Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Lokalisierung von Artillerie- und Heckenschützen-Stellungen während deren Schußabgabe.The invention relates to an on device for locating artillery and sniper positions during their firing.

Artillerie- und Scharfschützenwaffen werden - wie aktuell bekannt ist - in Konflikten häufig unspezifisch gegen zivile Ziele eingesetzt und steilen daher ein terroristisches, bei friedenschaffenden Missionen vorrangig "auszutrocknendes" Potential dar. Wie die nahe Vergangenheit vor Augen führte, sind die Probleme zur Lokalisierung insbesondere leichter und mittlerer Artilleriewaffen - wie Mörser etc. - noch nicht gelöst.Artillery and sniper weapons - as is currently known - are often used non-specifically in conflicts against civilian targets and therefore represent a terrorist potential, which is primarily "drying out" in peace-making missions. As the recent past has shown, the problems of localization are particularly easy and medium-sized artillery weapons - such as mortars etc. - have not yet been solved.

Die Bekämpfung von Artilleriestellungen geschieht in der Regel durch Vermessen des schießenden Geschützes mit akustischen Sensoren etc. und anschließendem Beschuß. Ferner steht ein modernes Vermessungsinstrument hoher Genauigkeit in Gestalt von einem Artillerie-Beobachtungsradar zur Verfügung. Der Beschuß erfolgt im allgemeinen mit Artilleriegeschossen, Lenkflugkörper, Abwurfbomben etc. Diese Bekämpfungsmittel sind ausnahmslos von letaler Wirkung und gehen im Grunde genommen über den Rahmen der Selbstverteidigung hinaus, insbesondere für sogenannte "friedenschaffende Einheiten", wie sie beispielsweise die UN-Verbände darstellen. Deshalb wird solchen Einheiten bei einem Einsatz durchwegs eine sehr hohe Einsatzschwelle abverlangt. Wegen der vorherrschenden großen Zeitspannen zwischen terroristischem Artillerieeinsatz etc. und den Anforderungen von Bekämpfungsmaßnahmen und schließlich deren Einsatz, können diese sich unter Umständen bereits gegen falsche Ziele richten und tragen dann erheblich zur Eskalation eines weiteren Konflikts bei.Combating artillery positions is usually done by measuring the firing gun with acoustic sensors etc. and then firing at it. Furthermore, a modern measuring instrument with high accuracy is available in the form of an artillery observation radar. The shelling is generally carried out with artillery shells, guided missiles, launching bombs, etc. These means of fighting are invariably lethal and basically go beyond the scope of self-defense, especially for so-called "peace-building units" such as those represented by the UN associations. For this reason, such units are always required to have a very high deployment threshold. Because of the prevailing long periods of time between terrorist artillery use etc. and the requirements of countermeasures and finally their use, these may already be directed against wrong targets and then contribute significantly to the escalation of another conflict.

Die Anmelderin hat in der DE 42 28 539 A1 - ein aufwendiges Multisensorsystem zur Erkennung und Identifizierung von Kampfmitteln und Kampfsituationen vorgeschlagen, das für anti-terroristischen Einsatz viel zu aufwendig ist.The applicant has proposed in DE 42 28 539 A1 - a complex multi-sensor system for the detection and identification of weapons and combat situations, which is far too complex for anti-terrorist use.

Bei Heckenschützen liegen die Sachverhalte anders, sie sind nur individuell aus der Nähe bekämpfbar und haben jederzeit die Möglichkeit, sich dem Zugriff der friedenschaffenden Einheiten zu entziehen, beispielsweise durch Untertanchen in der Zivilbevölkerung.The situation is different with snipers, they can only be fought individually at close range and have the opportunity at any time to escape the access of the peacekeeping units, for example by subordinates in the civilian population.

Durch den Stand der Technik sind eine Vielzahl von Einrichtungen zur Lokalisierung und zum Schutz von Objekten bekannt, so beispielsweise aus der DE 29 00 444 eine Freigeländeüberwachungsanlage mittels Schallaufnehmer, oder aus der DE 35 04 552 eine installationslos arbeitende Alarmauslösungeinrichtung. Alle diese Objektschutzeinrichtungen sind jedoch für einen variierbaren Einsatz zur Bekämpfung terroristischer Maßnahmen wenig oder überhaupt nicht geeignet.A large number of devices for locating and protecting objects are known from the prior art, for example from DE 29 00 444 an outdoor area monitoring system by means of sound pickups, or from DE 35 04 552 an alarm triggering device which works without installation. However, all of these object protection devices are little or not at all suitable for variable use in combating terrorist measures.

Ferner ist aus der DE 35 04 552 A1 eine Vorrichtung bekannt, die gezielt akustische Signale detektiert und bei einer Übereinstimmung mit vorgegebenen Signalmustern einen Alarm auslöst. Aus der DE 28 29 239 C1 ist aus dem militärischen Bereich eine ebenfalls akustisch arbeitende Detektionseinrichtung bekannt, deren Signal jedoch zur Ausrichtung einer Waffe dient. Schließlich zeigt die DE 93 20 382 U1 ebenfalls eine u.a. akustisch arbeitende Alarmeinrichtung zur Installation in einem Gefechtsfeldfahrzeug.Furthermore, from DE 35 04 552 A1 a device is known that specifically detects acoustic signals and triggers an alarm if they match predetermined signal patterns. From DE 28 29 239 C1, a likewise acoustically operating detection device is known from the military field, the signal of which, however, serves to align a weapon. Finally, DE 93 20 382 U1 also shows u.a. acoustic alarm device for installation in a battlefield vehicle.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Einsatzmittel zu schaffen, das sowohl zur Unterstützung der Artilleriebekämpfung, als auch zur Bekämpfung von Heckschützen verwendbar ist, generell leicht und schnell verfügbar ist und die Lokalisierung in allen Fällen gewährleistet.The present invention has for its object to provide a resource that can be used both to support artillery control, as well as to combat snipers, is generally easily and quickly available and ensures localization in all cases.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 aufgezeigten Maßnahmen gelöst. In den Unteransprüchen sind Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen angegeben und in der Beschreibung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel erläutert. Die Figuren der Zeichnung ergänzen diese Erläuterungen. Es zeigen:

Der allgemeine Erfindungsgedanke sieht vor, ein speziell ausgebildetes Markierungsmittel entweder prophylaktisch an für Artillerie- oder Heckenschützenstellungen geeigneten Plätzen auszubringen, oder mit einem Verbringungsmittel an bereits bezogene, aufgeklärte Stellungen zu bringen. Solche Verbringungsmittel richten sich natürlich nach dem betreffenden Einsatz. Für Artilleriestellungen können dies beispielsweise fliegende Dispenser, Lenkflugkörper oder Minenverlegesysteme sein oder für Heckenschützen in bereits bezogenen Stellungen sogenannte Gewehrgranaten.The general idea of the invention provides for a specially designed marking means either to be applied prophylactically to locations suitable for artillery or sniper positions, or to be brought to already enlightened positions with a means of delivery. Such means of transport naturally depend on the application in question. For artillery positions, these can be, for example, flying dispensers, guided missiles or mine laying systems, or so-called rifle grenades for snipers in positions already occupied.

Die Einrichtung zur Lokalisierung von Artillerie und Heckenschützen setzt sich aus einem weitgehend beschußfesten Behälter 10 kleinen Volumens - etwa 0,5 bis 11 - mit folgenden Komponenten zusammen:

  • a) mit einem akustischen Auslösesensor ausgerüsteten Zünder 11, wobei der Sensor jeweils auf die Knallsignatur der zu bekämpfenden Geschütze, Mörser, Maschinengewehr oder gewöhnliche Schußmunition einstellbar ist, wobei bei den sogenannten "schweren Waffen" die Signaturakustik, wie sie in einem Bereich von unter 100 m Entfernung auftritt, herangezogen wird. Außerdem ist der Zünder mit einer sogenannten "Räumsperre" versehen, welche automatisch des Signalmittel auslöst, wenn ein Versuch der Wegnahme, Räumung oder Beschuß vorgenommen wird. Diese Räumsperre kann beispielsweise ein einfacher Quecksilberschalter sein.
  • b) aus einem pyrotechnischen Signalmittel, das über Bebauungs- und Bewuchsobergrenzen hinaus sichtbar ist und auch eine bestimmte Zeit - beispielsweise 15 - 30 sec - wirksam ist. Hierbei kann es sich um Leuchtkugeln mit zugehörigem Schußbecher oder um sogenanntes "griechisches Feuer" handeln.
The device for locating artillery and snipers consists of a largely bulletproof container of 10 small volumes - about 0.5 to 11 - with the following components:
  • a) equipped with an acoustic trigger sensor 11, the sensor being adjustable to the bang signature of the guns, mortars, machine guns or ordinary ammunition to be fought, the signature acoustics of the so-called "heavy weapons" as they are in a range of less than 100 m distance occurs, is used. In addition, the detonator is provided with a so-called "clearing lock" which automatically triggers the signaling means when an attempt is made to remove, clear or fire. This room lock can be a simple mercury switch, for example.
  • b) from a pyrotechnic signaling device that is visible beyond building and vegetation limits and is also effective for a certain time - for example 15-30 seconds. These can be luminous balls with associated shot cups or so-called "Greek fire".

Die vorbeschriebene Einrichtung zur Lokalisierung bzw. deren Signalmitttel zur Markierung der angesprochenen, zu überwachenden Geschütze oder Gewehre wird ausgelöst, wenn im Auffassungsbereich des Sensors 11 ein oder mehrere Schüsse abgegeben werden. Es löst jedoch nicht aus, wenn die Signatur eines detektierten Abschusses nicht der gespeicherten Signatur - Impulsverlauf, Frequenzspektrum etc. - entspricht.The above-described device for localization or its signal means for marking the addressed guns or rifles to be monitored is triggered when one or more shots are fired in the detection area of the sensor 11. However, it does not trigger if the Signature of a detected launch does not correspond to the stored signature - pulse curve, frequency spectrum, etc.

Die gespeicherte Signatur kann dabei in einer Ausführungsform variabel programmierbar, in einer zweiten Ausführungsform durch Auswahl aus verschieden eingestellten Zündern vorgebbar und in einer dritten Ausführungsform breitbandig mit Schwellwerten realisiert sein. So kann beispielsweise nur eine Auswertung tiefer Frequenzanteile zur Detektierung großer Kaliber vorgesehen werden oder hohe Frequenzen zur Detektion von Gewehrfeuer eingestellt werden.The stored signature can be variably programmable in one embodiment, can be specified in a second embodiment by selecting from differently set detonators, and in a third embodiment can be implemented in a broadband manner with threshold values. For example, only an evaluation of low frequency components for the detection of large calibers can be provided or high frequencies for the detection of rifle fire can be set.

Die weithin sichtbare optische Markierung durch ein pyrotechnisches Signalmittel ermöglicht es auch einem zahlenmäßig kleinen Beobachtungstrupp, ein großes Gebiet zu überwachen, Heckenschützen oder Artillerie etc. unmittelbar zu lokalisieren und Bekämpfungsmittel richtig emzuweisen sowie das Beobachtungsergebnis zu dokumentieren.The highly visible optical marking by means of a pyrotechnic signaling device also enables a small observation group to monitor a large area, to localize snipers or artillery etc. directly and to correctly identify the means of control and to document the observation result.

Es sind weitere Variationen möglich, so beispielweise im Falle einer individuellen Anbringung am Geschütz selbst im Zuge einer Kontrolle schwerer Waffen läßt sich mittels unterschiedlicher Gestaltung des pyrotechnischen Signalmittels - beispielsweise durch unterschiedliche oder kombinierte Farbgebung - zusätzlich ein Codiersystem realisieren. So wird beispielsweise eine einwandfreie Unterscheidung von Geschützen einer Partei von der anderen Partei gewährleistet.Further variations are possible, for example in the case of an individual attachment to the gun itself in the course of a control of heavy weapons, a coding system can additionally be implemented by means of different designs of the pyrotechnic signaling means - for example by means of different or combined colors. This ensures, for example, that the guns of one party are properly distinguished from the other party.

Bei der Ausbringung über unzugänglichen oder verteidigten Stellungen mittels Trägergeschossen oder Flugkörpern ist eine Zerstörung des jeweiligen Trägers in ausreichender Höhe über der zu überwachenden Stellung erforderlich. Dies kann mittels herkömmlicher Abstandszünder auf Radar- oder Laserbasis im Träger selbst erfolgen.When deployed over inaccessible or defended positions by means of carrier bullets or missiles, the respective carrier must be destroyed at a sufficient height above the position to be monitored. This can be done by means of conventional radar or laser based detonators in the carrier itself.
