摘要:
A portable operation computer system, with particular application for military operations, including a control computer with a CPU, a display and control unit and at least one data interface, and including external components which can be connected to the at least one data interface of the control computer. The CPU is configured, after the control computer has been switched on or after an external component has been connected, to check whether the at least one data interface is connected to at least one of the external components and, if applicable, to which external component each data interface is directly or indirectly connected, and, depending on the result of this check, to automatically select an operating mode for the control computer from a plurality of stored operating modes and to configure the control computer and/or software running on the control computer accordingly.

Systems and methods are provided for calibrating equipment, such as a lighting fixture. A kinematic model of the lighting fixture is obtained. Test points, which include a pair of a corresponding control signal and an output are collected. These can be collected using a tracking system. The test points are then used to update the kinematic model of the lighting fixture. The process of updating the kinematic model can include the use of a Kalman filter. The calibration is then verified and may be re-calibrated. These methods can also be used to calibrate other equipment, for example, lasers, light projectors showing media content, audio speaker, microphones, cameras, and projectile equipment.

摘要:
A method for harmonizing an equipment relative to a vehicle, such as a helicopter, based upon sensing of gravitational and magnetic fields in a number of reference systems. The equipment is installed fixedly on board the vehicle which, relative to a first absolute reference system (RM), has an orientation defined by a second reference system (R2) tied to the vehicle. The equipment is subjected to the earth's gravitational field represented by a gravity vector g oriented along its gradient, as well as to the earth's magnetic field represented by a vector H oriented along its gradient. The orientation of the equipment is defined, relative to the first absolute reference system (RM), by a third reference system (R3). The equipment includes a device for measuring the components of the gravity vector g, fixed to the equipment (2), and the vehicle carries a computer; a memory associated with the computer; an equipment magnetometer, fixed to the vehicle, whose orientation, relative to the first absolute reference system (RM), is referenced by a fourth reference system (R4); and a link connecting the equipment and the equipment magnetometer to the computer and to the memory. The gravitational and magnetic fields are measured when the vehicle is in a number of different orientations, and the equipment is harmonized to the vehicle based thereon.

摘要:
The marine fire-control system preferably comprises several subsystems, each having a target detection module and at least one effector module. The subsystems and/or the modules are extensively interlinked and contain means for compensating static, quasi-static and dynamic alignment errors. By means of at least one computer unit, the data determined by respective sensors are evaluated and the compensation parameters representing the alignment errors between the individual subsystems and/or between the modules are determined. The processing of these movement data permits taking into account, during operation, the dynamic position changes between the subsystems or between the modules, respectively. Preferably, a permanent monitoring takes place by a safety or control system, which monitoring automatically or indirectly leads to an optimized coupling of effector modules and target detection modules.

A boresight correction system is disclosed that determines the existing error between an aircraft gunsight and its gun systems while prescribed aircraft maneuvers are performed and which automatically corrects the gunsight system to compensate for this error. The system includes a sensor for detecting bullet positions, hardware that determines the bullet positions relative to the gun boresight, a digital processor to determine the above mentioned error, and to correct the gunsight system according to this error, and a non-volatile memory in the digital processor to store a corrected boresight position.
摘要:
A system and method having a first device mounted on a first gimbal mount; a first visual feedback associated with the first gimbal; a second device mounted on a second gimbal mount physically displaced relative to the first gimbal mount; a second visual feedback mechanism associated with the second device. The orientation of the first device differs from the orientation of the second device by a dynamic correction amount. A correction controller having input that when acted upon by a user causes movement of the second device independently of movement of the first device to alter the correction amount to a revised correction amount such that subsequent movement of the first device causes motion in the second device that is at least partially dependent upon the revised correction amount.
摘要:
A gimbaled weapon system (GWS) includes methods for bore sighting a weapon mounted to the GWS. The GWS includes a sensor aligned with the bore of the weapon which generates an image of a target. The target image generated by the sensor is compared with a target image or reticle produced by the sighting system. The target image or reticle of the sighting system is moved or adjusted using operator controls until it is in alignment with the target image produced by the bore-aligned sensor. The procedure can be conducted at different ranges to targets.
