The invention relates to a testing and training system for the operation of anti-aircraft guns, each with a optical anti-aircraft target sight that can be manually-visually aimed at aircraft to be fought and with manually on; oim Adequate guide values are equipped with adjustable straightening devices.

Especially for the control of low flying fighter planes and helicopters small-caliber anti-aircraft guns are also used in modern armies, pre v> seen their crews, in particular the indicative gunners, using corresponding optical Flakvisieren by its own estimate, its to hits on the leading-to-control aircraft benchmarks Adjust the gun by hand and individually trigger your weapon to fire.

For training such gun crews and for the objective examination of the training results appropriate auxiliary systems are required t> o and various systems are also known (see e.g. CH patents 4 22 586, 4 22 587, 3 87 963 and 45 566). At another training facility for Air defense is an autoirna- <> 5 to determine the location and movement parameters of a flying target object table target following and -Ortungsgerät provided (DE-AS 12 68521), whose output variables a Computer are supplied as input variables, which then set the meeting point by means of stored setpoints determined Such a system is assigned to a single gun. The effort is very great. These Well-known testing and training facilities satisfy the requirements to be set in some respects not

Above all, such known devices are not capable of simultaneous testing of a large number of Gun crews taking advantage of expensive equipment for a variety of Suitable for guns

It is difficult and time consuming to obtain one using the known training and testing facilities tabular compilation of the shooting results for a large number of anti-aircraft crews create, from which the persons responsible for training an objective comparison between all Make operating teams and from this an objective picture of the level of training achieved could win.

The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a testing and training system of the type mentioned create an objectively measuring for a variety of such anti-aircraft guns simple design or simple The training level of the operating teams has a common simultaneous measuring and control system, the results of their control of the respective crew of one of the many guns immediately accessible

This object is achieved according to the invention by the combination of features that a large number of anti-aircraft guns of the type mentioned are set up in a firing range, which together have an automatic target tracking and tracking device for the continuous determination of the location coordinates of a flight object serving as a target for all guns and the guns and the locating device is jointly assigned a programmable provided with storing digital computers then it is currently set at the moment of actual or simulated ^r chußauslösung on any artillery and transmitted to the computer actual benchmarks quantitatively with set benchmarks comparing the delivered under evaluation continuously from tracking and locating device Location data and the parallax values stored for each gun for the relevant moment in time and the relevant gun to hit the target are calculated and for each gun immediately after the triggering of the gen Outside meetings useful directional correction values are transmitted as voice commands via a voice automaton controlled by the error value in the relevant gun, and that the output variables of the computer are also fed to a data processing device for the tabular evaluation of all shooting results.

The equipment required for the implementation of the system according to the invention, namely a computer with necessary peripheral devices and operating devices, automatic target tracking and location devices with radar means, encoder for converting the guide values effectively stiffened on a gun into electrical, computer-processable electrical signals and their blocking except for the time the shot as well as quickly controllable voice output machines and data processing systems known in principle. The immediate transmission of the alignment errors or those necessary for a more precise meeting

Directional corrections as voice commands to the operating team immediately after the shot has been fired each gun involved is particularly favorable because the gunner in question is the necessary adjustment corrections without being forced to turn his gaze from the visor to you Error display device learns and thus trigger a corrected shooting dose in the same constellation can.

An embodiment of an inventive The system is shown schematically in the drawing.

A flying target Z flies in front of the position of a large number of anti-aircraft guns d, G ₂ , G ₃ ... G ₄ O on the course line jtzvorbeL

A known radar tracking and location device RO is provided for permanent tracking and location of the target object, whose target location data OD (lateral and elevation angles, possibly also speed parameters) are continuously fed to the computer C or to a device IF connected upstream of this via a cable K \ will.

On each of the guns Gi ... G40, the parallax values of which are stored in the computer C in relation to the location of the. ^ Adar location device RO , there are mechanical-electrical transmitters for converting the guide values IR _e ( Lateral angle, elevation angle and possibly distance) are present in electrical signals that are fed to the computer C via a cable K ₂ to the evaluation point jn or an adaptation device AG in front of the device / F of the computer for adaptation to the computer C during the triggering of the shot. This actual value data from the guns G can advantageously also contain an identification signal for the gun or for the gunner firing it at the time r>, which z. B. can be accomplished according to known models by an individual key card of the gunner, which is to be inserted into a slot provided for this purpose

The task of the computer C is to correspond to the set !. Programming and the saved parallax values of the guns G immediately after the gun is fired by comparing the target guide values for the possible point of impact T on the course line kz of the target Z for the relevant -r> firing time and for the gun G concerned with the relevant ACTUAL guide values to issue the Richtfehfer or the corrective corrections RK necessary for the exact meeting. These directional corrections are used to control a voice output machine SA, which transmits the appropriate voice command words via the cable Ki to the corresponding gun G, where they are z. B. using headphones Wi. Hi, the gunner and the gun commander should be made audible. These voice commands, i.e. directional corrections, can be put together as follows:

It is Z. B. possible from a rotating drum or plate, which has a soundtrack for each possible command word and a pickup for each soundtrack, by means of appropriate control signals to the pickups very quickly retrieve every necessary command set and transmit it to the guns concerned. Corresponding aiming error information RK , along with all the others, can be transmitted to a data processing device DV for the automatic creation of a tabular compilation of the overall results of a practice shooting for all firing of all guns or gunners of the relevant firing times and the necessary correction commands.

A command desk CP contains the display elements that are important for controlling the course of the exercise, e.g. B. a light field to display the occupied guns, the readiness display and the 2-dimensional alignment error display individually selectable guns.

A typewriter for communication with the computer, tape reader and tape punch, synchronization units and synchro-digital converter as well as a high-speed printer at the output of the data processing unit DV can be provided as peripheral devices.
