AUTOMATED ARMAMENT CONTROL SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: military equipment. SUBSTANCE: the automated armament control system has a series-connected control panel, sight, summing unit and a gun or launcher laying drive, ballistic computer, whose output is connected to the second input of the summing unit, correction manual insertion unit, whose outputs according to the quantity of corrections are connected to the respective first inputs of the ballistic computer, connected to the second, third and fourth inputs of which are the ammunition ballistics pickup, laser range finder and a wind transducer respectively, as well as a missile guidance system comprising a missile balance unit and series-connected coordinator, whose input is connected to the second output of the sight, control signal forming device, additional summing unit, whose second input is connected to the output of the missile balance unit, control signal forming unit and a command transmission line conjugate to the missile. The system has also the first selector switch, whose input is connected to the output of the ammunition ballistics transducer, constants unit, whose output is connected to the first input of the first selector switch, series-connected vertical air current transducer, first squarer, second selector switch, whose second input is connected to the output of the ammunition ballistics pickup, scaling unit, multiplying unit connected to whose second input is the output of the first selector switch, and a signal conditioning unit, whose output is connected to the third input of the summing unit. The system has also a division unit, whose first and second inputs are connected to the outputs of the laser range finder and ammunition ballistics pickup respectively, the second squarer, whose input is connected to the output of the division unit, and the output - to the third input of the first selector switch, two additional scaling units and an inverter. The second output of the second selector switch via the first additional scaling unit is connected to the third input of the multiplying unit, the third one via the series-connected second additional and the inverter is connected to the third input of the additional summing unit, and the vertical air current transducer is electrically connected via the key to the second outputs of the wind transducer and control panel. The communication components enhance the accuracy of fire and expand the system potentialities, in particular, as far as the action of vertical air currents is concerned. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of the system by 10-15%; at firing in a mountain-desert country the system efficiency may exceed 20%. 1 dwg
