Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for real-time terrain clearance according to the preamble of claim 1 and an apparatus for carrying out this method according to the preamble of claim 7.
  • a combined image and sound transmission is made with analog signals for real-time terrain reconnaissance and for acquiring measurement data such as the air temperature, the wind direction, etc.
  • measurement data such as the air temperature or the like.
  • the sound carrier can be used by the quasi-scalar measurement data are modulated this.
  • this is only possible with a limited bandwidth of about 40 kbit / sec with NRZ data (non return to zero), ie with common bipolar, binary coded digital signals.
  • Another possibility is to use two mutually different carrier frequencies for the image signal transmission and for the measured data signal transmission.
  • the use of two mutually different carrier frequencies However, the use of two separate carrier frequencies also requires a considerable effort, because for these mutually different carrier frequencies, for example, suitable antennas are required.
  • An end-phase correctable search fuse ammunition and a method for controlling armored target objects with such ammunition is known from DE 35 16 673 C2.
  • DE 41 04 800 C2 discloses a device for real-time land reconnaissance by means of at least one sensor which can be moved as a load body of a carrier projectile in the manner of a submunition and whose information can be transmitted via a relay to a remote receiving station.
  • the at least one sensor and the relay are designed as a load body equipped with descent braking means of an artillery carrier projectile, which can be released from the carrier projectile after being fired over a target area to be verified.
  • the relay is equipped with a braking device for a much lower rate of descent than the rotating and thereby the target area spirally narrowing scanning sensor.
  • a reconnaissance device with a sensor unit, which is provided for detecting and localizing targets is known from EP 0 800 052 A2.
  • This known reconnaissance device is provided in an artillery projectile.
  • the reconnaissance device is connected to a buoyancy device, which between a space-saving collapsed in the artillery shell resting state and a released from the artillery projectile active state is changeable.
  • the buoyancy device serves to maintain the reconnaissance device at a corresponding height for a relatively long period of time, of the order of magnitude of up to ten minutes, over a target area for detection and localization thereof.
  • the reconnaissance sensor system comprises an optronics sensor and a high-frequency sensor, both of which are mounted vertically in the drone relative to the vertical at a small angle and are pivotable about the vertical at least by a certain arc length, preferably completely, so that a detected in overflown terrain potential target in different spectral ranges and directions - preferably in quick succession from opposite directions - detected and obtained in this way weather-independent contour-accurate sensor information and can be delivered by radio to a ground control station.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned, wherein only a relatively small effort is required for the transmission of the image signals and the measurement signals.
  • digitized image and measurement data signals are transmitted from the reconnaissance missile to the receiver of the ground station.
  • This has the advantage that other methods, such as data compression and / or data encryption as opposed to transmitting analog signals, are easily implemented.
  • each image line is preferably provided with a sub-synchronization word, which allows, for example, a digitized graphics card of a decoder of the receiver of the ground station to perform a line synchronization.
  • a main sync word can be used in a particular image line, preferably in the last image line, through which the receiver's digital video card can recognize the image sync.
  • the measurement data scattered into the image data are treated like pixels and thus also displayed. This is possible because the measured data change virtually continuously and thus do not differ in the image representation of this.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically in a block diagram a reconnaissance missile 10 with a transmitting antenna 12, a relay station 14 with a receiving antenna 16 and with a transmitting antenna 18, and a ground station 20 with a receiving antenna 22.
  • the ground station 20 has a receiver 24 and a decoder 26 which will be described below in connection with FIG.
  • FIG. 1 schematically illustrates the data connection between the reconnaissance missile 10 and the ground station 20 via the relay station 14.
  • the pixel signals Pik are input to an encoder 30.
  • the reconnaissance missile 10 has, in addition to the camera 28, a sensor device 32 for acquiring measured data Ai.
  • measurement data A1, A2, A14 and A14 are illustrated by way of example.
  • the measurement data of the sensor device 32 are input to an encoder 34, which is connected to the encoder 30 of the camera 28.
  • the encoder 30 has an output 36, on which a signal matrix 38 is given, as illustrated by way of example in FIG.
  • This signal matrix 38 i. the corresponding frame structure is input to a transmitter 40 and wirelessly transmitted to the ground station 20 by the corresponding transmitting antenna 12 (via a relay station 14 - see FIG.
  • the reference numeral 22 in Figure 2 the receiving antenna of the ground station 20 is designated.
  • the receiving antenna 22 is connected to the receiver 24 as mentioned above in connection with FIG.
  • the receiver 24 is connected via a bit synchronizer 40 to the decoder 26 already mentioned in connection with FIG.
  • the decoder 26 has an image output 42, measured data outputs 44 and an output 46, to which an interface 48 for measuring data selection is connected.
  • the interface 48 is connected to a device 50 for displaying the measured data.
  • a measurement data PC 52 is connected to the measured data outputs 44 of the decoder 26 to the measured data outputs 44 of the decoder 26 .
  • an image data interface 54 Connected to the image output 42 of the decoder 26 is an image data interface 54 which is connected to a digital graphics card 56.
  • the arrow 58 between the image data interface 54 and the digital graphics card 56 schematically illustrates the horizontal synchronization and the arrow 60 illustrates the vertical synchronization.
  • the arrow Pl, 1 between the image data interface and the digital graphic card with DSP (digital signal processor) illustrates the above-mentioned in connection with the camera 28 pixel 1 of the first image line.
  • the digital video card 56 also shows beside the corresponding image of the area to be cleared also a corresponding image of the recorded simultaneously by the reconnaissance missile measurement data.
