Abstract

See full text

A method and device for judging the aiming error of a weapon system and a use of the device are disclosed. The weapon system includes a fire control device (F) for tracking a target (Z), a weapon (W) having a weapon barrel (B), aiming means for aiming the weapon barrel (B), and a data processing facility (EDV). The fire control device (F) tracks the target (Z), the data processing facility (EDV) continuously performs a lead calculation, and the weapon barrel (B) is aimed on the basis of the lead calculation. From the weapon (W), the data processing facility (EDV) receives a signal about the actual direction (.beta.eff) of the aimed weapon barrel (B) from the view of the weapon (W). It calculates the intended direction (.beta.*) for the weapon barrel (B) from the view of the weapon (W), as well as the aiming error (.rho.) as a difference between the actual direction (.beta.eff) and the intended direction (.beta.*). An image recording device (V) records images of the target (Z). An image reproduction device (M) visualizes the recorded images as well as a deviation mark (Y) in a deviation (b) from a reference point (O), this deviation (b) being correlated to the aiming error (.rho.).
