Description

B E S C H R E I B U N G  DESCRIPTION
Überwachung des Zustandes Umweltbelastungen ausgesetzter Munition Monitoring the condition Environmental pollution of exposed ammunition
oder Munitionsteile  or ammunition parts
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Möglichkeit zur Überwachung des Zustandes von den Umweltbelastungen ausgesetzter Munition oder Munitionsteile. The invention relates to a way to monitor the state of the environmental pollution exposed ammunition or ammunition parts.
Bekanntlich wird die Munition, die sich bereits im Gefechtsfeld befunden hat und diversen Umwelteinflüssen ausgesetzt, aber nicht bestimmungsgemäß benutzt wurde (im Folgenden auch als„gestresste" Munition bezeichnet) wieder in ein entsprechendes Munitionsdepot transportiert und dort bis zum nächsten Einsatz gelagert oder im Einsatzland direkt vernichtet, wenn ein sicherer Transport nicht gewährleistet werden kann. Spätestens nach einem fest vorgegebenen Zeitraum, der in der Regel unabhängig von dem Zustand der durch Umwelteinflüsse beeinflusster Munitionskomponenten ist, wird jedoch die nicht bestimmungsgemäß verwendete Munition vernichtet oder recycelt. Insbesondere wenn die Munition im Ausland im Einsatz war und beispielsweise relativ großen Temperaturschwankungen (z.B. bei einem Einsatz in Wüstengegenden) ausgesetzt war, können erhebliche, die Lebensdauer der Munition verkürzende Veränderungen bei einzelnen Munitionskomponenten (beispielsweise bei dem Treibladungspulver oder bei der verbrennbaren Treibladungshülse) auftreten. Durch die Überwachung der den Umweltbelastungen ausgesetzten Munition kann eine Aussage über die sichere Verwendbarkeit und damit über die Restlebensdauer dieser gestressten Munition getroffen werden. As is known, the ammunition, which has already been in the battlefield and exposed to various environmental influences, but not used as intended (hereinafter also referred to as "stressed" ammunition) again transported to a corresponding ammunition depot and stored there until the next use or directly in the country of use However, after a fixed period of time, which is generally independent of the state of the ammunition components affected by environmental influences, the improperly used ammunition will be destroyed or recycled, especially if the ammunition is stored abroad was in use and, for example, relatively large temperature fluctuations (eg when used in desert areas) was exposed to significant, the life of the ammunition shortening changes in individual ammunition components (for example, in the Treibladungspu lver or the combustible propellant charge sleeve) occur. By monitoring the ammunition exposed to the environmental impact, a statement can be made about the safe usability and thus about the remaining life of this stressed ammunition.
Eine Vorrichtung zum Identifizieren von Munition ist aus der DE 41 37 819 A1 bekannt. Diese Vorrichtung besitzt eine Datenverarbeitungsanlage mit einer Lese- und / oder Schreibeinrichtung sowie Einrichtungen zur Speicherung und Verarbeitung aufzunehmender und / oder abzugebender Daten. An apparatus for identifying ammunition is known from DE 41 37 819 A1. This device has a data processing system with a reading and / or writing device as well as devices for storing and processing data to be recorded and / or output.
Eine weitere Vorrichtung zur Identifizierung des Munitionstyps einer Munition zeigt die DE 10 2005 040 407 B4 auf, wobei insbesondere auf die Einbindung der Erkennungseinrich- tung in einen Zuführstern hingewiesen wird. Damit die Erkennungseinrichtung den geeigneten Geschosstyp zum Verschießen wählen kann, wird die Information auf einem Informationsträger ausgelesen. Auf diesem können beispielsweise die Losnummer, wegen evtl. Schwankungen der relevanten Kerngrößen (Druck, Geschwindigkeit, Temperatur), die Geschwindigkeit V0 und wenn nicht in der Losnummer enthalten, das Herstelldatum und der Hersteller vermerkt sein. Das Herstelldatum dient beispielsweise dazu, die bisherige Lagerzeit der Munition berücksichtigen zu können. Verwendet werden kann ein Barcode. Another device for identifying the ammunition type of ammunition is shown in DE 10 2005 040 407 B4, with particular reference to the integration of the recognition device. tion is pointed in a feed star. So that the recognition device can select the suitable bullet type for firing, the information is read out on an information carrier. On this example, the lot number, because of possible fluctuations of the relevant core sizes (pressure, speed, temperature), the speed V 0 and if not included in the lot number, the date of manufacture and the manufacturer be noted. The date of manufacture serves, for example, to be able to take into account the previous storage time of the ammunition. Can be used a barcode.
Eine den Erwerber einer Munition identifizierende Information wird in der DE 200 06 394 U1 beschrieben, während die DE 197 16 227 C2 sich mit einem Waffensystem beschäftigt, dass sich durch das Zusammenspiel Munition und Waffengerät aufzeichnet. Auch hier werden munitionsspezifische Daten berücksichtigt. A the acquirer of ammunition identifying information is described in DE 200 06 394 U1, while DE 197 16 227 C2 deals with a weapon system that records by the interaction of ammunition and weapon equipment. Again, ammunition-specific data is taken into account.
Aus der DE 10 2008 016 821 A1 ist ein gattungsgemäßes Verfahren bekannt, dass Umwelteinflüsse oder dergleichen, welche die Munition beispielsweise beim Transport selbst oder während ihrer Lagerung, berücksichtigt: Dazu wird ein Barcode an der Munition vorgeschlagen, während aus dem Artikel im Internet http://www.rheinmet.all- detec.de/index.php?fid=3500&lang=2 bekannt ist, dass es aus technischen Gründen und wegen der Gefahrstoffeigenschaften nicht möglich ist, Umwelt- und Belastungseinflüsse einer Patrone direkt mit dieser zu verbinden. Damit wird die Verwendung von Barcode- Etiketten aus Papier oder Kunststoff praktisch ausgeschlossen, weil durch die Etiketten Eigenschaften der Munition beim Verschuss beeinflusst werden können. From DE 10 2008 016 821 A1 a generic method is known that environmental influences or the like, which considers the ammunition, for example, during transport itself or during its storage: For this purpose, a bar code is proposed on the ammunition, while the article on the Internet http: //www.rheinmet.all-detec.de/index.php?fid=3500&lang=2 It is known that for technical reasons and because of the hazardous substance properties it is not possible to directly connect the environmental and load effects of a cartridge with it. This virtually eliminates the use of paper or plastic barcode labels because the tags can affect the properties of the ammunition when fired.
Hier stellt sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe, eine Möglichkeit aufzuzeigen, die eine direkte Anbindung der Informationen an die Munition ermöglicht. Here, the invention has the object to show a way that allows a direct connection of the information to the ammunition.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgezeigt. The object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are shown in the subclaims.
Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, die Informationen insbesondere am Hülsenboden aufzulasem, d.h., den Identifikationscode, beispielsweise ein Barcode, mittels Lasergestützter Beschriftung am Patronenhülsenboden an- bzw. einzubringen. Alternativen zum Barcode sind dem Fachmann bekannt und hiermit eingeschlossen. Dadurch wird gewährleistet, dass keinerlei Veränderungen am Werkstoff selbst durch externe Einflüsse vorgenommen werden. The invention is based on the idea aufzulasem the information, in particular at the bottom of the case, ie, the identification code, such as a barcode, by means of laser-based inscription on the cartridge case bottom or bring. Alternatives to the barcode are known to those skilled in the art and are hereby included. This ensures that no changes to the material itself due to external influences be made.
Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den folgenden, anhand von Figuren erläuterten Ausführungsbeispielen. Es zeigt: Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following, with reference to figures explained embodiments. It shows:
Fig. 1 eine schematische Darstellung der Aufbringung der Information mittels Lasers, 1 is a schematic representation of the application of the information by means of laser,
Fig. 2 schematisch einen mehrere Zeitabschnitte umfassenden Munitionsfluss, wobei während der einzelnen Zeitabschnitte eine Erfassung der dieser Munition zugeordneten Umweltdaten erfolgt, und FIG. 2 schematically shows an ammunition flow comprising a plurality of time intervals, with the environmental data associated with this ammunition being recorded during the individual time periods, and FIG
Fig. 3 das Schema eines Informationsflusses während eines der in Fig. 2 angedeuteten Zeitabschnittes. Fig. 3 shows the scheme of an information flow during one of the indicated in Fig. 2 period.
In Fig. 1 ist mit 20 ein Patronenhülsenboden einer Patronenhülse 21 einer Munition 8 gekennzeichnet, auf den mittels Laser 22 ein Identifikationscode 9, hier ein Barcode, auf- bzw. eingelasert wird. Der Barcode 9 enthält zumindest die Informationen, die für die Überwachung notwendig sind. In Fig. 1 at 20 a cartridge case bottom of a cartridge case 21 of an ammunition 8 is indicated, on the laser 22, an identification code 9, here a barcode, up or lasered. The barcode 9 contains at least the information necessary for the monitoring.
In Fig. 2 zeigt das Verfahren zur Überwachung der Munition 8. Mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 ist die Auslieferung entsprechender Munition (beispielsweise einer Patrone) nach ihrer Laborierung in einem Fertigungswerk angedeutet. An die Auslieferung der Munition schließen sich die mit den Bezugsziffern 2 bis 7 gekennzeichneten Zeitabschnitte an, während derer die Munition 8 unterschiedlichen Umwelteinflüssen ausgesetzt ist. In Fig. 2 shows the method for monitoring the ammunition 8. The reference numeral 1 indicates the delivery of appropriate ammunition (for example, a cartridge) after its laboratory in a manufacturing plant. The delivery of the ammunition is followed by the periods indicated by the reference numerals 2 to 7, during which the ammunition 8 is exposed to different environmental influences.
Dabei ist mit 2 der Zeitraum gekennzeichnet, der sich nach der Laborierung der Munition 8 in einem entsprechenden Auslieferungslager anschließt. Nach Entnahme der Munition 8 aus dem Auslieferungslager wird diese während eines Zeitabschnittes 3, beispielsweise mittels eines Flugzeuges, zur bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung in das Ausland verbracht und dort während eines Zeitabschnittes 4 in einem Zentrallager zwischengelagert. Anschließend erfolgt während eines Zeitabschnittes 5 der Transport der Munition 8 zu einem vorbestimmten Einsatzort. Während eines weiteren Zeitabschnittes 6 befindet sich die Munition innerhalb eines Kampffahrzeuges zur bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung. The period is marked with 2, which follows after the ammunition 8 in a corresponding distribution center. After removal of the ammunition 8 from the distribution warehouse this is spent during a period of time 3, for example by means of an aircraft, for its intended use in foreign countries and stored there for a period of time 4 in a central warehouse. Subsequently, during a period of time 5, the transport of the ammunition 8 to a predetermined location. During a further period of time 6, the ammunition is within a combat vehicle for its intended use.
Sofern die entsprechende Munition 8 während des Kampfeinsatzes nicht verschossen wurde, wird sie entladen und beispielsweise während eines Zeitabschnittes 7 wiederum in dem Zentrallager gelagert. Unless the corresponding ammunition 8 was not fired during the combat mission was discharged, it is stored and stored again, for example during a period of time 7 in the central warehouse.
In dieser Zeit werden also die während der verschiedenen Zeitabschnitte 2 bis 7 auf die Munition einwirkenden Umwelteinflüsse ermittelt und dokumentiert, um diese bei der weiteren Verwendung der Munition 8 berücksichtigen zu können. During this time, therefore, the environmental influences acting on the ammunition during the various time periods 2 to 7 are determined and documented so that they can be taken into account in the further use of the ammunition 8.
Hier kommt der Barcode 9 der Munition 8 zum Einsatz, der die Munition 8 eindeutig kennzeichnet. Logistische Komponenten, wie die Palette, auf der sich die Munition 8 befindet, sowie die Fahrzeuge, mittels welcher die Munition 8 befördert wird, sind jeweils mit einer Messeinrichtung (Datenbox) 10 zur selbständigen Ermittlung der Umweltdaten (Temperatur, Luftfeuchte, Schock bzw. Vibrationswerte) ausgestattet. Here is the barcode 9 of the ammunition 8 is used, which clearly identifies the ammunition 8. Logistic components, such as the pallet on which the ammunition 8 is located, as well as the vehicles by means of which the ammunition 8 is conveyed, are each provided with a measuring device (data box) 10 for the autonomous determination of the environmental data (temperature, air humidity, shock or vibration values ) fitted.
Eine Person, welche die Ver- und Entladung der Munition 8 beaufsichtigt, verfügt über mindestens einen tragbaren Kleinrechner 11 , in der Regel ein so genanntes PDA- Gerät (PDA: Personal Digital Assistant), mit integriertem Informationscodescanner 12, hier ein Barcodelaser, sodass über die Codierung der Munition 8 eine Zuordnung der Munition 8 zur jeweils zuständigen Datenbox 10 durchführbar ist. Dabei hilft ein menügeführtes Programm dem Benutzer des PDA- Gerätes 11 , diese Zuordnung mittels des in dem PDA- Gerät integrierten Barcodescanners 12 durchzuführen. A person who supervises the loading and unloading of ammunition 8, has at least one portable small computer 11, usually a so-called PDA device (PDA: Personal Digital Assistant), with integrated information code scanner 12, here a barcode laser, so about the coding of the ammunition 8 an assignment of the ammunition 8 to the respective data box 10 is feasible. In this case, a menu-guided program helps the user of the PDA device 11 to carry out this assignment by means of the bar code scanner 12 integrated in the PDA device.
Die Datenbox 10 befindet sich bei dem in Fig. 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel beispielsweise an einer Palette, auf welcher die Munition 8 in dem Auslieferungslager angeordnet ist. Anhand des Barcodes 9 der Munition 8 verknüpft der Benutzer des PDA- Gerätes 11 die auf der Palette befindliche Munition 8 mit der Datenbox 10, sodass das System von nun an weiß, dass die Daten dieser Datenbox 10 für die auf der Palette befindliche Munition 8 gelten. The data box 10 is located in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, for example, on a pallet on which the ammunition 8 is arranged in the distribution warehouse. Using the barcode 9 of the ammunition 8, the user of the PDA device 11 links the ammunition 8 located on the pallet to the data box 10, so that the system knows from now on that the data of this data box 10 applies to the ammunition 8 located on the pallet ,
Wird nun die Palette zum Transport in ein Fahrzeug geladen, wird durch Scannen des Barcodes 9 der Munition 8 und des Barcodes des entsprechenden Fahrzeuges eine Neuzuordnung der Munition 8 zu der im Fahrzeug befindlichen Datenbox durchgeführt. Von nun an weiß das System, dass die Daten der in dem Fahrzeug angeordneten Datenbox für die nun im Fahrzeug befindliche Munition gelten etc. Dabei muss es sich bei dem zum Scannen verwendeten PDA- Gerät nicht um das gleiche PDA- Gerät 11 handeln, wie es zum Scannen der Munition im Auslieferungslager verwendet wurde. Parallel zu dieser Zuordnung von Munition 8 zur jeweiligen Datenbox 10 können mit Hilfe der in dem jeweiligen PDA- Gerät 11 befindlichen Software sporadisch die gewonnenen Umweltdaten (unter Berücksichtigung von Datum und Uhrzeit) aus der entsprechenden Datenbox 10 auch ausgelesen werden. If the pallet is then loaded into a vehicle for transport, a new assignment of the ammunition 8 to the data box located in the vehicle is carried out by scanning the barcode 9 of the ammunition 8 and the barcode of the corresponding vehicle. From now on, the system knows that the data stored in the vehicle data box for now in the vehicle ammunition apply, etc. The PDA device used for scanning need not be the same PDA device 11, as it was used to scan the ammunition at the distribution center. In parallel with this assignment of ammunition 8 to the respective data box 10, the environmental data obtained (taking into account the date and time) can also be read from the corresponding data box 10 sporadically with the aid of the software located in the respective PDA device 11.
Alle mit Hilfe des (oder der) entsprechenden PDA- Gerätes 11 durchgeführten Zuordnungen und gesammelten Daten werden auf einer separaten PDA- Station 13 zusammengeführt und auf einer„sicheren" Leitung via Internet (oder mittels einer CD) auf einen Datenbankserver 14 übermittelt. Die auf diesem Datenbankserver 14 hinterlegte Software zum Speichern, Sortieren und Aufbereiten der Daten führt die Daten dahingehend zusammen, dass nun komponentenspezifisch (patronen-, geschossspezifisch etc.) die Historie der entsprechenden Munition dargestellt werden kann (d.h. wann befand sich welche Munition unter welchen Umweltbelastungen). All assignments and collected data carried out with the aid of the (or the) corresponding PDA device 11 are combined on a separate PDA station 13 and transmitted on a "secure" line via the Internet (or by means of a CD) to a database server 14 Software for storing, sorting and processing the data stored in this database server 14 merges the data so that the history of the corresponding ammunition can now be represented component-specifically (cartridge-specific, bullet-specific, etc.) (ie when was which ammunition under which environmental pollution).
Eine weitere, auf dem Datenbankserver 14 hinterlegte Software dient dazu, die Umweltbelastungsdaten in Verbindung mit der speziellen Munition zu bewerten, um eine Aussage zu treffen, in welchem Zustand sich diese befindet und ob sie weiterhin Verwendung finden kann. Another software stored on the database server 14 serves to evaluate the environmental impact data associated with the particular ammunition in order to determine what condition it is in and whether it can continue to be used.
