Definitions
- the invention relates to a flight destination simulation device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- Such a device is known from DE-OS 21 28 961.
- an anti-aircraft device can be increased by carrying out, in addition to the radar-controlled flight destination tracking modes, other optical control methods with visual / manual destination tracking.
- Successful flight target control in a visual operating mode depends on the precise manual tracking of the optical aiming devices. A prerequisite for this is good perception and responsiveness of the operator during the tracking process. The operator observes the target in the crosshairs of the optical aiming device and guides it with the movement of the flight target with the aid of a joystick. Proper handling of the joystick when tracking fast-flying and / or highly maneuvering objects is difficult and requires a lot of constant practice.
- the operating personnel In order to be able to achieve high tracking accuracy at all times, the operating personnel must not only be thoroughly trained but also have real-time, realistic training options available after training in order to maintain their skills and learn to adapt to new threat situations.
- An anti-aircraft tank is known from EP 0 151 255 A3, in which simulation devices are provided in the tank for training the operating personnel.
- This flight destination simulation device contains a memory for flight destination data, which is integrated as an autonomous functional unit in the combat area of the tank. To specify simulated flights, the flight destination data recorded during the tracking operations of real flight destinations can be stored in the memory.
- the system's own display media are included in the functions.
- a target simulator for optical target tracking is known from US Pat. No. 3,691,284.
- a target symbol is shown in the optical beam path via a semi-transparent deflecting mirror. The movement of this symbol and the size adapted to the distance are largely true to nature.
- An optical target simulator is known from EP 0 118 604 A2.
- the target image supplied by a mini video display is shown in the beam path of the direct optical view via a semi-transparent deflecting mirror.
- this device can also be provided twice for a binocular view.
- the aim is to implement a realistic and inexpensive simulation device for training and training the team of an anti-aircraft device in the handling of the optical aiming means with visual / manual tracking of the destination with reasonable effort, so that the destination simulation can be carried out autonomously in each anti-aircraft device.
- the simulation mode should also be more effective in that measures are provided which enable the simulation scenarios to be adapted to the particular environment of the anti-aircraft device.
- the image overlay of the simulated target representation with an image of the natural background increases the fidelity to reality in the optical aiming device.
- the fully autonomous simulation operation that can be carried out with the aid of these devices can impart a high degree of practice to a crew that the correct handling of the control stick of the optical directional means is ensured even when tracking fast-flying and / or highly maneuvering flying objects. In this way, adapting to new threat situations can also be learned.
- the flight simulation device is based on the presence of a digital fire control computer in the anti-aircraft device.
- flight path data with further attributes for the simulation display and the programs for the simulation process are stored.
- a graphics-capable video processor device with image repetition memory converts the simulation data into video format.
- the simulation scenario is shown on video displays.
- the optical directing means consist of an optical system 1 for the direct view, filter 3, an eyepiece 4 with laser protection, into which the operator's eye 6 can see through a crosshair 5 as a fixed mark (FIG. 1).
- a direct image superimposition of the direct image obtained via the optics 1 with the simulation scenario converted into video signals takes place using a video display 7, a beam splitting and deflection unit 2 arranged between the optics 1 and the filter 3 of the optical directional means and an optics 8 for imaging the Representations of the video display 7 in the eyepiece image plane.
- the basis of the simulation process is that the polar flight path data, which changes continuously during the simulation process in accordance with the flight path and flight speed, is compared with the current angle settings of the optical sensor. Proportional of these deviations is based on the crosshair and the correct relationship to the field of view, the current target representation on the video display. If the sensor angular positions coincide with the target data, the target representation is located in cross hair 5 of the optical sensor. The size of the target display is correct in relation to the field of view and the simulated target distance. The target display also shows the flight direction, attitude and type of object. At the beginning of the simulation process, a direction mark is displayed at the edge of the image for the operator to orientate himself when the current viewing direction of the sensor is in an angular position in which the simulated target lies outside the field of vision.
- the device allows the simulated flight destination data either to be taken over as a data record from an external device or to be recorded during the course of the pursuit of a real flight destination by radar or an optical device.
- information from the terrain contour, sector restrictions when fighting an object and other important information can be stored and displayed as an image background during the simulation. The This information can be recorded independently of the flight destination data storage and can only be assigned to the flight destination data later. This allows flight destination simulations to be carried out with variable scenarios.
- the simulation device makes it possible to repeat real target flight traces recorded from a location of the anti-aircraft devices as often as desired on this against the natural background by superimposing the simulated target representation on the current optical image.
- flight destination simulation device Another advantage of the flight destination simulation device is the use of simple interfaces of the device, which couple external control and evaluation devices, e.g. enable the current assessment of the training process and the quality of the doctrine.
- FIG. 2 Another possibility of integrating a video display into the optical tracking sensor is shown in FIG. 2.
- an indirect image overlay which is produced by binocular viewing.
- a second eyepiece 22 for a miniature video display is assigned to a one-eyed periscope used as an optical sensor with an eyepiece 21 for a direct view at eye relief.
- This indirect image overlay also allows simulated flight target movements to be represented realistically and thus to track the optical directional means.
- FIG. 3 shows an overview of the structure of the flight destination simulation device as an integrated component of an anti-aircraft device.
- optical target tracking on a visual / manual basis is provided by means of an optical target device 32.
- Both sensor systems 31, 32 are connected to a fire control computer 34 of a data processing system 33, which evaluates the received target data.
- Another data connection exists between a drive device 35 for the sensors and the fire control computer 34 for the transmission of follow-up commands.
- An optical eyepiece 36 for the operator's eye (gunner) is assigned to the optical aiming device 32.
- a directional handle 37 which is also connected to the fire control computer 34, serves the visual / manual Tracking.
- the fire control computer 34 is connected via a data bus to a device 38 which contains a processor and a memory for the preparation and storage of flight path data.
- the device 38 is connected via a further data bus to a device 39 which consists of a graphics-capable video processor device and an image repetition memory.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Flugzielsimulationseinrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a flight destination simulation device according to the preamble of
Eine solche Einrichtung ist aus der DE-OS 21 28 961 bekannt.Such a device is known from DE-OS 21 28 961.
Im Not- oder Schnelleinsatz sowie aus EC- oder Redundanzgründen kann die Wirksamkeit einer Flugabwehreinrichtung dadurch gesteigert werden, daß neben den radargesteuerten Flugzielverfolge-Betriebsarten weitere optische Bekämpfungsarten mit visuell/manueller Flugzielverfolgung durchgeführt werden. Eine erfolgreiche Flugzielbekämpfung in einer visuellen Betriebsart ist von der präzisen manuellen Nachführung der optischen Zieleinrichtungen abhängig. Voraussetzung dafür ist eine gute Wahrnehmungs- und Reaktionsfähigkeit des Bedieners während des Nachführvorganges. Der Bediener beobachtet das Ziel im Fadenkreuz des optischen Richtmittels und führt dieses der Bewegung des Flugzieles mit Hilfe eines Steuerknüppels nach. Die richtige Handhabung des Steuerknüppels bei der Verfolgung schnell fliegender und/oder stark manövrierender Flugobjekte ist schwierig und erfordert ein hohes Maß an ständiger Übung. Um jederzeit hohe Verfolgegenauigkeiten erzielen zu können, muß das Bedienungspersonal nicht nur gründlich ausgebildet sein sondern auch nach der Ausbildung ständig verfügbare wirklichkeitsnahe Trainingsmöglichkeiten zur Verfügung haben, um ihre Fertigkeiten zu erhalten sowie sich auch neuen Bedrohungssituationen anpassen zu lernen.In emergency or rapid deployment, as well as for reasons of EC or redundancy, the effectiveness of an anti-aircraft device can be increased by carrying out, in addition to the radar-controlled flight destination tracking modes, other optical control methods with visual / manual destination tracking. Successful flight target control in a visual operating mode depends on the precise manual tracking of the optical aiming devices. A prerequisite for this is good perception and responsiveness of the operator during the tracking process. The operator observes the target in the crosshairs of the optical aiming device and guides it with the movement of the flight target with the aid of a joystick.

Diese Forderungen sind mit den bisher üblichen externen Simulationsgeräten und Hilfsmitteln nur schwer zu verwirklichen. Dabei spielen die Verfügbarkeit dieser Anlagen bei Inanspruchnahme durch mehrere Flugabwehreinrichtungen und der erforderliche Zeitaufwand eine stark einschränkende Rolle.These requirements are difficult to meet with the usual external simulation devices and tools. The availability of these systems when used by several anti-aircraft devices and the time required play a very restrictive role.
Aus der EP 0 151 255 A3 ist ein Flugabwehrpanzer bekannt, bei dem zur Ausbildung des Bedienpersonals Simulationseinrichtungen im Panzer vorgesehen sind. Diese Flugzielsimulationseinrichtung enthält eine Speicher für Flugzieldaten, der als autonome Funktionseinheit in den Kampfraum des Panzers integriert ist. Zur Vorgabe von simulierten Flügen können die während der Verfolgevorgänge echter Flugziele aufgezeichneten Flugzieldaten in den Speicher eingespeichert werden. Die systemeigenen Anzeigemedien werden in die Funktionen mit einbezogen.An anti-aircraft tank is known from EP 0 151 255 A3, in which simulation devices are provided in the tank for training the operating personnel. This flight destination simulation device contains a memory for flight destination data, which is integrated as an autonomous functional unit in the combat area of the tank. To specify simulated flights, the flight destination data recorded during the tracking operations of real flight destinations can be stored in the memory.

Aus der US-PS 3,691,284 ist ein Zielsimulator für optische Zielverfolgung bekannt. Hierbei wird in den optischen Strahlengang über einen halbdurchlässigen Umlenkspiegel ein Zielsymbol eingeblendet. Die Bewegung dieses Symbols und die der Entfernung angepaßte Größe sind dabei weitgehend naturgetreu.A target simulator for optical target tracking is known from US Pat. No. 3,691,284. A target symbol is shown in the optical beam path via a semi-transparent deflecting mirror. The movement of this symbol and the size adapted to the distance are largely true to nature.
Aus der EP 0 118 604 A2 ist ein optischer Zielsimulator bekannt. Auch hierbei wird in den Strahlengang der optischen Direktsicht über einen halbdurchlässigen Umlenkspiegel das von einem Mini-Videodisplay gelieferte Zielbild eingeblendet. Zur Verbesserung des Zielbildes kann für eine binokulare Betrachtung diese Einrichtung auch doppelt vorgesehen sein.An optical target simulator is known from EP 0 118 604 A2. Here too, the target image supplied by a mini video display is shown in the beam path of the direct optical view via a semi-transparent deflecting mirror. To improve the target image, this device can also be provided twice for a binocular view.
Es wird angestrebt, mit vertretbarem Aufwand eine wirklichkeitsnahe und kostengünstige Simulationseinrichtung zur Ausbildung und zum Training der Mannschaft einer Flugabwehreinrichtung in der Handhabung der optischen Richtmittel bei visuell/manueller Flugzielverfolgung zu realisieren, so daß die Flugzielsimulation in jeder Flugabwehreinrichtung autonom durchführbar ist. Der Simulationsbetrieb soll auch dadurch effektiver werden, daß Maßnahmen vorgesehen sind, die eine Anpassung der Simulationsscenarien an die jeweilige Umgebung der Flugabwehreinrichtung ermöglichen.The aim is to implement a realistic and inexpensive simulation device for training and training the team of an anti-aircraft device in the handling of the optical aiming means with visual / manual tracking of the destination with reasonable effort, so that the destination simulation can be carried out autonomously in each anti-aircraft device. The simulation mode should also be more effective in that measures are provided which enable the simulation scenarios to be adapted to the particular environment of the anti-aircraft device.
Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe durch die im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features specified in
Durch die Bildüberlagerung der simulierten Zieldarstellung mit einem Bild des natürlichen Hintergrundes wird eine Steigerung der Wirklichkeitstreue im optischen Richtmittel erzielt. Der mit Hilfe dieser Einrichtungen durchführbare völlig autonome Simulationsbetrieb kann einer Mannschaft ein so hohes Maß an Übung vermitteln, daß die richtige Handhabung des Steuerknüppels des optischen Richtmittels auch beim Verfolgen schnell fliegender und/oder stark manöverierender Flugobjekte sichergestellt ist. Auf diese Weise kann auch das Anpassen an neue Bedrohungssituationen erlernt werden.The image overlay of the simulated target representation with an image of the natural background increases the fidelity to reality in the optical aiming device. The fully autonomous simulation operation that can be carried out with the aid of these devices can impart a high degree of practice to a crew that the correct handling of the control stick of the optical directional means is ensured even when tracking fast-flying and / or highly maneuvering flying objects. In this way, adapting to new threat situations can also be learned.

Die Flugsimulationseinrichtung basiert auf dem Vorhandensein eines digitalen Feuerleitrechners in der Flugabwehreinrichtung. In einem Zusatzspeicher mit Nahtstellen zum Feuerleitrechner werden Flugbahndaten mit weiteren Attributen für die Simulationsdarstellung und die Programme für den Simulationsablauf gespeichert.The flight simulation device is based on the presence of a digital fire control computer in the anti-aircraft device. In an additional memory with interfaces to the fire control computer, flight path data with further attributes for the simulation display and the programs for the simulation process are stored.
Eine grafikfähige Videoprozessoreinrichtung mit Bildwiederholspeicher setzt die Simulationsdaten in Videoformat um. Die Darstellung des Simulationsscenarios erfolgt auf Video-Displays.A graphics-capable video processor device with image repetition memory converts the simulation data into video format. The simulation scenario is shown on video displays.
Die Integration von Miniatur-Video/Displays in die optischen Verfolgesensoren, z.B. Periskop oder optische Feuerleitrichtsäule, gestattet ein überaus wirklichkeitsnahes Verfahren, die optischen Richtmittel simulierten Flugzielen nachzuführen. Im Prinzip bestehen die optischen Richtmittel aus einem Optiksystem 1 für die Direktsicht, Filter 3, einem Okular 4 mit Laserschutz, in welches das Auge 6 des Bedieners über ein Fadenkreuz 5 als feste Marke Einsicht nimmt (Fig. 1). Eine direkte Bildüberlagerung des über die Optik 1 erhaltenen direkten Bildes mit den in Videosignale umgesetzten Simulationsscenario erfolgt unter Verwendung eines Video-Displays 7 einer zwischen der Optik 1 und dem Filter 3 des optischen Richtmittels angeordneten Strahlteil- und Umlenkeinheit 2 und einer Optik 8 zur Abbildung der Darstellungen des Video-Displays 7 in die Okularbildebene.The integration of miniature video / displays in the optical tracking sensors, eg periscope or optical fire control column, allows a very realistic process tracking optical directional devices to simulated flight destinations. In principle, the optical directing means consist of an
Grundlage des Simulationsverfahrens ist, daß die während des Simulationsablaufes entsprechend der Flugbahn und Fluggeschwindigkeit sich kontinuierlich ändernden polaren Flugbahndaten jeweils mit den aktuellen Winkeleinstellungen des optischen Sensors verglichen werden. Proportional dieser Abweichungen erfolgt ausgehend vom Fadenkreuz und dem richtigen Verhältnis zum Blickfeld die momentane Zieldarstellung auf dem Video-Display. Bei Koinzidenz der Sensor-Winkelstellungen mit den Zieldaten befindet sich die Zieldarstellung im Fadenkreuz 5 des optischen Sensors. Die Größe der Zieldarstellung ist im Verhältnis richtig zum Blickfeld und zur simulierten Zielentfernung. Die Zieldarstellung läßt außerdem Flugrichtung, Fluglage und Art des Flugobjektes erkennen. Am Anfang des Simulationsablaufes wird zur Orientierung des Bedieners am Bildrand eine Richtungsmarke dargestellt, wenn sich die momentane Blickrichtung des Sensors in einer Winkelstellung befindet, in der das simulierte Ziel außerhalb des Blickfeldes liegt.The basis of the simulation process is that the polar flight path data, which changes continuously during the simulation process in accordance with the flight path and flight speed, is compared with the current angle settings of the optical sensor. Proportional of these deviations is based on the crosshair and the correct relationship to the field of view, the current target representation on the video display. If the sensor angular positions coincide with the target data, the target representation is located in
Die Einrichtung gestattet es, die simulierten Flugzieldaten entweder als Datensatz von einer externen Einrichtung zu übernehmen oder während des Ablaufs der Verfolgung eines echten Flugzieles durch Radar oder eine optische Einrichtung aufzunehmen. Zusätzlich können Informationen von der Geländekontur, Sektoreinschränkungen bei der Bekämpfung eines Objektes und andere wichtige Informationen gespeichert und während der Simulation als Bildhintergrund dargestellt werden. Die Aufnahme dieser Informationen kann unabhängig von der Flugzieldatenspeicherung erfolgen und erst später den Flugzieldaten zugeordnet werden. Dadurch können Flugzielsimulationen mit variablen Scenarien durchgeführt werden.The device allows the simulated flight destination data either to be taken over as a data record from an external device or to be recorded during the course of the pursuit of a real flight destination by radar or an optical device. In addition, information from the terrain contour, sector restrictions when fighting an object and other important information can be stored and displayed as an image background during the simulation. The This information can be recorded independently of the flight destination data storage and can only be assigned to the flight destination data later. This allows flight destination simulations to be carried out with variable scenarios.
Die Simulationseinrichtung gestattet es, von einem Standort der Flugabwehreinrichtungen aus aufgenommene Realzielflugverfolgungen beliebig oft an diesem vor dem natürlichen Hintergrund zu wiederholen, indem die simulierte Zieldarstellung dem aktuellen optischen Bild überlagert wird.The simulation device makes it possible to repeat real target flight traces recorded from a location of the anti-aircraft devices as often as desired on this against the natural background by superimposing the simulated target representation on the current optical image.
Aufgrund der optischen Überlagerung des natürlichen Bildes mit dem von einem Grafik-Prozessor erzeugten synthetischen Bild ist es möglich, auch aktuelle alphanumerische Informationen darzustellen. Es können somit sowohl für die Ausbildung als auch für den taktischen Einsatz alle wichtigen Informationen, z.B. Verfolgegüte, Trefferwahrscheinlichkeit, Zielentfernung, Höhe, Geschwindigkeit und die Freund/Feind-Identifizierung angezeigt werden.Due to the optical overlay of the natural image with the synthetic image generated by a graphics processor, it is also possible to display current alphanumeric information. All important information, e.g. for training and tactical use, can be Tracking quality, hit probability, target range, altitude, speed and friend / foe identification are displayed.
Ein weiterer Vorteil der Flugzielsimulationseinrichtung besteht in der Verwendung einfacher Nahtstellen der Einrichtung, die eine Kopplung von externen Steuer- und Auswerteeinrichtungen, z.B. zur aktuellen Begutachtung des Ausbildungsvorganges und der Verfolgegüte ermöglichen.Another advantage of the flight destination simulation device is the use of simple interfaces of the device, which couple external control and evaluation devices, e.g. enable the current assessment of the training process and the quality of the persecution.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit der Integration eines Video-Displays in den optischen Verfolgesensor ist in der Fig. 2 dargestellt. Es wird hier erfindungsgemäß von einer indirekten Bildüberlagerung Gebrauch gemacht, die durch binokulare Betrachtung entsteht. Dazu wird einem als optischer Sensor verwendeten einäugigen Periskop mit einem Okular 21 für Direktsicht im Augenabstand ein zweites Okular 22 für ein Miniatur-Video-Display zugeordnet. Auch diese indirekte Bildüberlagerung gestattet es, simulierte Flugzielbewegungen wirklichkeitsnah darzustellen und somit die optischen Richtmittel nachzuführen.Another possibility of integrating a video display into the optical tracking sensor is shown in FIG. 2. According to the invention, use is made here of an indirect image overlay which is produced by binocular viewing. For this purpose, a

Beide Sensorsysteme 31, 32 sind mit einem Feuerleitrechner 34 einer Datenverarbeitungsanlage 33 verbunden, der die empfangenen Zieldaten auswertet. Eine weitere Datenverbindung besteht zwischen einer Antriebsvorrichtung 35 für die Sensoren und dem Feuerleitrechner 34 für die Übermittlung von Nachführbefehlen. Der optischen Zieleinrichtung 32 ist ein Okular 36 für das Auge des Bedieners (Richtschützen) zugeordnet. Ein Richtgriff 37, der ebenfalls mit dem Feuerleitrechner 34 verbunden ist, dient der visuell/manuellen Zielverfolgung.In addition to a radar-controlled operating mode of target tracking by means of
Zur Durchführung einer autonomen Flugzielsimulation ist der Feuerleitrechner 34 über einen Datenbus mit einer Einrichtung 38, die einen Prozessor und einen Speicher zur Aufbereitung und Speicherung von Flugbahndaten enthält, verbunden. Über einen weiteren Datenbus ist die Einrichtung 38 an eine Einrichtung 39 angeschlossen, die aus einer grafikfähigen Videoprozessoreinrichtung und einem Bildwiederholspeicher besteht. Diese Einrichtung setzt die Simulationsdaten der Einrichtung 38 in Videosignale um und liefert außerdem alpha-numerische Informationen über Bedrohungsnalyse und voraussichtlichen Bekämpfungserfolg. Die Darstellung des Simulationsscenarios erfolgt auf einem Mini-Video-Display 40, dessen Bild, wie bereits beschrieben, in die optische Feuerleitrichtsäule eingekoppelt wird.To carry out an autonomous flight destination simulation, the
