Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'aide à l'acquisition de cible par un opérateur dans un système d'armes.The present invention relates to a device for assisting in the acquisition of a target by an operator in a weapon system.
Un système d'armes se compose de manière connue d'une unité de détection et de localisation de cibles, telle qu'un radar, et d'unités de tir, aptes à tirer en direction de cibles ainsi localisées.A weapon system is composed in a known manner of a target detection and location unit, such as a radar, and of firing units, capable of firing in the direction of targets thus located.
La présente invention concerne plus particulièrement un système d'armes de courte portée dans lequel les opérations de tir sont effectuées manuellement par un opérateur, ce qui suppose que préalablement à toute opération de tir, l'opérateur acquière la cible dans son viseur, et soit donc amené à regarder dans la direction de celle-ci. Pour cela on pourrait penser a priori que les propres moyens de perception de l'opérateur suffisent ; en réalité une telle méthode serait inefficace, en particulier en présence de cibles rapides volant à basse altitude et se démasquant tardivement (par exemple du fait de l'interposition d'obstacles naturels tels que arbres ou collines).The present invention relates more particularly to a short-range weapon system in which the firing operations are carried out manually by an operator, which supposes that prior to any firing operation, the operator acquires the target in its sight, and either therefore brought to look in the direction of this one. For this, one might think a priori that the operator's own means of perception are sufficient; in reality such a method would be ineffective, in particular in the presence of fast targets flying at low altitude and revealing themselves late (for example due to the interposition of natural obstacles such as trees or hills).
Une solution plus efficace consiste en une transmission d'informations du système de détection et de localistion, qui acquiert par ailleurs la cible, vers l'opérateur, afin d'indiquer à celui-ci, en vue d'anticiper sa réaction, notamment la nature de la cible, sa provenance, sa vitesse d'approche ; mais le problème réside alors dans le choix de l'interface de communication entre le système de détection et de localisation et l'opérateur. Actuellement, ceci se fait sous la forme d'une alerte, généralement donnée par phonie. Cette méthode se révèle cependant très contraignante pour l'opérateur qui, du fait de la vitesse de certaines cibles et des délais de mise en oeuvre de cette méthode, ne dispose souvent que de fort peu de temps pour réagir.A more effective solution consists in transmitting information from the detection and localization system, which also acquires the target, towards the operator, in order to indicate to the latter, in order to anticipate his reaction, in particular the nature of the target, its source, its approach speed; but the problem then lies in the choice of the communication interface between the detection and localization system and the operator. Currently, this is done in the form of an alert, usually given by voice. This method is however very restrictive for the operator who, because of the speed of certain targets and the implementation times of this method, often has very little time to react.
La présente invention a pour objet une autre méthode d'alerte qui soit à la fois moins contraignante pour l'opérateur d'un point de vue physiologique, et plus efficace sur le plan opérationnel.The subject of the present invention is another alert method which is both less restrictive for the operator from a physiological point of view, and more effective from an operational point of view.
Suivant l'invention, un dispositif d'aide à l'acquisition de cible par un opérateur, dans un système d'armes comportant un système de détection et de localisation de cibles délivrant des informations de localisation de cibles, est essentiellement caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte des moyens de synthèse de signaux sonores stéréophoniques destinés à l'opérateur, et des moyens de conversion des informations de localisation de cible en informations de commande de synthèse de signaux stéréophoniques, afin de donner à l'opérateur la sensation subjective d'une direction d'attaque correspondant à la direction réelle de la cible par rapport à cet opérateur.According to the invention, a device for assisting in the acquisition of a target by an operator, in a weapon system comprising a target detection and location system delivering target location information, is essentially characterized in that '' It comprises means for synthesizing stereophonic sound signals intended for the operator, and means for converting target location information into control information for synthesis of stereophonic signals, in order to give the operator the subjective feeling of an attack direction corresponding to the real direction of the target with respect to this operator.
D'autres objets et caractéristiques de la présente invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, faite en relation avec les dessins ci-annexés dans lesquels :
- - la figure 1 est un schéma de principe d'un dispositif d'aide à l'acquisition de cible suivant l'invention ;
- - la figure 2 est un schéma synoptique d'un synthétiseur de signaux stéréophoniques utilisé dans un dispositif d'aide à l'acquisition de cible suivant l'invention.
- - Figure 1 is a block diagram of a device for assisting with target acquisition according to the invention;
- - Figure 2 is a block diagram of a stereophonic signal synthesizer used in a device for assisting in target acquisition according to the invention.
Le dispositif 1 d'aide à l'acquisition de cible par un opérateur dans un système d'armes réalise une interface entre le système de détection et de localisation 2 du système d'armes et n opérateurs munis de casques stéréophoniques tels que 3 n(un seul d'entre eux ayant été représenté pour plus de clarté). Ce dispositif comporte, associé à chacun des n casques 3 n, un processeur 4 n, appelé processeur de casque, apte à réaliser la synthèse de signaux stéréophoniques, sous la commande de signaux reçus d'un calculateur 5 avec lequel il communique.The device 1 for assisting in the acquisition of the target by an operator in a weapon system provides an interface between the detection and
Ce calculateur 5 reçoit lui-même du système de détection et de localisation 2, pour chacune des cibles détectées par ce système (supposé multicibles) la nature (N), la direction (D₁), la distance (d) et la vitesse d'approche (V) de celle-ci.This
A partir de ces informations, dites informations de localisation de cible, le calculateur 5 élabore des informations de commande de synthèse de signaux sonores stéréophoniques qui, retransmis aux écouteurs des casques dont sont pourvus les n opérateurs, leur donnent la sensation subjective d'une direction d'attaque correspondant à la direction réelle dans laquelle se situe celle des cibles qui leur est attribuée, par rapport à eux.From this information, called target location information, the
L'information de direction est pour cela convertie par le calculateur 5 en une information de phase (φ), l'information de distance en une information d'intensité (I), et l'information de vitesse(V) en une information de fréquence (f).The direction information is therefore converted by the
Préalablement à sa conversion en information de phase, l'information (D₁) de direction de cible est combinée avec l'information (D₂) de direction dans laquelle regarde l'opérateur, afin d'obtenir la direction stéréophonique de la cible par rapport à l'opérateur, compte tenu de l'inclinaison de sa tête.Prior to its conversion into phase information, the target direction information (D₁) is combined with the direction information (D₂) in which the operator is looking, in order to obtain the stereophonic direction of the target relative to the operator, taking into account the tilt of his head.
Cette information de direction (D₂) dans laquelle regarde l'opérateur peut être délivrée par une plateforme gyrométrique, mais aussi, compte tenu de la précision toute relative qui est demandée, par un système magnétique réglé sur la déclinaison locale ; elle est ensuite transmise du processeur de casque 4 vers le calculateur 5. Une fois élaborées par le calculateur 5, les informations de commande de synthèse de signaux stéréophoniques sont stockées dans n registres 6 n, pour transmission multiplexée vers les n processeurs 4 n.This direction information (D₂) in which the operator looks can be delivered by a gyrometric platform, but also, taking into account the very relative precision which is required, by a magnetic system adjusted to the local declination; it is then transmitted from the headset processor 4 to the
Comme représenté sur la figure 2, chaque processeur de casque contient, enregistrés en mémoire morte 7, les signaux binaires correspondant aux différentes natures de cibles.As shown in FIG. 2, each headset processor contains, recorded in
La mémoire convenable, sélectionnée grâce à l'information (N) de nature de cible, est lue à un rythme correspondant à la fréquence élaborée par le calculateur 5, et le signal obtenu, après conversion numérique/analogique dans un convertisseur 8 est appliqué à l'entrée de deux amplificateurs stéréophoniques 9 et 10 qui fournissent les gains et les déphasages correspondant aux informations d'intensité et de phase transmises par le calculateur 5. L'opérateur entend ainsi un signal sonore qui lui donne l'impression subjective de la direction et du rapprochement de la cible et le renseigne sur sa nature.The suitable memory, selected by virtue of the target nature information (N), is read at a rate corresponding to the frequency developed by the
Les informations de commande de synthèse de signaux stéréophoniques sont remises à jour par le calculateur 5 en fonction des mouvements de la tête de l'opérateur et du mouvement extrapolé de la cible. La direction subjective du bruit correspond toujours ainsi à la direction effective de cette dernière.The information for controlling the synthesis of stereophonic signals is updated by the
L'opérateur est ainsi à même de s'orienter très rapidement dans la direction de la cible qui lui est attribuée et de l'acquérir. The operator is thus able to orient himself very quickly in the direction of the target assigned to him and to acquire it.
