METHOD TO TUNE TANK ARMAMENT COMPLEX, TUNING AND MONITORING PANEL Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F41H7/02 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: method to tune a tank armament complex includes adjustment of an aiming mark and a weapon, definition of exit angles individual for this weapon projectiles of each type, their introduction into a tank ballistic computer (TBC) and adjustment of the tank armament complex parametres. At the same time the aiming mark and the weapon are adjusted along the barrel muzzle part. Individual exit angles of projectiles along vertical and horizontal lines are defined through calculations using the previously measured muzzle angle of the barrel and deviations of the barrel axis from rectilinearity along its whole length. Deviations are introduced into TBC, and angles of aiming and lateral deflection are corrected. At the same time adjustment is carried out with the help of an adjustment panel, which is arranged with the possibility to exchange data with the tank ballistic computer. The panel comprises a keyboard joined via a bus shaper to a digital processor, storage devices and via registers - to an indication unit.

EFFECT: increased accuracy of turning and reduction of its labour intensiveness.
