METHOD FOR REVEALING AND COMPENSATION OF SIGHTING ERROR IN SHIP ARTILLERY COMPLEX Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: military equipment, in particular, ship artillery complexes.

SUBSTANCE: the barrel of the artillery mount is preliminary inserted in a television transmitting camera connected by means of cable communication line to a television monitor with a angle-measuring graticule. A small-sized target is locked-on for automatic tracking by the control system, the control system of the artillery mount is changed over to "direct laying", at which the barrel axis is automatically directed to the target tracked by the control system. The image of the tracked target is observed on the screen of the television monitor coupled to the television transmitting camera, and the presence of a shift of the target image relative to the center of the graticule is revealed, with the aid of it the mean values of deflections of the target image in horizon and vertical are determined. After that the television transmitting camera is removed from the barrel of the gun mount, and the control system and the artillery mount are returned to standard functioning, the measured mean values of deflections are introduced into the ballistic computer for producing the compensating corrections into the laying angles of the artillery mount.

EFFECT: provided revealing and compensation of the arising systematic errors without fire of the artillery mount.
