Definitions

  • a device for measuring the projectile velocity at the mouth of a gun barrel is known. This comprises two spaced apart from each other on a support tube, responsive to change in a magnetic flux sensors that are in communication with an evaluation.
  • Additional sources of error are in particular the unknown target movements between the time of firing the projectile and its arrival at the target.
  • the probable position can be especially for longer flight distances of the projectile. difficult to predetermine the goal at the meeting point.
  • models of the target movement are formulated and controlled with measurement data of the target in order to identify the kinematics of the target. These data are then used in the fire control to predict the target position after the expected flight time, usually extrapolated.
  • the measurements are purely positional determinations.
  • the target speed and possibly the target acceleration are derived from these and used for extrapolation.
  • the accuracy of the extrapolated data is particularly dependent on the quality of the acceleration estimate.
  • the Fire Department will refuse to fire.
  • the known residuals of the Filters ie, the difference between the estimate and the measurement, are therefore less suitable for this purpose because they only include the position errors to the target. In a target maneuver, it always takes some time before the filter transforms the generated residuals into acceleration. This is spoken by the settling of the filter.
  • the total time delay between the target maneuver and the time of the arrival of the projectile, whose fire elements take into account these maneuvers, at the target is composed
  • Time delay settling of the filter + flight time of the projectile + remaining dead times.
  • test projectiles which can be referred to as "closed loop.”
  • closed loop To statistically improve the measurement results of the test projectiles, they are fired in a limited number in succession, a burst of fire whose first shots are measured in the target It must be longer than the projectile flying time if its last shots are to benefit from the corresponding corrections Depending on the application, such measuring systems are complicated and also expensive.
  • the invention takes on the task of specifying a method which assists a surgeon in the choice of the best burst of fire, especially in target maneuvers.
  • the invention is based on the idea to use a known calculation algorithm of a real shooting to determine the best moment of the fire triggering on moving targets, but not really trigger the fire command. This is purely hypothetical. Data is thereby determined and used by continuously calculating and collecting the fire commands and the associated prospective meeting points.
  • the method is based on calculating the fire commands and the expected meeting point without actually triggering the fire.
  • the goal is sought, the algo- rithm is switched on and this calculates everything else hypothetically.
  • In the algorithm can be contained thereby also the controlling of the guns as basis for the fire order.
  • the actual target position is determined and the error distance between the target and the predicted meeting point is calculated. This gives a statement about how exactly would have been shot. Although this information is obsolete by the flight time, but can be generated continuously and provide important information about the course of the expected hit probability.
  • the error in the target may be a minimum distance between the trajectories of the projectile and the target. If the time at the finish also plays a role, as in the case of disintegrating projectiles or grenades with a time fuse, the distance between the two at the time of disassembly is decisive. Alternatively, angle errors may be considered. Also, a suitable combination of different error definitions is conceivable, but the result is described advantageously with a scalable size.
  • current or quasi-current additional data are preferably made available to the operator via the display.
  • a software consideration in the algorithm is provided, wherein the graphical representation can be maintained.
  • a suitable measure of the hit error thus results as soon as the target approaches the meeting point calculated in advance.
  • the calculated measure of the hit errors is graphically displayed, continuously updated and additionally made available to the surgeon or algorithm. There is no correction of the fire commands instead, rather than a costly measurement in the target area, the operator a method / presentation made available, which support him in the choice of the most favorable moment of the fire triggering.
  • FIG. 4 shows the representation from FIG. 3 with a first additional information
  • FIG. 5 shows the representation of FIG. 3 with a further additional information.
  • FIG. 1 shows a directional gun labeled 1, which fights a target 2 from a computer 3 with data.
  • the computer 3 is electrically connected to the gun 1 as well as to a display device 4 for an operator 5.
  • the target measurements are usually synchronized with the base clock of the fire control, so they do not coincide with the predictable hit points P1 - P3.
  • Fig. 2 a part of a burst of fire is shown.
  • the flight time to the target 2 in the example shown is two to three fire cycles.
  • the data is unified in time by a suitable interpolation.
  • the gun data will be kept for at least the duration of the projectile flight. As a result of the target movement, a certain amount of time expands so that no or more target measurements occur between two shots, which is taken into account in the data processing.
  • T W time window
  • the data is graphically represented as a left-moving curve 6.
  • the age of the most recent data equals the time of flight and is plotted on the right side of the window (T).
  • T F In order to improve the obsolete data T F , additional information is preferably integrated into the method, which gives the surgeon 5 other relevant information Of origin so that the operator 5 can determine if the time had been properly selected also from the point of view of T F.
  • the surgeon 5 additionally has data provided with T F / 2 as part curve (g) graphically (FIG. 4).
  • the partial curve (g) indicates in the example shown that the current moment is not favorable, as was assumed on the basis of FIG. 3, since the hit errors increase again.
  • Another source of additional data may be the estimated accelerations from the filter. These are updated continuously with the help of the latest target measurement.
  • the direct observation of the goal 2 offers. Before an aircraft 2 exercises a maneuver, it must change its position relative to the direction of flight. In this case, as shown in Fig. 5, a video image of the target 2 can be displayed in the display diagram of the display 4. This also provides up-to-date data or additional information that the operator 5 takes into account in assisting him in choosing the most favorable moment of the fire triggering.
  • the graphical representations according to FIGS. 3 to 5 therefore support the surgeon 5, who interprets these displayed data in such a way that he can conclude from the trend of the processes on the future development of the hit errors.
  • An alternative implementation of the invention is to automate the process by a suitable algorithm to simplify the presentation of the result, for example with a lamp or to fire the fire by a fire command.
