ABSTRACT:
A training apparatus for aiming and gunnery comprises a target tracer, a central control and monitoring unit and equipment at each of a plurality of anti-aircraft guns or other weapons for combatting moving targets. The target tracer is provided with a range finding radar and a TV camera which, by means of an aiming instrument, are continuously held aimed at a moving target. Furthermore, the target tracer has rotational position indicators for indicating the positions of the radar and the camera with respect to a horizontal and a vertical axis. From information obtained from the radar and the indicators, a data processing unit in the central control unit calculates the correct aiming allowance point for each of the weapons, which points can be shown, on the one hand, one at a time on a common TV monitor, and, on the other hand, on a separate TV monitor for each weapon. In both cases, the field of view observed from each respective weapon by means of TV cameras mounted on the weapons, is overlaid on the TV monitor in question, such that on correct aiming of the weapons, the displayed aiming allowance point coincides with the image of the moving target. For checking that the tracing of the target is effected accurately, use is made of the image, obtained from the TV camera of the target tracer, on the common TV monitor.
