军用直升机RPGs主动防护技术应用展望

Prospect for the Application of Military Helicopter Active RPGs Protection

随着反恐和低强度作战模式成为常态,军用直升机面对的以RPGs(火箭推进榴弹)为代表的非制导武器威胁日益增多,直升机现有生存力技术面临着挑战。探讨了作战环境下的威胁类型以及国内外包括地面装甲车辆在内的军事装备众多RPG主被动防护技术;总结了现有军用装备RPGs主被动防护技术与军用直升机的适用匹配性;提出了军用直升机RPG主动防护技术未来需求和研究方向。初步研究表明:对于专用武装直升机,最佳生存策略是采取迅猛机动方式规避;对于运输直升机,较为合理的对抗方案是采取动能拦截进行硬杀伤;上述有效措施都基于探测/评估来袭RPG威胁的技术取得突破。

It has long been acknowledged that military helicopters were vulnerable to ground-launched cheap threats,in particular the rocket-propelled grenade.Current helicopter threat mitigation strategies relied on a combination of operational tactics and selectively-placed armor plating which offered little protection.This work analyzed a number of active and passive RPG protection techniques for the military equipment including ground vehicle and summarized the application matching between the aforementioned techniques and the military helicopters.The review showed the future demands of military helicopter active RPG protection technologies.The conclusion showed that the best possible survivability strategy for dedicated attack helicopter was to predict the trajectory of the incoming RPG threat and use this information to adopt aggressive evasive maneuvers and the only reasonable way to increase transport helicopter survivability once RPG engagement was initiated was to use the killing vehicle for achieving the hard killing of RPG.
