An automated training complex for training ship crews is known, containing automated workplaces of operators with a set of training and operating simulators, a training management post, a computationally modular complex and a data exchange system, a unit for entering a training program and displaying information, a power supply (application of the Russian Federation No. 2003122814 , published 20.01.2005). This training complex is designed to develop the skills and abilities required in the real conditions of ship operators, incl. and radar operator.

A training system is known that contains a workstation with one or more computing means for controlling radar stations, one or more network servers, each of which is connected to one or more workstations (RF patent No. 7229, publ. 16.07.1998).

The simulator 2 has a two-channel structure and is a complex that includes an electronic computer (computer) with radar interfaces and a ground-based radar interrogator (NRZ) (not shown) and related software. The simulator software contains an external database consisting of four modules: a terrain map input module, a map and weather conditions preparation module, an information exchange module, and a real-time module. The terrain map input module provides the formation of a raster digital terrain map from map files and a matrix of heights. The module for preparing maps and meteorological conditions provides the formation of readings of the complex envelope of echo signals from the earth's surface and meteorological formations. In this case, the first and second outputs of the simulator are connected to the first and second inputs of the noise protection device (IPD) 11, which are the inputs of the main (O channel) and compensation channel (interference P channel), respectively. To synchronize the operation of the simulator, the first output of the CCD 11 is connected to the first input of the simulator, which is the input of the target synchronization signal (signal 0 Yes), and the second output is connected to the second input of the simulator, which is the input of the intermediate frequency signal (F _op ). The third output of the simulator is connected to the first input of the control and information processing device (CDU) 12, which is the input of the identification channel signal (signal NAP-beginning of the azimuth packet), and the third input is connected to the output of the CCD 12 and is the input of the synchronization signal of the ground-based radar interrogator (NRZ) (signal 0D18).

Computer simulator 2, computer 5 workstation instructor 4, switch 19 are interconnected by an Ethernet network. At the same time, the simulator computer and the SEVM 5 are interconnected via the TCP/IP data transfer protocol. The packet data cable is connected to the simulator computer through the LAN-1 port.

The exchange of information between the receiving unit 3, the computer 5 of the instructor's workstation 4, the computer 13, the first rack 11 (UPZ) is carried out via the bus of the main parallel interface 22.

The exchange of information between the simulator and the receiving unit is carried out using buffered signals of the digital data bus 25, combined by the signals of the main parallel interface 22 and the information channel about the noise level 23.

The exchange of information between the SEVM 5 and the second rack 12 (UOU) about the parameters of the point of standing of the product is carried out using a multiplex information exchange channel (MCIO).

The noise protection device 11, the control and information processing device 12, the receiving unit 3 are connected by an information channel about the level of interference 23.

The first and second racks 11, 12 are interconnected by an information channel about the target level 24.

Voice communication between the operator ARMO 14 and the instructor ARMI 4 is carried out using communication equipment 20 and switch 19, interconnected by a telephone wire.

Distribution of power supply to the equipment of the simulator occurs through the power board 21, containing circuit breakers.

In the integrated training mode, the training simulator is connected via the Ethernet network through the switch 19 through the network adapter to the server of the instructor of the ADMC CP simulator instructor, the voice communication with which is also provided through the communication equipment 20.

The simulator works as follows.

After the initial start-up of the product, the on-board computer 13 performs test control and adjustment of some devices, as well as collecting information about the status of devices that are not covered by test checks, according to the algorithms of the pre-combat operation control program (CFP).

The control results for each item of the CFP list are displayed on the screen of the video monitor 17 ARMO 14. After that, the computer proceeds to the implementation of regular review work programs. In the work programs of the regular review, current control is included, implemented both in the hardware and in the computer.

In combat mode (BR), the results of the current control with a negative result are displayed on the screen of the video monitor 17 ARMO 14 in the form of a drop-down board indicating the failed or faulty device.

The TTC (technical status display) of the video monitor 18 ARMO 14 displays information about the technical condition of all devices based on the results of control, both at initial start-up and during the operation of the station and is a mnemonic diagram of the radar structure. TTS is the main element for displaying control information when turned on stations.

Functional control (FC) can be performed with automatic (FCA) or manual (FCR) control to include one or another test.

The FKA is activated by the operator on command from the "menu" of commands CONTROL AUTO and provides for the sequential inclusion of tests and automatic evaluation of the control results for each test with the results displayed on the screen of the video monitor 17.

FKR ensures the inclusion of a specific test from a set of tests provided in the "menu" of the operator's commands.

The control results are displayed on the screen of the video monitor 17 ARMO. The evaluation of the monitoring results is carried out by the operator visually for compliance with the following technical characteristics of the radar: automatic linkage and tracking of the target track, throughput of the secondary processing algorithm, reception and processing of information from the NRZ, identification of radar information from the radar and NRZ. Upon successful completion of the FC, the results are broadcast to the instructor's workplace 4.

The instructor of the simulator selects models of air raids taking into account the tasks that the operator must work out during the training process, and also enters the coordinates of the standing point and the directional angle, which are transmitted to ARMO 14 via MKIO and displayed on video monitor 17. Each model is assigned its own number, indicating which , the instructor starts the SOC calculation training in accordance with this task. Processing this file, the software of the SEVM 5 workstation of the instructor 4 generates information about the air situation, transmits it to the simulator 2 via the Ethernet network and visualizes it in parallel on the display module 6 of the SEVM 5.

Simulator 2 starts automatically after the operator turns on the product. In case of successful establishment of a connection over the Ethernet network, interaction is implemented according to the established protocol.

The simulator 2 software consists of four modules: a terrain map input module, a map and weather preparation module, an information exchange module, and a real-time module.

The terrain map input module provides the formation of a raster digital terrain map from map files and a matrix of heights.

The module for preparing maps and meteorological conditions provides the formation of readings of the complex envelope of echo signals from the earth's surface and meteorological formations. The module starts working when it receives a message containing the coordinates of the standing points via the Ethernet network from the computer 5. At the same time, an array of readings of the echo signal from the earth's surface, as well as an echo signal from meteorological formations, is formed from the raster map of the area.

The formation of an echo signal from meteorological formations occurs when scanning the radiation pattern in elevation. In this case, for each angular position, several realizations of the echo signal from meteorological formations with superimposed complex envelopes of probing pulses are calculated. The resulting array of readings is saved to a file and used in the real-time module to simulate reflections from meteorological formations.

The intermediate frequency F _op formed in the CPA 11 is transmitted to the simulator 2, where, in real time, in accordance with the input information stream received from the ARMY 4, the input echo signals through the main and interference channels enter the CPA 11. Further converted into a digital echo code - signals on the information channel 23 about the level of interference of the product and the information channel 24 about the level of the target enter the UOU 12 device, where they are processed and transmitted to the ARMY 4 and the simulator 2. The bus of the main parallel interface 22 serves to exchange words of the internal codegrams between the CPD 11, UOU 12, BEVM 13, ARMY 4 and receiving unit 3.

The operator on ARMO 14 monitors the air and interference situation. Using the keyboard 15 or the manipulator of graphic information 16 selects the required rate of review in the menu depending on the task being performed, enables (disables) anti-jamming procedures, controls the zone of automatic data acquisition of the radar and LRZ, broadcasts radar information to the instructor.

When the instructor selects the integrated mode of operation simulator, the post of training management is transferred to the workplace of the instructor of the ADMC integrated training simulator. The exchange of information about the serviceability of the SOC simulator and the integrated training simulator comes in the form of messages to ARMY 4. After that, the instructor of the SOC simulator signals that the calculation of the SOC simulator is ready for training. From the position of the instructor of the complex simulator, the coordinates of the standing point and the reference point are received, after displaying them on ARMO 14, tasks for training the calculation of the SOC are launched, which are transmitted via ARMY 4 via Ethernet to the simulator 2. The format of tasks from the position of the instructor of the complex simulator is similar to the format of tasks in in the offline mode of training the calculation of the SOC and the entire algorithm for further work repeats the algorithm for working offline. The workplace of the instructor of the integrated training simulator serves as an external consumer of information (command post).

Thus, the advantage of the proposed simulator lies in the fact that its design is as close as possible to the design of the SOC combat vehicle, namely, the operator (first) compartment of the SOC product, where the crew is located. The use of combat equipment in the simulator, the combat program included in the software that is used during the operation of the SOC combat product, makes it possible to create training conditions close to the conditions for the combat use of the SOC.

The present invention is industrially applicable, because can be made using known means and technologies.
