Method and device for judging aiming errors of a weapon system and use of the device

A device for judging the aiming errors of a weapon system, which has a fire control device for tracking a target, a weapon having a weapon barrel, aiming means for aiming the weapon barrel, and a data processing facility having software,

• the fire control device having a sensor device, in order to measure the respective positions of the target, and
• the data processing facility being implemented for the purpose of repeatedly performing a lead calculation in order to establish a due instant and a due position and, upon reaching the due instant, making a signal available to the aiming means in order to aim the weapon barrel at the due position,
• this device having:
• an image recording device, positioned on the fire control device, to record images of the target,
• an image reproduction device, in order to visualize the recorded images and a deviation mark representing the aiming error at a deviation from a reference point,
• the data processing facility having software, in order to
• receive a position signal from the weapon, which describes an actual direction of the weapon barrel from the view of the weapon,
• taking into consideration the difference between the weapon and the fire control device, calculate an intended direction of the weapon barrel from the view of the weapon,
• calculate the difference of the actual direction and the intended direction, which corresponds to the aiming error, and make a signal corresponding to this difference available to the image reproduction device, and
• the image reproduction device being implemented for the purpose of reproducing the deviation of the deviation mark from the reference point, which may be interpreted as an aiming error, on the basis of this signal.
