The essence of the utility model is illustrated using the drawings, where:

figure 1 presents the structural diagram;

figure 2 presents the workplace of the gunner;

figure 3 - the workplace of the commander;

figure 4 - the workplace of the instructor.

The simulator contains RMN 1, RMN 2, RMN 3 and AIC 4.

RMN 1 contains a control unit 5, simulators 6 of a sight-range finder and a sight-understudy, 7 drives of vertical guidance, 8 drives of horizontal guidance, 9 remote control gunner, 10 remote control gunner, 11 thermal imaging sight, video viewing device 12, simulators 13 tower stopper, 14 azimuth indicator, intercom device 15 and seat 16.

RMK 2 contains a control unit 17, simulators 18 of a ballistic computer, 19 commander’s console, 20 commander’s control panel, 21 commander’s sight, 22 anti-aircraft sight and 23 manhole stopper, video inspection device 12, intercom device 15 and seat 16.

RMI 3 includes a communication device 15 and a hardware-software complex including calculators 24 for controlling the learning process, 25 for imaging an aiming rangefinder, 26 for forming an image of an aiming doubler, 27 for forming a thermal imaging image, 28 for forming an image of the commander’s sight, 29 for imaging an anti-aircraft sight. The computer 24 for controlling the learning process consists of a system unit 30 and two video monitors 31. In addition, the agro-industrial complex 4 has a local network switch 32 and an uninterruptible power supply 33. AIC is located on the table of 34 instructors.

The simulator works as follows.

The instructor using the calculator 24 to control the learning process enters the database of information about the trainees, launches the training task for execution, and it can be selected from the existing database or created again by the instructor. In addition, the instructor using the calculator 24 on the video monitor 31 sets the conditions for completing the task: time

years, time of day, temperature, wind speed and direction, type and quantity of ammunition, types of malfunctions, etc. After setting the initial data, the process of completing the task by the trainees begins.

Digital signals about the state of the controls of the simulators 6 ÷ 14 RMN 1 are received in the control unit 5. Digital signals about the state of the controls of the simulators 18 ÷ 23 PMK 2 are received in the control unit 17. In blocks 5 and 17 of the control is the primary processing of input information. In addition to digital signals, analog signals from simulators 6, 10, 20 and 22 are received in control units 5 and 17. In control units 5 and 17, analog signals are converted to digital. The state of the display organs installed in the simulators is also controlled by means of control units 5 and 17, built on the basis of microcomputers, for example, Atmega16 from ATMEL.

Thus, the direct control of the work of simulators 6 ÷ 14 and 18 ÷ 23, control over the state of the controls is carried out by blocks 5 and 17, installed on RMN 1 and RMK 2.

The power supply of blocks 5 and 17, as well as the simulators 6 ÷ 14 and 18 ÷ 23 PMN 1 and RMK 2 themselves, is provided from the calculator 27 of the AIC 4. From control blocks 5 and 17, the calculator 27 constantly receives information on the status of the controls of the simulators RMN 1 and RMK 2. Based on the information received, the calculator 27 works out an algorithm for the functioning of simulated systems and devices of the weapons complex. In accordance with the worked out algorithm, the calculator 27 receives information about the state of the display elements РМН 1 and РМК 2 in control units 5 and 17, which directly control each display element.

Computers 25 ÷ 29 form images of the background-target environment observed by the gunner and commander. On the video monitor 31 RMI 3 s

using the system unit 30 of the calculator 24, one of the images of the background-target situation formed by the calculators 25 ÷ 29 is duplicated, according to the choice of the instructor. The exchange of information between computers 24 ÷ 29 is carried out using the switch 32 of the local network. From the calculator 24 for controlling the learning process, the calculators 25 ÷ 29 for the formation of images receive information about the type of terrain (mountains, desert, medium-crossed), time of year (summer, winter), time of day (day, night), meteorological data, type and quantity goals, direction and speed of their movement, etc.

The information received by the calculators 25 ÷ 29 from the calculator 24, as well as from the simulators RMN 1 and RMK 2 is used to form the image of the background-target environment. The calculator 24 RMI 3 in the process of performing the training task fixes errors in the actions of the trainees, and at the end of the task, the students automatically set grades. In addition, in the process of completing the training task, the instructor using the video monitor 31 visually controls the actions of the trainees.

An uninterruptible power supply source 33, through which a supply voltage is supplied to the computers 24–29 and the local network switch 32, is designed to protect the simulator from short-term power surges of the industrial power supply network, as well as maintain the computers and the local network switch in an operable state sufficient time for the correct exit from the simulator work program and equipment shutdown.

Intercom devices 15 installed on РМН 1, РМК 2 and РМИ 3, provide intercommunication between the trainees and the instructor, and also provide the ability to supply sound signals to the trainees when they commit erroneous actions. As intercoms can be used, for example, devices A-4 intercom R-124 NPP "Wave", Moscow.

At the applicant enterprise, by decision of the Main Armored Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, design documentation for the proposed utility model has been developed.

The proposed simulator can be repeatedly reproduced on modern equipment using modern technology and used as a technical training tool for training operators of the weapons complex located on a modernized mobile carrier, for example, on an infantry fighting vehicle (BMP-3), which allows us to conclude that the claimed utility model to the criterion of "industrial applicability".
