Abstract

A method for determining a fire guidance solution of an artillery weapon in indirect ballistic fire to hit a target. A changing weapon position of the weapon and a target position of the target are taken into consideration as geographical position data.

Claims (20)

1 . A method for determining a fire control solution of an artillery weapon in indirect ballistic fire for hitting a target,

wherein

a changing weapon position of the weapon and a target position of the target are taken into account as geographical position data.

2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein at least one absolute parameter independent of the relative position and/or the relative location of the weapon and the target is taken into account.

3 . The method as claimed in claim 2 wherein an absolute terrain height of the weapon position, an absolute terrain height of the target position, an absolute time and/or an absolute system parameter of the weapon is taken into account as absolute parameter.

4 . The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein a motion dynamic of the weapon and a motion dynamic of the target, in absolute coordinates, are taken into account.

5 . The method as claimed in claim 4 wherein the motion dynamics are detected in indirectly referenced coordinate systems.

6 . The method as claimed in, claim 1 wherein a detection system is used to detect the target.

7 . The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein an absolute detection system position of the detection system is used in the indirect referencing of the coordinate systems.

8 . The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the properties of the detection system are taken into account.

9 . The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein at least one artillery-relevant influencing parameter, including vibration influences of the weapon, and/or vibration influences of a weapon carrier and/or a firing time development, is taken into account.

10 . The method as claimed in claim 9 wherein the artillery-relevant influencing parameter, including its effect on the fire control solution, is extrapolated.

11 . The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein at least one geographical interference parameter is taken into account for determining an interference-contour-free projectile trajectory.

12 . The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein a continuous, terrain modeling between the weapon position and the target position is carried out.

13 . The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein at least one blocking parameter, including a definable restricted area, is taken into account.

14 . The method as claimed in claim 13 wherein depending on the blocking parameter, including depending on the situation and/or time, no fire control solution is output.

15 . A fire control system for determining a fire control solution of an artillery weapon in indirect ballistic fire for hitting a target, wherein the system is set up for carrying out the method as claimed in claim 1 .

16 . An artillery weapon system with an artillery weapon for combating a target in indirect ballistic fire,

including a fire control system as claimed in claim 15 .

17 . The artillery weapon system as claimed in claim 16 , further including a damped weapon carrier for reducing vibrations during motion dynamics, including for filtering high-frequency vibrations.
