Hierbei werden zur Simulation des scharfen Schusses Systeme verwendet, die aus einem Lasersender, dem Schusssimulator, als aktives und einem Empfängersystem als passives Teil bestehen, wobei der aktive Teil an der Waffe und der passive Teil am gegnerischen Waffensystem oder bei Infanteristen an der Ausrüstung angebracht ist.Here are used to simulate the sharp shot systems consisting of a laser transmitter, the shot simulator, as an active and a receiver system as a passive part, the active part of the weapon and the passive part of the enemy weapon system or infantrymen on the equipment is attached ,
Bevor die an der Waffe befestigten Lasersender zur Anwendung kommen können, ist es erforderlich, die Simulatorachse zur Visierlinie der Waffe auszurichten.Before the laser transmitters attached to the weapon can be used, it is necessary to align the simulator axis with the sight line of the weapon.
Das kann z. B. mit einem bekannten Ausrichtsystem gemäß der
Bekannt ist auch eine auf den Lasersender aufzusetzende Ausrichteinheit gemäß der
Das in beiden Fällen entfernt zur Waffe aufgestellte Ziel lässt zwar Vorteile hinsichtlich der Genauigkeit bei der Ausrichtung erwarten, doch resultiert daraus der Nachteil einer unvorteilhaften Handhabbarkeit.Although the target set up in both cases away from the weapon can be expected to provide advantages in terms of accuracy in alignment, but it results in the disadvantage of unfavorable handling.
Andererseits würde eine für kleine und kompakte Geräte erforderliche Abstandsverkürzung zum Ziel die Justiergenauigkeit verringern, wie das z. B. bei einem Simulator gemäß der
Ferner soll das erforderliche Justiergerät, ebenso wie der Lasersender, für eine große Bandbreite von Waffentypen geeignet sein. Diese Universalitätsforderung bezieht sich insbesondere auf die Kompensation unterschiedlicher Abstände der Visierlinie zum Lauf und die damit verbundenen Anbau- und Visierlagen.Furthermore, the required adjustment device, as well as the laser transmitter, should be suitable for a wide range of weapon types. This universality requirement relates in particular to the compensation of different distances of the sighting line to the barrel and the associated cultivation and sighting positions.

Da die Achse des Hilfsstrahles bereits werksseitig parallel zur Laserstrahlachse vorjustiert ist, ist nach der Justierung der Achse des Hilfsstrahles zur Visierachse auch die Laserstrahlachse justiert.Since the axis of the auxiliary beam is pre-adjusted at the factory parallel to the laser beam axis, the laser beam axis is adjusted after the adjustment of the axis of the auxiliary beam to the sighting axis.
Um die Hilfsstrahlachse zur Visierachse justieren zu können, wird der Hilfsstrahlengang, bestimmt durch eine von einer Lampe beleuchtete Lochblende und eine Linse, in den Visierstrahlengang über Umlenkelemente eingekoppelt, sodass die Lochblende in die Ebene eines Fadenkreuzes abgebildet wird.In order to be able to adjust the auxiliary beam axis to the sighting axis, the auxiliary beam path, determined by an apertured diaphragm illuminated by a lamp and a lens, is coupled into the sighting beam path via deflecting elements so that the apertured diaphragm is imaged in the plane of a reticule.
Zur Justierung werden die Befestigungsmittel solange verstellt, bis der Mittelpunkt der Abbildung der Lochblende und der Mittelpunkt des Fadenkreuzes zusammenfallen.To adjust the fasteners are adjusted until the center of the image of the pinhole and the center of the crosshairs coincide.
Der Flilfsstrahlengang stellt gemeinsam mit den Befestigungselementen eine einrichtungsintegrierte Justiereinheit dar.The Flilfsstrahlengang together with the fasteners is a device-integrated adjustment.
Nachteilig ist die Notwendigkeit der werksseitigen Vorjustierung, der technische Mehraufwand für eine Schusssimulationseinrichtung durch Integration einer Justiereinheit und das sich damit erhöhende Gewicht für die Schusssimulationseinrichtung.The disadvantage is the need for the factory pre-adjustment, the additional technical effort for a weft simulation device by integration of an adjustment and the thus increasing weight for the weft simulation device.
