Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Uebertragung von Informationen
auf programmierbare Geschosse nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bzw. 7. 7. The invention relates to a method and a device for the transmission of information to programmable projectiles according to the preamble of
Mit den europäischen Patentanmeldungen EP-0 802 390-A, EP-0 802 391-A und EP-0 802 392-A sind ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Berechnung der Zerlegungszeit eines programmierbaren Geschosses bekannt geworden, mittels welchen die Treffwahrscheinlichkeit derartiger Geschosse verbessert werden kann. Hierbei wird der Berechnung mindestens eine aus Sensordaten ermittelte Treffdistanz zu einem Zielobjekt, eine an der Mündung eines Geschützrohres gemessene Geschossgeschwindigkeit und eine vorgegebene optimale Zerlegungsdistanz zwischen einem Treffpunkt des Zieles und einem Zerlegungspunkt des Geschosses zugrunde gelegt. Die gegebene optimale Zerlegungsdistanz wird durch Korrektur der Zerlegungszeit des Geschosses gleichbleibend gehalten. Die Korrektur erfolgt indem zur Zerlegungszeit ein mit einer Geschwindigkeitsdifferenz multiplizierter Korrekturfaktor addiert wird. Die Geschossgeschwindigkeitsdifferenz wird aus der Differenz der aktuellen gemessenen Geschossgeschwindigkeit und einer Vorhaltgeschwindigkeit des Geschosses gebildet, wobei die Vorhaltgeschwindigkeit aus dem Mittelwert einer Anzahl vorhergehender, aufeinanderfolgender Geschossgeschwindigkeiten errechnet wird.European patent applications EP-0 802 390-A, EP-0 802 391-A and EP-0 802 392-A have disclosed a method and a device for calculating the disassembly time of a programmable projectile, by means of which the probability of such projectiles being improved is improved can be. The calculation is based on at least one target distance to a target object determined from sensor data, a projectile speed measured at the muzzle of a gun barrel and a predetermined optimal disassembly distance between a target meeting point and a projectile disassembly point. The given optimal disassembly distance is kept constant by correcting the disassembly time of the projectile. The correction is made by adding a correction factor multiplied by a speed difference to the disassembly time. The projectile speed difference is formed from the difference between the current measured projectile speed and a lead speed of the projectile, the lead speed being calculated from the mean of a number of previous, successive projectile speeds.
Bei dieser Vorrichtung wird die Zerlegungszeit an der Mündung des Geschützrohres induktiv auf das beim Abschuss vorbeifliegende Geschoss übertragen, was beispielsweise bei magnetischen Geschossen grösseren Kalibers zu Uebertragungsschwierigkeiten führen kann.With this device, the disassembly time at the mouth of the gun barrel becomes inductive transferred to the missile flying past when it was shot, for example with magnetic bullets of larger calibers lead to transmission difficulties can.
Aus der US-5,343,795-A ist ebenfalls die Uebertragung von Informationen an ein Geschoss bzw. die Programmierung eines Geschosses bekannt. Die Uebertragung der Informationen bzw. die Programmierung findet statt, während sich das Projektil zwischen dem Magazin und der eigentlichen Waffe befindet, das heisst vor das Projektil im Waffenrohr angelangt ist. Eine solche Programmierung vor Ankunft des Projektils im Waffenrohr kann Nachteile haben. Bevor das Projektil nämlich im Waffenrohr angelangt ist, steht nicht mit Sicherheit fest, ob es auf dasjenige Ziel geschossen wird, welches seine Programmierung bestimmt oder genauer mitbestimmt. Wird das Projektil nicht zur Bekampfung dieses Zieles verwendet, so gibt es mehrere Möglichkeiten: Entweder kann das Projektil umprogrammiert werden. Dies bedingt - und zwar für alle Projektile, nicht nur für die ganz wenigen, die tatsächlich umprogrammiert werden - dass sie überhaupt umprogrammierbar ausgestaltet werden, was natürlich nur mit einem zusätzlichen Auifwand zun erreichen ist. Oder das Projektil kann entsorgt werden. Damit vermeidet man zwar die Anordnung einer umprogrammierbaren Einrichtung, mit dem Nachteil, dass einzelne Geschosse überhaupt nicht benutzt werden. Schliesslich kann auf Umprogrammierung und Entsorgung verzichtet werden.Dies bedeutet, dass ein für das Ziel A programmiertes Geschoss auf das Ziel B abgeschossen wird. Offensichtlich wird dadurch kein Treffer erreicht. Im Weiteren besteht die Gefahr von 'friendly fire'. Alle drei Möglichkeiten sind offensichtlich nachteilig. The transmission of information to a floor or the programming of a floor is also known from US Pat. No. 5,343,795-A . The transmission of the information or the programming takes place while the projectile is between the magazine and the actual weapon, that is to say before the projectile has reached the gun barrel. Such programming before the projectile arrives in the gun barrel can have disadvantages. Before the projectile arrives in the gun barrel, it is not certain whether it will be shot at the target that determines its programming or more precisely determines it. If the projectile is not used to combat this target, there are several options: Either the projectile can be reprogrammed. For all projectiles, and not only for the very few that are actually reprogrammed, this means that they are designed to be reprogrammable at all, which of course can only be achieved with an additional effort. Or the projectile can be disposed of. This avoids the arrangement of a reprogrammable device, with the disadvantage that individual floors are not used at all. Finally, there is no need for reprogramming and disposal, which means that a projectile programmed for target A is shot down at target B. Obviously, no hit is achieved. There is also the risk of 'friendly fire'. All three options are obviously disadvantageous.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile sind darin zu sehen, dass mit der zusätzlichen Uebertragung des Korrekturfaktors dem Geschoss zusätzliche Informationen über die relative Ziel/Geschoss-Geometrie zugeführt werden. Mit der Möglichkeit der Uebertragung der Informationen an einer beliebigen Stelle des Förderweges des Geschosses kann die geeignetste, vorteilhafteste Stelle gewählt werden.
