DE2443810C3 - Procedure for determining the shooting training of pilots - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a method for determining the accuracy of aircraft guns to improve the shooting training of pilots, wherein the target coordinates are continuously detected and recorded in a data memory.

From DE-OS 21 05 016 it is known to continuously add the target coordinates sent by a target record and feed them with other output variables, such as the trigger time of the weapon, to a computer, which displays the point of impact of the weapon in real time Relation to the target is calculated and displayed with great accuracy. The disadvantage is that the operating teams immediately make directional corrections during training be specified, whereby the concentration on the directional corrections not on the actual shot be steered. The continuous acquisition of target and weapon data is also in US-PS 37 98 795 described. Here, too, only directional corrections are determined

There are also known devices for determining the trigger time for an aircraft carried by the aircraft, on a ground target to be directed floor (DE-PS 21 18 508) with a navigation device computer fed from the current time and past time Space coordinates of the aircraft and their temporal derivatives are the probable space coordinates of the aircraft and their temporal derivatives are calculated at future times and in one Makes representation device visible, in which the bottom target is drawn as a marker of this facility The object is to design a device for determining the trigger time so that the pilot during the approach to the target the aircraft in a largely arbitrary attitude can hold. In the presence of such a device, the pilot can hit his target without this requires a precise and straight approach to the destination. A straight target approach even appears to be disadvantageous because the rigid approach course during the straightening phase increases the likelihood of the aircraft being shot down Nevertheless, pilots cannot rely on one

ίο Shooting training is waived because i-.failure such facilities to determine the triggering time of the pilot relying on his ability is that he can only have achieved through a good education. In the known device takes place Evaluation of the data in real time. This means a high computational effort and does not offer high accuracy

The invention is based on the object of improving the shooting training of pilots,

μ being the pilot during the target approach remains unaffected and his after the shot

Error when approaching the target and when the Gun triggering can be shown reproducibly. According to the invention, this object is achieved by

that during the target approach all flight condition variables, the data of the surrounding air as well as the time of the weapon triggering are recorded that the recording data memory removed after the target approach and with one located on the ground

M computing device is connected and that for the time the weapon triggering from the computing device by means of the stored weapon table the point of impact of the weapon In relation to the target, the target approach with the hit location is calculated and repeatable on a screen

^{J <} > is displayed.

In the subject matter of the prior art mentioned above, there is a rigid system in which a Aircraft is measured with its orbital data from stationary devices It is therefore for the Trainees only required a correct choice of coordinates. In contrast, the subject matter of the invention an aircraft is moving towards a fixed target and the aircraft's orbit data are available The time of the Gun release held. All of this happens in a small memory, which is located, for example, under the wing of the aircraft are now a or several destination flights have been carried out, the memory is removed from the aircraft and with a Computer, which is located in a ground station, connected. The weapon tables are in the calculator stored on a screen based solely on the orbit data and the time of the target approach repeated and the hit position can be displayed.

The pilot will therefore only find out at a later point in time whether his approach was successful. He can concentrate fully on his target during the approach and only select the time of the Weapon release. When repeating the target approach on the ground it is clearly recognized whether the pilot is has carried out his target approach in accordance with training and according to plan, or whether he has one at the last moment Had to make correction. This distinction between chance hits and compulsively caused

Hitting was not possible so far.

According to the invention, it is further advantageous that to fighting target is marked for the duration of the exercise and the target by means of a target measurement

Sensor is taken.

It is also advantageous if the data memory to be recorded and the sensors are carried out by means of a pulse from a target measurement sensor after targeting be put into action and switched off after losing the target or overflying the target.

Advantageous exemplary embodiments and possible applications of the invention emerge from the Figures that are described below. It shows

F i g. 1 shows a training aircraft 2 with an under its support surface 4 arranged equipment container 6, which is the device for improving the shooting training of pilots.

The device container 6 is shown in FIG. 2 shown in side view. At the front end of the container 6 hefindtt a window 8, behind which a target measurement sensor 10 is arranged. Next is in the container a Doppler radar 14, a data intermediate device 16, a flight data recorder 18 and a generator 20, which on is arranged rear end of the container. In the upper part are three rate gyros 22, three accelerometers 23 and a gyroscope 24 are arranged in a box. Furthermore, there is a self-adjusting pitot tube 25 and a total temperature probe 26 installed

The flight condition vector is measured by means of the sensors mentioned. The target coordinates, target distance, The target azimuth and target evaluation are detected with the target measurement sensor 10.

The aforementioned data are recorded on the flight data recorder 18 in chronological order.

F i g. 3 shows an aircraft 2 which is approaching a target 30 for the measurement of The target 30 to be attacked must be identified from aircraft 2. For this purpose, in the exemplary embodiment a laser designator 32 is used. A permanently installed infrared all-round radiator 33 can be used, for which no ground staff is required. As soon as the target is detected by the target measurement sensor 10, are all data in chronological order

ίο measured and recorded At the moment the weapon is triggered, the point of impact of the simulated weapon is determined with a computing device in which the values of the weapon table are stored.
The evaluation and training control is carried out by computer-controlled, objective evaluation of the results of the exercise in a ground station (not shown). Here, the data recorded on the tape cassette during the exercise are played back, evaluated and documented. These are included in the process

- • ο the basic data determined when using live weapons compared. After removing the tape cassette described with the approach data, the device container 6 weruen supplied with a new cassette and the facility to improve the shooting training of Pilot is immediately ready for action again

Depending on the requirements, the recorded processes of the exercise can be played back repeatedly Display devices or evaluated with regard to different focus areas of the exercise

jo den that the progress of the training is clear. This applies to the exercise of the individual pilot as well as to that of the gang, the swarm or the Association. The pilots can use the tape cassette to immediately after the end of the training flight, the

J5 they can be found in the flight data recorder 18 for Go to the ground station and have all approaches computationally evaluated there and the result with the instructor discuss.
