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

A device for judging the aiming errors of a weapon system, having:

• 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 calculating the current movement state of the target, repeatedly performing a lead calculation in an instant selected as a calculation instant, in order to establish a due instant and a due position, taking into consideration the current movement state of the target and taking into consideration the speed and the internal ballistics of usable shells, in such a way that, in the due instant, a shell which was fired in the calculation instant would arrive at the due position, and the target is expected in the surroundings of the due position,
• this device further comprising:
• an image recording device, moved in solidarity with the weapon barrel, in order to record images of the target, an image reproduction device, in order to visualize the recorded images and a mark, this mark representing a point of an aiming line, a deviation of an image of the target from the mark corresponding to the aiming error of the weapon system, and
• additional software for the data processing facility, in order to make a signal available to the aiming means on the basis of the lead calculation, so that the weapon barrel is aimed at the due position in the due instant.
