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

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         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.
