Description

The inventive utility model relates to educational and training facilities and is intended to provide the crew members of submarines with the knowledge and skills needed to manage technical means: general ship systems, survivability control systems, remote and local control systems. This device allows the crew to conduct technical training in the management of technical means in the standard mode of operation and in emergency situations.

The role of the human factor in ensuring the successful functioning of complex, man-made technical systems is truly enormous. First of all, this applies to specialists whose professional activity is related to ensuring the safety of navigation of sea vessels. This is especially true for submarine crews (submarines). We consider it appropriate to quote the words of Hero of the Soviet Union M. Gadzhiev, who said, "Nowhere is there and never will be such equality in the face of death as that of the crew of a submarine, where everyone either wins or dies."

From the professional knowledge and experience of the crew members of submarines involved in the management of general ship systems (ACS), including their skills, abilities and level of practical skills in monitoring the living conditions of ship compartments, in managing these systems from the central post of a ship commander or shift engineer, mechanics, with the help of the watch service of the shut-off control systems of the ACS, holding the boat when firing strategic missiles, the safety of the crew and the ability to save the ship depend to a large extent. Proceeding from this, the presence of professional skills, knowledge and abilities to act in case of emergencies is of particular importance to the crew.

The catastrophes of the Kursk and Komsomolets submarines, as well as the poisoning of people by chladone in the submarine compartment during factory tests of a BARS submarine, showed not only the inability of the crew members, but also their ignorance of the ACS management instructions for the liquidation of accidents, which were approved By order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, No. 999 of July 22, 2010

The basis for the preparation of calculations for submarines and surface ships during their development of the tasks of traffic control, the struggle for survivability of the crew and the elimination of accidents is, first of all, ensuring a high level of training of the intellectual skills of the people who are in their composition and solving these problems. For this purpose, as a rule, training means are used that allow reproducing the real conditions that may arise on the ship when controlling the maneuvering of the ship, immersion and ascent, including the struggle for its survivability.

A number of simulators are known, intended for group and / or individual training of maintenance and operational personnel of various systems both for developing skills in servicing, troubleshooting and repairing radio equipment and control systems equipment, and for controlling the movement of vehicles, including the fight for their survivability. So, for example, descriptions of devices are given in the following applications for inventions and utility models:

- "The simulator of operators of electronic equipment", application No. 94031190/11 of 08/18/1994, is intended to train operators in troubleshooting electronic equipment;

- “The simulator of the collective control system operators”, application No. 98105472/28 of 03.16.1998, is intended to assess and monitor the progress of individual and collective simulator training for students to perform decision-making functions by control system operators only in typical situations of its functioning in real time;

- “Virtual helicopter simulator” and “Virtual pilot simulator”, applications No. 98100617/28 of 01/09/1998 and No. 2006131472/28 of 04/04/2006, respectively, consisting of real jobs for pilots, simulators of powerplant models, flight dynamics of the corresponding aircraft and means of virtual representation of flight, designed to increase the efficiency of their training;

- “A simulator for learning to drive a vehicle”, application No. 96107644/28 of 04/12/1996, including similar hardware and software, is also designed to develop the skills of a driver of a vehicle.

Known marine intelligent simulator (RF patent No. 2251157, etc. 29.01.2003., Publ. 04/27/2005), intended for training, training and advanced training of skippers. It contains workstations of trainees (RMI), a simulation block, a block of the supervisor of training (RO), a block for evaluating the actions of the trainee, a block of program control, blocks of characteristics of the vessel and the external environment, virtual reality tools, a block for documenting training results, a block for the model of the student, adaptation the training program for a specific user and an intelligent interface that provides support for the interaction of the learner and the RO with other blocks of the simulator. The results of decision-making by trainees and the work of simulation models are compared using an automatic system.

Known simulator for the struggle for survivability (USSR patent No. 1389178, publ. 07.27.1999). It contains a floating compartment housing with simulators of ship damage, steering wheels with drives, electrically connected to the pitching control unit. The simulator is characterized in that in order to expand the functionality it is equipped with water blowers installed on the compartment body perpendicular to the axial line of the steering wheels, and a water flow sensor for ship damage simulators, while the water blowers and water flow sensor are electrically connected to the pump control unit.

The disadvantages of the above simulators include the fact that they provide training for specialists of only one purpose, have a high cost due to the need to produce models of the student’s real workplace, and require significant operating costs.

The well-known "Automated simulator complex for training crews of ships" (RF patent No. 2234138 pr. 21.07.2003, publ. 10.08.2004), which is designed to form the skills, abilities and abilities necessary in the real conditions of activity of ship operators. The complex contains a set of a training-operating model of an automated workstation installed on a swinging platform, a set of automated operator places, a PO post, a computer-modeling complex and a data exchange system, while all elements of the complex are interconnected via a local network. The disadvantages of this complex is that it can provide training only for the crews of submarines of the old generation, and also requires significant costs for its maintenance.

A well-known training complex for the training of crews (RF patent No. 2340950, pr. 06/18/2007, publ. 10/12/2008), which is designed to ensure that members of the crew develop skills in servicing general ship systems and contains at least one RMO in the form of a ship's ship post systems, instructor workstation, data exchange system and software environment. RMO includes a simulator of a standard functional device of a ship system, a simulator of a standard device for interacting with general ship systems, a simulator of a standard power distribution device, a simulator of a standard control panel of a functional device, as well as an additional set of modules with malfunctions of the functional elements of the ship system. The workplace of the instructor based on a PC with peripherals is connected to a data exchange system consisting of controllers, a multiplex channel for information exchange of the Manchester 2 type, and a relay signal module. The data exchange system via the command-type interface is connected to the RMO for multichannel transmission of signals from the start automation, the ship’s information-control system and the navigation complex. The student performs a situational task at the RMO with the elimination of real malfunctions of the elements of the ship system, the result is displayed on the monitor of the ship’s control panel and evaluated according to the criteria for the success of the training. The disadvantage of the proposed complex is that it only provides inculcation of skills to operators according to the rules for servicing ACS, since this device does not provide for changes in the state of the submarine depending on the actions of the student.

A well-known training complex for training crews of ships (RF patent No. 2346337 pr. 06/18/2007, publ. 02/10/2009), which contains the instructor's workplace (RMI) and a set of RMO. The PCU RMI system unit is connected to the PC system units of each RMI through a command line concentrator of communication lines. The control panel of each RMO has a data input device for completing tasks, an electromechanical-type lock for protection against unauthorized access, and monitors for displaying tasks and solutions that are connected to the PC system unit by the user interface. The PC system unit is connected to the power switching unit and uninterruptible power supply, which ensures its operation when the network is disconnected while maintaining the software environment, and also implements an emergency situation at the RMO by a signal from the RMI. The software environment includes a multimedia simulator of a ship control system for the movement of moving objects and associated ship systems, software, and a database of situational tasks. Tasks are sent to the monitors and control panels RMO, which are made in the form of simulators of the control panel of the operator of the shipboard control system for moving objects with two monitors and a data input device. The technical result consists in increasing the reliability of the operation and the degree of protection against unauthorized access, as well as increasing the reliability of the simulation of control processes of a real system. The disadvantage of this simulator is that it is intended only for training operators to control the movement of the ship, but not for training the entire crew for the maintenance and management of ACS in normal and emergency modes.

A well-known automated training complex of a vehicle (utility model patent No. 77994, pr. May 30, 2008, published on November 10, 2008), which relates to simulators with a simulated view from a vehicle, is arranged according to the principle of distributed computing and can be used as a training for personnel submarines and surface ships, and for personnel of other vehicles. The simulator contains a set of on-board equipment, a configurator, and an instructor block, a database block, a vehicle system modeling block, a vehicle behavior modeling block, a simulator of task tasks, and visualization tools interconnected through a router. The task to be solved is the creation for each student of a visual environment adequate to the real one and formed taking into account the specific task being worked out and the location of the student on the simulator, which is an imitation of his real location on the ship. For this purpose, a manual control unit, a dynamic environmental modeling unit, a tactical environment modeling unit, and a visual model tuning module are introduced into the simulator. Visualization tools are made in the form of a set of blocks of visual models according to the number of trainees, each of which consists of a set of visual presentation modules of a fixed viewing sector and visual presentation modules of a fixed viewing sector. The disadvantage of this simulator is that it solves the problems of training a limited circle of persons of crews of submarine and surface ships.

A common disadvantage of the above listed analogues of the proposed simulator is that they all do not have the hardware and software that provide training analysis, the absence of which dramatically reduces the didactic properties of the simulators.

The closest analogue in technical essence of the proposed simulator is a unified multifunctional flight simulator (RF patent No. 2087037 pr 28.06.1994, publ. 10.08.1997), which contains a computer system, unified RMI, a complex of unified RMI with the number of jobs equal to the number of students in the instructor’s flight group, a collective use screen, flight information input device, a database of training scenarios, a database of training results. Each unified RMO contains a student display module and a student training module; unified RMI contains a display module of the instructor and a module for conducting paired training; the computing system contains software modules for the implementation of training scenarios, objective control of the learner and objective control of the instructor. The disadvantage of the closest analogue is the lack in this device of the ability to parse classes, which, in turn, reduces its didactic properties.

The inventive device in the framework of this application for a utility model is intended to improve the quality of training of ACS submarine operators at all stages of their preparation (gaining knowledge on the construction of ACS and their control systems, practical training to consolidate knowledge, simulator training to develop skills in managing them) , including the crew as a whole, both in the maintenance and management of ACS under normal conditions, and in the struggle for the survivability of the crew and submarines in the event of emergencies of various types.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that the simulator complex proposed as a device includes a missile defense system, which includes an RMI, a database server, a collective information display system (SOICP), as well as a set of standardized workstations for students. At the same time, the database server (DB) contains the following databases: database of software modules for ACS models, motion model of submarines, database of emergency development models, environmental characteristics (excitement, flow, water density, etc.), database of actions of trainees, database of results training sessions, DB modules of training analysis, DB modules of tools for creating training programs (DB), modules DB of data preparation tools for practical exercises or trainings for training students with skills and skills in managing ACS in normal and emergency situations. OP are intended for conducting training sessions on the study of ACS devices and their management systems in the form of lectures, practical exercises, tests and exams; training sessions can be carried out under the guidance of an instructor or in self-training mode.

The unified workstations of trainees (URMO) are interconnected through software and hardware of the local computer network with RMI, including the switch of the local computer network (provides communication between the workplaces of the students and the post of the training manual). At the same time, the URMO provides an imitation of the workplaces of the operators of the central and shut-off control posts in the following composition:

- the workplace of the operator of the central control station ACS;

- workplace of the operator of the traffic control panel;

- workplace of the operator of the control panel of the stabilization system;

Figure 5 presents the structural diagram of the database server simulator. It contains: a computing device (21) with the database management system software loaded in it, a network adapter (22), an electronic database of model software modules for various types and projects of submarines (ACS models, motion models, models of automatic control systems, development models emergency situations: fire, seawater intake, rudder spell, failure of electrical equipment, deterioration of radiation and chemical conditions, steam pipe rupture, high pressure air system damage, ammunition accident etc.) (23), an electronic database containing images and related animation models of shut-off schemes of ship systems (24), a database of training results (25), a database of registration data for trainees (26), a database of academic performance (27) , a database of training scenarios (28), a database of training programs (29), data files for recording the actions of students during the training (30) in real time, designed to parse classes with the ability to provide jumps back and forth, also carried out in the mode re total time (31).

Figure 6 presents the structural diagram of SOIKP. It contains a video projector (32) and a shared screen (33).

The proposed device operates in three modes - the mode of developing training programs and training scenarios, the mode of conducting classes and the mode of parsing classes; in this case, before choosing the mode of use of the hardware and software of the simulator, its operability is checked using standard operating system procedures. The choice of mode and control of the simulator is carried out by the head of training (instructor) from the workplace of the instructor (11), which is part of the ABM.

After the development of the OP and its description (purpose, structure, etc.), as well as its data, are recorded in the database (29). When developing training scenarios, the instructor either develops a new training session or corrects a previously developed scenario, the data of which is in the database (28). The training scenario is determined, first of all, by its goals and fulfilled tasks. If the training is intended for the autonomous training of submarine compartment operators, then in the training scenario it is necessary to provide for the connection of the program modules of the models with modules for simulating the actions of the operators of other compartments, if such a connection exists, and communication with the module for simulating the actions of the operators of the central post. If the training of the crew as a whole or part of the crew is being developed, then the scenario should determine the configuration of the simulator's workstations, the time of occurrence, the type and place of occurrence of the accidents, while the workplace of the operator of the central post is required. After the development of the scenario, data about it is recorded in the database (27).

In the training mode with RMI (11), before the start of the training, the workable technical means of the simulator are determined and, if the technical means are workable, the trainees are registered using the database of trainees (25), after which the training is prepared. To do this, the instructor downloads the training from the server (12) and the database (22) to the PC (3) the workplaces of the trainees (2) software modules of the console models of the regular workstations of the ACS operators of a given submarine type, the corresponding programs simulating the change of state of these systems and modules simulation of submarine behavior in accordance with the actions of trained shutoff control systems. After that, the electronic data of the training scenario is loaded at the time the training begins from the database (28) of the server (12) in the PC (14) of the RMI workstation (11) and, if correction of the loaded script in the PC (14) is necessary, it is carried out by the instructor from your workplace (11), otherwise the lesson is started.

During the training in real time, information about the current state of the ACS from the PC (14) is transmitted to the PC (3) URMO (2) and displayed on their monitors. If the time has come for the beginning of the development of the accident, in accordance with the plan of the training, or information about the accident is entered upon a command with the RMI, then the corresponding information that contains the characteristics of the equipment failure or accident is transmitted to the URMO using LAN means. Based on the received PC information (3), using the appropriate information display programs, determined by the type of workstation of the compartment operator, the student, in order to work out the training task, changes the state of the equipment displayed in the form of diagrams on the display modules (5, 6) of his workplace .

Based on the information displayed on the URMO personal computer monitors, the content and type of which is determined by the type of workplace from the crew of the submarines, the trainees prepare proposals for the ship commander to organize emergency response activities or report on the status of the equipment and, using a microphone, report on their actions .

At the same time, trainees in the positions of a watch engineer-mechanical engineer, watch officer of a central post, including watch bow and aft compartments, in accordance with their job descriptions, monitor the condition of submarine machines and mechanisms and, in the event of water entering the submarine or a fire, announce an emergency alarm turn on the navigation lights, report on what happened to the duty officer on the submarine and proceed to liquidate the accident or when a roll occurs, the trim of the submarine reports about it to the duty on the submarine and so on. These actions of the student are recorded in the registration files of the personal computer (3) of the corresponding workplace of the student (2). At the same time, these records are tied to real time. This information will be used in training parsing mode. The training process can be interrupted by the training instructor from his workplace (11) and in this case, the training instructor can return the lesson a certain time ago or make a leap forward.

After the training with RMI is completed (11), information on the course of the training session, the training scenario and its changes during the training, as well as registration data of the student’s actions are combined and entered into the server database (29) (12). In the classroom analysis mode, the training instructor from his workplace (11) downloads from the database (30) of the server (12) the necessary data of the corresponding lesson to carry out its analysis and provides loading to the workplaces of students, in accordance with their regular assignment, tied to real-time data, includes a video projector (32); This ensures the transfer of image monitors (16, 17) to the video projector (32) SOIKP (13). In the parsing mode, the keyboard and the mouse-type manipulator of the PC (3) are locked on each URMO. The information displayed on the PCM monitors (5, 6) of the URMO and on the monitors (16, 17) of the RMI (11) is tied to the real time of the lesson being analyzed. In the occupation parsing mode, the RO can stop the occupation being disassembled, go back a set time, or jump forward. The proposed scheme for conducting class analysis allows the RO to explain to the trainees their mistakes.

As a result of the implementation of the proposed simulator, the training of submarine crews is brought as close as possible to the real conditions of their work on the ship, which will sufficiently provide its intellectual and practical training in fulfilling the tasks of controlling the ACS and fighting for survivability.
