    摘要: Disclosed is a system and method for authorizing and executing safe semi-autonomous engagement of a safety critical firing device at a remote location. A Human Machine Interface at the near location has an input including a hardware safety barrier and hardware barrier communication unit with interfaces connected to a network. At the remote location, a control unit and an Robotic Operator Server are connected to a fire control system of the safety critical firing device and to the network. The Robotic Operator Server includes software for detecting and locking to a target and for providing authorization information to the Human Machine Interface, and to transfer trigger signals to the fire control system when authorization of engagement is confirmed by an operator via a control panel. The safety critical firing device is engaged if all of activation control, arming control, and trigger signals are present in the fire control system.

    摘要: In a system and method for operating, at a near location, a remote safety-critical device, the system includes a first operating input device operated at the near location, providing a first barrier control signal; and a second operating input device to be operated at the near location, providing a second barrier control signal. The first barrier control signal is communicatively connected to a near end of a first secure communication tunnel, and the second barrier control signal is communicatively connected to a near end of a second secure communication tunnel, both through the non-secure communication network. Far ends of the first and second secure communication tunnels are communicatively connected to activating inputs of first and second barrier circuits, respectively. The first and second barrier circuits enable operation of the safety-critical device when both are activated.

    摘要: The method serves for adjusting a positioning of a longitudinal axis of a weapon barrel. An adjusting angle of the weapon barrel is changeable by at least one adjusting element. The weapon barrel is arranged so as to be movable relative to a weapon support in the direction of the longitudinal axis. A positioning of the weapon barrel relative to the weapon support is determined by measurement technology. The measurement values obtained as a result are supplied to a control device. The control device acts on the adjusting element in accordance with a predetermined functional relationship between the obtained measurement values and an input value for the adjusting element. The device for firing shell s is constructed for use of the respective method.

    摘要: A gimbaled weapon system (GWS) is disclosed having a sighting system, a control unit, a weapon cradle and an operator interface for the GWS located remotely from the weapon cradle and the sighting system. The weapon cradle is elevated using a first elevation drive. The weapon cradle is co-located with the sighting system as a unit in the GWS. The GWS includes a second elevation drive elevating the sighting system independently of the elevation of the weapon cradle by the first elevation drive. A network of multiple, mobile target sensors located remotely from the GWS provide coordinates or location of a target to the control unit of the GWS.

    摘要: The present invention provides a powered aiming platform for pointing devices such as firearms, illumination devices, or sensing instruments, remotely controlled by a hand-controller device, with video feedback of the aiming position and audio feedback of the exact direction and speed of positioning movements. The present invention overcomes the safety and accuracy limitations of manual and conventional remotely-controlled aiming mechanisms, thereby allowing operators to point devices accurately and quickly with predictable, precise control. In the case of firearms, the present invention maintains a steady position after repeated firing.
