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.
  • This device converts the simulation data of the device 38 into video signals and also supplies alpha-numerical information about threat analysis and expected success in combating the situation.
  • the simulation scenario is shown on a mini video display 40, the image of which, as already described, is coupled into the optical fire control column.
  • the two processor memory devices 38, 39 have simple interfaces 41, 42 which enable a coupling to external control and evaluation devices.
