SubscribeNew scoring stations and Miss Distance Indicators (MDIs) make firing training more flexible and more realistic which is important in modern firing training.
By making use of this technology you can save money by reducing ammunition consumption and training time whilst allowing gunners and the weapon system operators get more efficient training.
CALCULATING PROJECTILE MISS DISTANCE
The shock wave generated by a passing supersonic projectile or missile is detected by the MDI, i.e. an array of pressure sensitive sensors installed on or close to the target.
The amplitude and the time differences between the different sensors are used to calculate the shortest distance between the target and the projectile (the miss distance), and in what angular position the projectile passed.
The scoring data are presented in real time on a colour graphic computer display of the scoring station. Data transmission between the MDI and the scoring station is via a radio link.
Ground based Scoring Station for calculation and presentation of realtime firing results from up to six targetssimultaneously. Windows NT basedsoftware with anSQL database.
Handy portable Scoring Station for calculation and presentation of real time firing results from up to six targets simultaneously. Ground based or for installation in the towing aircraft.
Windows NT based software with an SQL database.
GUNNERY TRAINING WITH ACOUSTICAL SCORING
Acoustical scoring gives the gunner and the weapon system operator real time information in the virtual “scoring board”. This information gives a picture of each round “hitting” the “scoring board”. The angular position of the score as well as a score too far off can immediately guide the gunner to improve his direction of fire. The improved results can be verified as they appear on the “scoring board”.
FIRING SITUATIONS
Acoustical scoring is useful for calibers from 5.56 to 5” and above and missiles (rounds need to be supersonic in the target area). Acoustical scoring can be used for all firing situations i.e. AIR to AIR, AIR to GROUND, GROUND to AIR, GROUND to GROUND, and the corresponding naval applications.
SCORING STATIONS
Mini Marque and Marque are used for collection, calculation and presentation of real time firing results.
The new scoring stations Marque and Mini Marque can receive scoring data from up to six targets (MDIs) simultaneously. The software is based on Windows NT including a SQL data base.
Features include: up to 40 m scoring range, firing rate up to 6000 rounds/minute.
MISS DISTANCE INDICATORS (MDIs)
Zone, 4- and 12-sector models as well as vector models are available for all type of targets and UAVs.
New 12-sector universal sleeve target MDI. The new universal type allows firing from any direction. Battery powered with a capacity of 6 hours operation. Telemetry frequency in
the 400 – 470 MHz band.
The new universal 12 sector MDI gives the possibility to fire at a target (MDI) coming from any direction. The target towing operator/UAV operator can offer any target courses during the same mission.
New 12-sector universal MDI for stiff targets and/or UAVs. Same performance as for
AS-131/12U.
