Description

 Method for simulating an extended range of action of a projectile

Known weft simulation systems consist of a first component associated with the weapon and a second component intended for target objects

Component. The component connected to the weapon determines the location of target objects and transmits information to the provided on the target objects, equipped with a receiver second component. With some such

Shot simulation systems, taking into account the ballistics of a real projectile, determine the trajectory and impact point of a simulated projectile to convey to the appropriate target information about the point of impact of the simulated shot and the projectile type.

The design of the components connected to the weapon (hereafter

Simulation device) and the methods that can be suitably carried out depend essentially on whether they are so-called one-way or two-way systems and how a target object is detected and appropriate.

Methods and simulation facilities for shot simulation, based on the so-called one-way system, allow a simple shot simulation without

Replica of projectile ballistics. In such methods, a modulated

Laser beam emitted in an aligned parallel to the line of sight of the weapon axis and detected by provided on a target target receiver. With the modulation of the laser beam, certain information can be transmitted to the target, the z. B. relates to the simulating bullet. Target objects illuminated by the laser beam signal a hit. Such a method is z. B. from the

WO 00/53993 A1.

A method for shot simulation with a simulation device based on the so-called two-way system is known from DE 10 2007 014 290 A1. In this method, via different laser channels to each other and to

Sight line of the weapon aligned laser beams emitted. The single ones

Laser channels of the weft simulator are arranged at a fixed angle to each other. The angles are consistent with the attachment angle of the weapon for a range of ammunition effect associated with the type of ammunition. In a first step

CONFIRMATION COPY Distance measurement with all laser channels to targets equipped with triple mirrors. Goals with a triple mirror and a

Receivers are equipped, are referred to as target objects. For the transmission of information to the target object, precisely one laser channel assigned to the target distance is used. The target objects illuminated by the laser beam signal a hit. This method with a two-way system allows the simulation of projectile ballistics.

Simulation devices based on a two-way system can also be embodied as scanning devices, as described in US Pat. No. 4,218,138 or DE 29 07 590 A1. Known simulation facilities of this type or methods that can be carried out have in common that the location of a destination

Reflection signals of an emitted and scanning over the solid angle range laser beam can be obtained and a directed on this target object shot is simulated. In some of the methods, information about the relative position of the point of impact of the simulated projectile on the determined location of the target object is transported by modulation of this laser beam. Correspondingly, such devices have at least one deflection device, one transmission unit and one receiver unit. Information on the relative position of the point of impact of the simulated projectile can also be sent to determined spatial positions of further target objects in the solid angle range. From the relative position of the

Impact point to the location of the targeted target or another

Target object can then be computationally derived whether the simulated projectile has theoretically caused an effect on the targeted target object or another target object.

From DE 29 07 589 C2 a method and a scanning device are known with which information to selected target objects in a given

Solid angle range can be transmitted. The facility includes a

pivotable deflection device which is fixedly connected to a transmitting unit and a receiver unit. The transmitting unit is designed so that it emits at least two fan-shaped beam, which in a conventional manner z. B. each with a laser diode or both are generated with a laser diode in conjunction with deflection prisms. The fixed to each other, separately controllable beam scan through a preferably periodic pivotal movement of the deflector from a horizontally and vertically extended solid angle range, in the vertex, the deflection is. Usually, the solid angle range is completely scanned by a zigzag change in the scanning direction.

The target objects located in the solid angle range are each provided with at least one reflector which reflects a beam coming from the transmitting unit into itself so that it impinges on the receiver unit of the device and the distance of the target object can be derived, as well as a receiver preferably arranged next to the reflector for receiving beams from which information can be derived. If the derived distance lies within a predetermined distance interval for which special information is stored in an information memory, a control device, which also stores the information

Coordinate deflection of the beam, for the fact that the special information is supplied to a coder, which in turn ensures that the emitted beam is pulsed or modulated according to this information, d. H. the special information is transmitted to the beam. The transmission lasts as long as it is detected by the receiver at the destination. Although not explicitly mentioned, the expert reads that he is from the horizontal and vertical

Angular position of the deflector upon detection of a distance by reflection at a target object and the angle which the beams enclose with each other, as well as the pivoting speed on the position of the reflecting target in

Solid angle range can close.

Thus, the components of a weft simulation system, which for the

Information transmission are provided, are compatible with each other, is the

Wavelength, which is the component provided on the weapon

(Simulation device) and which forms a crucial interface, prescribed. The disadvantage here is that the range of the device is determined by the prescribed wavelength for the laser beams. The maximum possible transmission power for the eye-safe operation of the simulation system represents a limitation with respect to the distance measurement in existing systems. A further disadvantage is that the pulse rate for distance measurement, because

Overlaps with the value range of the information can not be changed arbitrarily. These two drawbacks for a device of the aforementioned

DE 29 07 589 C2 are given for a device according to the

DE 10 2011 001 713 B3 fixed. A device described in DE 10 2011 001 713 B3 differs from the above-mentioned one in particular in that, combined with a deflection device, it has two transmitter units which

Emitting beams of different wavelengths, which in particular a higher range is possible.

Send both transmit units, equal to the one transmitting unit of the aforementioned

DE 29 07 589 C2, two fan-shaped beam from, each with a longitudinal and a transverse axis transverse to the emission direction. The two longitudinal axes enclose an angle with each other, which is advantageously 90, wherein the bisector is perpendicular to the scanning direction. The first transmitting unit and the

Receiver unit are for detection, distance measurement and

Position detection of target objects within the solid angle range. The

Distance measurement takes place, for. B. equal to the aforementioned DE 29 07 589 C2, via a transit time measurement of laser pulses, which are emitted by the first transmitting unit. In addition, required for a position indication

Solid angle coordinates are obtained by knowing the current pivot position of the deflection device at the time of receiving a reflex signal from a target. The determined position is stored in order to follow this position

To send information.

The second transmission unit is used only for information transmission to the receiver of the detected target object, wherein the information transmission as well as according to the aforementioned DE 29 07 589 C2.

Since the desired information transmission usually comprises three components, the projectile type and the two angular coordinates of the current storage of the simulated projectile, preferably three radiation bundles are emitted by the second transmission unit. The third beam is preferably between the other two of the second transmitting unit emitted, fan-shaped Beams emitted perpendicular to the scanning direction. The three beams of the second transmitting unit are respectively modulated according to the information to be transmitted for the transmission of information.

To a certain information to the detected target object and only to this

To transmit target object, the beams are sent out exactly when they illuminate the stored position of the target object. Since the bundles of rays have a large extent of the longitudinal axis, other target objects in the solid angle range could be applied simultaneously with the detected target. For this reason, at least one of the beams must also be detected by the target, which is equipped with a receiver, so that the transmitted

Information is awarded to the target.

The advantage of using two transmitting units is, in particular, that they can emit laser beams of different wavelengths. The

Receiver unit on the deflector and the receivers on the targets can then be designed so that they are sensitive only to the wavelength they are intended to receive.

As already explained, the information transmission takes place in the devices according to the aforementioned DE 29 07 589 C2 and the aforementioned DE 10 2011 001 713 B3 in the same way to a determined position of a target object. And it is ensured that individual target objects in the solid angle range receive only information intended for them.

In all the above-mentioned, known from the prior art solutions in which information of a simulated point of impact of a projectile are sent to target objects, computationally, taking into account the sphere of action of a projectile to be simulated, it must be calculated whether a target object was destroying, partially or not hit. Explosive projectiles, in particular, can have effect ranges of different diameters depending on the type. By doing

Information about the bullet type can be transmitted, can be computationally

Range of action of the simulated projectile are observed. This means that a target object is considered hit even if the point of impact is within one of the

Store type dependent predetermined distance to the target object is located. A Such a computational simulation of a range of effects not only requires a high computational effort, but requires in particular that the information required for this purpose is transmitted to the target objects.

US Pat. No. 7,001,182 B2 discloses a method for simulating a range of action of a projectile. According to this method, a range of action is simulated by means of a transceiver unit. By directing a laser beam onto this transmitter-receiver device or expanding it in such a way that it is exposed to laser radiation when aiming at a target object located nearby, its transmitter is activated and a hit signal is emitted. That means that

Impact range is simulated from the destination where it is actually supposed to be created, so that only on this destination a simulated shot can be delivered. Such a method has, except for the use of laser radiation, no

Similarities with the subject of the application.

The aforementioned US Pat. No. 7,001,182 B2 is based on a state of the art according to which a larger surface is scanned in order to simulate explosive projectiles with the laser device in the targeted area, ie. H. the laser beam is z. B. zigzagged over a given area to activate detectors in the equipment of equipment and practice participants in the area of action.

The method disclosed in DE 29 07 589 C2 is called as the

process according to the invention considered the most obvious method.

It is the object of the invention to find a method with which an extended range of action of a projectile around its simulated impact point can be simulated, which in its extent is flexibly adaptable to a given projectile type. In this case, the extent of the area of action should be made the same size regardless of the distance of the target object to which the simulated shot was directed, or the impact point. To be advantageous

different extents of the range of action, as for

different types of shoots may be different, with a same Laser power and a same optical arrangement of a transmitting unit be simulated.

The object of the invention is achieved by a method in which with a

Simulation device, a solid angle range is scanned in a scanning direction in which there is at least one target object. The simulation device has a deflection device with a transmitting unit, which is designed to be controllable independently of one another, having at least two fan-shaped beam bundles enclosing an angle, each having a beam axis, in which

Emit radiation direction.

One of the target objects determined in the solid angle range is targeted, a simulated shot is directed at this targeted target object and the impact point of the simulated projectile is calculated with reference to a coordinate system of the simulation device.

It is essential to the invention that subsequently to the point of impact of a simulated projectile a transversal to the emission direction and in the emission direction extended range of action is simulated. This is done by the at least two

Beam during the scanning of the solid angle range each within a selected depending on the distance of the impact point

Send angle range are sent around the point of impact, so that the

Beams around the point of incidence illuminate overlapping illumination fields and the cross-section of the illumination fields simulates the cross-section of an area extending transversely to the emission direction, whereby the radiation bundles of all optionally located in the area of action

Target objects are detected.

Advantageously, the transmitting unit transmits exactly two fan-shaped beams and the angle bisector of the angle is perpendicular to the scanning direction, whereby a symmetrical simulated effective range (4) can be formed. In the optimal case, the angle is 90.

The transverse extent of the area of action is determined by its cross section in a scanning plane at the distance of the impact point. It is advantageous if the deflection and thus the bundle axes of the

Beam bundles that span the central plane bisecting the scan field are tilted vertically before the area of action is formed so that the point of impact lies on the center plane, whereby a maximum cross-section of the effective area for the deflection device can be formed.

In order to be able to transmit different information to the at least one target object within the simulated effective range if required, the beam bundles are differently modulated as information carriers.

In order to transmit more information, three fan-shaped beams are advantageously emitted, the two outer of the three fan-shaped

Contain the angle with each other and the bisector of the angle, perpendicular to the scanning direction (R) standing, coincides with the third beam, and the transmission angle range over which the third beam is emitted, is smaller than the transmission angle ranges, on the other two of the three beams are emitted.

The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments and a drawing. Herein show:

Illumination fields at a distance, as well as the cross section of the simulated area of effect, formed by the average area in which all illuminated illumination fields are superimposed.

For carrying out the method, simulation devices, as known from the prior art by the aforementioned DE 29 07 589 C2 and the aforementioned DE 10 2011 001 713 B3, can be used.

Such simulation devices each have a deflection device 1 with a special transmission unit 2, see FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, with a solid angle range, in a scanning direction R by pivoting the deflection device 1 via a

Pivoting angle range ß with at least two fan-shaped, an angle α with each other enclosing beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 can be scanned.

While the scanning device is swiveled over the swivel angle range β, the transmitting unit 2, as shown in FIG. 2, in the simplest case transmits a first fan-shaped radiation beam 2.1 with a beam axis 2.1.1 via a beam

Transmission angle range γι to a point of impingement P, and a second fan-shaped beam 2.2, with a beam axis 2.2.1, over a transmission angular range γ ₂ to the impact point P from. The cross sections of the two beams 2.1, 2.2 are linear and each have a longitudinal axis of long dimension and a

Transverse axis of short dimension, which extend with increasing distance depending on the divergence. The longitudinal axes enclose an angle α with each other and the bisector 5 of the angle α is perpendicular to the scanning direction R.

In addition, with a transmitting unit 2, as shown in FIG. 3, at least one additional, in this case a third, beam bundle 2.3 can be transmitted through the transmission angle range γ ₃ around the point of impingement.

With the pivoting of the transmitting unit 2 over a swivel angle range ß

sweep the beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, as shown in Fig. 6, respectively

Transmission angle ranges γι, γ ₂ , Y3 within the solid angle range. In this case, as shown in Fig. 5, a scan field 6 dependent on the distance of the impact point P dependent Size, since its distance-dependent height of the angle α and the divergence of the beam 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 is determined in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The

Bundle axes 2.1.1, 2.2.1, 2.3.1 span the respective scan field 6 halving center plane M on.

Advantageously, the angle α is equal to 90, so that a simulated to the bisector 5 and the center plane M simulated effective range 4 can be simulated. The longitudinal axis of the third fan-shaped beam 2.3 is advantageously aligned perpendicular to the scanning direction R and arranged in particular on the bisecting line 5, see FIG. 3 and FIG. 4.

By choosing the angle α, the shape of the cross-section Q of the simulated effective region 4 in a plane perpendicular to the center plane M and thus transversely to the emission direction S can be specified. The simulated area of effect 4 is formed in its transverse extent by the beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 are each emitted only over a selected transmission angular range γι, γ2 Y3, and thus each form an illumination field. The area in which the illumination fields of all beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 overlap limits the simulated area of action 4 in its transverse extent to the emission direction S. In the emission direction, the area of action 4 can be defined by specifying a

Distance range to the impact point P be limited.

About the deflection speed of the deflector 1 in conjunction with the duration of the emission of the first and the second fan-shaped beam 2.1, 2.2, the size of the cross-section Q, in a plane perpendicular to

Center level M, the simulated extended range of action 4 are given.

In this case, the duration of the emission of the individual beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 be the same or different lengths, whereby the beam 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 are sent over the same size or different sized transmission angle ranges γι _, γ2 Y3 and equal or different sized lighting fields in one same scan field 6 illuminate. Cross-sectional shape and cross-sectional size determine the transverse extent of the simulated area of action 4.

A target object, which must not only be the targeted target object to which a simulated shot has been aimed, may then be within the simulated target

Range of action 4 are when it is successively acted upon by all the beams 2.1, 2.3, 2.3.

If only the area of action 4 is to be simulated with the radiation beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and information is not also advantageously transmitted, then the

Beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 be unmodulated. The control engineering effort and the hardware costs compared to the prior art are thus reduced. However, the beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 are advantageously modulated, in particular differently modulated, in order to transmit, in addition to their primary function according to the invention, the formation of the simulated zone of action 4, in a second function, information, in particular different information, to target objects within the simulated zone of action 4 , If the range of action in the emission direction S is limited by the specification of a distance range ΔΕ around the point of impingement P (see Fig. 4), it can be communicated by transmitting the distance of supposed target objects to them that they are actually in the simulated effective range 4 or not in the simulated effective range Area of action 4 are located. Instead, the simulated area of action 4 may also be limited by the sensitivity limits of the receiver unit 3.

Advantageously, a method according to the invention should not only simulate an extended range of action around the impact point P of a simulated projectile, but also determine the impact point P, determined by the position of the targeted target object, to which the simulated shot is directed.

For this purpose, a receiver unit 3 must be provided at the deflection device 1, as known from the prior art, see FIGS. 1 and 3. It detects portions of the emitted radiation beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 which are reflected by target objects As is known, the spatial position of target objects is determined before a selected target object is targeted, a shot is simulated on this targeted target object and an impact point P is calculated for the simulated bullet so that an impact area 4 can be simulated around the impact point P. Basically the spatial position of the target objects can also be determined in any other way and stored relative to a coordinate system of the deflection device.

In such a case, in which the beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 are not needed to determine the position, the simulated area of action 4 could basically be simulated with only the third fan-shaped beam 2.3 whose

Longitudinal axis would then advantageously aligned perpendicular to the scanning direction R. In the simplification made, the longitudinal axis would thus be aligned vertically. The only one beam 2.3 would then, while it covers a dependent of the determined distance transmission angle range γ ₃ passes around the point of impingement P, are emitted. However, the area of action 4 can thus be simulated in its transverse extent only in the horizontal direction regardless of the distance. The expansion in the vertical direction is determined by the divergence in the direction of the major axis of the third fan-shaped beam 2.3 and would not be so

can be simulated independently of distance. In addition, then only one would be

Information transferable.

A transmission unit 2 suitable for carrying out the method is, as explained, known from the prior art. There, it is exactly then driven and the fan-shaped beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 with information for the particular

Target object modulated when the beams 2.1, 2.3 or 2.3 hit the previously determined position of a targeted target. This ensures that only the targeted target object detects all the radiation beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and thus receives the information modulated onto the individual radiation beams 2.1, 2.3, 2.3 that is intended for this target object. As already explained, two fan-shaped beams 2.1, 2.2 enclosing an angle α with each other are required for this purpose. An advantageous existing third fan-shaped beam 2.3, or more

Beams, are carriers of further information and can confirm the position determined in timely correct transmission.

In an inventive simulation of an area of action 4, the number of beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and the angle α between the longitudinal axes of the beam 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 co-determining for the cross-section Q. So can with two Beam bundles 2.1, 2.2 a rectangular cross section Q, see Fig. 5, and with three beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 a hexagonal cross section Q, see Fig. 6, are formed.

With the simulation of an area of action 4, all target objects that lie within the simulated area of action 4 are acted upon by all the bundles of rays 2.1, 2.2, 2.3. The area of action 4 is preferably formed symmetrically around the impact point P of the simulated projectile. To one also in the vertical direction

As already explained, at least two fan-shaped beams 2.1, 2.2 enclosing an angle with one another are required to simulate range of action 4 independent of distance. If the two bundles of rays 2.1, 2.2 advantageously form an angle of 90 with one another, then a simulated zone of action 4 with a quadratic cross-section Q can be formed, as shown for example in FIG. 5 at two different distances of the point of impingement Ei and E2.

At the distance Ei is the impact point P1 of a simulated projectile, around which an area of action 4 has been formed by the first and second fan-shaped beams 2.1, 2.2 sweeping over an equal size

Transmission angle range γι, γ2 were emitted. An equally large area of effect 4 was around the impact point P2 of another simulated projectile in the

Distance E2 simulated by the two beams 2.1, 2.2 were sent out when sweeping a correspondingly smaller same sized transmission angle range Y1 Y2. In this case, the two beams 2.1, 2.2 are transmitted offset in time over a same period of time.

At a constant scanning speed is for in different

Distances of the impact point P equal simulated formed

Impact ranges 4 requires an approximately equal laser power when the

Beams 2.1, 2.2 depending on distance with greater intensity for a short time and vice versa, that is, with low intensity longer, to be emitted.

Of course, target objects that lie in front of or behind the simulated area of effect 4 are also illuminated. Practically, however, it can be assumed that the targeted target object, on which a simulated shot is aimed, in the

Radiation direction of the beam 2.1, 2.2 nearest target object is. Further remote target objects do not detect the beams 2.1, 2.2 then, if the incident intensity is below a threshold value of the receiver unit 3, which is why the simulated area of action 4 in the direction of radiation also over the

Sensitivity of a receiver of the receiver unit 3 can be controlled.

As is known, for sweeping simulation with a deflection device 1, which is equipped with a transmission unit 2 and a receiver unit 3 described above, a solid angle range is scanned during a pivoting movement. In this case, the horizontal and vertical angular position of the deflection device 1 is known at the times of the reception of reflection signals.

For carrying out a method according to the invention in accordance with a first advantageous exemplary embodiment, a weft simulation device with a deflection device 1 on which a transmitting unit 2 and a receiver unit 3 are provided, see FIG. 1, is provided. The transmitting unit 2 can emit exactly two fan-shaped beams 2.1, 2.2. The

Weft simulation device is set up so that it can scan a solid angle region of interest with an at least approximately horizontal pivoting movement with a scanning direction R changing in the sense direction.

In a first method step, target objects are detected in the solid angle region in a known manner and their position is detected. These are the

Beams 2.1, 2.2 continuously transmitted during the pivoting movement. When sweeping a target object, that is a provided with a triple mirror target, the beams are 2.1, 2.2 in succession, each in a specific horizontal and vertical angular position of the deflector 1 in itself, reflected on the receiver unit 3, and reflection signals are formed. About the, z. B. from the duration of the reflection signals, determined distance and the horizontal and vertical angular position of the deflector 1 at the time of receiving the reflection signals, the position of the target object based on a

Coordinate system of the simulator device determined and stored. After a target object has been located within the solid angle range and its position has been detected, a shot can be simulated directed to this target object. It should According to the invention, an area of action 4 of a real projectile is taken into account by a simulated area of action 4.

In reality, the sphere of action of a projectile, z. B. one

Explosion body, around a point of impact at least approximately equal radial extent, regardless of the distance.

In order to obtain as even a transverse extension of the simulated

Area of action 4 to achieve in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the direction of radiation, the fan-shaped beams 2.1, 2.2 emitted when passing the impact point P depending on the distance of a point of impact P temporally so long that the light of all beams 2.1, 2.2 illuminated

Overlap region has a symmetrical extent about the impact point P.

In particular, the effect of a projectile on further target objects located around the targeted target object can be simulated by the simulated effective region 4 since the radiation bundles 2.1, 2.2 of all are simulated within the simulated region

Detected area 4 target objects are detected. If the simulated shot is correctly aimed at an aimed target object, the impact point P and the determined position of the targeted target object coincide.

A symmetrical area 4 which is symmetrical to the center plane M can be simulated if the deflecting device 1 is aligned in accordance with the point of impingement P such that the point of impingement P lies on the middle plane M. If the determined impact point P is not exactly coincidental on the center plane M, the deflecting device 1 can be tilted vertically during the scanning movement to achieve this. It can then be comparatively simulated an area of action 4 with a maximum horizontal transverse extent.

In order to simulate the effective range 4, the radiation beams 2.1, 2.2 are each emitted over a period of time in which they at least partially cross over an area extended by the impact position P as a function of the distance of the targeted target object and the deflection speed. Starting from the sphere of action of a real projectile, z. From one

Diameter of 20 m, should be the transverse extent of the simulated

Range of action 4 equal to 20 m.

At a distance of the targeted object of z. B. 500 m would then give a horizontal transmission angle range - _\ equal to γ ₂ of 7. The longitudinal axis of the beam would be at a divergence of z. B. 30 mrad at the distance of 500 m equal to 15 m.

If, as already mentioned, the simulation device is set up so that the center plane M is guided over the impact point P when the deflection device 1 is pivoted, the emission of the radiation beams 2.1, 2.2 begins, respectively, when their beam axes 2.1.1, 2.2. 1 in a horizontal angular position of 3.5 in front of the horizontal angular position of the impact point P and ends when their horizontal angular position 3.5 is behind the horizontal angular position of the impact point P.

By the transmission angular range γι, v ₂ as a function of the distance of the

Impact point P is adjusted, regardless of the distance of the

Impact point P, an area of action 4 with an equal transversal

Extension can be simulated.

In Fig. 5 are in two different distances Ei, E2 the pictures of

Beam bundles 2.1, 2.2 shown at different times that limit the respective simulated area of action 4 in the transverse direction. It can be clearly seen that at the times ti, t ₂ , t ₃ , which limit the emission of the beams 2.1, 2.2 at the greater distance E2, an area of action 4 with a larger square cross-section Q is simulated than in the shorter one Distance egg would be formed. In order to form in the shorter distance Ei a cross-section Q, and thus in its transverse extent, the same effective range 4 as in the distance E ₂ , the control of the radiation beam 2.1, 2.2 emitting transmitting unit 2 takes place at the earlier times ti _-x , t _3-x and at later times t2 _{+ x} , In Fig. 6 of three beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, the positions are shown with respect to the impact point P, in which the transmission begins and ends. Because the vertical beam 2.3 compared to the other two

Beams 2.1, 2.2 a smaller horizontal transmission angle range Y3

sweeps it cross section Q of the area of action 4 and thus contributes to the cross-sectional shape of the area of action 4 at.

In Fig. 7, the image of the beam 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 during the

Pivoting movement in scanning direction R at different times. An actual mapping takes place only if the beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 are also transmitted at the respective times, which is indicated assigned to the times ti- ΐβ. Illustrations shown as a double line here stand for beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, which are not sent out at the time in question or whose transmission is terminated at this time. The images shown as thick solid line represent beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, straight

be sent out or their sending begins at this time. Each of the beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 thus illuminates between the time of switching on and off an illumination field whose position and width in the scanning direction R is determined by the times of switching on and off and the scanning speed. The overlapping area formed by the overlapping of all the illumination fields determines the cross-section Q of the effective area 4 in a transverse plane.

That is, the beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 can be independent of each other

be driven, temporally successively or overlapping in time, each point within the ultimately resulting cross-section Q of the simulated area of action 4, as shown by a dashed line, is shown at the time te, is illuminated by the beams 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.

In the cross section Q of a simulated area of action 4 shown in FIG. 7, the third fan-shaped beam 2.3 does not act on the cross-sectional shape Q, unlike the simulated area of action 4 shown in FIG. 6, but only serves to transmit information to all target objects in the area of action 4th LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
