INCREASING SELF-PROPELLED CRAFT WEAPONS FIRE EFFICIENCY Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F41G3/06 F41G5/14 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: motionless or running tank searches, detects, identifies and traces the target day and night. Tank gun is charged with the selected projectile. Corrections for air temperature, gun barrel bore wear, barometric pressure and cross-wind are automatically computed and loaded. Additionally, set of fire efficiency evaluation is loaded to analyze the signals from the laser range finder and ballistics selector. Shell type is selected subject to measured distance to the target and the efficient fire range. The gunlayer is informed by discrete flashing of the "selected shell type" indicator on inexpediency of said selection at measured range via the indication unit in the field of vision of the sight-range finder-laying unit. Claimed process differs from known procedures in that at group fire from self-propelled guns the order of fire is set by determination of the minimum time interval from the first shot moment of a separate self-propelled gun to the last shell burst moment.

EFFECT: higher probability of target hitting.
