Abstract

Eine Einrichtung zum Schutz von mobilen Objekten, insbesondere gepanzerten Fahrzeugen, gegen Geschoßeinwirkung, insbesondere gegen Flugkörper, weist eine Vorrichtung zur Ortung des anfliegenden Geschosses mit mehreren Sensoren, die über das Objekt (10) derart verteilt angeordnet sind, daß im Abstand vom Objekt (10) um das Objekt (10) herum ein geschlossener Überwachungsschirm aufgespannt ist, und eine von der Ortungsvorrichtung aktivierbare Vorrichtung zum Abfeuern von Geschoß-Bekämpfungsmitteln auf. Zwecks Verbesserung einer solchen Schutzeinrichtung derart, daß sie keinen Beitrag zu einer erleichterten Detektion des mobilen Objekts (10) liefert, einen zuverlässigen Eigenschutz sicherstellt und zu günstigen Gestehungskosten erhältlich ist, sind die Sensoren Bildkameras (12), die mit Abstand (a) am Objekt (10) so angeordnet sind, daß sich jeweils die Sichtwinkel (β1, β2) benachbarter Bildkameras (121, 122) überlappen. Eine Bildverarbeitungseinheit bestimmt aus den Koordinaten der Geschoßabbildung in den beiden Bildebenen der benachbarten Bildkameras (121, 122) und dem gegenseitigen Abstand (a) der Bildkameras (121, 122) fortlaufend die Geschoßposition und berechnet aus den Positionsveränderungen und der Abtastfrequenz der Bildkameras (121, 122) die Gechoßgeschwindigkeit.

A device for protecting mobile objects, in particular armored vehicles, against the impact of a projectile, in particular against missiles, has a device for locating the approaching projectile with a plurality of sensors which are distributed over the object (10) in such a way that the object (10 ) around the object (10) is a closed monitoring screen, and a device that can be activated by the locating device for firing projectile control means. In order to improve such a protective device in such a way that it makes no contribution to easier detection of the mobile object (10), ensures reliable self-protection and is available at low production costs, the sensors are image cameras (12) which are at a distance (a) from the object (10) are arranged such that the viewing angles (β 1 , β 2 ) of adjacent image cameras (121, 122) overlap. An image processing unit continuously determines the floor position from the coordinates of the floor image in the two image planes of the adjacent image cameras (121, 122) and the mutual distance (a) of the image cameras (121, 122) and calculates the position changes and the scanning frequency of the image cameras (121, 122) the bullet speed.
