Description

Système de traitement des informations sur un champ de bataille Information processing system on a battlefield
Le secteur technique de la présente invention est celui des systèmes de traitement de l'information.The technical sector of the present invention is that of information processing systems.
Les systèmes de transmission comprennent généralement un ensemble de moyens dotés de fonctions isolées. Cette disparité même lorsqu'un regroupement de deux fonctions est possible présente l'inconvénient de comporter plusieurs boîtiers de développement. Cette disparité entraîne des coûts d'acquisition et de soutien élevés, des coûts d'intégration également élevés et enfin de grandes difficultés à intégrer et à maintenir les matériels.Transmission systems generally comprise a set of means endowed with isolated functions. This disparity even when a combination of two functions is possible has the drawback of having several development boxes. This disparity leads to high acquisition and support costs, also high integration costs and finally great difficulties in integrating and maintaining the equipment.
Le but de la présente invention est de fournir un système apte à regrouper toutes les fonctions dans un boîtier unique de manière à éviter les inconvénients précités.The object of the present invention is to provide a system capable of grouping all the functions in a single housing so as to avoid the aforementioned drawbacks.
L'invention a donc pour objet un système de traitement des informations délivrées séparément par des interfaces homme-machine, des équipements de communication et/ou des capteurs localisés sur un champ d'intervention, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un calculateur intégré dans un boîtier unique apte à recevoir, traiter et émettre des données fournies par des périphériques et des capteurs pour permettre une mise en partage commun d'information entre les intervenants sur le champ d'intervention et faciliter leur coopération et l'aide à la prise de décision.The subject of the invention is therefore a system for processing information delivered separately by man-machine interfaces, communication equipment and / or sensors located on a field of intervention, characterized in that it comprises a computer integrated in a single box capable of receiving, processing and transmitting data provided by peripherals and sensors to allow a common sharing of information between the stakeholders in the field of intervention and facilitate their cooperation and assistance in taking decision.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, les interfaces homme-machines sont constituées par des claviers, des écrans, des écrans tactiles, des pupitres ou tout autre type d'interface de dialogue homme-machine.According to a characteristic of the invention, the man-machine interfaces consist of keyboards, screens, touch screens, consoles or any other type of human-machine dialogue interface.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le système est interface avec des capteurs, par exemple des télémètres, des équipements de localisation ou des équipements de véhicule tels des capteurs de vitesse, de direction, de carburant, des moyens de tir, des viseurs.According to another characteristic of the invention, the system is interfaced with sensors, for example range finders, location equipment or vehicle equipment such as speed, direction, fuel sensors, firing means, sights .
Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le système comprend des éléments de communication tels des émetteurs-récepteurs, des interphones ou des postes radio. Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le calculateur est intégré dans un boîtier unique muni de ports. Avantageusement, le boîtier est durci pour le protéger contre les chocs, les vibrations et les radiations électromagnétiques.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the system comprises communication elements such as transceivers, intercoms or radio sets. According to another characteristic of the invention, the computer is integrated in a single box provided with ports. Advantageously, the housing is hardened to protect it against shock, vibration and electromagnetic radiation.
Avantageusement encore, le système est intégrable dans un véhicule militaire.Advantageously also, the system can be integrated into a military vehicle.
Avantageusement encore selon un mode alternatif de réalisation, le système se présente sous la forme d'une structure portable destinée à être utilisée par un fantassin.Advantageously also according to an alternative embodiment, the system is in the form of a portable structure intended to be used by an infantryman.
Avantageusement encore, le champ d'intervention est un champ de bataille, un réseau ferroviaire, routier, maritime ou aérien.Advantageously again, the field of intervention is a battlefield, a rail, road, maritime or air network.
Un avantage du système selon l'invention réside dans la réduction du nombre de boîtier à mettre en œuvre, dans la simplification de la conception, de la définition, de l'intégration et du soutien.An advantage of the system according to the invention lies in the reduction in the number of boxes to be implemented, in the simplification of the design, the definition, the integration and the support.
Un autre avantage réside dans la polyvalence du système permettant par changement de logiciel de s'adapter à des applications diversifiées.Another advantage lies in the versatility of the system allowing by software change to adapt to diverse applications.
D'autres caractéristiques, détails et avantages de l'invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description donnée ci-après à titre indicatif en relation avec des dessins dans lesquels : - la figure 1 représente une vue schématique du système selon l'invention, la figure 2 montre schématiquement un détail de réalisation du système, etOther characteristics, details and advantages of the invention will emerge more clearly from the description given below by way of indication in relation to the drawings in which: FIG. 1 represents a schematic view of the system according to the invention, FIG. 2 schematically shows a detail of construction of the system, and
- la figure 3 est une illustration d'un réseau routier intégrant un système selon l'invention.- Figure 3 is an illustration of a road network incorporating a system according to the invention.
Comme expliqué précédemment le système selon l'invention peut être utilisé dans l'organisation et la coordination d'opération sur un champ de bataille. Ces opérations font intervenir des soldats, des véhicules par exemple des engins blindés à roues ou à chenilles, des engins de dépannage, des engins de génie civil, des engins transport de troupe, de matériels, de munitions, des avions et/ou des bateaux et plus généralement toute opération pour la réalisation d'un objectif tactique commun. L'utilisation de ces moyens et l'intervention humaine doivent donc être coordonnées afin d'assurer l'efficacité maximale de leur emploi. Il s'agit donc de créer un nœud de passage des informations recueillies de diverses manières, de recevoir des ordres, d'en émettre, d'autoriser des demandes, d'échanger des informations, afin que chaque intervenant ait l'information la plus adéquate pour remplir sa mission, de synthétiser des informations pour permettre de fournir une vision globale au niveau supérieur de commandement. Cette problématique est bien connue pour un champ de bataille. Mais jusqu'ici les informations recueillies étaient traitées de manière séparée et aucune coordination en temps réel n'était possible.As previously explained, the system according to the invention can be used in the organization and coordination of operations on a battlefield. These operations involve soldiers, vehicles for example armored wheeled or tracked vehicles, recovery vehicles, civil engineering vehicles, troop transport equipment, materials, ammunition, planes and / or boats and more generally any operation for the realization of a common tactical objective. The use of these means and human intervention must therefore be coordinated in order to ensure the maximum efficiency of their use. It is therefore a question of creating a node for the passage of information collected in various ways, of receiving orders, of issuing them, of authorizing requests, of exchanging information, so that each participant has the most information. adequate to fulfill its mission, to synthesize information to allow providing a global vision at the higher level of command. This problem is well known for a battlefield. Until now, the information collected has been treated separately and no real-time coordination has been possible.
Le système représenté sur la figure 1 permet de résoudre cette problématique en concevant un calculateur 1 équipé de ports de communication sur lesquels sont connectés différents moyens. Ces moyens sont constitués par exemple par un ordinateur portable de poche 2, un écran tactile 3 et un ordinateur portable 4 durci pour équiper des fantassins se déplaçant sur le champ de bataille indépendamment d'un véhicule ayant une mission à accomplir. Ces moyens permettent aux fantassins de recevoir des ordres en vue de leur exécution avec plus d'efficacité, d'émettre des informations sur le terrain observé, de rendre compte de leur intervention, de se localiser. On voit donc tout l'intérêt pour ces fantassins qui ne sont jamais isolés de leur base et qui peuvent à tout moment être reliés à un véhicule ou un poste de commandement.The system shown in Figure 1 solves this problem by designing a computer 1 equipped with communication ports to which are connected different means. These means consist for example of a pocket portable computer 2, a touch screen 3 and a rugged portable computer 4 for equipping infantrymen moving on the battlefield independently of a vehicle having a mission to accomplish. These means allow the infantrymen to receive orders with a view to their execution with more efficiency, to transmit information on the observed terrain, to report on their intervention, to locate themselves. So we see all the interest for these infantrymen who are never isolated from their base and who can at any time be linked to a vehicle or a command post.
Le calculateur 1 est également connecté à différents capteurs, un détecteur 5 ami-ennemi, un système de navigation 6, un viseur 7 ou un télémètre laser 8 par exemple. Ces capteurs sont par exemple intégrés dans un véhicule de combat et permettent la collecte des informations.The computer 1 is also connected to various sensors, a friend-enemy 5 detector, a navigation system 6, a viewfinder 7 or a laser rangefinder 8 for example. These sensors are for example integrated into a combat vehicle and allow the collection of information.
Le calculateur 1 est encore relié à deux équipements radio interphone 9 et 10, un système GPS 11 pour la localisation et un bus 11 d'échange de données entre les périphériques .The computer 1 is also connected to two intercom radio equipment 9 and 10, a GPS system 11 for the location and a bus 11 for exchanging data between the peripherals.
Ainsi, le système selon l'invention permet de centraliser des informations provenant de divers capteurs et d'en assurer la diffusion dans un réseau de communication soit en temps réel soit en différé. Il permet d'organiser le routage des données traitées ou reçues vers différents moyens électroniques et informatiques. Bien entendu, pour assurer ces fonctions, le calculateur 1 peut également incorporer une fonction serveur de messagerie consistant en une capacité de stockage de données avec envoi automatique et transparent pour l'utilisateur, en temps réel ou différé, vers les destinataires au travers d'un protocole.Thus, the system according to the invention makes it possible to centralize information from various sensors and ensuring its dissemination in a communication network either in real time or on a delayed basis. It makes it possible to organize the routing of data processed or received to various electronic and computer means. Of course, to perform these functions, the computer 1 can also incorporate a messaging server function consisting of a data storage capacity with automatic and transparent sending for the user, in real or deferred time, to the recipients through a protocol.
Le calculateur peut se présenter sous la forme d'un boîtier durci pour une protection renforcée afin de pouvoir fonctionner dans des environnements sévères, avec des fortes contraintes environnementales de vibrations, de compatibilité électromagnétique, de réseaux de bord, de chocs, d'humidité, ou sur le plan thermique ou climatique etc..The computer can be in the form of a hardened case for reinforced protection in order to be able to operate in severe environments, with strong environmental constraints of vibrations, electromagnetic compatibility, on-board networks, shocks, humidity, or on the thermal or climatic plan etc.
Le calculateur peut être configuré de manière fixe ou portable et suivant différents niveaux de contrainte environnementale, par exemple légère, moyenne ou sévère. Une contrainte de température d'utilisation par exemple sera qualifiée de légère pour une température comprise entre -10 et +40 °C et une contrainte sévère une température comprise entre -32 et +44 °C.The computer can be configured in a fixed or portable manner and according to different levels of environmental constraint, for example mild, medium or severe. A temperature constraint of use for example will be qualified as light for a temperature between -10 and +40 ° C and a severe constraint a temperature between -32 and +44 ° C.
Sur la figure 2, on a représenté de manière schématique le calculateur 1 associé à un connecteur 11, alimenté par un bloc l'alimentation 12, équipés d'une batterie 13 et d'un moyen de test 14. Le connecteur 11 comprend par exemple un ensemble de 12 ports 15 permettant la connexion de différents périphériques. Le calculateur est équipé par exemple d'une carte PCMCIA 16 et d'une carte extractible 17. Différents connecteurs sont prévus et à titre d'exemple on peut citer un connecteur 18 au bus du véhicule, un connecteur 19 pour communication audio, un connecteur 20 pour communication vidéo, un connecteur 21 pour l'alimentation en énergie et un connecteur 22 de bus CAN. Le calculateur 1 est encore équipé d'un ensemble de port 23 de communication radio.In Figure 2, there is shown schematically the computer 1 associated with a connector 11, supplied by a power supply unit 12, equipped with a battery 13 and a test means 14. The connector 11 comprises for example a set of 12 ports 15 allowing the connection of different peripherals. The computer is equipped, for example, with a PCMCIA card 16 and with an extractable card 17. Various connectors are provided and by way of example a connector 18 can be cited to the vehicle bus, a connector 19 for audio communication, a connector 20 for video communication, a connector 21 for the power supply and a connector 22 for CAN bus. The computer 1 is also equipped with a set of radio communication port 23.
Si on s'attache maintenant à l'utilisation du calculateur 1 dans un véhicule envoyé en opération. Ce véhicule est occupé par un certain nombre de servants et peut porter une tourelle pouvant supporter une arme. Ce véhicule est aidé dans sa mission par des fantassins dispersés sur le terrain. Leurs équipements respectifs sont alors reliés par une liaison de communication sans fil. Le calculateur 1 sera lié dans ce véhicule aux différents interphones et aux postes radio (logiciel, protocole de communication, module de messagerie) par des liaisons filaires, au chef de mission et à la tourelle par une liaison sans fil ou par fibre optique à travers un joint tournant. Le calculateur sera également relié à différents connecteurs avec le bus CAN et aux différents capteurs pour recueillir, router, sauvegarder et transmettre les données. En interne, il intégrera des moyens de calcul et de stockage mémoire, des liaisons ETHERNET ou optique ce qui réduit les perturbations électromagnétiques.If we now focus on the use of computer 1 in a vehicle sent in operation. This vehicle is occupied by a certain number of servants and can carry a turret which can support a weapon. This vehicle is helped in its mission by infantrymen dispersed on the ground. Their respective equipment is then connected by a wireless communication link. The computer 1 will be linked in this vehicle to the various intercoms and radio stations (software, communication protocol, messaging module) by wired links, to the chef de mission and to the turret by a wireless or fiber optic link through a rotating joint. The computer will also be connected to various connectors with the CAN bus and to the various sensors to collect, route, save and transmit the data. Internally, it will integrate memory calculation and storage means, ETHERNET or optical links, which reduces electromagnetic disturbances.
La figure 3 illustre un autre exemple de réalisation de la présente invention. Le système 1 de traitement de l'information est relié simultanément à des périphériques 31 et 32, un capteur 30 et un poste de commandement 33. Le périphérique 31 peut être par exemple un ordinateur dédié à un contrôleur et le périphérique 32 un autobus. Le capteur 30 peut être un système de repérage. Les périphériques et les capteurs envoient des informations au système 1. Ces informations peuvent être stockées au niveau du système 1, retransmises au poste de commandement 33, ou encore redirigées vers d'autres périphériques. Dans un contexte d'aide à la décision, le poste de commandement 33 reçoit toutes les données issues des capteurs 30 et des périphériques 31 et 32. En se basant sur ces données, le poste de commandement 33 transmet des ordres et des informations aux périphériques 31 et 32 ainsi qu'à d'autres systèmes homologues du système 1 selon l'invention. Les périphériques 31 et 32 peuvent obtenir les informations directement de la part des autres périphériques ou des capteurs 30. On voit que le système selon l'invention peut permettre de réguler la circulation des autobus de manière conviviale. FIG. 3 illustrates another exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The information processing system 1 is simultaneously connected to peripherals 31 and 32, a sensor 30 and a command post 33. The peripheral 31 can for example be a computer dedicated to a controller and the peripheral 32 a bus. The sensor 30 can be a tracking system. The peripherals and the sensors send information to the system 1. This information can be stored at the level of the system 1, retransmitted at the command post 33, or even redirected towards other peripherals. In a decision support context, the command post 33 receives all the data from the sensors 30 and the peripherals 31 and 32. Based on this data, the command post 33 transmits orders and information to the peripherals 31 and 32 as well as to other homologous systems of system 1 according to the invention. The peripherals 31 and 32 can obtain the information directly from the other peripherals or from the sensors 30. It can be seen that the system according to the invention can make it possible to regulate the circulation of buses in a user-friendly manner.
