VEHICLE SELF-DEFENCE SYSTEM

摘要

The proposed vehicle self-defence system is provided with a radar unit (2) for the detection of incoming projectiles and measurement of their trajectory parameters. Inclined launch tubes (3) and an anti-projectile unit (1) with a communications line (6) are mounted on the upper part of the vehicle, for example around the turret of a tank. The anti-projectile unit (1) comprises a box-like casing (7) with a fragmenting covering which has a directional action and is made of a non-metallic material, and a bursting charge (9) in the form of a panel. An incoming shell is destroyed in the vehicle's immediate vicinity. The anti-projectile unit (1) can have a pulse reaction motor. The self-defence system has a radar unit (2) with a ranging device, a unit for calculating the moment at which the incoming projectile will enter the system's destruction zone, and a unit for selecting rounds and issuing firing and detonation commands. Detonation commands are transmitted along a wire to the fuse of the anti-projectile unit.
