Device for generating steering signals

The invention relates to a device for generating Steering signals for a remotely steerable missile with a manual actuator aur influencing the steering command.

Systems for remote control of missiles are usually by using an infrared goniometer so automated that the shooter from operating a manually

to be operated hand lever (steering stick) is released. Its activity after the start of the plug body consists essentially in the handling of a periscope, the movements of which trigger all signals required to steer the missile. The need for the combination of such a semi-automatic system with a manually leading, gimbal-mounted hand lever is then given, for example if the sensitive parts of the infrared-steering have failed in the rough use of the device or W when the operation of the firing system peeled and with the Infrared steering does not have to be entrusted to sufficiently trusted shooters.

Combined steering systems in which the plug body is optional can be controlled both semi-automatically and manually are known. The required assemblies are here mounted next to each other on a common base so that the operating handles next to one another. are arranged differently. As soon as you switch from semi-automatic to manual steering or vice versa should, the shooter must turn to the handles and adjusting means of the devices to be operated and his posture change accordingly. This adversely affects his attention and observation distracted from those processes that he must above all keep an eye on.

Since the operation of steering systems for remotely steerable missiles, however, great skill and concentration anyway of the operator, any disturbance or distraction is undesirable.

The object of the invention is, therefore, constructive so insert the hand lever (steering stick) in the overall arrangement of the system, or to connect with the command block of a periscopic system so that a favorable, the anatomy of the human body responsive arrival λ order and operation ability of the manual lever results in »It should be placed in a place where it is easy to operate while maintaining a comfortable posture, but also where it is protected against any unintentional actuation.

A solution to the problem of the invention is to be seen in the fact that the hand lever above a support on the eyepiece of a periscope facing away from the side of the periscope and extending in the direction of view. '

In a surprising way, the invention enables the implementation of: a steering system optionally equipped with infrared steering or with hand steering, in which the actuation of the manual control device largely corresponds to the physiological movements of the shooter _? insbesoaäare whose hand and lower · = 's arm adapted.

In a preferred embodiment according to the invention the base plate of the command block, which is part of the periscope structure, serves as a support for the operation of the manual control means (steering stick) formed.

It is within the scope of the invention to design the device for manual control as a closed unit, which is built into the command block so that it can be independently checked and replaced as a compact assembly.

An embodiment according to the invention is shown below described drawing shown.

Steering system for remotely guided missile projectiles;

FIG. 2 shows a plan view according to FIG. 1.

The steering system can either be with infrared steering or with Manual steering work and essentially consists of the command block 1, the locating block 2 with attached steering electronics 3 and the straightening mechanism 4. In the housing of the locating block is the eyepiece at eye level of a shooter, not shown 5 attached and on the opposite side of the under the locating block lying command block 1 of the manual lever 6 for actuating the steering arranged in a manual manner.

The base plate 7 of the command block is part of the periscopic Steering system and in the case of manual steering as a support for the forearm and the hand of one behind the Eyepiece trained shooters. The steering work becomes both semi-automatic and manual Steering in the same completely relaxed posture carried out. The shooter can concentrate his undivided attention on the observation and control of the missile projectile. The manual lever unit is interchangeably inserted into the command block 1 along the dividing line 8.
