Patent Searching and Data


Title:
武器銃身の熱補償を実施するための装置および方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2014521910
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A device and a method for performing thermal compensation of a weapon barrel of a gun having at least one weapon barrel which is mounted in a barrel cradle and in a barrel support as a prolongation of the barrel cradle. A plurality of temperature sensors are integrated into the barrel cradle and the barrel support and are connected via data lines to a data box. The data box is connected to a data processing device, which acts on actuators of the gun. The temperature at the barrel cradle and the barrel support is measured by temperature sensors. The temperature difference between upper and lower sides and right-hand and left-hand sides of the barrel cradle and the barrel support are determined. The barrel inclination is then calculated from these values, and the barrel inclination is then compensated by adjusting the orientation of the weapon barrel in its azimuth and/or elevation.
