Description

The invention relates to the field of military equipment, in particular to methods for increasing the effectiveness of firing from tank weapons.

There is a method of increasing the efficiency of hitting targets from a tank gun for a T-80U (T-80UD) tank, when the 1A45 complex is a combination of interacting electron-optical devices and automatic systems designed to more fully automate and increase the efficiency of the processes of preparing and firing from a tank in various conditions of its combat use. The complex provides: search, detection, recognition of targets and tracking them day and night from a stationary tank and in motion; automatic loading of the gun by the selected type of projectile; automatic calculation and input of angles of aiming and lateral lead directly into the angular position of the weapon, taking into account the ballistic characteristics of the projectile, range to the target and deviations of the shooting conditions from normal (see: Technical description and instruction manual for Object 219P. Book Two. M.: Military Publishing House USSR Ministry of Defense, 1986, p. 575 Open publication. Prototype).

The known method of increasing the efficiency of hitting targets from a tank gun allows you to search, detect, identify targets and track them day and night from a stationary tank and in motion; automatic calculation and input of aiming angles and lateral lead directly into the angular position of the weapon, taking into account the ballistic characteristics of the projectile, range to the target and deviations of the shooting conditions from normal. However, this method does not allow an assessment of the power of action of the selected type of ammunition on the target, and also does not take into account the range of effective fire, which leads to a decrease in the probability of the target being hit, increased wear of the gun’s bore, increased ammunition consumption and, as a result, increased gas contamination of the living compartments with powder gases.

The objective of the present invention is to increase the efficiency of firing from a tank gun by automating the process of determining the type of target, selecting a certain type of ammunition as the most effective for hitting a recognized target in these conditions, reducing the consumption of ammunition during firing due to an increase in the probability of hitting a target during the first shot, which leads to to reduce the level of gas contamination of the inhabited compartments by powder gases that appear with the intensive use of a tank gun, as well as wear of the channel of the gun barrel.

The technical solution of the proposed invention is the setting of an additional signal processing unit, a device for determining the type of target, a sensor for determining the type of shot, recognition marks for the type of shot, which automatically detect and take into account the power of various types of shots of a tank gun at a target under given conditions (at different firing ranges).

The technical result of the proposed invention is the comparison of the actual range to the target with the effective firing range of the selected type of ammunition, taking into account the power of this munition against the target, increasing the probability of hitting the target by automating the process, reducing the preparation time of the shot, and also reducing the consumption of ammunition when performing a fire mission.

In this case, a method of increasing the efficiency of hitting targets from a tank gun is based on the fact that, upon the command of the gunner-operator, when a button on the operator’s console is pressed, an additionally installed target type determination device, together with the existing laser range finder, receives a signal to determine the distance to the target and its type tank, infantry fighting vehicle, sheltered shelter, etc.) from which, after determining the specified parameters, a signal is transmitted to the evaluation unit, which analyzes the signals and transfers them to the conveyor drive with ammunition, to which signs of the difference in the types of shots are printed, read out (detected) by a sensor for determining the types of shots, working in conjunction with the conveyor drive. After determining the type of target and the range to it, the evaluation unit, after analyzing the signals (determining the most effective shot for hitting the target under given conditions), sends a command to the conveyor drive, which, rotating the conveyor, displays the shot selected with the shot type detection sensor with a recognition sign of the type of shot to the loading line.

A method of increasing the efficiency of hitting targets from a tank gun, including a set of interacting electron-optical devices and automatic systems that provide search, detection, recognition of targets and tracking them day and night from a stationary tank and in motion; automatic calculation and input of corrections for air temperature, barrel bore wear, atmospheric pressure, crosswind, characterized in that when a button on the operator’s panel is pressed, a signal is transmitted via electric wires to an additionally installed target type determination device, which together with the laser range finder determines the type of target and the range to it, transmit the signal to the signal processing unit, which analyzes the signals and determines the most effective type of shot to hit the target in these conditions, transmit the signal to drive the conveyor, working in conjunction with a sensor for determining the type of shot, select the shot by the recognition mark of the type of shot located on the shot, rotate the conveyor and display the selected type of shot on the loading line.

In FIG. 1 arrows (

) shows the direction of rotation of the conveyor.

When a target is found on the battlefield for its destruction, the gunner-operator presses a button on the operator’s console, a signal is transmitted via electric wires to an additionally installed target type determination device, designed to determine the type of target, for example, by its silhouette, thermal and radar radiation. Using a laser rangefinder determines the distance to the target. Further, after determining the specified parameters, the signals are transmitted to the signal evaluation unit, which is designed to analyze the incoming signals and decide on the type of shot that is most effective for hitting the selected target in these conditions (range). From the signal processing unit, the command (signal) is transmitted to the conveyor drive with shots that bear the marks of the types of shots read out (detected) by the shot type detection sensor that works in conjunction with the conveyor drive. The conveyor rotates, bringing the selected type of shot to the loading line. The whole process of determining the type of target, range to it, the choice of ammunition with its output to the loading line is automated.

An example of the method. When target 1 is found on the battlefield, the gunner-operator presses a button on the operator’s remote control 5, a signal is transmitted via electric wires 4 to an additionally installed device for determining the type of target 2 and the laser range finder 3 determines the distance to target 1. Next, the signals are transmitted to the evaluation unit signals 6 and to drive the conveyor 7. On shots 12 located in the conveyor 8, insignia of the types of shots 11 are indicated, determined by the sensor for determining the types of shot 10, working in conjunction with the drive of the conveyor 7. Conveyor 8 rotates, pin Having selected the type of shot 12 on the loading line 9.

The proposed method allows to automate the process of selecting the type of shot and its output to the loading line, to increase the probability of hitting the target with the first shot, which reduces the ammunition consumption during firing, reduces the level of gas contamination of the occupied compartments with powder gases that appear during heavy use of the tank gun, and also reduces wear gun barrel.
