Definitions

  • the technical field of the invention is that of devices and methods for controlling the firing of a weapon system mounted on a vehicle.
  • the most empirical weapons systems are connected to a fire control device that simply fires as soon as it is operated by the user.
  • the firing line also integrates the signals provided by specific sensors which make it possible in particular to measure the movements of the vehicle or the barrel tube (bow) caused by the acceleration of the tube due to the movements of the vehicle.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device and a method for controlling the firing of a weapon mounted on a vehicle and which make it possible at all times to provide the user with the possibility of shooting in the best operational conditions necessary.
  • the subject of the invention is a fire control device for a vehicle-mounted weapon system, which device comprises a fire control means which is connected to a fire computer connected to sensors and which can determine the moment. firing according to data relating to the firing environment and / or to the behavior of the weapon system, characterized in that the firing calculator incorporates an information processing means which provides a calculation of the instantaneous firing method according to at least two different determination modes, a mode giving priority to the accuracy of the shot and a mode giving priority to the speed of shooting, the firing control means allowing the choice of one or other of the modes of calculating the instant of fire.
  • the fire control means may for example comprise a double-stroke button, the shortest stroke corresponding to the mode giving priority to accuracy, the longest race corresponding to the mode giving priority to the speed.
  • the fire control means may comprise at least two distinct actuators, one associated with the mode giving priority to accuracy, the other associated with the mode giving priority to speed.
  • the fire control means may thus comprise two buttons, one associated with the mode giving priority to the precision, the other associated with the mode giving priority to speed.
  • the computer may be coupled to a means ensuring the pointing of an armament to a target target.
  • the computer can be coupled to sensors that provide information on the parameters affecting the accuracy of the shot.
  • the invention also relates to a firing control method of a weapon system mounted on a vehicle, wherein a firing computer connected to sensors determines the firing time according to data relating to the environment.
  • weapon system an operator initiating the firing by an action on a firing control means, characterized in that the operator has the choice between two different firing modes, a mode giving priority to the accuracy of the firing system. shooting and a mode giving priority to the speed of fire, the choice of one or other of the modes by the operator using the fire control means leading the computer to implement at the level of a means for processing the information, a calculation of the firing instant following at least two different modes of determination, means thus ensuring the firing trigger by implementing a different firing trigger condition.
  • the firing trigger condition will be more severe than when the operator chooses the timed firing mode.
  • the trigger condition corresponding to the speed-priority firing mode may be chosen such that the opening time of the associated firing window is less than or equal to half a second.
  • the information processing means may implement algorithms calculating at each instant the error that would be committed if the shot was fired at the moment considered, the means allowing shooting only if the foreseeable error is below a certain threshold, the chosen threshold being different according to the firing mode chosen.
  • a weapon system 1 comprises a tube 2 which is pivotally mounted on journals 3 with respect to a turret 4. The latter is itself pivotally mounted about a vertical axis 5 with respect to a vehicle (not shown) .
  • Motorization means 6 and 7 respectively provide pivoting in the field and site of the weapon system to allow its pointing towards a target (not shown). These motorization means are controlled by a pointing device 8 which is intended to ensure the orientation of the weapon system 1 to the target.
  • Optical aiming means (not shown) are also used to designate the target, that is to say, indicate its direction to the weapon system.
  • This weapon system is associated with a fire control device 9.
  • the device 9 comprises a firing control means 10 (here comprising a push button 16) which is connected to a firing computer 11.
  • the firing control means 10 is intended to detect a firing order given by the operator.
  • the computer 11 is also intended to determine the firing time based on data relating to the shooting environment and / or the behavior of the weapon system 1.
  • the computer 11 incorporates an information processing means 14, for example an instantaneous firing time determination algorithm and is connected, on the one hand to the pointing device 8 and on the other hand to different sensors 12, 13 which give information on the parameters affecting the accuracy of the shot.
  • an information processing means 14 for example an instantaneous firing time determination algorithm
  • the computer 11 incorporates an information processing means 14, for example an instantaneous firing time determination algorithm and is connected, on the one hand to the pointing device 8 and on the other hand to different sensors 12, 13 which give information on the parameters affecting the accuracy of the shot.
  • meteorological parameters speed and direction of the wind
  • parameters on the weapon's tube geometry deformation or arc
  • weapon system dynamics parameters intensity and orientation of the vector acceleration applied to the barrel of the weapon
  • the skilled person will select the sensors according to the functional characteristics of his information processing means 14 ensuring the triggering of the shot.
  • the pointing device 8 may include different calculation algorithms that use the information provided by the pointing device 8 (information to determine the difference between the orientation of the tube and the target) and those from the sensors of environment (12,13). These algorithms calculate at each moment the error that would be made if the shot was actually triggered at the moment considered.
  • the error can be defined as a difference in meters between the target point and the intended impact point given the shooting environment.
  • the means 14 When the computer 11 detects a firing order given by the control means 10, the means 14 therefore authorizes the firing of this firing only if the calculated predictable error is below a certain level or threshold which is a value or else a set of values characterizing a predefined law giving, for example, the variability of the threshold as a function of time and incorporated (s) in a memory or a register of the computer 11.
  • a certain level or threshold which is a value or else a set of values characterizing a predefined law giving, for example, the variability of the threshold as a function of time and incorporated (s) in a memory or a register of the computer 11.
  • the processing means 14 also incorporates an algorithm for comparing the error calculated with this (or these) threshold (s), which algorithm thus allows to authorize a firing order which is then transmitted to the weapon by the line Firing control 15. It would of course be possible to implement an information processing means 14 of analog type (devoid of algorithms but implementing electronic filters).
  • an information processing means 14 will be implemented which can use at least two different triggering conditions (for example by implementing two values or two sets of different threshold values. or by implementing two modes of calculation different from the moment of shooting).
  • the processing means 14 thus comprises, with relatively simple means, two modes of determining the moment of fire: a mode giving priority to the accuracy of the shot and a mode giving priority to the speed of shooting.
  • choosing a larger error threshold makes it possible to reduce the accuracy of the shot but gives priority to the speed of the shot.
  • This threshold of priority can be defined at the speed so that the opening time of the firing window does not exceed half a second.
  • the invention also incorporates a fire control means 10 which allows the choice of one or the other of the firing modes.
  • the operator will press the command means 10 with a reduced stroke. He can indeed control his firing command and wait for the time necessary for the accuracy to be ensured.
  • the longest C2 run is chosen and it is natural for a user to press the fire button to the maximum to trigger the shot at the earliest.
  • a user can initially prioritize the accuracy of the shot by holding the firing button 16 halfway, then change and trigger the rapid fire by continuing the movement of depression.
  • the information processing means 14 will have its threshold modified (or its modified mode of operation) and will automatically change firing mode.
  • control means 10 made in the form of a pivoting lever, the choice of the shooting mode can then be made according to the direction of rotation of the lever.
  • the shooting can be triggered with priority to accuracy by a clockwise rotation and shooting with priority to speed with a rotation in the opposite direction of clockwise.
  • the figure 2 thus schematically shows a firing control means 10 comprising two actuators or push buttons 16a, 16b.
  • the push button 16a makes it possible to control the shot with priority to precision (choice of the threshold 16).
  • the push button 16b makes it possible to control the shot with a priority to the speed (choice of the threshold 17).
  • the processing means 14 will retain the threshold corresponding to the priority to the speed (second order given by the user).
  • figure 2 is a schematic representation.
  • the control means used may associate an actuator of a given technology for the choice of the "priority to precision” mode and an actuator of another technology for the "priority to speed” mode. and a pedal or a voice command (precision) and a button (speed) ...
  • the pointing device 8 may be associated with an automatic target tracking device.
