Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fire control system with at least two operator stations. These operator stations can be that of the gunner, that of the commander and, if applicable, that of the loader. Fire control systems of this type are primarily common in appropriately armed land vehicles, even if an appropriate use of the fire control system appears conceivable in air and water vehicles.
  • connection unit of the fire control system is assigned an electronics unit specific for this connection unit.
  • the gyro stabilization for the main weapon is controlled by a special electronics unit, as is the gyro stabilization of the rifle target's rangefinder and, if necessary, the gyro stabilization of the commander's telescope.
  • a special electronics unit is again provided for the ballistic fire control calculation. Disadvantageous This concept is based on the large number of required components of the electronic units of the fire control system at the various operator stations that differ in terms of structure and function. This results in logistical problems as well as maintenance problems and comparatively little flexibility with regard to changing the fire control system.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a largely standardized fire control system in which the most important functions are still provided even if individual system parts fail.
  • a fire control system which achieves this object and has at least two operator stations - one slide-in frame with electronic assemblies per control station, at least one functional assembly per frame, in particular a stabilization assembly for the main weapon or a target device or main supply assembly, - at least one interface and control module per frame, - a bus line to which the interfaces and control modules of all frames are connected, at least some of the functional assemblies being formed by essentially identical standard assemblies, wherein the overall control of the fire control system is preferably carried out by a predetermined first interface and control module and, if it fails, a predetermined second interface and control module, and preferably also if the bus line fails, the interface and control module of the slide-in frame assigned to the main weapon is the automatic one Control of the modules of this rack.
  • connection units to be connected to the fire control system differ, even if they perform related functions.
  • the gyro stabilization units used for the targeting devices and weapons are often different on the one hand in structure and, on the other hand, also differ in their reaction to changes in the position of the vehicle due to the greatly differing masses involved. Accordingly, the assembly group responsible for the gyro stabilization device can only work correctly if it is provided with the adaptation parameters of the connected connection unit required for the correct control or regulation of the tracking drives.
  • the standard assembly is designed with a data record memory, in which adaptation parameter data records are stored for all of the possible differently equipped operating stations, and that each insertion frame is provided with a data record selection device, which causes the selection of the respective data record.
  • the standard groups with the same hardware are also equipped with the same software, with the possible adjustment parameter data records being stored from the outset.
  • the required selection is made by the slide-in frame.
  • the slide-in frame is provided with a spatial code, in particular a pin code, which causes the selection of the respective data record when the standard assembly is inserted.
  • the standard main group is provided with a self-optimizing, adaptive control circuit for automatic adaptation to the respectively connected devices.
  • the standard module therefore "learns" at the beginning of operation from the reactions of the connected connection unit in an optimization process which adaptation parameters are to be used.
  • one adaptation module is provided per frame with a data record memory for the adaptation parameters relevant for this frame.
  • the standard modules only receive the relevant adaptation parameter set on the spot in the slide-in frame from the adaptation module. In extreme cases, this is the only one in each case Slide-in frame, ie assembly adapted to the respective connection unit of the slide-in frame.
  • one of the frames prefferably be provided with a main data memory in which adaptation parameter data records of all the insertion frames are stored, and for the interface and control module of this frame to transmit the respective adaptation parameter data records via the bus to the individual insertion frames initiated (initialization).
  • This solution saves the adaptation module or the data set selection device for the individual slide-in frames.
  • program memories are also provided in the central memory with the computer programs assigned to the individual standard modules, and that the associated interface and control module causes the transfer of these programs to the individual standard modules (initialization).
  • the overall control of the system and the interface and control module can advantageously take on at least one of the following functions: bus control, operating mode selection, e.g. priority control during operation by the commander, fire control calculation (ballistic calculation if necessary taking into account signals from connected sensors such as vertical sensor, temperature sensor, cross wind, etc .; guiding and tracking target devices and weapon systems; fault detection and fault location within the fire control system; system adjustment, in particular parallelism of gyro axes or the like.
  • the fire control system to be described in its various versions is characterized by a simple modular structure with a high degree of standardization. It requires little testing effort, easy error localization and a high degree of flexibility. As a result, additional devices or sensors can be easily connected, and individual devices or sensors can also be replaced with successor models. As the exemplary embodiments will show, the fire control system according to the invention can be used in a wide variety of weapon carriers without major changes.
  • the electronic assemblies of the fire control system are connected to a bus line, although it has proven to be particularly advantageous not to connect all the assemblies individually to the bus line, but to combine several assemblies, each assigned to an operator station, in a slide-in frame and via one to connect the only bus terminal to the bus line. Since each operating station is assigned a slide-in frame with largely complete electronics, there is the possibility of island operation if communication with the other slide-in frames is no longer possible, for example due to a failure of the Bus line or parts of other slide-in frames. Finally, the decentralized arrangement of the electronics is also advantageous with regard to the mostly limited installation space, since there is more space available for small-volume modules at the respective operator stations than at a central location for a correspondingly large overall system.
  • a slide-in frame 10, 12, 14 is arranged at three operating stations, into which the electronic assemblies required there are inserted.
  • the slide-in frame 10 is located in the area of the operating position of the gunner, the slide-in frame 12 in the area of the commandant's operating space and the slide-in frame 14 at any other location, for example in the vicinity of the radio.

  • An integrated control and display unit 46 if necessary, a corresponding integrated control and display unit 48 for a L ade s protect (LS) and a target device unit 50.
  • the target device tracking unit 42 then ensures the actuation of corresponding tracking drives in the connection unit 50.
  • the commander target device is to be of a position-stabilized design, in particular in the form of a gyro-stabilized panoramic periscope, see above
  • a corresponding aiming device stabilizing unit 42a is to be inserted into the insertion frame 12, as is the case with the embodiment according to FIG. 2.
  • the corresponding insertion in the insertion frame 12 is omitted.
  • the integrated operating and display unit of the charging contactor 48 can be connected to the interface and control module 40.
  • the interface and control module 40 also serves as the central unit for overall control of the system. In addition to the ballistic calculations, it provides e.g. for the operating mode selection, which enables either the gunner or the commander, if necessary with priority control in favor of the commander, to issue the corresponding fire commands.
  • the assembly 40 causes via the bus 36 and the assemblies of the slide-in frame 10, which are in connection with the connection unit 22 for adjusting the height and side of the main weapon, that the main weapon is guided or tracked accordingly.
  • the assembly 10 can also be used for fault detection and fault localization of the overall system and for system adjustment, for example if several stabilizing gyros are used, the axes of which are to be aligned parallel to one another.

If, for example, the overall control of the system and the interface and control module 40 fails, its function is immediately taken over by the interface and control module 18. also the full data bus control, so that the control of the FLA electronics 3 with the automatic loader is still possible by the gunner without restriction. Only the commander is no longer able to use the main weapon himself. Finally, if the bus line 36 fails, FLA electronics 1 can still be fully functional by itself, even if the automatic charger would have to be triggered manually in this case.
  • Hardware-equivalent modules have the same hardware structure, e.g. all interface and control assemblies 18, 40, 52 and all stabilization assemblies 16, 20a and 42a.
