  Further, in the following embodiments, it is needless to say that the constituent elements are not necessarily essential unless particularly specified and apparently essential in principle.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of a shooting training system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a sequence chart showing the flow of processing of the shooting training system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  This shooting training system includes a trainer 100, an aircraft 200, an aircraft controller 300, and a control device 400.

  The trainer 100 is a training person who performs training. This training personnel is equipped with a simulated firearm 101.

  The simulated firearm 101 includes a laser transmission unit 101a, a state sensor unit 101b, a GPS module 101c, a display unit 101d, a camera 101e, and an antenna 101f. The simulated firearm 101 is equipped with a plurality of operation switches (not shown).

  The laser transmission unit 101 a is an optical device that emits a laser to the flying object 200.

  A laser signal is output from the laser transmitter 101a in accordance with the operation of the operation switch.

  Here, as an example of the operation switch, in the present embodiment, an IFF (enemy friend identification) activation switch, an uncage switch, and a launch switch are provided.

  When the IFF activation switch is pressed, an aiming signal is intermittently transmitted from the laser transmission unit 101a at predetermined intervals. Subsequently, when the uncage switch is pressed, an uncage signal is transmitted from the laser transmission unit 101a. Subsequently, when the firing switch is pressed, a firing signal is transmitted from the laser transmission unit 101a.

  Here, each signal includes information representing the simulated firearm, the state of the simulated firearm 101 acquired by the state sensor 101b, the position information of the GPS module 101c, and the like in addition to the firing time.

  Whether the trainee 100 passes the line of sight or the fire line from the trainer 100 to the flying object 200 depending on whether or not the directional laser beam irradiated from the laser transmitting unit 101a reaches the light receiver 201 described later, the flying object 200 on the receiving side, etc. Judgment. For this purpose, the output only needs to have a certain directivity, and may be replaced with an output device other than the laser beam.

  The state sensor 101b is a 6-axis sensor or the like that can detect the orientation (up and down, left and right), rotation angle, and the like of the simulated firearm 101.

  The GPS module 101c is a position information acquisition module for specifying the position of the simulated firearm 101. If position information can be acquired, it is not particularly related to GPS.

  The display unit 101d is a liquid crystal display that outputs training results and the like. The display unit 101d may not be provided if display is not necessary.

  The camera 101e is a CCD camera or the like for providing an image of the flying object 200 to the trainee 100 via the display unit 101d or the like during a lock-on operation.

  The antenna 101f is an antenna for establishing communication with the control device.

  The flying object 200 is a moving target such as a helicopter or an aircraft that is a target during training. As before, the air vehicle 200 includes a light receiver 201 and a display 202. In addition, the aircraft 200 according to the present invention further includes a transmission unit 203, an aircraft control unit 204, and a GPS module 205. The flying body 200 only needs to fly at a desired flight speed.

  The light receiver 201 is an optical sensor that receives the laser light transmitted from the laser transmitter 101a. In order to achieve the above object, it is required to react only to the wavelength of the laser transmitted from the laser transmitter 101a and not to react with light of other wavelengths. The detection of these significant wavelengths may be secured as a sensor function, or the function may be provided by error detection during demodulation.

  The indicator 202 is an external output device that outputs a message to the outside when the light receiver 201 receives light and receives a specific signal.

  The transmission unit 203 is a wireless transceiver that transmits the processing result of the flying object control unit 204 to the flying object controller 300 or receives information from the flying object controller 300.

  The flying object control unit 204 is a control unit that controls the light receiver 201, the indicator 202, and the transmission unit 203. Note that the flying object control unit 204 considers the control of the range related to the present system, and does not consider the functions of the flying object 200 itself such as navigation.

  As will be described below, the lock-on determination process needs to be managed for a certain time. The flying object control unit 204 includes a timer used for the lock-on determination process.

  The GPS module 205 is a position information acquisition module for specifying the position of the flying object 200. If position information can be acquired, it is not particularly related to GPS.

  Note that attitude information such as the speed, flight direction, and position information acquired by the GPS module 205 is always transmitted from the transmitting unit 203 of the flying object 200 to the control device 400 at a constant cycle. Thereby, the control device 400 can manage the attitude / state of the flying object 200.

  Aircraft controller 300 is a repeater that receives information transmitted from aircraft 200 and relays it to control device 400. Of course, when the relay is not necessary, the flying object controller 300 is not necessary. Therefore, the flying object controller 300 is omitted in the following sequence chart.

  The control device 400 is a server device for accumulating and analyzing data (= results of simulation exercises) from the flying object 200 transferred from the flying object controller 300.

  Next, the overall flow of this shooting training system will be described.

  First, the trainer (simulated firearm operator) 100 confirms the flying object 200 and depresses the IFF start switch of the simulated firearm 101 (step S1001).

  When the IFF activation switch is pressed, the laser transmission unit 101a of the simulated firearm 101 continuously outputs an aiming signal at a predetermined interval (Sig1001).

  Subsequently, when the uncage switch is pressed (step S1001-2), the laser transmission unit 101a of the simulated firearm 101 outputs an uncage signal (Sig1001-2).

  When these aiming signal and uncaging signal are input to the light receiver 201 of the flying object 200, the flight control unit 204 determines that it is locked on (step S1002).

  The determination result of step S1002 is transmitted to the control apparatus 400 via the transmission unit 203 (Sig1002).

  Thereafter, when the trainee 100 presses the launch switch, a launch signal is output from the laser transmission unit 101a.

  When the light receiver 201 receives the emission signal from the laser transmission unit 101a, the flying object control unit 204 notified to that effect performs a hit determination (step S1003). Specifically, if a firing signal is received in a state where it is determined that the lock has been turned on, it is determined that a hit has occurred.

  In the above description, the aiming signal is transmitted at a predetermined interval. However, the aiming signal may always be transmitted.

  The flying object 200 transmits the result of the hit determination to the control device 400 via the transmission unit 203 (Sig 1004). If it is determined as a result of the determination that the vehicle has been hit, the flying object control unit 204 causes the display device 202 to perform a display process (smoke, light emission, sound generation, etc.) (step S1005).

  On the other hand, the control device 400 manages the result of the hit determination transmitted by the Sig 1003 as shooting result information and wear information (step S1006). Further, the shooting result information at this time is transmitted to the simulated firearm 101 of the shooting source (step S1007, Sig1007).

  The simulated firearm 101 that has received the shooting result information from the antenna 101f may display the shooting result in real time on the display unit 101d or the like (step S1008).

  Further, the training result accumulated in the control device 400 may be used for analysis or the like after the training is completed.

  As described above, different signals are transmitted from the simulated firearm to the flying object according to the actual firearm operation procedure (procedure until lock-on and procedure until launch), and lock-on and hit are judged based on the reception result of the signal. Therefore, it is possible to simulate the operation of a firearm having a plurality of operations necessary for launching and to determine the validity thereof.

  In the above description, the aiming signal, the uncaging signal, and the firing signal are different from each other. However, each signal is the same signal, and the number of times corresponding to the lock-on procedure within a predetermined time (in the above example, (2 times) it may be determined that the lock has been turned on when it is received, and it may be determined that it has been hit when the signal is received once within a predetermined time.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a configuration of a shooting training system according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a sequence chart showing the flow of processing of the shooting training system according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

  In the second embodiment, the lock-on determination and the hit determination are processed on the control device 400 side. Therefore, the timer used after the lock-on determination is the same as that used in the control device 400. Further, the signals exchanged with each other change due to these differences.

  Hereinafter, the processing of the present embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIG.

  First, the trainer (simulated firearm operator) 100 confirms the flying object 200 and presses the IFF start switch of the simulated firearm 101 (step S2001).

  When the IFF activation switch is pressed, the laser transmission unit 101a of the simulated firearm 101 continuously outputs an aiming signal at a predetermined interval (Sig2001).

  Subsequently, when the uncage switch is pressed (step S2001-2), the laser transmission unit 101a of the simulated firearm 101 outputs an uncage signal (Sig2001-2).

  When these aiming signal and uncage signal are input to the light receiver 201 of the flying object 200, the flight control unit 204 outputs a lock-on determination instruction signal (Sig2002) instructing the start of the lock-on determination (step S2002). By receiving this lock-on determination instruction signal, the control device 400 starts the lock-on post-processing (step S2003).

  When the lock-on post-processing (step S2003) is started, the control device 400 can receive a hit determination signal described later.

  Thereafter, when the trainee 100 presses the firing switch, the simulated firearm 400 outputs a firing signal (Sig2004) from the laser transmission unit 101a (step S2004).

  When the light receiver 201 of the flying object 200 receives this launch signal, the flying object control unit 204 of the flying object 200 transmits a hit determination instruction (Sig 2005) to the control device 400 (step S2005).

  At this time, it is necessary that the hit determination instruction (Sig 2005) includes all information necessary for processing by the control device 400. That is, the information acquired by the state sensor 101b of the simulated firearm 101, the transmission time of the firing signal (Sig2004), and the like. As described above, attitude information such as the speed, flight direction, and position information acquired by the GPS module 205 is always transmitted from the transmitting unit 203 of the flying object 200 to the control device 400 at a constant cycle. . Therefore, these are not necessary when strict determination is not required. Conversely, when accuracy is required for the determination, it is also necessary to include these in the hit determination instruction (Sig 2005).

  The control device 400 that has received the hit determination instruction (Sig 2005) performs a hit determination (step S2003b).

  Here, even if the laser reaches the flying object 200 from the simulated firearm 101, it is necessary to determine that the shot has not been hit in a situation where the hit cannot be expected in reality. For example, when the guided bullet is “chasing” the flying object 200 and the flying object 200 has a speed higher than or substantially the same as that of the guided bullet, it cannot hit. Further, if the moving direction of the flying object 200 and the firing direction of the guided bullet are orthogonal, the guided bullet follows the flying object 200 and is not clean.

  Therefore, the hit determination of the control device 400 is performed by information (direction) and firearm information (flight speed, flight distance, altitude, etc. uniquely determined from the firearm information) of the state sensor 101b wirelessly transmitted from the simulated firearm 101, and the flying object 200. The direction of the guided bullet assumed to have been fired from the simulated firearm 101 and the flight direction of the flying object 200 are the same direction based on the speed, flight direction, and position information wirelessly transmitted from the aircraft 200, and the flying object 200 is more It is determined whether the flight speed is fast (or almost the same speed).

  Similarly, based on the information of the state sensor 101b and firearm information, the speed, flight direction, and position information of the flying object 200, the firing direction of the guided bullet assumed to be fired from the simulated firearm 101 is orthogonal to the moving direction of the flying object 200. Alternatively, it is determined whether or not they are almost orthogonal.

  The result of the hit determination (step S2003b) is managed in the control device 400 (step S2006), and the determination result is transmitted to the flying object 200 and the simulated firearm 101 (step S2007).

  The aircraft control unit 204 that has received the determination result (SIg2007a) checks whether or not the result is a hit. In the case of a hit, the flying object control unit 204 uses the indicator 202 to perform an external hit indication (step S2008).

  The simulated firearm 101 that has received the determination result (SIg2007b) from the antenna 101f may display the shooting result in real time on the display unit 101d or the like (step S2009).

  With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the load on the aircraft 200 and to unify the processing when there are a plurality of aircraft 200. In addition, there is an advantage that the processing capability can be improved by strengthening only the control device 400 side.

  In the above, there is no data transmission / reception between the flying body 200 and the control device 400 between the lock-on determination (step S2002) and the hit determination instruction (step S2005). However, after the lock-on determination (step S2002), by continuously transferring the intermediate pressing signal (Sig2001n) to the control device 400, the interruption process when the intermediate pressing signal (Sig2001n) can no longer be received is quickly performed. Can be done.

  Further, if the hit determination instruction (Sig 2005) does not come for a long period of time after the start of the lock-on determination post-process (step S2003), it is possible to process that the launch operation cannot be performed. .

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  This embodiment assumes that the hit determination is performed by the control device 400.

  FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of a shooting training system according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

  Also in the present embodiment, the trainer 100 performs the shooting operation of the simulated firearm 101 while confirming the video of the camera 101e on the display unit 101d.

  By performing the shooting operation of the simulated firearm 101, data regarding the state of the simulated firearm 101 detected by the state sensor 101b changes. Data regarding the state of the simulated firearm 101 and position information acquired by the GPS module 101c are transmitted to the control device 400 via the antenna 101f (SigA1).

  In the control apparatus 400, the elevation angle of the simulated firearm is calculated from the data regarding the state of the simulated firearm 101 from the start of the shooting operation. Here, “start of shooting operation” is assumed when the IFF activation switch of the simulated firearm 101 is pressed, but is not limited to this.

  Further, as described above, the attitude information of the flying object 200 is transmitted at a constant cycle.

  From these two pieces of information, the control device 400 determines whether or not the flying object 200 can be correctly followed by the trainer 100.

  The follow-up information is used by the control device 400 at the time of hit determination. That is, if the trainee is not able to follow the flying object 200 before the hit determination, it is processed as not hit.

  If it is determined to be a hit, a display instruction is transmitted to the flying object 200.

(Fourth embodiment)
Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the hit determination is performed by the flying object 200.

  FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a configuration of a shooting training system according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

  Also in the present embodiment, the trainer 100 performs the shooting operation of the simulated firearm 101 while confirming the video of the camera 101e on the display unit 101d.

  When the shooting operation is started, a laser beam is transmitted from the simulated firearm 101 a plurality of times as in the middle press signal Sig1001 in step S1001 of the first embodiment. This transmission may be output at a constant time period as long as the predetermined operation is continued as in step S1001 or may be interlocked with the operation.

  When the flying object 200 receives the laser beam from the simulated firearm 101 a certain number of times, it is determined that it has hit and worn. At this time, it is also possible to use the press signal Sig 1003 as in the first embodiment as the determination start timing.

  As described above, when the determination of wear is made on the aircraft 200 side, the result is sent back to the control device 400.

  As mentioned above, the invention made by the present inventor has been specifically described based on the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Needless to say.
