This device makes it possible to increase the level of training of trainees in solving tactical and fire tasks of hitting simulated targets in a group and expanding functionality due to its use as a demonstration tool.

In addition, a device in the form of a complex simulator of tactical and fire training of a tank unit containing an instructor's workplace electrically connected with three tank crews, each of which includes modules for a commander, a gunner-operator and a driver, is known from the prior art. The simulator uses new computer technologies based on the use of the latest personal electronic computers (see Complex simulator for tactical and fire training of a tank unit. Description of a utility model for patent No. 44176 Published: 27.02.2005 Bul. No. 6. Authors: Zainulin V .K., Krasnozhen V.I., Krivonogov A.V., Tkachenko V.P. Patent holder LLC "Modernization of aviation complexes"). This device in the claimed utility model is selected as a prototype.

The design of the device of this simulator allows: to expand the functionality of the simulator, ensuring the coherence of actions of tank subunits (for example, a platoon) when solving combat (tactical and fire) tasks within the framework of combined arms combat, taking into account the tactics of enemy actions; to increase the efficiency and secrecy of training crews to perform combat missions; reduce the cost of mastering new machines that require the use of new methods and software and hardware; conduct training without consuming ammunition and vehicles.

However, the disadvantage of this device is that the use of computer technologies based on the use of the latest personal electronic computers used both in the workplaces of crews (modules) and when using the terrain editor in the form of a specialized software product does not provide real external conditions ( weather conditions, time of year and day, tactical situation), as well as the lack of control over the time of searching and hitting targets. In the existing device, only the external situation is visualized by the method of projection to the crew on video monitors.

The objective of the present invention is to create a device for improving the fire control of the crews of a tank unit, which allows: using real equipment (equipment) of the workplaces of tank commanders and gunner operators, to assess the consistency of their actions on fire control; control actions to search for targets on the ground, determining the time spent on the search, the correct choice of the most effective type of weapons and the type of ammunition to hit the targets found, to ensure the appearance of various types, both mobile and stationary targets on the ground.

The problem is solved due to the fact that in the simulator to improve the fire control of the crews of the tank unit, an automated instructor workstation, a control unit, mobile and stationary target simulators equipped with optical receivers, dynamic modules with crew workstations equipped with laser target destruction simulators are used, and all elements the devices are united by a single conductive communication line.

The technical result of the proposed invention is to ensure the training of tank commanders and gunner operators in a real situation, control the time of searching for targets on the ground, the choice of the most effective type of weapons and the type of ammunition to reliably hit the target in the selected conditions, control of the coordination of crew actions.

At the same time, the essence of the simulator operation for improving the fire control of the tank subunit crews is based on the fact that the instructor, being at the automated workplace, controls the consistency and correctness of the work of the crews located in the dynamic modules, the target search time, control of the destruction of mobile and stationary target simulators located on the ground , which he also controls using the control unit.

To improve the skills of fire control of the crews of a tank unit, a simulator is used, which contains an automated instructor's workplace, equipped with a software and hardware complex, a control unit designed to issue commands to mobile and stationary target simulators placed on the ground. Movable and stationary target simulators represent different types of targets (gunner with RPG, operator with ATGM, BMP, armored personnel carrier, tank, etc.) and are located on the ground, at different distances from dynamic modules with crew workstations. Target simulators are equipped with optical receivers capable of receiving signals in the form of laser beams from laser engagement simulators, which are mounted in the bore of the weaponry of the dynamic modules.

The dynamic module represents the workplaces of the commander and operator-gunner of a tank (tower) equipped with all controls, observation and aiming devices, an automatic loader and having the ability to perform various vibrations, imitating the movement of the tank. Communication between the crews of the unit's vehicles is carried out using radio stations. If the crew member has chosen the type of weapon and the type of ammunition for it is inappropriate for hitting the target found in these conditions, the control unit fixes the error, projecting it on the monitor screen of the automated workplace to the instructor. The time for searching and hitting a target is also determined by the control unit.

An example of how the device works. When the device is turned on from the automated workplace of the instructor 1, the control unit 2 activates movable and stationary target simulators 3 on the ground, transmitting a signal to them via electric wires 4. From the laser defeat simulator 5, located in each dynamic module with crew workstations 6, the signal in the form of a laser beam hits the optical receiver 7 of movable and stationary target simulators 3, while the hit of the beam is fixed by the control unit 2 and projected on the monitor to the instructor.

Thus, the proposed device allows, with high reliability and without significant material costs, while maintaining the resource of equipment, to ensure the possibility of teaching the correct actions of tank crews to control fire, to ensure consistency of actions, to visually display to the instructor the mistakes made by the crews in controlling the fire of tanks, to improve the quality of personnel training.
