Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clarification device for armored vehicles with a rotatable and stabilized armored dome, which receives day and night vision devices and reconnaissance devices and in which angled mirrors are arranged in a ring shape in accordance with an observer located on an observer seat, of which an elevating angle mirror pointing in the main direction of observation with a relatively large field of view is provided, which is stabilized in the elevation plane.
  • Such arrangements are known and are arranged in a dome shape in the roof of the armored vehicle or in the roof of the tank tower as an observation and reconnaissance unit.
  • the observer area is covered by a bell-shaped armored dome, which projects significantly above the roof of the armored vehicle or the turret. Furthermore, a stabilized rotary movement of the armored dome can be carried out.
  • This known design of an observation site essentially enables orientation in the field. To detect and combat targets, it is necessary to hand over the recognized target to the gunner on the main target device in a more or less correct manner. However, the dangers of a misjudgment and the time involved cannot be ruled out.
  • a disadvantage of these known dome constructions is also the insufficient design of the roof armor, which has to protrude significantly above the roof of the armored vehicle if a sufficient number of angular angles are available in a given small installation diameter.
  • mirrors are to be installed, which allow a complete all-round view to be carried out; because only with a raised dome roof and a correspondingly high one Seating position of the observer. With regard to the viewing plane of the angle mirror, a sufficiently large viewing angle can be achieved in each angle mirror.
  • the object of the invention is to create a fully-fledged target and reconnaissance site, which enables a modular construction and ensures simple replacement of the sighting means without the need for complex interfaces.
  • the day and night vision devices and the target devices form an interchangeable compact unit together with the angle mirror for the main observation direction, which unit also contains an actuator and elements for the measuring, regulating and control electronics in the unit Receives devices, the parts of the day and night vision devices of the target devices and the angle mirror determining the main line of sight being arranged so that they can be raised and stabilized with the aid of a common pivot axis in the unit.
  • the angle mirror unit can thus be supplemented by corresponding prisms and mirrors, so that all image information arriving from the main observation direction is recorded and passed on to the individual processing optics.
  • the compact unit also makes it possible to use the stabilization signals received for tracking a main weapon, so that a full serving and firing point is created for the main weapon.
  • the insights into the angle mirrors are arranged in one plane and that the magnifying viewing means in the main observation direction has an insight below this plane such that the distance and the inclination are determined by the radius of movement of the head of an observer.
  • the views into the angle mirrors are arranged in one plane and that the view into the magnifying viewing means is connected to the head of the observer via a flexible, image-transmitting fiber optic in such a way that both the direct view into the angle mirror , as well as an insight into the magnifying sight is possible.
  • This has the additional effect that the observer can use the magnifying viewing means even when the vehicle is moving in its normal sitting position and is not impaired by driving vibrations.
  • fiber optics even when using fiber optics, he maintains sufficient contact with the dome system in order to be aware of the line of sight at all times without using additional information.
  • the unit formed has handles in the form of directional handles that are rigidly connected to the unit.
  • the observer seat is aligned in the main direction of observation and is rotatably held by springs.
  • the unit formed is coupled to a secondary weapon arranged on the armored dome.
  • an armored dome in a tower, which is rotatably mounted in the armored roof 3 via a dome ring 1 and a ball bearing 2.
  • the armored dome has an exit hatch 4 for an observer 20, which can be actuated from the inside via a spindle drive 5.
  • angle mirrors 6, which together with an angle mirror 7 for a main observation direction 11 enable an all-round view.
  • the angle mirror 7 is integrated in a unit 8, which also accommodates additional observation means, such as main target devices 9 for the day, main target device 10 for the night and other information means, such as range finders.
  • All information from the main observation direction 11 is fed to the individual viewing means via a stabilized mirror-prism unit 7 ', 9', 10 '. Furthermore, elements for the associated measuring, regulating and control electronics 13 are also integrated in the unit 8. The elements 7 ', 9', 10 'are pivotally mounted about an axis 12 and adjustable via handles 14, 15 as directional handles.
  • the tracking of the armored dome and the pivoting movement of the elements 7 ', 9', 10 ' is initiated by assigned control buttons 16 on the handle 14.
  • the rotary movement is carried out as a lateral directional movement via a directional drive 18, a measuring gear 19 tapping the corresponding position.
  • Additional keys 17 are used to trigger additional functions, such as target assignment to another execution location, target acceptance and operation of a secondary weapon 26 and firing a main weapon.
  • a seat 21 is provided for an observer 20, which can be rotated to a limited extent on both sides about a column 22 and allows the observer to follow the rotational movement of the reconnaissance device with his body.
  • a return spring (not shown in more detail) is installed in the column 22, which automatically brings the seat back in the main observation direction 11 if the observer does not turn it with his body out of this direction.
  • the view 25 into the magnifying viewing means is in relation to the view 32 into the angle mirror in FIG its inclination and its height distance positioned so that an optimal adaptation to the head of the observer 20 inclining from the normal sitting position to the insights 25 is ensured.
  • FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the arrangement of the main viewing unit 8 in connection with 6 angle mirrors 6, which provide a 1: 1 all-round view.
  • the unit 8 combines all the viewing means for the main viewing direction 11 in a very compact manner, so that a considerable installation scope is available within the coupling plate 1 for the angle mirror 6.
  • This makes it possible to design each angle mirror with the necessary width in order to realize a sufficiently large viewing angle range for each angle mirror, despite the deep viewing position 32 of the observer 20 and the flat design of the dome armor 1, 4 which is possible with it.
  • the installation unit 8 contains in its upper part the view 7 for the angle mirror in the main viewing direction as well as the views 9 for the magnifying day vision device and the view 10 for the magnifying night vision device. Rangefinder, also included in the unit and use one of the views mentioned.
  • the unit 8 contains the control electronics 13 with a control panel and the rigidly attached handles 14, 15.
  • the unit 8 is designed on its sides so that the neighboring angle mirrors 6 directly connect with the views 9 of the unit 8.
  • FIG. 4 a top view of the unit 8 from the direction of the observer is shown as a single unit.
  • the unit has two angle mirrors 6 and an angle mirror view 23 at the same height as the other angle mirror views 24. Below the view 23 are the two eyepieces 25 for the magnifying optics.
  • the measuring, regulating and control electronics 13 contains the components and the control panel for the entire reconnaissance device.
  • a part of the dome lying outside the armored roof 3 is shown with a secondary weapon 26 attached to it, which is attached laterally next to the exit hatch 4 on a weapon carrier 27 and is raised in height with the aid of a directional drive 28. On the side, the weapon is adjusted parallel to the main observation direction 11. If necessary, the secondary weapon 26 can also be aimed mechanically.
  • FIG. 7 An alternative is shown in FIG. 7. It is provided here for the view into the magnifying optics 25 that the observer has an insight into the magnifying viewing means from the normal sitting position via flexible image-transmitting fiber optics 29. This is possible with the help of a carrying strap 30 placed on the head of the observer 20, which carries both the insights 31 into the fiber optics in the area of the eyes and also allows the 1: 1 viewing means 32 to be observed directly without additional aids.
