Abstract

FIELD: military equipment, in particular, devices for training of tank sighters-operators in firing from tanks by guided missiles.

SUBSTANCE: the trainer has a standard guidance system and an information beam of the missile control system; in flight the missile is simulated by an inflammable feedback lamp positioned on the target together with a photodetector. The photodetector is designed for recording the position of the information beam relative to the target center and determining the accuracy of target hitting. The lamp and the photodetector are switched on and of by radio signals supplied from the firing tank. For generation of signals for switching-on of the lamp and photodetector and for their switching-off with due account made for the missile flight time use is made of a computation unit with a time relay and a transmitting radio unit positioned in the tank. The information on the final position of the information beam relative to the target center at the end of the firing cycle is radio transmitted from the target to the control point of the fire control officer for estimation of the fire result.

EFFECT: reduced expenditures on trainings of sighters-operators of tanks in firing of guided missiles and numerical increase of the quantity of such trainings without reduction of their quality.

Description

The invention relates to the field of military equipment, in particular to devices for training gunner-operators of tanks in firing from tanks with guided missiles.

Closest to the present invention is a complex of guided missile weapons actually included in the armament of the T-72 tank (T-72B tank. Technical description and operating instructions - M .: Military Publishing House, 1995, p.66, 67. Open edition. Prototype )

The disadvantage of producing real launches is the high cost of missiles, which are launched during training firing and, as a result, the inability to provide a large number of training in firing missiles for economic reasons.

The problem solved by the invention is the reduction of economic costs for training tank gunner-operators in guided missile firing.

This problem is solved using a standard radio signal generating unit connected to a standard antenna unit and a standard system with a range finder pointing the missile at the target with the information beam of the missile control system due to the fact that a feedback lamp simulating the rocket in flight is ignited on the target, a photodetector designed to record the position of the information beam and determine the accuracy of its hit in the target, and a radio transceiver designed to turn on and off I have a feedback lamp and a photodetector and transmit information about the final position of the axis of the information beam relative to the center of the target to the firing control point, while the tank is equipped with a calculating unit with a time relay connected by the output to the radio signal generation unit and by the input to the range finder of the missile guidance system target.

The invention is illustrated in the drawing. Guided missile guidance simulator, diagram. Where:

1 - a regular sight with a range finder and a missile guidance system on the target;

2 - calculation unit with a time relay;

3 - block forming a radio signal;

4 - a regular antenna unit;

5 - feedback lamp;

6 - information beam missile control system;

7 - photodetector;

8 - transceiver radio block;

9 - firing point control point.

The constituent elements of the simulator are placed partially on the firing tank, and partially on the target. The tank contains: a standard tank sight-rangefinder with an integrated missile guidance system for target 1, to which it is connected in series - a calculation unit with a time relay 2, a control radio signal generation unit 3 and a transmitting antenna unit 4.

On the target, in the center, are placed: a feedback lamp 5 and a photodetector 7, which are similar in design to the lamp and photodetector of a standard rocket. The electrical signals that turn the lamp and photodetector on and off come from block 8, also located on the target, which receives radio signals from the antenna unit of tank 4, and at the end of the firing cycle transmits a control radio signal about the position of the information beam 6 relative to the center of the target to the firing director’s control point 9.

The simulator works as follows: in preparation for launching a guided missile, the gunner charges the gun with an idle charge (instead of a missile and a regular knockout charge) and measures the distance to the target using a range finder located in sight 1. A signal about the measured range is sent to calculation block 2 where, after recalculating the distance to the target at the “flight” time of the rocket, the signal is sent to a time relay. After the idle shot by the gunner-operator, the radio signal generated by block 3 is fed through the standard antenna 4 to the transceiver block 8 to the target, which includes the lamp 5 and the photodetector 7. An illuminated lamp 5, simulating the feedback lamp of a real rocket, the gunner-operator observes in the field sight of its sight and monitors the target, holding the central mark of the sight 1 on the target. Beam 6 is formed in space with the start of shooting and, thanks to its alignment with the central mark of the sight, is also aimed at the target. The photodetector 7, after turning it on, starts to generate an electric signal proportional to the magnitude of the oscillations of the axis of the information beam 6 relative to the center of the target. After the “flight” time has passed, the time relay of block 2 is activated and the signal to turn off the lamp 5 and photodetector 7 is sent through block 3 and antenna 4 to block 8. The deviation of the axis of the information beam 6 from the center of the target, recorded before turning off the photodetector 7, through the transceiver block fed by radio to the control center of the shooting director 9, which allows to assess the degree of accuracy of the axis of the beam 6 hit the target, and this would correspond to the hit in the target of the rocket during its actual launch.

The use of this device reduces the economic costs of training gunner-operators of tanks in guided missile shooting and allows you to numerically increase the number of such trainings during training, without reducing their quality, since the simulator has a high coefficient of similarity to the real combat work of the gunner-operator in the production of guided missile launches from the tank.
