx and Uly, respectively.
  • the sequences of voltage spikes are designated UZx and UZy, respectively, in FIG. 4. It can be further seen from FIG. 4 that the voltage spikes U2x and UZy are synchronous with each other in the portion A of the diagram which corresponds to a condition where no arming signal is being given to the missile, while the voltage spikes UZx and UZy are offset or phase shifted by against each other in the right-hand portion B of FIG. 4 which corresponds to the condition that an arming signal is transmitted from the control installation L to the missile G.
  • the series of voltage spikes acts as trigger signals UZx and U2y, respectively, on the corresponding multi-vibrator stages diagrammatically illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • Each trigger impulse U2x and UZy causes the corresponding multi-vibrator arrangement connected to the input terminals a and b, respectively, to generate an impulse as shown in the impulse series U3x and U3y, respectively.
  • the duration of each one of the pulses in these pulse sequences is determined by the time constants of the RC elements R3 and C3, respectively, and amounts to approximately 55% of the pulse period t.
  • the impulses of the two seriesU3x and U3y appear simultaneously and synchronously provided that no arming signal is intended to be given or is given.
  • the pulse series U31: and U3y are superimposed upon each other in the switching transistor T3.
  • the transistor T3 is in conductive condition so that the voltage U4 has the value 0.
  • the transistor T3 is non-conductive and therefore the voltage U4 abruptly assumes the value U0 as illustrated at d in FIG. 4.
  • the voltage U4 will consist of periodic pulses Uo as shown in the portion A of FIG. 4. However, if and when an arming signal is received, the voltage U4 is kept continuously at the value 0 as shown in portion B of FIG. 4, because in this case at all times one of the two voltages U3x and U3y is negative.
  • the transistor T4 is also arranged as a switching transistor and is in conductive condition as long as the voltage U4 has the value '--Uo, but it is in non-conductive condition when the voltage U4 changes to 0.
  • a delay circuit comprising a resistor R5 and a storage condenser C5 connected parallel therewith.
  • the voltage U5 only gradually changes from 0 toward the value U0 because initially the discharge current of the condenser C5 flowing across the resistor R5 counteracts this change of voltage.
  • the time constant of the delay circuit RSCS is so chosen that in the case where no arming signal is being transmitted or received (portion A of FIG. 4) i.e., when the transistor T4 is periodically rendered conductive (impulses U4), the discharging process of the condenser C5 cannot proceed to the point where its recharge starts again. As long as the potential US is more positive than the fixed and.
  • the required control voltage -Ua can only be obtained if both impulse sequences Ulx and Uly having the relative phase shift to serve as an arming signal are properly received by the receiving "means of the missile G. If only one or both of these impulse sequences do not arrive as, for instance, due to a damage to the connecting line D or if the phase shift serving as an arming signal is not being applied to the direction control impulses, the control voltage --Ua cannot be generated so that the safety control device of the missile remains in non-arming position or is automatically moved back into this position.
  • FIG. 5 A comparatively simple remote control system is illustrated diagrammatically in FIG. 5.
  • the remote control installation L is connected with the missile G by a four-wire connection D, the individual wires being marked Dx, Dy Da and Dr.
  • the three signal transmitting wires Dx, Dy and Da are connected in the missile to the bases of the corresponding transistors Tx, Ty, Ta, respectively, the emitters of these transistors being connected to or ground of the missile, while the collectors of these transistors are connected via resistors Rx, Ry, Ra, respec tively, to the terminal U0 of the missile.
  • a direct current source BL is provided in the control installation L, one pole of this source being connected via resistors Qx, Qy, Qa, respectively, to the wires Dx, Dy, Da, respectively, while the opposite pole is directly connected to O and in this manner to the wire Dr and this line is connected in the missile also to the 0 terminal thereof and serves in this manner as a return lead for all signals transmitted to the missile.
  • control installation L three transducer devices, illustrated in the form of control means acting as switches Wx, Wy, Wa, are provided for transmitting the direction control signal Mx, My, respectively and the arming signal Ma, the switches just mentioned being connected between the general conductor 0 and the line connections 1x, 1y, 1a, respectively.
  • the individual switches Wx, Wy, Wa are actuated mechanically by means indicated by the symbols Ma, My, Mx, respectively.
  • the switches Wx, Wy are normally open and are closed for the purpose of transmitting impulses only periodically for a shorter or longer period of time. Since details of these means do not form a part of the present invention, these means are shown only diagrammatically.
  • the switch means Wa is in its simplest form a push-button switch that can be operated mechanically or by hand and is normally in closed position so as to be moved into open position only when an arming signal is to be given.
  • the connecting wire Da remains connected in parallel with the return line connection Dr and in this manner serves also as a return line connection, indicated by the dotted arrow 1.
  • the wire Da acts as a signal conducting wire and only in this case an arming signal Ua, indicated by the dotted arrow II, is transmitted to the missile or generated therein for the purpose of moving the safety control means into its arming position.
