Method for ascertaining position information for an effector, effector, computing unit and weapons system

A method for ascertaining position information for an effector after launching from a launcher of a weapons system having the effector and at least one mobile or stationary weapons system unit different from the effector, the method comprising:

• receiving a time synchronization signal for a time synchronization of the effector with the at least one weapons system unit for temporally synchronizing the effector and the at least one weapons system unit no later than launching of the effector;
• receiving position data of the at least one weapons system unit of the weapons system;
• receiving a timestamp with a unique assignment to the position data through a wireless communication connection after the effector has been launched;
• receiving the position data and the timestamp as a 2-tuple in a data packet or receiving the position data, the timestamp, and an identifier as a 3-tuple in a data packet;
• and
• ascertaining the position information based on the timestamp, the effector's own time upon receipt of the timestamp, and the position data assigned uniquely to the timestamp.
