A device for determining the deviation of a target provided with a retrorector from a predetermined location in three spatial directions has a laser and a quadrant detector arranged next to it, which can be displaced jointly in the three spatial directions X, Y, Z. In this arrangement, the Z-setting is readjusted with the aid of a range measurement, so that the target is optimally illuminated. On the basis of the signal in the quadrant detector a displacement in the X-direction and Y-direction is effected in order to obtain a zero signal from the quadrant detector. The readjustments in the three directions are a measure of the deviation which can be displayed on a display via control electronics.

The arrangement for firing simulation and battle simulation, for reflecting mages generated by means of a computer (12) into the beam path (15) of a sighting device which has a cathode-ray tube (5, 6) for producing the images, is designed in such a way that it can be used even in widely varying external brightness. For this purpose, the cathode-ray tube (5, 6) emits essentially monochromatic light, while a narrow-band absorption filter (16) for the wavelength of the cathode-ray tube (5, 6) is located in the beam path (15) of the sight outside the beam path of the generated images.

The arrangement for the transmission of laser light (9) exhibits a laser tter (1) and a receiver (2) for the laser light (9). In order that it should be possible to establish if the optical system (6) of the receiver (2) becomes dirty or an obstruction passes in front of this optical system, the laser receiver (2) is provided with a reference light source (12) disposed after the optical system (6). If the objective (6) becomes dirty or if an obstruction passes in front of the same, light from the reference light source (12) is scattered into the detector (7), so that an alarm indication can be given by a warning circuit (14).

A method for the laser-optical measurement of cooperative objects at an urtain distance by emission of a laser beam and evaluation of the echo reflected at the object, more especially for simulation of firing for practice purposes. In order to be able to adapt the size of the beam cross-section to the target conditions within limited distance ranges, within a coherent measurement process a plurality of similar individual measurements are undertaken with differing beam divergences, which are associated in each instance with differing distance ranges. If echos which come from a distance substantially greater than the distance associated with the set divergence are received, then these are excluded from the evaluation.

The arrangement for shot simulation with a shot simulator and at least one arget is characterized in that the target has a device for emitting light of a wavelength outside the visible wavelength range and the shot simulator has a receiving device for the light. The shot simulator also possesses a device for measuring the period of time between the detection of the target as a result of the emitted light and the firing of a simulated shot. By means of this arrangement, the reaction time required by the gunner between the detection of the target, the identification of the latter and the firing of a shot and a hit can be measured effectively.

In a system for the transmission of information between an inquiry station nd a response station by means of optical radiation from the inquiry station an outgoing signal is transmitted and subjected to a modulation partially in fixed frequency and partially with information code and by the response station on the one hand is received and evaluated and on the other reflected back as return signal and subjected to a modulation. The enabling of the return reflection is controlled in dependence upon the evaluation of an identification contained in the outgoing signal. The instant of the enabling is controlled by a coding contained in the outgoing signal which indicates the end of the transmitted message, whereupon at the start of the return reflection at first an acknowledgement signal, for example an unchanged reflection of the coding of the outgoing signal, is transmitted and by said acknowledgement signal the switching of the inquiry station to fixed frequency and/or fixed coding is automatically controlled, a ready-to-answer status thus being produced. In the response station means are provided for recognizing the fixed frequency or fixed coding of the outgoing signal and for producing an operating readiness of the modulator of the response station tuned to said fixed clock frequency. An automatically controlled electromechanical diaphragm may be provided for protecting the optical system and permitting electrooptical addressability only when the inquiry code is decoded as friend signal.

System for electrooptical information transmission

A device is disclosed for combat simulation, in which each weapon carrying ombat participant has a laser transmitter, an optical measurement receiver, and an analyzer, and each target object combat participant has reflector elements, an optical information receiver and a device for evaluating the optical information. When firing is simulated, the target is tracked with laser pulses which are transmitted by the laser transmitter and reflected by the reflector elements back to the measurement receiver. The hit accuracy information is optically coded and sent back to the target. According to this invention, optical signals or beams for target tracking and for information transmission are spatially separated from each other by distributing the reflector elements in the vulnerable area of the target, but locating the optical information receiver separately, preferably in an exposed location. The reflector elements may be inexpensive disposable elements. Signal transmission between the various components can be accomplished by optoelectronic links without the use of cables. On receipt of a 'hit' signal, an optoelectronic link which activates the laser transmitter can be unavoidably switched off to inactivate the combat participant that has been hit without any possibility of tampering by the combat participant to prevent this.

A sabot projectile guide with a rear sabot intended for resting in a leakoof manner against a smooth gun barrel, and with a front encircling guide collar intended for interacting with the barrel in a guiding manner, and with an encircling cavity enclosed essentially in a leak-proof manner between the sabot and the collar and the barrel. The tube friction, together with the tube damage arising from this, is reduced, centering of the projectile is improved and its scattering is reduced, because the periphery of the guide collar is designed as a dynamic gas bearing which has a ram zone open towards the front and a support gap connected to the cavity towards the rear. The cavity between sabot and the guide collar is closed off essentially in a leak-proof manner, apart from the gas bearing, so that during the interior ballistic phase a differential pressure sufficient for the functioning of the gas bearing is preserved between the ram side and the cavity.
