摘要:
An aircraft weapon delivery system includes in combination with the usual computer for solving fire control equations and a display generator displaying a firing pipper, further circuitry for generating a reticle for viewing on the display such that command signals from the computer responsive to movement of the aircraft control stick are passed directly to the display to move the reticle without lag time to a registering position with a target viewed by the pilot. By providing the generated reticle in the form of a circle together with manual controls operable by the pilot for passing a variable reticle signal for varying the diameter of the circle, the pilot can adjust the circle size to match the visual target, the reticle signal then constituting a function of the range of the target and the rate that the pilot must vary the reticle signal to maintain a matching with the visual target constituting a function of the rate of change of range. These pieces of information can then be fed directly to the computer and thereby avoid the necessity of line-of-sight tracking and ranging radar equipment.

Improved automated fire control apparatus includes servomotor positioned weapon(s), range-determining radar, optical sight and controller, and a data processor. Multiple, improved feedback network organizations are provided to control the optical sighting path vis-a-vis gun mount for automated lead angle implementation under overall gunner supervision. Thus, for example, optical line of sight deflection is controlled, inter alia, by radar antenna positioning, target flight projection computations as well as manual gunner signal entry.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for controlling motor-driven devices adapted to be directed onto a moving target, such as weapons, particularly guns, or target acquisition devices, particularly optical sighting device, radar apparatus, sound locators or infrared tracking apparatus, the target being followed by at least one of these devices and the control quantities for the drive of the devices adapted to be directed onto a moving target being calculated by computer means, wherein based on the values of the lateral angle and elevation angle which values are derived continuously from one of the devices adapted to be directed onto a moving target, and on the values of the target velocity and the angle of inclination of the target path with respect to the horizontal plane, on the basis of the geometrical relationships which hold true for a rectilinear uniform movement, the lateral angular velocity and the elevational angular velocity are calculated and fed to the drives of the devices adapted to be directed onto a moving target.
