Intelligent system for controlling functions in a combat vehicle turret

A system for controlling turret functions of a land-based combat vehicle, comprising:

• a plurality of image detection sensors configured to record sequences of images having an at least partial view of a 360° environment of the land-based combat vehicle (4);
• at least one virtual, augmented or mixed reality headset configured for being worn by an operator, the headset being configured to present the at least partial view of the environment of the land-based combat vehicle on a display, the headset including a direction sensor configured to track an orientation of the headset imparted during a movement of a head of the operator and eye tracking means configured to track eye movements of the operator;
• a control unit, comprising at least one computing unit and configured to receive as input and process:
• images supplied by the plurality of image detection sensors;
• headset position and orientation data supplied by the direction sensor;
• eye position data supplied by the eye tracking means;
• wherein the control unit is configured to compute an augmented view at least based on the images and headset position and orientation data, the augmented view being displayed for the operator by the headset;
• wherein the control unit is configured to determine parameters of a target selected by the operator—at least based on eye data, the control unit being configured to compute at least one firing parameter and the control unit being configured to transmit the at least one firing parameter to a turret weapon controller;
• wherein the control system comprises at least one firing request detector configured to supply a firing request signal by the operator, and
• wherein the at least one virtual reality headset comprises at least one additional image detection sensor configured to record sequences of images of the environment inside the land-based combat vehicle, the control system being configured to receive data associated with the images of the inside environment and to display the data in the augmented view upon request by an operator.
