FIRING METHOD FROM BMD-4M IN EXTERNAL TARGET DESIGNATION MODE AND FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC F41G3/00 

FIELD: military equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to weapons and military equipment systems, in particular, to infantry combat vehicles (CV) weapons complexes, landing gear, tanks, armored personnel carriers etc. Fire control system includes ballistic computer (1) with system of input information sensors (8), which includes an azimuth sensor, weapon stabilizer (2), control unit (3), optic-television sight of gunner (5), as well as an imaging and telemetry machine (4) for tracking targets, a commander's panel (6) and an operator's panel (7), a coordinate measurement system (11), which includes an antenna unit, a receiver and an angle-code converter, a commander's seat, which includes series-connected keyboards control unit (9) and video surveillance device of commander (10). First inputs and first outputs of the opto-television sight of gunner (5), the television and thermal imaging machine (4) for tracking targets, control unit (3), stabilizer (2), ballistic computer (1), command panel (6) and operator panel (7) are connected to a digital communication channel. Fourth input and the fourth output of control unit (3) are connected to the second output and the second input of the television and thermal automatic device (4) for tracking targets. Second output of the optical-television sight of gunner (5) is connected to the fourth input of weapon stabilizer (2), the third input of which is connected to the second output of operator panel (7). Coordinate measurement system (11) is connected to fifth input of control unit (3). Third output of control unit (3) is connected to first input of video surveillance device of commander (10), output of which is connected to control panel (9), second output of which is connected to third input of control unit (3). In addition, there is a control and communication (12) reconnaissance complex implemented as a mobile computer, the first inputs and outputs of which are connected through a communication system receiver-transmitter (13) to other control and communication intelligence complexes participating in the fire task solving, and with control and communication systems for control and communication systems of mobile or stationary command stations, and second inputs and outputs are connected through an adapter to a digital communication channel. Also disclosed is a method of firing CV using a fire control system.

EFFECT: reduced time for preparation and firing of CV from firing positions on targets located in visibility zone of optical means of CV, and out of visibility zones, as well as reduction of probability of errors introduction by operators and commanders of CV during preparation and firing of CV on firing positions.
