Apparatus and method for programming a projectile

Abstract

A measurement apparatus is provided, which is included on a measurement and programming basis for a projectile, which detects the fields and/or signals which emerge/originate from a programming coil, and is electrically connected to an evaluation device which itself evaluates these detected values. These values can then be taken into account for the programming of the projectile.

1 . An apparatus for programming a programmable projectile, the apparatus comprising:
 at least one programming coil; and   a measurement apparatus configured to detect fields and/or signals which emerge/originate from the programming coil and is electrically connected to an evaluation device, which evaluates these detected values.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the detected values are made available as correction values for the programming of the projectile. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the measurement apparatus has a coil with one or more turns around a muzzle opening of a tube weapon. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a conductor track configured as a circuit coil winding, and wherein the measurement apparatus is a printed circuit. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the measurement apparatus located such that it does not cover the unobstructed opening of the barrel muzzle. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the measurement apparatus is included in an attachment ring that is configured to be adhesively bonded to an end surface of a tube-weapon muzzle. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the attachment ring is equipped with an enlarged area. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the attachment ring is a cap. 
     
     
         9 . A method for programming a programmable projectile, the method comprising:
 providing at least one programming coil;   providing a measurement apparatus that detects fields and/or signals which emerge/originate from the programming coil; and   evaluating the detected fields and/or signals in an evaluation device.   
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the values are made available as correction values for the programming of the projectile.
