Specialist engineer in navigation and ballistics. Endangered ballistics. What disciplines will students be introduced to?

The depressing situation in the field of ballistic support threatens the development of almost all means of armed warfare

The development of a domestic weapons system is impossible without a theoretical base, the formation of which, in turn, is impossible without highly qualified specialists and the knowledge they generate. Today, ballistics has been relegated to the background. But without the effective application of this science, it is difficult to expect success in the field of design activities related to the creation of weapons and military equipment.

Artillery (then rocket and artillery) weapons were the most important component of Russia's military power at all stages of its existence. Ballistics, one of the main military-technical disciplines, was aimed at solving theoretical problems arising in the process of developing rocket and artillery weapons (RAV). Its development has always been in the area of ​​special attention of military scientists.

Soviet school

The results of the Great Patriotic War seemed to irrefutably confirm that Soviet artillery is the best in the world, far ahead of the developments of scientists and designers in almost all other countries. But already in July 1946, on the personal instructions of Stalin, by resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, the Academy of Artillery Sciences (AAS) was created as a center for the further development of artillery and especially new artillery equipment, capable of providing a strictly scientific approach to solving all already pressing and emerging issues.

Nevertheless, in the second half of the 50s, the inner circle convinced Nikita Khrushchev, who at that time headed the country, that artillery was a cave technology, which it was time to abandon in favor of rocket technology. A number of artillery design bureaus were closed (for example OKB-172, OKB-43, etc.) and others were repurposed (Arsenal, Barricades, TsKB-34, etc.).

The greatest damage was caused to the Central Scientific Research Institute of Artillery Weapons (TsNII-58), located next to OKB-1 Korolev in Podlipki near Moscow. TsNII-58 was headed by chief artillery designer Vasily Grabin. Of the 140 thousand field guns that took part in the battles of World War II, more than 120 thousand were manufactured based on his designs. The famous Grabin ZIS-3 divisional gun was rated by the world's highest authorities as a masterpiece of design thought.

There were several scientific schools of ballistics in the country at that time: Moscow (based on TsNII-58, NII-3, VA named after F.E. Dzerzhinsky, Moscow Higher Technical School named after N.E. Bauman), Leningrad (based on the Mikhailovsky Art Academy, KB Arsenal ", Naval Academy of Shipbuilding and Weapons named after A. N. Krylov, partly "Voenmekha"), Tula, Tomsk, Izhevsk, Penza. Khrushchev’s line of “rocketization” of weapons caused irreparable damage to all of them, leading to virtually their complete collapse and liquidation.

The collapse of scientific schools of ballistics of barrel systems occurred against the backdrop of a shortage and interest in the speedy training of ballistics specialists in the rocket and space profile. As a result, many of the most famous and talented ballistic artillerymen quickly retrained and were in demand by the newly emerging industry.

Today the situation is fundamentally different. The lack of demand for high-level professionals is observed in conditions of a significant shortage of these professionals with an extremely limited list of ballistic scientific schools existing in Russia. To count the organizations in which such schools, or at least their pitiful fragments, are still preserved, the fingers of one hand are enough. The number of doctoral dissertations defended on ballistics over the past ten years amounts to only a few.

What is ballistics

Despite the significant differences in modern branches of ballistics in terms of their content, in addition to internal ones, which at one time were widespread, including the processes of studying the functioning and calculation of solid propellant engines of ballistic missiles (BMs), most of them are united by the fact that the object of study is the movement of the body in various environments, not limited by mechanical connections.

If we leave aside the independent sections of internal and experimental ballistics, the list of issues that make up the modern content of this science allows us to distinguish two major directions in it, the first of which is usually called design ballistics, the second - ballistic support for firing (or otherwise - executive ballistics ).

Design ballistics (ballistic design - PB) forms the theoretical basis of the initial stage of designing projectiles, missiles, aircraft and spacecraft for various purposes. Ballistic support (BS) for shooting serves as a basic section of the theory of shooting and is essentially one of the most important elements of this related military science.

Thus, modern ballistics is an interspecific applied science in its focus and interdisciplinary in its content, without the knowledge and effective application of which it is difficult to expect success in the field of design activities related to the creation of weapons and military equipment.

Creation of promising complexes

In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the development of both guided and adjustable projectiles (UAS and CAS) with semi-active laser seekers, and projectiles using autonomous homing systems. The defining problems of creating this type of ammunition, of course, primarily include problems with instrumentation, however, many questions of weapons, in particular the choice of trajectories that guarantee a reduction in errors in launching a projectile into the “selectable” miss zone when firing at maximum ranges, remain open.

Note, however, that UAS and CAS with self-aiming combat elements (SPBE), no matter how advanced they are, are not able to solve all the tasks assigned to artillery to defeat the enemy. Different fire missions can and should be solved with different ratios of precision-guided and unguided munitions. As a result, for high-precision and reliable destruction of the entire possible range of targets, a single ammunition load should include conventional, cluster, special (additional reconnaissance of targets, illumination, electronic warfare, etc.) ballistic projectiles with multifunctional and remote fuses, as well as guided and adjustable projectiles of various types .

All this, of course, is impossible without solving the corresponding BO problems, first of all, developing algorithms for automated input of initial firing and gun guidance settings, simultaneous control of all shells in a salvo of an artillery battery, creation of universal algorithmic and software for solving problems of hitting targets, both ballistic and software the support must satisfy the conditions of information compatibility with combat control and reconnaissance means of any level. Another important condition is the requirement to implement appropriate algorithms (including evaluation of primary measurement information) in real time.

A fairly promising direction for creating a new generation of artillery systems, taking into account limited financial capabilities, should be considered increasing the firing accuracy by adjusting the firing settings and the firing time of the fuse for unguided ammunition or correcting the trajectory using the executive elements of the on-board projectile flight correction system for guided ammunition.

Priority issues

As is known, the development of the theory and practice of shooting, the improvement of means of armed warfare lead to the requirement for periodic revision and publication of new rules of shooting (FS) and fire control (FC) of artillery. As evidenced by the practice of developing modern PS, the level of existing fire fighting equipment is not a limiting factor for improving PS, even taking into account the need to introduce sections in them regarding the features of shooting and fire control when performing fire missions with high-precision ammunition, reflecting the experience of counter-terrorism operations in the North Caucasus and during conducting combat operations in hot spots.

This can be confirmed by the development of various types of active protection systems (APS) ranging from the simplest APS for armored vehicles to APS for silo launchers of ballistic missile engines.

The development of modern types of high-precision weapons, such as tactical missiles, small-sized aviation, naval and other missile systems, cannot be carried out without further development and improvement of algorithmic support for strapdown inertial navigation systems (SINS), integrated with a satellite navigation system.

The initial prerequisites for the possibility of practical implementation of the corresponding algorithms were brilliantly confirmed during the creation of the Iskander-M OTR, as well as during the experimental launches of the Tornado-S RS.

The widespread use of satellite navigation does not exclude the need to use optical-electronic correlation-extreme navigation systems (CENS), not only on OTR, but also on strategic cruise missiles and conventional (non-nuclear) BRDD warheads.

The significant disadvantages of CENS, associated with the significant complication of preparing flight missions (FP) for them compared to satellite navigation systems, are more than compensated for by their advantages such as autonomy and noise immunity.

Among the problematic issues, although only indirectly related to BO methods, associated with the use of CENS, is the need to create special information support in the form of images (orthophotomaps) of the terrain (and corresponding data banks) that satisfy the climatic season at the moment of missile use, as well as to overcome fundamental difficulties associated with the need to determine the absolute coordinates of protected and camouflaged targets with a maximum error not exceeding 10 meters.

Another problem, directly related to ballistic tasks, is the development of algorithmic support for the formation (calculation) of PP and the issuance of coordinate target designation data for the entire range of missiles (including the aeroballistic configuration) with the communication of the calculation results to the interface objects. In this case, the key document for preparing the PP and standards is the seasonal matrix of planned images of the area of ​​a given radius relative to the target, the difficulties of obtaining which have already been noted above. Preparation of PP for unplanned targets identified during the combat use of the Republic of Kazakhstan can be carried out based on aerial reconnaissance data only if the database contains geo-referenced satellite images of the target area corresponding to the season.

Providing launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) largely depends on the nature of their basing - ground or on board a carrier such as an aircraft or sea (submarine).

While ground-based ICBMs can generally be considered acceptable, at least from the point of view of achieving the required accuracy of delivering a payload to the target, the problems of high-precision launches of submarine-based ballistic missiles (submarines) remain significant.

Among the ballistic problems requiring priority resolution, we list the following:

incorrect use of the WGS model of the Earth's gravitational field (EGF) for ballistic support of ballistic submarine launches during underwater launch;
the need to determine the initial conditions for a rocket launch, taking into account the actual speed of the submarine at the moment of launch;
the requirement to calculate the PP only after receiving a command to launch the rocket;
taking into account the initial launch disturbances on the dynamics of the initial phase of the ballistic missile flight;
the problem of high-precision installation of inertial guidance systems (IHS) on a moving base and the use of optimal filtering methods;
creation of effective algorithms for correcting ISN on the active part of the trajectory according to external landmarks.

The final issue discussed relates to the problems of developing a rational design for a promising group of space assets and synthesizing its structure for information support for the use of high-precision weapons.

The appearance and composition of a promising group of space weapons should be determined by the needs of information support for the branches and branches of the RF Armed Forces.

With regard to assessing the level of BP of the tasks of the BP stage, we will limit ourselves to the analysis of the problems of improving the BP of space launch vehicles (SCs), strategic planning and ballistic design of dual-use unmanned near-space vehicles.

The theoretical foundations of LV spacecraft power supply, laid in the mid-50s, that is, almost 60 years ago, paradoxically, have not lost their significance today and continue to remain relevant in terms of the conceptual provisions contained in them.

The explanation for this, generally speaking, amazing phenomenon can be seen in the following:

the fundamental nature of the theoretical development of power supply methods at the initial stage of development of domestic astronautics;
a stable list of target tasks solved by the spacecraft launch vehicle, which have not undergone (from the standpoint of power supply problems) fundamental changes over the past more than 50-year period;
the presence of a significant advance in the field of software and algorithmic support for solving boundary value problems that form the basis of the methods of BP LV spacecraft, and their universalization.

With the advent of the task of promptly launching satellites of small mass and dimensions of the communication type or satellites of space monitoring systems of the Earth into low-altitude or geosynchronous orbits, the fleet of existing launch vehicles turned out to be insufficient.

The nomenclature of the known types of classical launch vehicles of the light and heavy classes also turned out to be unacceptable from an economic point of view. For this reason, in recent decades (practically since the beginning of the 90s), numerous projects of intermediate-class launch vehicles began to appear, suggesting the possibility of their air launch to launch a payload into a given orbit (such as MAX “Svityaz”, CS “Burlak”, etc.) .

In relation to this type of launch vehicle, the problems of power supply, although the number of studies devoted to their development already number in the dozens, continue to remain far from exhausted.

New approaches and compromise solutions are needed

The use of heavy-class ICBMs and UR-100N UTTH to be eliminated as a launch vehicle deserves special discussion.

As you know, the Dnepr launch vehicle was created on the basis of the R-36M type rocket. Equipped with an upper stage when launched from a silo from the Baikonur Cosmodrome or directly from the Strategic Missile Forces position area, it is capable of launching a payload weighing about four tons into low orbits. The Rokot launch vehicle, which is based on the UR-100N UTTH ICBM and the Breeze upper stage, ensures the launch of spacecraft weighing up to two tons into low orbits.

The payload mass of the Start and Start-1 launch vehicles (based on the Topol RK ICBM) when launching satellites from the Plesetsk cosmodrome is only 300 kilograms. Finally, LVs based on sea-based rocket launchers such as RSM-25, RSM-50 and RSM-54 are capable of launching a vehicle weighing no more than one hundred kilograms into low-Earth orbit.

It is obvious that a launch vehicle of this type is not capable of solving any significant problems of space exploration. Nevertheless, as auxiliary means of launching commercial satellites, micro- and minisatellites, they fill their niche. From the standpoint of assessing the contribution to solving BP problems, their creation was not of particular interest and was based on obvious and well-known developments of the 60–70s of the last century.

Over the years of space exploration, periodically modernized power supply techniques have undergone significant evolutionary changes associated with the emergence of various types of means and systems launched into near-Earth orbits. Particularly relevant is the development of power supplies for various types of satellite systems (SS).

Almost today, the SS plays a decisive role in the formation of a unified information space of the Russian Federation. These SS primarily include telecommunication and communication systems, navigation systems, Earth remote sensing (ERS), specialized SS for operational control, management, coordination, etc.

If we talk about remote sensing satellites, primarily optical-electronic and radar surveillance satellites, then it should be noted that they have a significant design and operational lag behind foreign developments. Their creation was based on far from the most effective BP techniques.

As is known, the classical approach to building a satellite system to form a unified information space is associated with the need to develop a significant fleet of highly specialized spacecraft and satellite systems.

At the same time, in the context of the rapid development of microelectronics and microtechnical technologies, a transition to the creation of multi-service dual-use spacecraft is possible and, moreover, necessary. Operation of the corresponding spacecraft must be ensured in low-Earth orbits, within altitudes from 450 to 800 kilometers with an inclination of 48 to 99 degrees. Space assets of this type must be adapted to a wide range of launch vehicles: the Dnepr, Kosmos-3M, Rokot, Soyuz-1 launch vehicles, as well as the Soyuz-FG and Soyuz-2 launch vehicles with implementation of a paired spacecraft launch scheme.

In addition, in the near future there will be a need to significantly tighten the requirements for the accuracy of solving problems of coordinate-time support for motion control of existing and promising spacecraft of the types under discussion.

In the presence of such contradictory and partially mutually exclusive requirements, there is a need to revise existing BP methods in favor of creating fundamentally new approaches that allow finding compromise solutions.

Another direction insufficiently supported by existing BP methods is the creation of multi-satellite constellations based on high-tech small (or even micro) satellites. Depending on the composition of the orbital constellation, such satellites are able to provide both regional and global service to territories, reduce the intervals between observations of a fixed surface area at given latitudes, and solve many other problems that are currently considered, at best, purely theoretical.

Where and what are ballisticians taught?

It seems that the presented results of even a very brief analysis are quite sufficient to draw the conclusion: ballistics has by no means exhausted its capabilities, which continue to remain in great demand and extremely important from the point of view of the prospects for creating modern highly effective means of armed warfare.

As for the bearers of this science – ballistics specialists of all categories and ranks, their “population” in Russia today is endangered. The average age of domestic ballistics specialists with more or less noticeable qualifications (at the level of candidates, not to mention doctors of science) has long exceeded the retirement age. There is not a single civilian university left in Russia that maintains a ballistics department. Only the department of ballistics at the Moscow State Technical University named after N. E. Bauman, created back in 1941 by general and full member of the Academy of Sciences V. E. Slukhotsky, survived until the end. But it also ceased to exist in 2008 as a result of reassignment to produce specialists in the field of supporting space activities.

The only organization of higher professional education in Moscow that continues to train military ballisticians is the Academy of the Strategic Missile Forces named after Peter the Great. But this is such a drop in the ocean that does not cover the needs of even the Ministry of Defense, and there is no need to talk about the defense industry. Graduates of universities in St. Petersburg, Penza and Saratov also do not make a difference.

It is impossible not to say at least a few words about the main state document regulating the training of ballistics in the country - the Federal State Educational Standard (FSES) of higher professional education in the direction of 161700 (for the qualification "Bachelor" approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation on December 22, 2009 No. 779, for the qualification " Master" – 01/14/2010 No. 32).

It spells out any competencies - from participation in the commercialization of the results of research activities (this is for ballistics!) to the ability to prepare documentation on quality management of technical processes at production sites.

But in the discussed Federal State Educational Standard it is impossible to find such competencies as the ability to compile firing tables and develop ballistic algorithms for calculating installations for artillery firing and missile launches, calculate corrections, the main elements of the trajectory and the experimental dependence of the ballistic coefficient on the throwing angle, and many others from which ballistics began five centuries ago.

Finally, the authors of the standard completely forgot about the presence of an internal ballistics section. This branch of science existed for several centuries. The creators of the Federal State Educational Standard for Ballistics eliminated it with one stroke of the pen. A natural question arises: if, in their opinion, from now on such “cave specialists” are no longer needed, and this is confirmed by a state-level document, who will calculate the internal ballistics of barrel systems, who will create solid fuel engines for operational-tactical and intercontinental ballistic missiles?

The saddest thing is that the results of the activities of such “skilled in education”, of course, will not appear instantly. For now, we are still eating through Soviet reserves and reserves, both of a scientific and technical nature and in the field of human resources. Perhaps we will be able to hold out on these reserves for some more time. But what will we do in ten years, when the relevant defense personnel are guaranteed to disappear “as a class”? Who will bear responsibility for this and how?

With all the unconditional and undeniable importance of the personnel of the sites and workshops of manufacturing enterprises, technological and design personnel of research institutes and design bureaus of the defense industry, the revival of the defense industry should begin with the education and support of theoretical professionals capable of generating ideas and predicting the development of promising weapons in the long term. Otherwise, we will be destined for a long time to play the role of catching up.

The development and creation of flying mechanisms and ships in the modern world have become the most important tasks that require a high level of performance skills and exceptional professional qualifications. This area requires daily improvement, new thoughts and ideas, the development of existing technologies and the creation of new pieces of equipment.

If you have a mathematical mind and want to acquire a large amount of technical knowledge, and subsequently use it for the benefit of the country, then the specialty “Ballistics and Hydroaerodynamics” is exactly what you need to obtain a higher education and successful future employment. It is difficult to enter such universities, but then a job is guaranteed.

But what kind of specialty is “Ballistics and Hydroaerodynamics”?

Which university should I go to?

This specialty is quite narrow and requires qualified teaching staff. In our country there are only 4 higher educational institutions that provide training in this area:

1. (national research university). Judging by the ratings and reviews, “Ballistics and Hydroaerodynamics” at the Moscow Aviation Institute is in demand among students.
2. Novosibirsk
3. Baltic State Technical University "VOENMEH" named after D. F. Ustinov.
4. National Research

The most prestigious university

The most prestigious and has repeatedly proven itself in training specialists in the field of 03/24/03 “Ballistics and Hydroaerodynamics” is the Moscow Aviation Institute. MAI is a modern educational institution. In preparing highly qualified personnel, the institute combines the fundamental traditions of Russian academic education and the latest achievements in the field of advanced educational technologies.

The institute also trains specialists in the specialties “Flight dynamics and control of aerospace systems”, “Engineering in aerospace medicine”, “Missile systems and astronautics”, etc.

What is required for admission to the specialty “Ballistics and Hydroaerodynamics”?

Enrollment in this specialty is possible only on the basis of eleven school classes, i.e. complete general education.

The future of the industry

According to foresight experts, experts in assessing the prospects for economic development, a significant increase in the variety of flying assets is expected in the aviation sector. There will be more manned civil small aircraft, airplanes, helicopters and, possibly, airships. In the next 10–15 years, it is likely that aircraft will appear, the cost of which will be comparable to a car.

Unmanned aviation will actively develop. Inside cities, unmanned aerial vehicles will be used to deliver goods, during construction, to control traffic and security. A revival of aeronautics is expected - airships on a new technological basis, used in hard-to-reach areas.

The appearance of a large number of new private aircraft in the sky will require changes in flight dispatch systems. Safety oversight will increase and this will place new demands on infrastructure construction and intelligent dispatch support systems.

There will also be changes in the construction of aircraft: the use of composites will reduce the weight and increase the strength of the aircraft, the development and use of intelligent control systems will ensure the efficiency of navigation and ensure safety on air “roads”, the use of eco-fuel and the transition to electric motors will make air transport not only the fastest and powerful, but also the most environmentally friendly.
• What will emerge as a result of these changes?
• Unmanned aerial vehicles in transport and civil aviation.
• Affordable small civil aviation.
• Economical and environmentally friendly engine types.
• Intelligent systems for monitoring and controlling aircraft.
