Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a remotely controllable weapon station with a weapon, which is mounted in a mount so that it can be directed in azimuth and elevation, for fighting a target object.
  • the present invention also relates to a military vehicle with such a remotely controllable weapon station and a method for operating a remotely controllable weapon station.
  • Military vehicles such as ships or land vehicles, are often equipped with a weapon which is arranged on the outer shell of the vehicle and which is mounted in a mount such that it can be directed in azimuth and elevation.
  • mounts are often designed as remote-controlled weapon stations that can be actuated from the ballistically protected interior of the vehicle.
  • Such remotely controllable weapon stations are for example from the DE 10 2011 050 277 A1 known. Individual shots or volleys can be fired from the remote-controlled weapon station.
  • a remotely controllable weapon station which comprises a control device with a display device and a memory device.
  • the display device shows a stored view of a target device and the storage device stores the information about the filing between the line of fire (LOF) and the line of sight (LOS).
  • LEF line of fire
  • LOS line of sight
  • a method and a device are disclosed for controlling and varying the firing sequence of a machine gun, with a given firing sequence (cadence) which is in the range of a resonance cadence, the firing sequence is changed from shot to shot in such a way that the time interval between adjacent firings alternately once is less and one time greater than the constant time interval between the individual shot releases calculated for the specified cadence, so that the total desired cadence is achieved, but the resonance cadence is avoided.
  • the disadvantage of the conventional solutions is that the variation of the cadence refers exclusively to parameters internal to the weapon, such as the resonance behavior or the vibration behavior of the weapon, but not to parameters external to the weapon, such as the distance to the target or the size of the target.
  • the document WO01 / 36893 discloses a variation in cadence in a handheld weapon based on the range and size of the target.
  • the document U.S. 5,247,867 A describes a speed adjustment system for an automatic defense cannon with controllable muzzle velocity.
  • the speed adjustment system comprises a control device for determining the projectile ejection speed which is necessary in order to achieve an effective target impact speed which is less than a predetermined projectile impact speed.
  • the determined projectile ejection speed is made available to the automatic weapon gun system.
  • a remotely controllable weapon station with a weapon for fighting a target object is proposed, which is mounted in a mount such that it can be directed in azimuth and elevation.
  • the remotely controllable weapon station comprises a first unit for determining a target distance of the target object to the weapon, a second unit for determining a physical target extent of the target object and a third unit for setting a maximum cadence of the weapon depending on the determined target distance and on the determined physical target extent .
  • the remotely controllable weapon station is arranged in particular on a military vehicle.
  • the military vehicle is, for example, a warship.
  • the command center of the warship includes a fire control computer by means of which the weapon station can be remotely controlled.
  • the target object is, for example, an enemy military vehicle, such as an enemy warship.
  • the weapon is, for example, a naval gun.
  • the cadence can also be referred to as the rate of fire, rate of fire, frequency of fire, rate of fire or rate of fire and relates to the rate of fire of the weapon or gun.
  • the cadence is given in shots per unit of time, preferably in shots per minute.
  • a variation or setting of the cadence is advantageously made possible automatically with regard to parameters external to the weapon, the physical target extent and the target range. This makes it possible to adjust the cadence of the weapon adaptively to the target object.
  • the coincidence window In a remote-controlled weapon station, there can be a deviation between the line of fire (LOF) and the line of sight (LOS). This deviation can also be referred to as the coincidence window and is ideally small.
  • LEF line of fire
  • LOS line of sight
  • the setting or variation of the cadence of the remotely controllable weapon station now makes it possible to vary the coincidence window as a function of the target distance and the target size (or target size).
  • the The triggering of a shot is instructed, for example, by pressing the fire button, the weapon fires shots, the cadence being set and thus varying as a function of the target distance and target extension.
  • the automated variation of the cadence according to the invention is advantageous in particular when fighting fast sea targets or air targets that are moving towards the remotely controllable weapon station with at least a part of their speed vector. If the distance is initially great, a small coincidence window can be set for effective combat against the target object, so that only a low rate of cadence is provided for the weapon. While the distance to the target object is subsequently reduced, the coincidence window is enlarged so that an increasing cadence is permissible for effective combat. In this way, the optimal cadence of the weapon of the remote-controlled weapon station is automatically selected even when the target distance varies greatly, thus maximizing the combat efficiency and at the same time saving resources.
  • the cadence can thus be determined by the target distance and / or the target extension in such a way that the cadence can increase when the target distance is reduced.
  • the respective unit for example the first unit, can be implemented in terms of hardware and / or also in terms of software.
  • the respective unit can be designed as a device or as part of a device, for example as a computer or as a microprocessor or as a fire control computer.
  • the respective unit can be designed as a computer program product, as a function, as a routine, as part of a program code or as an executable object.

  • the display system comprises in particular a screen, for example a touchscreen, and a user interface with input means for entering commands for the display system.
  • the display system is connected in particular to a number of cameras which record the surroundings of the weapon.
  • the second unit is set up to determine a size of a target shown on the display system and assigned to the target object, and the physical target extent of the target object as a function of the determined size of the particular target on the display system and the to determine a specific target distance of the target object.
  • the second unit is set up to determine the size of the target shown and determined on the display system by counting the pixels covered by the target on the display system.
  • the pixel elements covered by the target in the display system or the framed pixel area of the target are recorded as target size or target extent. Taking into account the measured target distance, the recorded pixel area can then be converted into square meters of a real physical target area.
  • the third unit which is integrated in particular in the fire control software, determines the necessary target accuracy by calculating the permissible coincidence value for the next shot to be released. Provided the operator then pressed the fire button is, as long as the fire button is pressed, the optimal cadence is calculated again and again for each pending shot and the shot is only released when all conditions are met. This process is repeated as long as the operator keeps the fire button pressed or the magazine of the weapon is empty.
