State of the art

Known: "a method of computer monitoring the position of the barrel of a weapon relative to the target and a device for its implementation": RU 2499217 C2, Application: 2011139788/12, 09/29/2011

For a period of time that lasts between the release of the trigger and until the release of the mainspring, the function of monitoring the position of the barrel of the weapon relative to the target is transferred to a device in which the data obtained during the release of the trigger at the moment of fixing the supervisory contact of the trigger and until the resolution command is sent by the processor / computer to the supervisor, compared with the standard / sample. According to the results of the comparison, they give or do not give an authorization command for an automatic shot. The device includes a processor / computer, which also allows you to adjust the brand on the display based on data - distance, weather conditions introduced by the shooter and / or device.

The main disadvantage is the participation as a sniper of a person, with all the ensuing negative circumstances of the “human factor”. The sniper may not “catch” the very position in which the automation will give an authorization command.

Secondly: a sniper can “catch” the targeting position, regarded by the computer as “ideal” by chance, in the process of barrel movement, from (non-ideal) to (non-ideal). The proposed technology for target determination involves fixing the "picture" appropriate (ideal), but does not imply an analysis of whether the gun’s barrel is in motion or stationary at this moment. Thus, if at the moment of accidentally hitting a target, when the barrel moves, an authorization command occurs and the shot is missed, the system misses, because the system does not analyze and does not correct for the movement of the barrel of a sniper gun.

Thirdly: in the proposed technology, the brand correction mechanism is described on (computer display!), On the state of the environment. But the system does not use either equipment or technology, which these amendments automatically make to the setting of the optical sight used by the sniper. That is, the system knows about the new settings, and accordingly it determines the "reference" position of the sight (picture), the operator sees and knows this, but the sniper himself does not know about it, because he is guided in targeting the outdated settings of the optical sight, which means that the ideal position is not will be achieved.

Fourth: in the triggering technology, a logical error is observed leading to equipment failure: if when you pull the trigger with a sniper, the computer does not send an authorization command and waits for the (reference) picture of the target, but the target disappears (for example, it disappears from view altogether), the system becomes blocked, since unlocking the system from an old target, and setting up the system for a new target, is possible only after a real shot at a previously programmed target.

It is not explained how, and by what principles, “reference data” of the goal are formed, because within the framework of the proposed concept this may not be possible.

Known: "complex automatic weapons": RU 2384809 C1, Application: 2008128210/02, 10.07.2008

A set of automatic weapons, containing a machine with moving and fixed parts, a bed for weapons and drives horizontal and vertical guidance.

Neither optics nor other mechanisms for calculating targeting, nor mechanisms for controlling mechanics, nor any other related equipment, nor methods and technology for targeting have been proposed at all. No means of armor protection and camouflage have been proposed. The proposed option of fixing the machine on the basis of a “bipod” type is extremely unstable, which will lead to permanent malfunctions of the targeting settings when returning your own shots, or when enemy bullets hit the body.

Known: "fire control system of several snipers" RU 2498191 C1, Application: 2012111374/12, 05/05/2011

The system includes several individual sniper kits, a mobile repeater kit and a mobile central post kit. Each individual kit, among other things, consists of a sniper alert sensor, a miniature video camera with controlled zoom, a device for remote activation of the striker. According to the second option, the equipment of the central post automatically remotely controls the scope settings of each individual set in accordance with changes in external conditions. The technical result of the invention is to increase the accuracy of hitting targets, the simultaneous defeat of several targets from different firing lines.

The main disadvantage is the participation as a sniper of a person, with all the ensuing negative circumstances of the “human factor”.

To calculate corrections, the exact direction of the shot relative to the azimuth, and the exact angle of the target, are necessary. But the gun is aimed at the target manually, and nothing is used to determine the direction in space, including the gyroscope. The claimed equipment does not have the ability to fix the directions, so it is impossible to calculate corrections for wind and target angle (the most important factors), which makes subsequent calculations for target correction useless.

The purpose of using "remote activation of the striker" for synchronous shots is understandable, but in real combat conditions, for long distances, it is extremely difficult to achieve the stated goal, because it is necessary that in an instant, all sniper people "catch" the ideal more focused, for a relatively long a period of time, but for several snipers, especially in a situation where the targets are moving, it is almost impossible. Deviation from the required ideal targeting of at least one person will make a shot of the whole group impossible or unproductive. And if we take into account that by human efforts to catch a moving target in the ideal direction, it is possible only for a brief moment of time (a sniper "loner" at that moment pulls the trigger), the conditions for the participation of several people, makes the possibility of completing this task, almost unrealistic. Only automation can accomplish such a goal. It is not clear how opertor (s) determine the reliability of a sniper’s readiness for a shot.

Known: "The system of automated control of air defense fire weapons" RU 2218598 C2, Application: 2001128186/09, 10.19.2001.

Creation of a high-performance automated control system for air defense fire weapons, providing maximum speed of information exchange in the interest of increasing the effectiveness of air defense fire weapons.

And the "method of controlling the armament of an anti-aircraft missile-cannon complex" RU 2506523 C1, Application: 2012133163/28, 02/02/2012

... A method of controlling the armament of an anti-aircraft missile-cannon complex mounted in a tower of its hull rotating relative to the vertical axis, including detecting and identifying a target, making a decision to fire and calculating the coordinates of the anticipated point for firing missile and cannon weapons, guiding missile weapons and firing missiles or missiles , evaluation of the results of the shooting and the decision to continue shooting.

Known: "The method of warfare, a remote control shooting system and remotely controlled small arms" RU 2005127 00 A, Application: 2005127400/02, 08/31/2005.

It is: the use of small arms, with a drive of vertical and horizontal movement, with a trigger mechanism, with a video camera and a laser target designator, and aiming control and trigger actuation is carried out remotely using a computer (connected via a communication channel through a control transmitter-receiver device with elements of small arms) and the image obtained from the video camera on the monitor screen, and using a control device, such as a “joystick”.

The disadvantages of this method include the absolute absence of any methods and mechanisms for calculating and using any corrections for calculating ballistics. Since the camera is connected to the weapon body motionlessly, this weapon can shoot efficiently only “IN UPOR”, when corrections for ballistics are unnecessary, which makes it inappropriate to use it.

Also, armor and camouflage protection are not used, which makes equipment that is not hidden and incapable of aimed shooting, extremely vulnerable.

Also, the use of a control device tapa joystick to control drives for moving weapons is extremely ineffective, especially for small (on the monitor) targets, especially for moving targets

In the example, there is completely no software capable of making (accurately and quickly) the necessary ballistic calculations for targeting, and producing the necessary commands for controlling the drives to move the gun in planes, which makes the very fact of using a computer extremely impractical, with extremely low efficiency.

The closest analogue (prototype): Method for remote control of sniper fire, RF №2474782, Application: 2011130436/28, 07/22/2011

Description of the features and disadvantages of the proposed solution.

The invention relates to the remote control of an automatic shooting system. It includes the generation of information about the target by the video system, its subsequent transmission to the control system (by the operator!) By one or more automatic shooting systems, and its further processing (by the operator!) Using the software for the subsequent transmission of the correction parameters directly to one or several shooting installations for making an accurate shot at a target at the command of an operator-shooter. In this case (namely the operator!) Enter the initial parameters for calculating ballistic corrections at the desired distance to the target. Information about the target transmitted to the operator’s control system is processed, though with the help of the program, by the operator himself, personally !, for the purpose of subsequent transmission of the correcting parameters directly to the shooting installations., Characterized in that (the operator, personally!) Introduces the necessary initial parameters to calculate the necessary ballistic corrections.

The distance to the target is determined, inter alia, by using a video camera by obtaining images from it with landmarks to which the range is already known, the axis of sight of which are parallel to the axis with the barrel of the shooting system (which requires direct, one-handed participation in the operator’s vision process, and its mental processing and analysis of visual images, in addition, this technology proposes to determine the distance based on the focal length of the optics, but human vision is not able to distinguish the difference in sharpness of images, so clearly that it can draw adequate conclusions about the distances!) What is "A powerful human factor." The accuracy of such a technology for calculating the distance is extremely small, it is equivalent to calculating the distance "by eye", which is impermissible for the work of a sniper.

At the same time, on duty, the operator (with his own hand!) Through special tables enters the initial parameters into the software: time of day, direction and wind speed, humidity, air and soil temperature, atmospheric pressure, automatically adjusted using an altimeter, barometer and thermometer, altitude, installation parameters and equipment of cartridges, parameters, direction and speed of the target, distance to the target. It is not clear and does not explain why to enter, at the beginning of the shift, environmental data that changes automatically. It is not clear and does not explain why, by the efforts of the operator himself, at the beginning of the shift, to enter the parameters, direction and speed of the target, as well as the distance to it, if the direction and speed of the goals are constantly changing, and to foresee these changes, especially during the shift ( duty) of the operator is impossible!

At the same time, on the basis of the entered parameters, the software corrects the shot using the ballistic calculator, which calculates ballistic coefficients, through the software (namely, the operator personally and personally). That is, with the help of the program, but it is the operator, with his own hand, that manipulates the calculation of the coefficients. That is, the operator (person) is constantly an intermediary between program calculations.

According to the proposed technology, it is the operator with his own hand, taking into account the calculated correction, accurately sets the line of the axis of the barrel to the target for the next shot. The operator (with his own hand) sets the parameters of the target (chest target, running man, motorcyclist, paratrooper, etc.), as well as the approximate speed and direction of movement. It is not clear where this information comes from and how it affects the subsequent process.

The operator, using the built-in laser range finder, enters one of the main parameters into the program - the distance to the target (if entering the distance involves entering some values into the table, then from the moment of measuring the distances to the moment of entering the numbers some time elapses, which automatically does values are obsolete, which means subsequent calculations are inaccurate). In the absence of a laser rangefinder in the installation, the operator can also determine the distance to the target using a video camera. To do this, on the first half of the monitor screen that displays the image of the video camera, the target is determined, and then with the help of the joystick or “mouse” its approximate location on the map of the area displayed on the second half of the monitor is noted.

Firstly, not knowing the real size of the target, as well as the fact that its position on the map will be “approximate,” makes this entire procedure for calculating the distance meaningless, because the final data will be incorrect.

Secondly, in real combat conditions, the proposed (long, laborious) method of manually determining the distance to the target makes it impossible to work on a moving target, because by the time the calculations are completed and the data are entered into the table, the data is outdated.

From the description of the procedure it is not clear exactly who makes the turns of the gun, in the vertical and horizontal planes, the operator or the program. If the operator is using a computer, then errors are inevitable.

In the proposed solution, there is only one video system, which is extremely insufficient for rough terrain, and / or tasks with a large number of goals

Despite the fact that (according to the author of the solution), these manipulations do not require the skills of the operator as a sniper, and are relatively simple, the very participation of a person in this process greatly inhibits the process and introduces a negative human factor.

It is not clear and is not explained how amendments can be made to targeting, for distant targets, if the video system is connected to the gun tightly (Fig. 3), because the fact of ballistic corrections assumes that the longitudinal axis of the optics does not coincide with the longitudinal axis of the gun’s barrel, and the further the target and the stronger the crosswind, the more this mismatch will be.

According to the instructions: when firing at moving and air targets. The operator points the video camera at the target and fixes its coordinates in the program, then after a certain period of time it directs the video camera at the target and also automatically fixes the new coordinates. Based on the coordinates and time differences introduced into the program when fixing the target, the computer calculates the trajectory of the movement and directs the gunner to the target, taking into account the lead and correction of ballistics, and fires a shot through the time interval calculated by the program.

Firstly: if you mean pointing the cursor at a target, putting a point on the operator, a person can miss, at far distances to the target, a miss of a click in a pixel gives an error leading to a miss shot. It is also not clear in which part of the body the cursor is placed.

Secondly: it is not clear what the process means (fixing by coordinate in the program), if necessary by the operator’s efforts, to enter some numbers in some fields, the process is immediately doomed to failure, because the moment of clicking on an object is separated from the moment of entering coordinates , i.e. at the moment of entering the coordinates, the object will have time to move away from the cursor click point, the coordinates will be outdated, the calculations will automatically be erroneous.

Thirdly: the target both at the first click and at the second has a volume (area), even if the cursor is on the target, but at the first and second click different points of the surface of one target are selected, the program will calculate critically erroneous path parameters, which will lead to a miss, the more that you have to click on a moving and relatively small object, and by the standards of human vision, a subjectively insignificant miss in a click will lead to guaranteed incorrect calculations.

Fourth: clicking the cursor on the monitor in the target area will not give the system the exact coordinates of the target, but will only give a relatively accurate direction to the target. For the system to obtain relatively accurate coordinates, it is necessary for the operator to make fundamentally simultaneous clicks on a fundamentally specific target point, presented fundamentally simultaneously on two fundamentally different, spaced apart cameras, that is, two different monitors, two different manipulators (mice), two different hands . Only by comparing the directions from two cameras, the system can theoretically calculate the coordinates. Neither the proposed technology, nor the capabilities of man, are REALLY capable of producing such a manipulation.

Fifth: taking into account that most targets in combat conditions do not move in a straight line and at the same speed, such a primitive way of calculating the trajectory at two points is generally meaningless, because in two coordinates and time, the more so manually entered, it is impossible in principle predict the trajectory of the target.

The proposed technology is not only not worked out practically, it is not thought out theoretically.

A system consisting of one or more guns works with only one operator. If there are more than one targets in a combat mission, and they are moving, one operator-shooter will not be able to cope with the task, especially since the target can be camouflaged and move covertly.

For combat tasks with several targets, relatively many cameras are needed, and the participation of a relatively large number of people (specialists, sometimes in different industries). At least one operator is needed for each firing point, ideally two, so that while one works with the settings, the other visually controls movements on the battlefield, in the field of view of this camera. There is only one control panel, one operator, the inability to attract specialists located remotely, it is even impossible to attract operator assistants located next to the operator.

It is completely not shown how the equipment fixes the angle of the target. I did not provide a mechanism for centering the equipment, gyrocompasses are not used. The proposed set of equipment and technology are unable to calculate the angle of the target.

The proposed principle of comparing freeze frames in order to search for motion is unrealistic, the system will respond to any movement in space, and the same “blurring” will occur to the signals of the system, which the author denies.

The author points out the absence of a (negative) human factor in the project, in terms of the sniper’s professional qualities, but in fact, the operator of this device relies on a lot of actions that are influenced by the human factor, moreover, the proposed operator actions algorithms minimize the quality of the shot, for targets that move indirectly and not evenly, as a result of which the system is generally impossible to orient. The man himself plays a large role in adjustments and settings, which greatly slows down the process, and does not exclude an operator’s error, moreover, the principle and algorithm of manipulations makes the information on moving objects obsolete, which means that the calculations are erroneous. In such a primitive way of calculation it is impossible to work on several goals, with several guns. Taking into account that there is only one operator, for one or more fire calculations, for an unknown number of targets, fire calculations will not be used with adequate efficiency under this principle of use (they will be idle).

A shot is fired only at the command of the operator (person), the system is not able to function automatically.

In a real battle, the proposed equipment option will be ineffective.

The aim of the claimed group of inventions is the creation of a high-performance system of automated control of fire weapons, ensuring maximum speed of information exchange in the interest of increasing the effectiveness of fire weapons in combat conditions. The system is built on the principle: "everything that can be done by a machine must be done by a machine." Human participation is minimized. Which increases speed, accuracy, and reduces errors.

This is achieved by the fact that the invention implements:

1) improving the accuracy and speed of hitting the target and / or goals, for the implementation of which is used:

a) Specially designed and specially installed automatic rifle systems (firing positions) having an accurate optical guidance system.

b) CCTV systems that recognize and accompany targets from different angles, with the help of which the exact direction and exact distance to any target, the exact direction and speed of any target, at any time, from any firing position are calculated. If necessary, drones, satellites are used.

... c) Laser installations for target designation and determination of distances. The use of technologies outside the visible spectrum, allowing to work out goals in conditions of limited visibility.

... d) Diagnostic equipment measuring environmental parameters, and transmitting them to the control center in real time.

e) Special software that constantly (in real time) collects all information from video surveillance systems, from diagnostic sensors of environmental parameters, constantly monitors the location of all targets, all directions and all distances from all firing positions to all targets, constantly calculates and stores in memory, up to date, all the necessary ballistic characteristics of all the ammunition planned for use, from all firing positions, for all purposes. Moreover, the goals are found by the system independently, according to a previously specified algorithm, or are selected by the operator with a simple click.

f) The ability to attract a large number of specialist operators to the process remotely.

g) Different types of ammunition can be used.

2) Camouflage and armor protection equipment.

a) Fire crews and video surveillance systems are protected by an armored cap, the shape and color of which are camouflaged.

b) Along with real fire calculations, “fire calculation simulators” are used, the functioning of which is subordinate to the system. Their goal: distracting attention from real fire calculations, and counteracting the acoustic system of sniper detection

c) in addition to performing the main combat mission, fire calculations are programmed to protect each other, simulators, and elements of diagnostic equipment.

3) the technical and software ability to conduct combat in automatic mode. Previously, the algorithm, tasks and goals of the battle are set by the operator.

Disclosure of the invention:

Group of inventions: Automated combat complex, method of targeting firing calculation, method of combat in automated and automatic modes.

Combat complex: a complex of mechanisms, equipment, systems, devices, instruments working automatically and automatically, functionally connected together, the purpose of which is to carry out combat missions. Programming control and management of the complex can occur remotely.

Depending on the task, goals and circumstances, the principle of completing the system and its preparation may be different, the standard version of the configuration of preparation and conduct of the battle is described below.

1. The acquisition of the combat complex (Fig)

1.1. Fire crew "OR" (equipment, figure), a set of equipment systems and mechanisms that perform a joint function to implement the actual fire shooting, then "fire crew". Fire calculation consists of:

a) a rifle element, actually a gun, it is hereinafter referred to as the “gun”, which performs the function of firing ammunition.

b) an optical guidance system, an analogue of an optical sight, hereinafter referred to as “gun optics”, ... c) a frame and guide system, then a “machine” on which the gun is mounted

d) The reload mechanism, aka “store”, aka “ammunition cartridge”, further “cartridge”

d) a local control unit, with elements of wired and wireless communication with the central control unit and other elements of the complex

e) armored frame, it is also a camouflage element

g) energy supply system

h) elements of camouflage (camouflage) fire calculation: controlled smoke screen

One combat complex can be equipped with several fire crews, but all fire crews are combined by command from one control center. Nevertheless, all fire crews have their own (local) control center that allows you to operate in automatic (independent) mode, in case of loss of communication with the main center.

Fire calculations are made (assembled) in the factory, and taken out to the place of tasks in a finished or partially disassembled form. Both the machine tool and the armor-piercing frame have their own, automated elements of orientation in space, and hard fixation to the ground.

If possible, fire crews are set up in such a way as to be able, in addition to performing the main combat mission, to protect themselves, each other, the "simulator" and diagnostic equipment.

1.1.1 Gun (Rifle element). This is exactly the component of the fire crew that shoots ammunition. Similarly: sniper rifle, grenade launcher, mortar, rocket, etc. One firing calculation can be completed simultaneously with different types of guns, or each type of weapon is equipped as a separate firing calculation. One gun can be equipped with two or more barrels (a multi-barrel gun), for ammunition of different calibers, or for automatic replacement when overheating, or for replacement for automatic cleaning of the barrel, or for automatic replacement when jammed. When choosing ammunition of a different caliber or for another purpose (tracer, armor-piercing, incendiary, etc.), the system automatically and instantly makes an adjustment for targeting taking into account the different ballistics of the selected cartridges. The tool has an element to check and clarify the orientation (level) in space, if due to overloads, earthquakes (near explosion) or subsidence of the ground there was a shift in orientation in the coordinate system, the level fixes the shift, and instructs the mobile system of the machine to center the position of the tool. The gun for the purpose of visual coverage (visual control) of the combat mission zone, and targeting can be oriented in any horizontal and vertical directions.

1.1.2. Optics guns, performs the function of an optical sight. It is a camcorder with digital output, auto iris, autofocus and controlled zoom.

In one embodiment, the optics are adjustable-movably attached to the gun. In this case, all targeting corrections are implemented through motor drives that change the direction of the optics axis relative to the axis of the gun barrel.

According to the second embodiment, the optics body is connected motionlessly (monolithically) with the gun body, but the internal optical elements of the optical sight (lenses, prisms and mirrors) can be moved by means of special drives, changing the axis of the beam along which the aiming takes place, in the desired direction. In this case, the axis of the aiming beam deviates from the axis of the gun as well as in the first embodiment, the axis of the entire optics deviated. In this case, the instrument about optics are made together (in one piece) and are not separable from each other.

The camera has high-resolution optics, a variable viewing angle, and in shooting mode, the camera adjusts a narrow viewing angle focused on a target with high resolution, and in standby and surveillance mode, the camera adjusts a wide viewing angle to observe a large space of a combat mission, with the center on purpose, and to monitor different goals, partially fulfilling the same function as the video surveillance system. The optics of the guns is involved in the video recording of the battlefield along with other video surveillance systems.

Each instrument, complete with optics, has a laser designator, and a laser distance detector. Several optical and non-optical targeting systems that operate in different emission spectra including PC, UV, night vision sights, ultrasound, etc., duplicating each other, can be applied to one gun.

The video surveillance system is formed and operates in such a way that allows the fire crew to function even with the loss of some elements of the video surveillance system. And even if absolutely all guidance elements fail, including the gun’s own optics. Fire is carried out according to the coordinates previously stored in the system (previously selected target points on stationary objects).

1.1.3. The gun is rigidly fixed, installed on the "machine" (frame system and guides). The machine with the help of electric and electro-hydraulic drives of vertical and horizontal guidance, orientes the tool and the optics of the tool. The machine bed and the movable mechanisms of the orientation of the guns are guaranteed to be resistant to overloads associated with recoil during firing, and vibrations associated with reloading. The machine is rigidly (monolithically) fixed to the ground (tracked base), the method of fixing the machine guarantees the stability of the system to any loads. The movement (drive) of the machine guiding the gun, and the optics, are subordinated automatically to the actions of the operator (remotely) or automatically according to the specified combat program. In the event of a close explosion, if the machine does not ininitially change its position in space (which will lead to a shift of the gun), the system automatically reconfigures and centers itself on the new coordinates of the supporting elements of the machine. The optics of the gun is automatically movable connected to the gun, the automation of the optics configuration obeys commands from the control panel and the program. For accurate orientation in the space of the guns, special equipment is used, including a gyroscope.

The gun of fire calculation does not touch the armor cap. The tool on the machine and the armored cap are attached to the ground with individual fastening elements. Thus, the vibration of the armor protection is not transmitted to the gun, in order to reduce interference in the process of targeting.

1.1.4. Cartridge of ammunition. Designed for storage of ammunition and automatic supply of ammunition to the gun. If a gun uses only one type of ammunition during a combat mission, a “single cartridge” is used, it contains only one type of ammunition. If a weapon uses several different types of ammunition during a combat mission, a “multi-view cartridge” is used, it contains several different cells in which different types of ammunition are stored. The operation of the cartridge is controlled by the program, the choice of the type of ammunition is subordinated automatically to the operator, or automatically by the battle program. The mechanism of the cartridge can be upgraded with an additional mechanism for recharging the cartridge, to plan a long battle, requiring a large number of ammunition.

1.1.5. The local control unit (LBU), an analogue of the computer system unit, resistant to mechanical damage, controls the entire fire calculation mechanics, wired and / or wirelessly connects the fire calculation with the central control unit (through it with the operator’s control panel), and with a video surveillance system and diagnostic equipment directly. When the firing calculation is connected with the central control unit, its actions are completely subordinated to the central control unit, but if there is a break in communication with the center, the local unit takes control of the firing calculation in full automatic mode. To do this, at the preliminary stages of setting up the combat complex, an individual task of firing calculation is prescribed for automatic execution, in case it is disconnected from the control center. This program is stored and operates through a local control unit.

1.1.6. The armor-protective (camouflage) frame, it is also the armor frame, it is also camouflage: the fire calculation protection system from detection and damage. (fig ...).

1.1.6.1 The purpose of this item of equipment is to make fire calculation as inconspicuous as possible, and as much as possible protected from defeat by various means of military equipment. Depending on the place and time of the year, different carcass options are used, which can be disguised as cliffs, boulders, terrain bumps, architectural elements, transportation, etc.

1.1.6.2. If there is time and opportunity to prepare, fire calculation can be dug into the ground. If it is impossible to prepare fire calculations, they can be installed on the ground, or mounted on self-propelled tracked platforms.

1.1.6.3. As a rule, nests (openings in the frame) for a tool with optics can automatically open and close, in order to camouflage and protect against bullets. Nests are opened only at the moment of specifying guidance of the gun with its own optics and firing (preliminary guidance occurs, with the nest closed, at the coordinates from the control center, without visual contact of the gun’s optics with the target).

When the firing crew has not yet been unmasked, the nest is open so that the gun’s own optics will constantly participate in the preparation and conduct of the battle. But when the fire crew is already unmasked, at the moment when the system does not shoot, but prepares for firing, it is completely covered by armor, that is, the nest is tightly closed by the armored shutter, which opens only before the shot. The system’s preliminary aiming of the gun at the target occurs “blindly”, according to the coordinates that are transmitted to the system from the video surveillance system, even before the armor is opened, and these coordinates have already been adjusted for the distance to the target, corrections for the target’s movement, wind and other factors. After opening the flap of the nest, in a split second, the targeting of the gun’s own optics is specified, and a shot is produced that refines guidance on its own optics (1-2 seconds) and the shot. If the shots are single after the shot closure with armor.

The mechanics of the armored flaps opening the hole are arranged in such a way that they allow the gun to navigate in any directions, while at the same time it is guaranteed to cover with the armor the internal space of the fire crew from enemy shots.

1.1.6.4. For the purpose of masking the fire calculation, a smoke screen (active camouflage elements) is used; for this, house bombs are digged in from different sides of the fire calculation, with the automatic principle of switching on and off, they can be masked as burning tires. Depending on the direction of the wind, the necessary smoke bomb is switched on, smoke closes the fire calculation with the nest, minimizing the risk of an enemy shooting into the nest. At the same time, the targeting of fire calculation is due to the video surveillance system, which is not camouflaged by smoke and controls the battlefield.

1.1.6.5. To solve problems in urban conditions, for example, in anti-terrorist operations, fire calculation can be camouflaged for an object that is natural for the city, for example, a car, scooter, food basket, suitcase, cardboard box, fencing elements, etc. Wheel-containing objects are also means of delivery of fire calculation per position. The mogul fire calculations created in a certain way can be temporarily integrated into such vehicles as buses, trolleybuses, trams, etc. Elements of clothing, uniforms, equipment can serve as surveillance cameras of the system, for example, a bag, a baton, a cap, a holster, a gun, etc.

1.1.6.6. A separate type of fire calculation is fire calculation mounted on an armor-piercing self-propelled tracked platform (mobile, armor-piercing fire calculation (MBOR) of a fig). This type of equipment is masked as much as possible, and is as armored as possible. It is used in a combat mission, including for the purpose of diverting the enemy’s attention from masked fire crews, and in situations when it is imperative to change the location of the fire crew, including moving to places difficult to access from other angles. They themselves have full combat equipment, various types of weapons, including grenade launchers and rockets. They are introduced into the combat mission, as a rule, after the reconnaissance of the terrain by the video system is carried out, and camouflaged fire calculations will guarantee the protection of the mobile tracked platform from enemy grenade launchers. MBOR are connected wirelessly into a common control system. In connection with mobility, this calculation is equipped with specific methods of orientation in space, using the technology of gyroscopes and GLONASS.

1.1.7. Power supply system. All movable elements of fire calculation and the control unit are powered by electricity. The power supply for the fire calculation is summed up with a cable. In addition, the system has batteries in case of interruption in the power supply from the cable. In addition, there is an emergency power generator, which automatically starts to work when there is a need for electricity. Manufacturing techniques and principles of generator placement meet the requirements of maximum masking.

1.1.8. Active elements of camouflage (camouflage) fire calculation. As an option: active smoke bombs placed on different sides of the fire crew turn on and off automatically at the signal of the operator, or automatically according to a given program. At that moment, when a fire crew has already been detected and targeted fire is being conducted on it, it is fundamentally important at the time of opening the nest to minimize the risk of a shot through the nest entering the fire crew. To do this, by the time the nest for the shot is opened, this area is smoky, while the gun’s targeting is based on the gun’s heat-vision sight, and the coordinates of the video surveillance system, the elements of which are not smoky and clearly fix the space of the combat mission. In addition to smoke technology, the calculation nest can be camouflaged by a bunch of grass, a tree trunk, a branch with foliage, etc.

1.2. Simulator of fire calculation (IOR), hereinafter referred to as the "simulator" or IOR. Outwardly similar to fire calculation. Functionally designed to “relatively noticeable” simulate shots. In the simulator installed: visual simulator imitating the light of shots; sound simulator imitating the sound of shots; a smoke simulator (steam) can be installed simulating the release of powder gases or sniper breathing. It is allowed to use simulators not covered by armor, in this case relatively mobile models of sniper crew figures are used. The simulator is wired or wirelessly connected to the central control unit and to the fire crew.

Depending on the circumstances, if it is impossible to hide the shot, a fraction of a second before the main gun’s shot, the system includes simulating a shot on the simulator. The sound and light of the simulator is slightly stronger than the sound and light of the main fire crew, in order to shift the attention of the enemy to the simulator. For the period of conducting (hidden phase) of the battle, when the activity of the firing position has not yet been identified, with the possibility of using silent shots, and in the daytime (light and noisy) time of the day, simulators are ready, but not used. Simulators begin to be used when the battle from the hidden phase goes into the open.

If the simulator’s communication with the central control ceases, but the connection with fire calculation does not cease, the local fire calculation control unit controls the simulator’s activities, masking its own shots. If the simulator loses touch with all elements of the combat complex, it begins to work independently, according to a predefined program for such cases. For this purpose, the simulator has its own control unit.

The fire calculation simulator is actively used in the process of counteracting acoustic systems for detecting a sniper position. The presence of several synchronous supersonic waves and several acoustic fronts creates the impossibility of their temporary comparison and subsequent mathematical analysis of the data.

1.3. Video Surveillance Systems aka ground based video surveillance (NRV). The most camouflaged cameras, with digital output, auto iris, autofocus and controlled zoom, are automatically and automatically movable (drives for movements in all directions), which are able to capture and measure linear and angular distances in different, visible and invisible spectra, for which different types of equipment for visual and non-visual control in different spectra of visible and invisible radiation .. Laser systems for determining distance and direction are built into the system. The number of cameras is determined depending on the capabilities and expediency. The mounting locations of the cameras, and their number, are determined by the terrain and combat mission. All CCTV systems are wired and wirelessly connected in the central control unit. Along with monocular video surveillance systems, binocular video systems can be used to more accurately determine directions and distances.

1.3.1. The video surveillance system uses all available, according to the latest technology, types of radiation, including: the entire visible spectrum; IR; UV pairing with a night vision system; tint systems for night vision; sensors fixing sources of electromagnetic radiation, including electrical equipment, including cell phones; Search sensors for active night vision systems (adversary). The thermal imaging sight is used not only for targeting at night, but also for targeting through a smoke screen. Each video surveillance system, complete with optics, has a laser target designator, and a laser distance detector

1.3.2. The objectives of the video surveillance system: a) building a virtual ZD map of the area (landscape), including the determination of all actual distances and angles; b) the centering of all elements of the combat complex; c) target search; d) target recognition; e) target capture; e) tracking the target; g) participation in the preliminary (rough) aiming of the gun at the target by transmitting the exact coordinates of the target to the fire crew.

1.3.3. In the implementation of the objectives of the video surveillance system, its own optics of the guns also participate, if this does not threaten the security of the fire crew itself.

1.3.4. The system records, recognizes, remembers and reports to the operator all the facts of recording activity, movement (in any range), on the basis of which an activity map is created, which is used in the planning and implementation of the battle.

1.3.5. Video monitoring equipment can be installed not only on the ground, but also on other objects, buildings, trees, power lines. They can be pre-installed manually, or with the help of drones, or with the help of specially trained dogs. The video surveillance system can be installed on the drone in flight status. If possible and advisable, a satellite video surveillance system can be used.

1.3.6. The equipment of the video surveillance system is made as invisible as possible, camouflaged as efficiently as possible, armor protection equipment is used.

1.3.7. Equipment and sensors for calculating distances (including laser technology): a) are built into the optical guidance system of shooting systems, b) are built into the equipment of video surveillance systems, c) the distance is also calculated mathematically according to the angular direction indicators from different cameras, d) if possible and expedient, a satellite navigation reference, refined glonass (GPS) is used

1.3.8. If possible and expedient, a visual photo and video scanning of the terrain from a satellite, from drones, or other unmanned aerial vehicles of “scouts” can be connected to the system.

1.4. The determinants of the direction and strength of the wind, they are also the "wind sensor", they are also called "wind meters": a type of diagnostic equipment, equipment that every second fixes the direction and strength of the wind, transmitting information to the control center by wire or wireless, in real time. Based on this information, the control center makes adjustments for the wind during targeting. Vetrometers also have a direct connection with fire calculation, if the connection between fire calculation and the control center disappears, and fire calculation begins to execute an automatic combat program, the local control center uses the parameters of the windmeter to correct targeting downwind.

1.4.1. In case of communication failure with the windmeter, and if possible, natural wind markers, moving elements of the landscape, such as trees, falling leaves, wires, grass, are used. The approximate determination of wind by landscape elements is programmed. This is used only if the fire crew disconnects not only with the control center, but also with wind meters.

1.4.2. A number of windometers can be installed. They are maximally disguised. They can be installed not only on the ground, but also (depending on the mechanism of work) on other objects, buildings, trees, power lines. They can be pre-installed manually, either by casting, or by using drones, or by using specially trained dogs. If possible and feasible, indicators from the hydromet center service can be used.

1.5. Other diagnostic sensors, they are also diagnostic equipment (DO), have wired and / or wireless communication with the control center and with fire calculation.

1.5.1. In real time mode, information is sent to the control center, on the basis of which the program makes adjustments for targeting. If the connection between the fire crew and the center is broken, the data is transferred directly to the fire crew, the local control unit of which makes all the necessary corrections for targeting.

1.5.2. The following diagnostic equipment is distinguished:

1.5.2.1. atmospheric pressure meter

1.5.2.2. humidity measuring device

1.5.2.3. thermometer

1.5.3. Depending on the circumstances, these sensors can be combined in one equipment. They can be installed several pieces. They can be installed not only on the ground, but also (depending on the mechanism of work) on other objects, buildings, trees, power lines. They can be pre-installed manually, or by casting, or by using a drone, or by using specially trained dogs. If possible and feasible, indicators from the hydromet center service can be used. It is appreciated that the parameters on the ground, or near the ground, may differ from the parameters above the ground.

1.6. Central control unit (CBU): based on the computer system unit, suitable for working in the field. Wired and / or wireless, the central control unit is connected to all elements of the combat complex. It contains hardware and / or software elements of the summation blocks, ballistic computers.

1.6.1. A special program (software) is installed on the central unit designed to operate the entire combat complex. Part of the functionality of this program is duplicated at local fire control control centers, for the functioning of targeting mechanics, and for controlling the functioning of combat crews in automatic mode.

1.6.2. functions of the central unit (CBU):

a) collects information from all elements of the combat complex;

c) monitors the mechanism of centering elements;

d) builds and records (saves) a virtual ZD model of the real terrain of the territory of the combat mission, in real time, in the current state;

e) collects parameters about distances and the state of the environment, from a video surveillance system and all other diagnostic sensors;

e) a combat mission is formed through the control panel, goals are determined

g) the tasks of calculations in the automatic battle mode are recorded on the local fire control control units in case of interruption of the calculation connection with the central control unit.

h) Since a stable communication with all elements of the combat complex is extremely important for the central control unit, it is in relative proximity, but in a sheltered position, and at a safe distance from the battle. For communication with elements of the combat complex, wired and various wireless technologies are used. In turn, the central control unit can establish communication with any point of the globe through satellite communications. Thus, to observe the battle, and manage the battle, it will be possible from anywhere in the world. The limitation will be only the quality and speed of communication.

1.7. System software (software). Installed on the central control unit, local control units (fire calculations), operator control panel, remote operator control panel.

An individual interface is being prepared for different equipment and for different functions. On computers used as remote controllers, a software element for controllers is preinstalled. In order to be able to quickly organize remote control centers on computers without a preinstalled program, a browser-based interface is used.

1.8. Operator control panel, it is also a control point (PU). The operator’s workplace through which a person works with the system, with all elements of the combat complex. Initially, all the necessary functions, tools and interfaces are programmed into the software (software) of the complex. High-quality and high-speed communication of the control panel with the central control unit (CBU) is of fundamental importance, therefore, the control panel is connected by wire and wireless methods to the central bank.

There are several types of control panels:

1.8.1. The control panel (stationary) (SPU) consists of several monitors with a keyboard, a “mouse” and other (manipulators) controls. The number of monitors and controls depends on the completion of the combat complex, and the characteristics of the combat mission. It is located in close proximity to the CBU servers, has a wired connection. As a rule, they are in the same room, on one wheelbase. The control panel can be divided into two or more, the number of operators depends on the acquisition of the combat complex, and the characteristics of the combat mission. Some operators (specialists, instructors, consultants) can work remotely through satellite communication systems.

1.8.2. The system (software) has the ability to connect any number of control panels based on a laptop, tablet, smartphone, with a wireless communication method. Such a control panel is called a “mobile control panel” (MPU). For this, interfaces with simplified functionality are used. Used when the operator needs to control what is happening on the battlefield with his own eyes. In this case, the operator with mobile equipment is advanced on the battlefield, and on the spot controls the process, or participates in the process.

1.8.3. If not only the combat complex but also people take part in the combat mission, they can be equipped with MPU like a smartphone, with a certain set of functions, using which they can see the situation on the battlefield from the outside, use all video surveillance systems, see targets controlled by the system , if necessary, make adjustments to the operation of the system, indicate goals that are invisible to the CCTV system, and adjust (control) the fire of fire calculations. Thanks to special beacons, which are recorded by the video surveillance system even at night, and the exact position by GPS, the system recognizes employees as “their own”, selects targets with the status of “alien” from targets with the status of “their”, and prohibits shooting at targets with the status of “their” . Moreover, when the system sees that the “alien” goal is approaching the “own” goal, the system warns the CBU itself (the “own” goal). Moreover, one of the tasks of automatic functioning of the system may be the task of: shooting at a target (someone else's), if it approaches a predetermined distance from the target (one's own).

1.8.4. Fighters (not snipers that move mobile in the combat zone) participating in the process of completing a combat mission can be equipped with 3D glasses that perform a role similar to a control panel. Showing the surrounding space in the form of a virtual projection created by the system, in real time, with fixing all the goals and elements of the environment, with the designation of their parameters.

1.8.5. The system allows the use of wireless (eg satellite) communication to organize any number of control panels anywhere in the world. In this case, the control panel will be called “remote control panel” (UPU)

1.8.6. For any type of control panel, instead of a monitor, 3D glasses with a glove can be used.

1.9. Power supply system.

All mobile mechanisms of the combat complex operate on electric and hydroelectric drives. As a rule, the central and main power supply comes from the center, from the place where the central control unit is installed. To connect to the center, a multicore wire is used that performs both functions, and electronic communication of peripheral equipment with the center, and supply of peripheral equipment with electricity.

Each peripheral equipment operating from a central power supply has a battery, from which the equipment automatically switches over in the event of a power outage. Equipment with increased electricity consumption, such as fire calculation, in addition to the battery has an electric generator (EG). At the stage of preparation for battle (observation), the fire calculation system works on the battery, after the start of the active phase, the start of firing, the electric generator is turned on. The manufacturing technology of the electric generator and its installation location is selected taking into account the maximum visual and sound masking.

Some options for peripheral equipment, such as diagnostic sensors that are thrown or delivered to the point by a drone, do not have a wired connection, and operate on batteries. For them, the use of solar cells is also possible.

If possible, and if appropriate, all elements of the complex are interconnected by power lines, with the aim of duplication of sources of power supply, in case of cable break.

1.10. Not mandatory, but possible, is the participation in the work of a complex of snipers (people), a kind of human fire crew, aka “sniper crew” (CP). At the same time, there is a constant exchange of information between snipers with equipment and the combat complex system.

Each sniper (and assistant) has a mobile control panel that allows the sniper to use all the cameras in the system, with the possibility of verbal contact with the operator. And if necessary, coordinate their activities with the actions of automated fire calculation. If necessary, take on the functions of an operator.

If the sniper equipment used involves manual adjustment of targeting corrections, all the necessary parameters for corrections, the sniper receives through this control panel. If the sniper equipment used allows you to make corrections automatically, the ballistic computer remotely controls the amendment mechanism when the system automatically generates control signals for the micromotors of the corrections mechanism for sights, for this purpose the sniper equipment is connected and coordinated with the central control unit, in part with ballistic calculation modules and modules of diagnostic indicators. At the same time, automatic adjustment is carried out constantly, during the entire time of the operation.

A device for electromechanical activation of the striker is introduced into the design of the trigger mechanism of the rifle, and a sensor of readiness for the shooter is mounted on the trigger.

The image and the optical sight and binoculars (if used) are projected, in real time, in the central control unit. The rifle’s optical sight contains: a laser target designator module, the housing of which is mechanically connected to the optical sight correction mechanism and whose optical axis is aligned with the optical axis of the sight; camcorder with digital output, auto iris, autofocus and controlled zoom.

Radio facilities are used to verbally exchange sniper information with the operator.

In this case, the exact coordinates of the sniper (GLONASS) are loaded into the system, and the cameras of the video surveillance system with fire calculations monitor the position of the sniper in order to protect him from fire and approach the enemy.

The design of the trigger mechanism, in particular its connection with the central control unit, allows snipers to use fire calculation simulators for their own camouflage.

The acquisition of snipers in connection with the presented system may correspond to the invention of the Russian Federation No. 2498191.

2. Installation, preparation and commissioning of the combat complex

2.1. - installation of complex equipment

2.1.1. Setting fire calculation, one or more. Adjustment of digital communication with the control center and adjustment of power supply. The machine tool and the firefighting protection frame are fixed to the soil firmly, separately, that is, the internal mechanisms of the fire calculation do not touch the frame elements (except for options on self-propelled platforms). Fire crews are placed in such a way that they can protect each other and simulators with fire.

Depending on the presence (absence) of time and ability to prepare, on the features of the terrain, on the characteristics of the combat mission, fire calculation can be:

2.1.1.1. The fire crew is buried in the ground (FIG.). When there is enough time for preparation, when there is no enemy or other connoisseurs on the territory of the future battle. As a rule, it is placed on the path of the advancing enemy, on the path of the retreating enemy, on the approach to the protected object (territory). A pit is dug up, fire calculation is established, it is filled up with earth and laid with turf. The upper movable part (tower with a loophole) disguises itself as an element of the landscape.

2.1.1.2. Fire calculation is set to ground (FIG.). In situations where there is not enough time to dig in the fire crew, or it can not be done covertly. In this case, the firing calculation covered by armor protection is made externally for an element of the landscape, for example, a pile of land or garbage or bricks, or part of a dilapidated wall of a building.

2.1.1.3. The firing crew is installed on a self-propelled caterpillar platform (MBOR) (Fig ...), while the firing crew itself is not masked, but can go to the firing position at any time during the battle. In this case, the technology of centering and targeting is different (different from the described standard).

2.1.2. installation of camouflage smoke bombs (camouflage). Their purpose: if necessary, smoke fire calculation. Adjustment of digital communication of camouflators with a control center, with fire calculation, and adjustment of power supply.

2.1.3. installation of simulators of fire calculations of IOR (one or more). Simulators should be in the field of fire of real fire calculations. To prevent approaching the enemy simulator. The enemy can know about the presence of a simulator, but he should not know that this is a simulator, for this he can not be allowed close. Adjustment of digital communication of simulators with a control center, with fire calculation, and adjustment of power supply.

2.1.4. installation of ground-based calculations of a video surveillance system (NRV) for visual control (in all spectra available to the modern level of technology: visible, infrared, ultraviolet, ultrasonic scanning, night vision systems, color systems for night vision, etc.) including sources of electromagnetic radiation . Adjustment of digital communication of cameras of a video surveillance system with a control center, with fire calculation, and adjustment of power supply.

2.1.5. Installation of windometers, equipment fixing the direction and speed of the wind. It is pre-installed manually, either with the help of quadraptors, or by means of “casting”, or with the help of dogs. The equipment measures and automatically transmits the direction and speed parameters to the calculation system.

In case it is not possible to install a wind meter, using a special program through a video surveillance system, natural wind landmarks (trees, freely hanging objects) are recorded, if possible (supposedly a natural landmark) can be specially suspended before or during the battle, for example, a rope, with beacons at the ends. Certain parameters are set for an approximate determination of the direction and strength of the wind. Throughout the battle, the video surveillance system captures the movement of selected objects, on the basis of which it draws conclusions about the estimated direction and strength of the wind, using these parameters for targeting.

In case of impossibility of wind direction and speed, a diagnostic shot is made, with video recording of inconsistency between the aiming point and the point of impact, with automatic and instant calculation of aiming corrections. The same thing happens with every combat shot, (if the deviation is more natural dispersion).

In the case of installing equipment (wind meters) in advance, setting up digital communication of wind meters with the control center, with fire calculation, and setting up power supply.

2.1.6. Installation of other diagnostic equipment, fixing and transmitting to the calculation system, in real time: a) atmospheric pressure, b) air temperature, c) air humidity. If it is possible to pre-install the equipment, setting up digital communication with the control center, with fire calculation, and setting up power supply. If it is impossible to pre-install, the equipment can be placed by “throwing”, delivery to the place of the drone, a trained dog, etc. In this case, battery-powered and wireless equipment is used.

2.1.7. Installation of the central control unit (computer with program (software)). System unit (server) with installed special software. As a rule, it is installed at a distance safe from the place of the combat mission. It is usually installed on a wheelbase (mobile).

As a rule, the central control unit is aligned with the operator control panel, while the control panel is wired to the central control unit, in which case the control panel is stationary.

Each fire equipment (gun, rifle) has its own (local, built-in) software unit, which includes and implements the combat program in automatic mode, in case of loss of communication with the central unit.

2.1.8. Installation and installation of stationary control panel (s). Configure mobile and remote control panels.

Depending on the number of fire crews in the complex, on the number and quality of targets, and also depending on other features of the combat mission (for example, the presence of hostages or civilians in the combat mission zone), two or more people can perform the function of operators, while for each the operator is equipped with a separate workplace (control panel), while the functionality of the combat mission is divided between the operators in a certain way.

2.1.9. The device sets up and checks the connection between all elements of the complex, both wired and wireless.

2.1.10. Installation, configuration and verification of power supply. Installation, configuration and testing of batteries and generators.

2.2. - Building a virtual, digital copy of the real space by the system, with the exact definition and fixing of exact distances and coordinates.

Centering of all elements of the system and the environment to the coordinates (spatial model). Each element of the system (shooting equipment, video surveillance system, elements for diagnosing the state of the environment) has an accurate geo-positioning sensor and receives exact coordinates in a virtual copy of real space. For accurate positioning, an analysis of the angular distances of the video surveillance system (including its own optics of weapons), distance measurement using laser and infrasound technologies, and, if possible and feasible, updated GLONASS geolocation (GPS) are also used. Based on these coordinates, guidance directions, distances to targets, and corrections for possible air flows associated with terrain folds (taking into account the direction and speed of the wind) will be calculated. Preliminary “scanning” of the surrounding space, calculation and refinement of all distances using fixed landmarks, formation and refinement of (dimensional) parameters of the virtual spatial ZD model of a real area.

Centering the targeting of all fire calculations, if possible and expedient, the production of diagnostic shots.

2.3. Preparation for programming combat missions. The operator determines the status of individual elements of space: a) motionless - folds of the terrain, land landscape, b) relatively motionless - trees, buildings, c) relatively mobile - vehicles in a stationary state, d) mobile - people, animals. The need for the nuances of this procedure is determined depending on the goals and conditions of the task. The operator refines the parameters that the system could not automatically produce. The system learns to recognize terrain elements and traffic patterns. The program is tested (checked) for the adequacy of recognition by the program of goals, movements, tasks. The operator checks, if necessary corrects.

2.4. - Programming by the operator (s) of combat missions

2.4.1. setting up technical conditions and task parameters, introduction of preliminary goals:

... a) The selection of target points on stationary objects (automatic fixing of distances and angles, calculation and preservation of targeting parameters. These can be: power supply elements, communication equipment elements, lighting sources, storage facilities for the cargo (fuel tanks), window openings, doorways , enemy fire calculations (if identified), etc.

... b) the tasks of tracking and capturing moving targets, the exclusion of types of targets, for example animals or people with special beacons (a moving target of “own, do not shoot” status).

... c) selection of the aiming point on moving objects (for objects of the human figure type, a specific part of the body is selected, for objects of the car type, the necessary point is selected on the ZD projection, for example, the point in front of the driver’s seat (location of the driver’s body), the area in front of the seat next to the driver , location of the fuel tank, wheels, engine, etc. From the moment the point is selected and until the end of the task, the program monitors the location (coordinates) of the selected points, and if necessary (by signal) is ready to point the weapon at these points.

2.4.2. Programming the main parameters of the future battle (combat mission). The algorithm of the system’s action (program) is determined during the performance of a combat mission, taking into account terrain features, mission features, number of operators, expediency of attracting remote operators, etc.

2.4.2.1. search capture, target tracking, team waiting. If the video surveillance system allows you to find, determine, capture, identify a moving target yourself, the operator either does not intervene or simply controls (checks). If the program’s capabilities do not allow to identify and “capture” the target, this procedure is carried out by the operator.

2.4.2.2. the choice of the shot command method, at the operator’s command, or automatically, entering conditions for the automatic shot, for example:

... a) reference to time; b) binding to a condition or action (for example: turning lights on or off; moving something about an object in a certain direction; reaching a certain speed with a target or another object; reaching a certain distance or pest with a target or other object; with certain diagnostic parameters, for example wind; at a certain position of objects of the status “own”, etc.

2.4.2.3. prioritization for purposes, for example, first of all, those that are closer or farther from some point, or whose direction and speed of movement is certain, or the place of occurrence of which is certain (for example, fire calculation or doorway). Etc.

2.4.2.4. the conditions are set under which the system starts to work in automatic mode, or stops working in automatic mode.

2.4.2.5. A task is programmed for each firing calculation in case of interruption in the calculation connection with the CBU. This program is recorded on the internal fire crew control unit.

2.5. To program the parameters of the future battle, to program the battle in automatic mode, and to conduct the battle itself, depending on the circumstances, a large number of specialists (operators) from different areas of knowledge may be needed; for this, remote control panels are used.

3. After installing and configuring the system, selecting preliminary goals, selecting a functioning program for the automatic mode, and before starting the task initiated by the operator, the system is in an active standby state. In this state, the system sees everything, tracks all targets, collects all the diagnostic information, makes all the target correction for all goals, “waits” for the team to start the combat mission.

All changeable parameters are transferred not only to the central control unit, but also to the internal control units of the fire crew, and there they are stored in case of a break in communication with the center.

3.1. Both in a state of active waiting and in a state of completing a combat mission, the system collects, analyzes, and stores in the current state all the necessary information to correct the guidance of each specific shooting equipment used by a specific type of ammunition for each specific target object:

a) distance to the target,

b) the speed and direction of movement of the target (for moving targets),

c) angular (vertical) values of the aiming line (elevation angles of the target), angles and directions (horizontal) relative to the axis of rotation of the earth, if it is advisable to use this moment of rotation

d) ballistic characteristics of the charge, including the direction of the trunk “derivation” cutting. Moreover, if for the subsequent battle it is assumed to use ammunition of different quality and purpose, the system calculates corrections for targeting parameters taking into account ballistic data of all types of ammunition ready for use.

e) the direction and speed of the wind, and in places where the supposed trajectories lie near large objects, for example mountains, rocks, buildings, the program automatically corrects for changes in air flows relative to obstacles. If it is not possible to measure real parameters, the direction and speed of the prevailing wind in this area are used.

f) atmospheric pressure (degeneracy of density (discharge, air viscosity)

g) air temperature, and the presence of an open reservoir under the assumed trajectory of the shot is taken into account.

h) humidity

i) fixing the firing points of the enemy, including at night, in order to determine the exact location of the firing positions of the enemy. Maintaining statistics on the functioning of enemy fire calculations. Based on statistics, identifying the nature and principles of enemy use of these places for shooting. Development of proposals for the use of analysis results in order to carry out a combat mission.

3.2. Observing the movement of goals, the program remembers the preferred ways of movement (possible expensive paths), the places in which the goals appear and disappear (possible entrances to shelters, dugouts), considers the possible number of goals.

4. Fighting by the operator (s), in an automated mode.

The operator (s) is usually located in a safe place, on the monitors of the control panel the operator can see the picture from any surveillance cameras, including from his own optics of guns.

You can also see on a schematic (virtually) plan all objects monitored by the system, including those invisible in the visible spectrum. The selection of objects available for firing is different from objects inaccessible for firing. In turn, the objects for which targeting is calculated (subject to amendments for all parameters) are distinguished by the selection from the objects for which targeting parameters have not yet been calculated.

The number of control panels is organized by the number of operators. For each operator, the scope of its functional tasks and competencies is determined.

If you omit the nuances of the presets (simplified, schematic).

4.1. An object (target) is selected, highlighted by the manipulator.

4.2 for this selected target, the shot parameter is selected:

a) A shot can be fired immediately, by clicking the manipulator (computer mouse, keys, or others), if targeting has already been made for this purpose. The system monitors the result of the shot, according to previously programmed parameters, if necessary, the system suggests making a second shot. Moreover, a setting can be made in which a second shot is made immediately, automatically, if the task is not visually confirmed. Taking into account the speed of the system, targeting takes place in a split second as soon as an object becomes available for observation.

b) if the object is “captured”, but only by one camera and not its own optics of the gun, but for targeting this is not enough (to calculate the exact coordinates of the speed and trajectory of movement, capture with at least two cameras is necessary), for this purpose the shot is programmed at the time of targeting. After that, the operator’s attention can be shifted to other tasks. The system itself monitors the target, and as soon as there is enough information to make accurate calculations (for example, the object falls into the field of view of the second camera) and the necessary calculations are made for targeting, the system will launch a shot, trace the result, duplicate the shot if necessary, and signal to the operator.

c) an automatic shot can be programmed, appearing for all targets in a certain place, for example, a doorway of a building or a window opening, or a shot at a target approaching a certain point at a certain distance, for example, at targets approaching a doorway of a building.

c) A shot for selected targets can be planned for a time parameter, for example, a shot at the exact time.

d) a shot at a target can be tied to an event unrelated to this goal, but which the system can record, for example, at the moment of turning on or off some kind of lighting, in some place, or the beginning or end of movement of some object, for example a car.

d) the shot can be tied to the speed of the target, for example, at a time when the speed of the target will exceed or reduce any given

f) the shot is tied to the features of the trajectory of the target (s), for example, firing a shot only at that moment, and to that target when the trajectory of all targets is such that the probability that the targets will see (notice) the shot (flash) of the fire calculation is minimal (even if you use a theme with simulators). With this calculation, you can program all shots for all targets.

g) the shot can be tied to the circumstances of a favorable trajectory for the target, i.e. only at that moment when the target is stationary, or moves not across the line of sight, but along it

h) a shot can be tied to circumstances related to several objectives, for example, to start shots only when all the planned number of targets are in the field of reach of the shot, and taking into account that the number of fire calculations will be less than the number of targets, priority in the sequence is set starting with those goals that make it easier and faster to leave the firing zone, for example, those appearing in a window or doorway located next to a natural or artificial shelter, and only then are targets located in open areas located relatively far from shelters. All necessary calculations for this can be done by the system independently.

4.3. The results of each shot are analyzed by the system, if the hit point does not coincide with the aiming point (taking into account the phenomenon of natural expansion), this can be caused, for example, by a change in the wind of non-fixed diagnostics, the system automatically and instantly makes corrections for targeting. These amendments are statistically analyzed by the system; a set of recommendations on calculations and trajectories is developed. If the results are defined as statistically significant, the system uses them automatically, or prompts the operator to enable their automatic use.

4.4. if fighters participate in a combat mission, provided that the system cannot identify as a target (one's own) or target (another's), then the system is NOT programmed for firing in automatic mode. The system only works in automated mode, when the operator clicks on the shot only when he personally visually verified that the target belongs to (someone else's).

4.5. In order for the system to recognize "their", special beacons are used in uniforms, which emit special radiation, which is recorded by the video surveillance system. The same process can be duplicated using accurate GPS navigation.

4.6. when using military intelligence forces, at the stage of preparation for battle, by the efforts of scouts, on especially valuable enemy objects (vehicles, communication and power supply equipment centers, fuel storage areas, etc.), special beacons can be installed for accurate targeting, in conditions of zero visibility. The same can be done with elements of clothing and equipment of the enemy.

5. Fighting in automatic mode. In this case, we mean the conduct of the battle by the system, when the communication of the system with the control center is completely interrupted, and the operators cannot influence the operation of the complex as a whole or its individual elements.

5.1. Programming the system to work in automatic mode occurs at the stage of preparation for the task. Programs for automatic operation can be prepared (prescribed) in advance, and installed on local fire control units in advance, before they are installed and configured.

5.2. For each specific case, a specific program is used. If there is no necessary in the program catalog for the new conditions, the program is prepared for these conditions. Any ready-made program can be modified, its elements can be removed or added.

5.3. The tasks of the components of the program can be:

a) shooting at any moving target

b) shooting at a target whose growth exceeds specified parameters

c) firing at a target on which steel elements are fixed, such as: weapons; body armor; hard hat etc.

d) target shooting in a certain type of clothing

e) firing at any targets approaching the firing crew, or the firing crew simulator, or to diagnostic equipment (including wind meters), etc.

5.4. The use of the combat complex, including its automatic operation, does not exclude the participation of snipers in the process.

5.5. special attention is paid to the fulfillment of a combat mission, a combat complex, together with manpower. Fighters must have the equipment on them that allows the system to identify them as (“their own” target), otherwise, when the connection with the control center is disconnected, the combat crews cease to fulfill the combat mission, i.e. the battle in automatic mode is NOT conducted, except for fire protection from targets approaching the fire crews themselves, fire crew simulators, diagnostic equipment and power generators. To disable the system in manual mode, a special algorithm of actions has been developed, which is kept secret.
