Description

The invention relates to the field of military equipment, in particular to educational and training means for training crews of military tracked vehicles.

There are varieties of individual and group simulators for training crews of military tracked vehicles, created and operating on their own platform (base), which repeats or simulates real combat vehicles. These simulators are equipped with software that simulates the tasks performed. Thus, students undergo training on military equipment that simulates the performance of combat missions.

These simulators have several disadvantages:

during the training of the crew, it is necessary to take into account the error in simulating simulator conditions for the conditions of a combat vehicle;

field and stationary simulators have a high cost of manufacturing, installation and maintenance;

stationary simulators tie the trained personnel to the object on which they are mounted (training center, training class).

The objective of the invention is to provide the possibility of training the crews in conditions as close as possible to the fighting, in a real combat vehicle, temporarily transformed into a simulator, on which later the same crew will perform combat missions. At the same time, the resource of the machine and ammunition are not spent, the funds necessary for the production, installation and maintenance of expensive stationary simulators are saved.

The technical solution for the implementation of the proposed invention is:

1. Installation on all optical observation devices of the machine, triplexes and sights of adapted liquid crystal monitors connected to a portable computer. Adaptability of monitors consists in their settings, which allow using the optical monitoring devices of the machine to see the image of monitors.

2. Connecting to a portable computer standard tank headsets with laryngophones to enable the crew to communicate, to play during training, the sound effects of a tactical environment and work.

3. Manning crew members' jobs with virtual gloves with three-dimensional positioning sensors that transmit information about the movements of the operator’s hands to a portable computer. In this case, the initial and final positions of significant hand movements (key switchings, button presses, movements with levers and hand wheels) must be entered into the computer memory at the stage of setting up the simulator.

4. Equipping the control pedals in place of the driver with pressure sensors with the output of information on a portable computer.

5. Equipping a portable computer with a combat simulation program. At the same time, during the work of the operators on the simulator, the information input device for this program will be sensors for three-dimensional positioning of virtual gloves, pedal pressure sensors, which allow practicing the combat exercises of the crew of this machine.

6. Completing portable computers with network adapters to provide the ability to communicate with other tactical simulators and to complete training tasks together by modeling on a common server the tactical actions of the unit on military tracked vehicles.

The technical result of the proposed invention is the development of exercises by trained personnel on their regular military tracked vehicles without consuming their resources.

The procedure for training on the simulator. The head of the lesson sets an exercise for the crew of a combat vehicle on a portable computer or a group exercise for a unit on the server in the program menu. Crew members, using optical observation devices of the machine and tank headsets, see and hear the virtual environment. With the help of virtual gloves and pedal pressure sensors, the crew uses the controls of the machine, while the machine is not started. The pedal pressure sensors and virtual gloves, in contact with the control devices of the machine, send signals to the portable computer about the various controls of the combat vehicle involved, which processes them and builds virtual actions on the monitors. On the monitor of a portable computer displays the task performed by the trainees and the progress of its execution for monitoring by the head of the lesson.

After classes, the simulator is easily removed, monitors are removed from the external part of the machine’s optical observation devices, pressure sensors are removed from the pedals, headsets and virtual gloves are turned off, the machine is ready to complete the tasks.

The invention is illustrated in FIG. 1, which shows a diagram of the device of the simulator-transformer, where: 1 - portable computer; 2 - adapted LCD monitor; 3 - optical device for monitoring the machine (triplex or sight); 4 - tank headset; 5 - virtual gloves; 6 - pressure sensors on the pedals of the driver’s mechanic.
