Munition oder MunitionsteileAmmunition or ammunition parts
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Überwachung des Zustandes Umweltbelastungen aμsgesetzter Munition oder Munitionsteile, wobei im Folgenden auch die Munitionsteile als Munition bezeichnet werden.The invention relates to a method for monitoring the state environmental pollution aμssetztem ammunition or ammunition parts, hereinafter also the ammunition parts are referred to as ammunition.
Eine Vorrichtung zum identifizieren von Munition ist aus der DE 41 37 819 A1 bekannt. Diese Vorrichtung besitzt eine Datenverarbeitungsanlage mit einer Lese- und / oder Schreibeinrichtung sowie Einrichtungen zur Speicherung und Verarbeitung aufzunehmender und / oder abzugebender Daten.A device for identifying ammunition is known from DE 41 37 819 A1. This device has a data processing system with a reading and / or writing device as well as devices for storing and processing data to be recorded and / or output.
Eine weitere Vorrichtung zur Identifizierung des Munitionstyps einer Munition zeigt die DE 10 2005 040 407 B4 auf, wobei insbesondere auf die Einbindung der Erkennungseinrichtung in einen Zuführstern hingewiesen wird. Damit die Erkennungseinrichtung den geeigneten Geschosstyp zum Verschießen wählen kann, wird die Information auf einem Informationsträger ausgelesen. Auf diesem können beispielsweise die Losnummer, wegen evtl. Schwankungen der relevanten Kerngrößen (Druck, Geschwindigkeit, Temperatur), die Geschwindigkeit V0 und wenn nicht in der Losnummer enthalten, das Herstelldatum und der Hersteller vermerkt sein. Das Herstelldatum dient beispielsweise dazu, die bisherige Lagerzeit der Munition berücksichtigen zu können.Another device for identifying the type of ammunition of an ammunition is shown in DE 10 2005 040 407 B4, in which reference is made in particular to the integration of the identification device in a feed star. So that the recognition device can select the suitable bullet type for firing, the information is read out on an information carrier. On this example, the lot number, because of possible fluctuations of the relevant core sizes (pressure, speed, temperature), the speed V 0 and if not included in the lot number, the date of manufacture and the manufacturer be noted. The date of manufacture serves, for example, to be able to take into account the previous storage time of the ammunition.
Eine den Erwerber einer Munition identifizierende Information wird in der DE 200 06 394 U1 beschrieben, während die DE 197 16 227 C2 sich mit einem Waffensystem beschäftigt, dass sich durch das Zusammenspiel Munition und Waffengerät aufzeichnet. Auch hier werden munitionsspezifische Daten berücksichtigt.A the acquirer of ammunition identifying information is described in DE 200 06 394 U1, while DE 197 16 227 C2 deals with a weapon system that records by the interaction of ammunition and weapon equipment. Again, ammunition-specific data is taken into account.
Um auch Umwelteinflüsse oder dergleichen, welche die Munition beispielsweise beim
Transport selbst oder während ihrer Lagerung zu berücksichtigen, liegt der Erfindung die Idee zugrunde, eine Überwachung des Zustandes der Munition im Hinblick auf die während ihrer Lagerung und / oder ihres Transportes auftretenden Umwelteinflüsse, etwa auf die Treibladung und/oder die Sprengladung bei Sprenggeschossen sowie auf die Treibladungshülse von Munition mit verbrennbarer Hülse, vorzunehmen.To environmental influences or the like, which, for example, the ammunition Transport itself or to take into account during their storage, the invention is based on the idea of monitoring the state of the ammunition with respect to the environmental influences occurring during their storage and / or their transport, such as the propellant charge and / or the explosive charge at blasting projectiles and on the propellant sleeve of ammunition with combustible sleeve to make.
Bekanntlich wird die Munition, die sich bereits im Gefechtsfeld befunden hat und diversen Umwelteinflüssen ausgesetzt, aber nicht bestimmungsgemäß benutzt wurde (im Folgenden auch als „gestresste" Munition bezeichnet) wieder in ein entsprechendes Munitionsdepot transportiert und dort bis zum nächsten Einsatz gelagert oder im Einsatzland direkt vernichtet, wenn ein sicherer Transport nicht gewährleistet werden kann. Spätestens nach einem fest vorgegebenen Zeitraum, der in der Regel unabhängig von dem Zustand der durch Umwelteinflüsse beeinflusster Munitionskomponenten ist, wird jedoch die nicht bestimmungsgemäß verwendete Munition vernichtet oder recycelt. Insbesondere wenn die Munition im Ausland im Einsatz war und beispielsweise relativ großen Temperaturschwankungen (z.B. bei einem Einsatz in Wüstengegenden) ausgesetzt war, können erhebliche, die Lebensdauer der Munition verkürzende Veränderungen bei einzelnen Munitionskomponenten (beispielsweise bei dem Treibladungspulver oder bei der verbrennbaren Treibladungshülse) auftreten.As is known, the ammunition, which has already been in the battlefield and exposed to various environmental influences, but not used as intended (hereinafter also referred to as "stressed" ammunition) again transported to a corresponding ammunition depot and stored there until the next use or directly in the country of use However, after a fixed period of time, which is generally independent of the state of the ammunition components affected by environmental influences, the improperly used ammunition will be destroyed or recycled, especially if the ammunition is stored abroad was in use and, for example, relatively large temperature fluctuations (eg when used in desert areas) was exposed to significant, the life of the ammunition shortening changes in individual ammunition components (for example, the Treibladungsp ulver or incombustible cartridge).
Durch die Überwachung der den Umweltbelastungen ausgesetzten Munition kann eine Aussage über die sichere Verwendbarkeit und damit über die Restlebensdauer dieser gestressten Munition getroffen werden.By monitoring the ammunition exposed to the environmental impact, a statement can be made about the safe usability and thus about the remaining life of this stressed ammunition.
Besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung offenbaren die Unteransprüche.Particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention disclose the subclaims.
Die Erfindung beruht dabei im Wesentlichen auf dem Gedanken, mit Hilfe an sich bekannter Messeinrichtungen die Umwelteinflüsse (Temperatur, Luftfeuchtigkeit, Vibrationsereignisse etc.) zu messen, welche während der Lagerung und / oder des Transportes zum oder im Einsatzgebiet sowie während des Einsatzes auf die Munition einwirken. Basierend auf diesen Daten werden dann rechnergestützte Analysen durchgeführt, um Erkenntnisse hinsichtlich des aktuellen Zustandes der Munition zu erlangen.The invention is essentially based on the idea to measure the environmental influences (temperature, humidity, vibration events, etc.) with the help of known measuring devices, which during storage and / or transport to or in the field and during use on the ammunition act. Based on this data, computer-assisted analyzes are then carried out in order to gain insights into the current state of the ammunition.

In Fig. 1 ist mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 die Auslieferung entsprechender Munition (beispielsweise einer Patrone) nach ihrer Laborierung in einem Fertigungswerk angedeutet. An die Auslieferung der Munition schließen sich die mit den Bezugsziffern 2 bis 7 gekennzeichneten Zeitabschnitte an, während derer die Munition 8 (Fig. 2) unterschiedlichen Umwelteinflüssen ausgesetzt ist.In Fig. 1, the reference numeral 1, the delivery of appropriate ammunition (for example, a cartridge) indicated by their laboratory in a manufacturing plant. The delivery of the ammunition is followed by the periods indicated by the reference numerals 2 to 7, during which the ammunition 8 (FIG. 2) is exposed to different environmental influences.
Dabei ist mit 2 der Zeitraum gekennzeichnet, der sich nach der Laborierung der Munition 8 in einem entsprechenden Auslieferungslager anschließt. Nach Entnahme der Munition 8 aus dem Auslieferungslager wird diese während eines Zeitabschnittes 3, beispielsweise
mittels eines Flugzeuges, zur bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung in das Ausland verbracht und dort während eines Zeitabschnittes 4 in einem Zentrallager zwischengelagert. Anschließend erfolgt während eines Zeitabschnittes 5 der Transport der Munition 8 zu einem vorbestimmten Einsatzort. Während eines weiteren Zeitabschnittes 6 befindet sich die Munition innerhalb eines Kampffahrzeuges zur bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung.The period is marked with 2, which follows after the ammunition 8 in a corresponding distribution center. After removal of the ammunition 8 from the distribution warehouse this is during a period of time 3, for example by means of an aircraft, spent for its intended use in foreign countries and stored there for a period of time 4 in a central warehouse. Subsequently, during a period of time 5, the transport of the ammunition 8 to a predetermined location. During a further period of time 6, the ammunition is within a combat vehicle for its intended use.
Sofern die entsprechende Munition 8 während des Kampfeinsatzes nicht verschossen wurde, wird sie entladen und beispielsweise während eines Zeitabschnittes 7 wiederum in dem Zentrallager gelagert.If the corresponding ammunition 8 was not fired during the combat mission, it is unloaded and stored, for example, during a period of time 7 again in the central warehouse.
Erfindungsgemäß ist nun vorgesehen, die während der verschiedenen Zeitabschnitte 2 bis 7 auf die Munition einwirkenden Umwelteinflüsse zu ermitteln und zu dokumentieren, um diese bei der weiteren Verwendung der Munition 8 berücksichtigen zu können.According to the invention, it is now provided to determine and document the environmental influences acting on the ammunition during the various time periods 2 to 7 in order to be able to take these into account in the further use of the ammunition 8.
Hierzu wird die Munition 8 (Fig. 2) zunächst mit einem Barcode 9 versehen, der sie eindeutig kennzeichnet. Logistische Komponenten, wie die Palette, auf der sich die Munition 8 befindet, sowie die Fahrzeuge, mittels welcher die Munition 8 befördert wird, sind jeweils mit einer Messeinrichtung (Datenbox) 10 zur selbständigen Ermittlung der Umweltdaten (Temperatur, Luftfeuchte, Schock bzw. Vibrationswerte) ausgestattet.For this purpose, the ammunition 8 (FIG. 2) is first provided with a barcode 9, which uniquely identifies it. Logistic components, such as the pallet on which the ammunition 8 is located, as well as the vehicles by means of which the ammunition 8 is conveyed, are each provided with a measuring device (data box) 10 for the autonomous determination of the environmental data (temperature, air humidity, shock or vibration values ) fitted.
Außerdem verfügt die Person, welche die Ver- und Entladung der Munition 8 beaufsichtigt, über mindestens einen tragbaren Kleinrechner 11 , in der Regel ein so genanntes PDA- Gerät (PDA: Personal Digital Assistant), mit integriertem Barcodescanner 12, so dass über die Bar-Codierung der Munition 8 eine Zuordnung der Munition 8 zur jeweils zuständigen Datenbox 10 durchführbar ist. Dabei hilft ein menügeführtes Programm dem Benutzer des PDA- Gerätes 11 , diese Zuordnung mittels des in dem PDA- Gerät integrierten Barcodescanners 12 durchzuführen.In addition, the person who supervises the loading and unloading of ammunition 8, at least one portable small computer 11, usually a so-called PDA device (PDA: Personal Digital Assistant), with integrated barcode scanner 12, so that the bar -Coding of the ammunition 8 an assignment of the ammunition 8 to the respective data box 10 is feasible. In this case, a menu-guided program helps the user of the PDA device 11 to carry out this assignment by means of the bar code scanner 12 integrated in the PDA device.
Die Datenbox 10 befindet sich bei dem in Fig. 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel beispielsweise an einer Palette, auf welcher die Munition 8 in dem Auslieferungslager angeordnet ist. Anhand des Barcodes 9 der Munition 8 verknüpft der Benutzer des PDA- Gerätes 11 die auf der Palette befindliche Munition 8 mit der Datenbox 10, so dass das System von nun an weiß, dass die Daten dieser Datenbox 10 für die auf der Palette befindliche Munition 8 gelten.
Wird nun die Palette zum Transport in ein Fahrzeug geladen, wird durch Scannen des Barcodes 9 der Munition 8 und des Barcodes des entsprechenden Fahrzeuges eine Neuzuordnung der Munition 8 zu der im Fahrzeug befindlichen Datenbox durchgeführt. Von nun an weiß das System, dass die Daten der in dem Fahrzeug angeordneten Datenbox für die nun im Fahrzeug befindliche Munition gelten etc. Dabei muss es sich bei dem zum Scannen verwendeten PDA- Gerät nicht um das gleiche PDA- Gerät 11 handeln, wie es zum Scannen der Munition im Auslieferungslager verwendet wurde.The data box 10 is located in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, for example, on a pallet on which the ammunition 8 is arranged in the distribution warehouse. On the basis of the bar code 9 of the ammunition 8, the user of the PDA device 11 links the ammunition 8 located on the pallet to the data box 10, so that the system knows from now on that the data of this data box 10 for the ammunition 8 located on the pallet be valid. If the pallet is then loaded into a vehicle for transport, a new assignment of the ammunition 8 to the data box located in the vehicle is carried out by scanning the barcode 9 of the ammunition 8 and the barcode of the corresponding vehicle. From now on, the system knows that the data stored in the vehicle data box for now in the vehicle ammunition apply, etc. The PDA device used for scanning need not be the same PDA device 11, as it was used to scan the ammunition at the distribution center.
Parallel zu dieser Zuordnung von Munition 8 zur jeweiligen Datenbox 10 können mit Hilfe der in dem jeweiligen PDA- Gerät 11 befindlichen Software sporadisch die gewonnenen Umweltdaten (unter Berücksichtigung von Datum und Uhrzeit) aus der entsprechenden Datenbox 10 auch ausgelesen werden.In parallel with this assignment of ammunition 8 to the respective data box 10, the environmental data obtained (taking into account the date and time) can also be read from the corresponding data box 10 sporadically with the aid of the software located in the respective PDA device 11.
Alle mit Hilfe des (oder der) entsprechenden PDA- Gerätes 11 durchgeführten Zuordnungen und gesammelten Daten werden auf einer separaten PDA- Station 13 zusammengeführt und auf einer „sicheren" Leitung via Internet (oder mittels einer CD) auf einen Datenbankserver 14 übermittelt. Die auf diesem Datenbankserver 14 hinterlegte Software zum Speichern, Sortieren und Aufbereiten der Daten führt die Daten dahingehend zusammen, dass nun komponentenspezifisch (patronen-, geschossspezifisch etc.) die Historie der entsprechenden Munition dargestellt werden kann (d.h. wann befand sich welche Munition unter welchen Umweltbelastungen).All assignments and collected data carried out with the aid of the (or the) corresponding PDA device 11 are combined on a separate PDA station 13 and transmitted on a "secure" line via the Internet (or by means of a CD) to a database server 14 Software for storing, sorting and processing the data stored in this database server 14 merges the data so that the history of the corresponding ammunition can now be represented component-specifically (cartridge-specific, bullet-specific, etc.) (ie when was which ammunition under which environmental pollution).
Eine weitere, auf dem Datenbankserver 14 hinterlegte Software dient dazu, die Umweltbelastungsdaten in Verbindung mit der speziellen Munition zu bewerten, um eine Aussage zu treffen, in welchem Zustand sich diese befindet und ob sie weiterhin Verwendung finden kann.
Another software stored on the database server 14 serves to evaluate the environmental impact data associated with the particular ammunition in order to determine what condition it is in and whether it can continue to be used.
