Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to claim 1 , a device according to claim 19 and a use of the device according to claim 30.
  • attachment angle As attachment angle the direct shooting is called that angle, around which the gun barrel must be steeper than the sight line.
  • the projectiles fired from the barrel move at direct fire on a projectile trajectory, at the mouth of the gun barrel with the sighting line collapses, then lies above the sighting line and at the finish again with the Sight line should coincide.
  • An exact setting of the attachment angle is thus imperative for the achievement of hits, and accurate to the angle of essay to determine the deployment distance must be known exactly.
  • the sighting of the target is done by eye.
  • the deployment distance that is the distance to the destination is determined without aids. It is hardly possible to accurately determine the deployment distance of eye, therefore, in general a distance range is estimated within which the exact deployment distance probably lies.
  • the deployment distance can be determined by For example, with the help of a topographic map, be determined exactly. It is also possible to determine the deployment distance of a visible target with the aid of a distance measuring unit, For example, a laser distance measuring unit to measure.
  • medium and heavy infantry weapons also become indirect Shooting used, that is to combat goals, by a unbreakable obstacle are separated from the weapon and are not visible. In this case, the insertion distance can not be measured. She either has to without visual help on the basis of a possible or suspected Location of the destination can be estimated, or it must be with the help of weapon-external Means are determined.
  • sight / grain visors have two major drawbacks that result in that the weapon barrel can not be directed precisely: First, the deployment distance usually only approximately known, since they are estimated by the eye got to; secondly, due to lack of optical magnification, only a blurred one is obtained Image of the target and therefore can not steady the weapon.
  • infantry weapons can also serve as aids Have sighting devices.
  • aids in the context of the present Descriptions are generally referred to as image visualization units, For example, they may have riflescopes.
  • image visualization units For the shooter are doing one enlarged image of the target or a target image and one in the image visualization device Engraved line marking or target mark visible.
  • the determination of the deployment distance is carried out either as described above of Eye or with the help of a laser distance measuring unit.
  • the rifle scope will be like this mounted so that its optical axis is parallel to the weapon barrel axis and also the possibly existing laser distance measuring unit becomes parallel aligned to the weapon barrel axis. If no angle was considered, so this led to corresponding inaccuracies. Slowly when shooting flying missiles like grenades reinforces this problem since the long Flight time of such projectiles requires a relatively large attachment angle.
  • the disadvantages of an image visualization unit in the form of a riflescope are in Essentially the following:
  • the weapon tube parallel alignment of the riflescope limits the choice of magnification; one to be adjusted at the weapon Top angle determines the filing between the sight line and the barrel axis Reason of which a target mark is visualized; is the deployment distance large, so are This essay angles relatively large, which has the consequence that in an optics with meaningful enlargement can no longer visualize the target.
  • With a strong filing also gives distortions, if not an absolute one distortion-free and therefore expensive optics is used.
  • ABM has compared to conventional ammunition numerous advantages: The projectiles of the ABM penetrate camouflaged bushes or light woods and snow masses of considerable thickness without premature to detonate; ABM is great for house fighting because slices and light walls will break through and the effect of the projectiles onwards is directed; the dreaded ricochet effect that is close to the target in conventional Ammunition and stretched projectile trajectories is otherwise common, can not adjust.
  • the use of ABM can only be successful be if the projectile trajectories can be determined exactly or if the weapons used have facilities that have a Allow accurate sighting of the target and aiming the barrel.
  • a weapon with a Feuerleitvorraum known.
  • This weapon is designed primarily to combat fast-moving targets, why it has a device for detecting the angular velocity of Has goals. It has an image visualization device that moves by means of Prisms or beam deflection can work.
  • This weapon is in her Construction is much more complicated and is primarily used for completely different purposes as the relatively light weapons for which the invention is intended.
  • the new method comprises several phases: During one first phase, a coarse straightening of the barrel is made. These are infantry-like or by a shooter performed process steps carried out for which no special aids and in particular no data processing unit can be used. During a second phase the actual aiming takes place, whereby only the image visualization unit moves and with her a target image is targeted.
  • the goal is roughly targeted during the first phase and the gun barrel roughly directed, that is azimuth and elevation of the Gun barrel are set approximately.
  • the azimuth changes in the sequence only if the weapon is not leveled, then there is a change in the elevation results in a correlated change in the azimuth.
  • the elevation will determined on the basis of mission data showing the relative position of the target Weapon, including the topographic profile between target and weapon.
  • the relevant application data contain only the deployment distance or deployment distance range; they have to be determined at least approximately.
  • An initial essay angle so the angle between the weapon barrel axis and the sight line or the optical one
  • the axis of the image visualization unit is dependent on the previous one certain deployment distance or from the previously determined deployment distance range set.
  • the image visualization unit After setting the initial attachment angle are the weapon barrel axis and the sight line or the optical axis the image visualization unit is arranged to have an initial attachment angle lock in.
  • the optical axis of the image visualization unit is So not as with conventional sighting devices parallel to the weapon barrel axis but adapted to the at least approximately determined deployment distance. Thus one reaches that in the further fight of the goal respectively on further targeting the target always only the distortion-free central area the optical image visualization unit must be used.
  • this is the goal when aiming Gun barrel in its position set during the first phase.
  • the target image is a true image of the target and is using the optical image visualization unit more precisely targeted or pursued, that is the situation the image visualization unit changes from the weapon barrel axis and also absolutely.
  • This changes the attachment angle that is, the initial Set attachment angle becomes larger or smaller by an angle change.
  • This angle change is continuously measured, so that the position of the sight line relative to the position of the barrel axis is always known.
  • the deployment distance is generally new and, if possible, more specific than during the first one Phase of the procedure.

  • the filing of the target from the target image is on Measure for a residual attachment angle or an angle change, around which the current attachment angle still needs to be changed so that the projectile the target to be met.
  • the aiming of the barrel becomes the third phase, in which the fine-judging takes place, completed.

  • the data processing unit performs on the basis of the provided her Data from their ballistics calculation and thereby determines the location of Target mark, which here too corresponds to the end of a fictitious projectile trajectory and the target image as close as possible.
  • Coarse-straightening becomes an approximate initial angle of attack set and here brought the image visualization unit in a position in which the target is already in the optimal field of optics, so close the optical axis of the image visualization unit is located. This creates For the shooter optimal visibility conditions, because unwanted influences Distortion and loss of light are eliminated or minimized.
