Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of target technology, and in particular relates to a target information acquisition system for analyzing a target shooting process, and a method for performing data analysis on the target shooting process by using the target information acquisition system. Background Art

[0002] In modern military construction, live-fire shooting is an important project to test the combat capability of combat units, and it is also an important way to test the damage performance of weapons and the protection performance of armor. Live-fire shooting requires detailed statistical measurement and evaluation of hit rate, weapon damage performance, armor tolerance performance, etc. There are problems such as large workload, low efficiency, and poor safety when completing these tasks manually. Therefore, the establishment of an automated target shooting process information collection system and a real-time data feedback system for weapon trajectory, damage effect, and armor status can greatly promote modern military construction.

[0003] However, the current monitoring of targets mainly relies on video images, focusing on shooting hit rate detection, and only using images to determine the accuracy of the impact point location report. It is unable to detect changes in physical states such as mechanics and thermals during the target's impact, nor can it analyze the type and intensity of attacks on the target. There is a lack of detection in terms of the destructive capability of the shooting and the degree of damage to the target's armor. Summary of the invention

[0004] In response to the problems of existing target monitoring systems, the inventors of the present invention intend to realize an information collection system that can monitor the physical state of the target and the strike information and a data processing method for the target shooting test process, so as to realize remote monitoring of the entire process of weapon shooting, collect and display the data of changes in the weapon's strikes on armor during the shooting process, and realize comprehensive monitoring data, remote wireless, and real-time recording throughout the process that can be used in combat training, strategy formulation, weapon damage testing, and armor performance analysis.

[0005] In view of this, in order to make up for the current insufficiency of target monitoring capabilities, according to one aspect of the present disclosure, a target information collection system for analyzing a target shooting process is provided, which includes:

[0006] A target system for target shooting data collection, comprising an armored equivalent target, a plurality of state monitoring sensor units mounted on the equivalent target, a data collection unit, and a wireless communication slave unit;

[0007] A terminal system for data processing and visualization, which includes a data processing unit, a display unit, a wireless communication main unit, and a database unit;

[0008] An auxiliary system that provides process assistance includes a data transmission base station and an unmanned inspection unit.

[0009] Preferably, further, in the target information collection system for analyzing the target shooting process, the armor equivalent target uses ordinary conventional materials to simulate the physical properties of equivalent armor special materials to reduce costs, and it can achieve equivalent correspondence with the special armor in terms of damage tolerance; the sensor unit includes a variety of sensors for monitoring the state of the armor target, which is used to monitor the strain, temperature, pressure and other physical states of the armor target in real time; the data acquisition unit is responsible for real-time sensor information collection and processing to obtain available armor target state data; the wireless communication slave unit is used to receive data from the data acquisition unit and upload the data through a wireless network.

[0010] Preferably, further, in the target information acquisition system for analyzing the target shooting process, the wireless communication main unit is used to receive the uploaded armored target status data and wirelessly send control commands from the data processing unit; the data processing unit is used to analyze and process the armored target status data to form a data record of the entire target shooting process, and is responsible for command control of the entire system; the display unit is used to visualize the target shooting process data record; and the database is used to store multiple target shooting process data for subsequent call analysis.

[0011] Preferably, further, in the target information collection system for analyzing the target shooting process, the data transmission base station is used to forward the data and commands of the wireless communication to enhance the quality and distance of the wireless communication; the unmanned inspection unit is used to inspect the shooting range to provide the terminal system with on-site image and video information as data supplement, and can also be used to perform tasks such as target placement and maintenance of the target system.

[0012] According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for analyzing a target shooting process is also provided, which comprises:

[0013] The weapon system attacks equivalent armor targets to simulate the attack process of real armor;

[0014] The data acquisition unit collects the physical state changes such as deformation and temperature rise of the equivalent armored target after being attacked, which causes different electrical signals generated by the monitoring sensors installed on the target, and performs preliminary analysis and processing on the sensor group signals to separate the physical information such as temperature deformation of the target;

[0015] The data acquisition unit converts the physical information into a data packet according to a preset data format, wirelessly uploads the data packet, and transmits it to the terminal system after being forwarded by the data transmission base station;

[0016] The terminal system can receive data from multiple target systems and conduct comprehensive analysis, infer information such as the weapon's strike direction and intensity from changes in the target's physical state, simulate and reproduce the strike process, and complete information collection during the shooting process.

[0017] Further preferably, during the shooting process, the unmanned inspection unit will transmit video image information back to the control terminal to assist in improving the process data. After the shooting is completed, the unmanned inspection unit can be used for site inspections to eliminate safety hazards or assist in material transportation and other tasks.

[0018] In general, the present invention uses a variety of sensors to collect the physical state changes of the target during the impact process in real time. Compared with the defect that the traditional target detection system can only feedback the hit rate information, it can realize the multi-dimensional and full-process acquisition of target deformation, temperature and other information during the shooting process. Combined with the data processing system to analyze the target state data during the test process, the visual simulation reproduces the shooting process, and can more comprehensively display the various state changes during the interaction between weapons and armor, providing data support for equipment research and development, strategy formulation, etc.

[0019] The target system is responsible for sensing and collecting target status information during the shooting process and uploading it wirelessly. Among them: the armored equivalent target is used to withstand the state changes caused by weapon strikes. By using armored equivalent targets instead of special armored targets, the target system cost is reduced while ensuring the accuracy of armor tolerance data; Among them: multiple types of sensors are used to monitor the multi-directional physical state of the armored target in real time; the data acquisition unit is responsible for collecting sensor signals to obtain armored target status data.

[0020] By adding unmanned inspection units, the image feedback function expands the visual range of the shooting process, improves the safety of the target site and the efficiency of range layout and maintenance.

[0021] The auxiliary system is responsible for providing image and data transmission, material transportation and other auxiliary work for the target shooting test process. Among them: the wireless communication base station is responsible for forwarding wireless data. It establishes a wireless connection with various wireless communication modules, including ground base stations, satellites and other systems, which are mainly used to ensure the quality of wireless communication and increase the communication range; Among them: the unmanned inspection unit conducts regular inspections of the experimental site, including drones and unmanned vehicles equipped with image return modules. The image data of the site and the target are sent to the terminal system in real time to assist in information collection and expand the monitoring range of the target shooting process; in addition, it can also assist in material transportation, target maintenance and other tasks, improving the safety of the target site and the efficiency of the target range layout and maintenance.

[0022] The terminal system is responsible for data processing and visualization, where the data processing unit is used to analyze and process the armored target status data and reproduce the shooting process. It is also responsible for command control of the entire system. The display unit is used to visualize the shooting process data records.

[0023] In summary, the present invention is used to achieve more three-dimensional and all-round monitoring of the target shooting process. By designing an armor equivalent target and installing a variety of monitoring sensors on it, the physical state of the target can be monitored and measured in real time. The measurement data is wirelessly uploaded to the control terminal through a wireless network communication unit, and the state information collection of the whole process of target shooting is realized in conjunction with information processing software, which truly reflects the interaction process between weapons and armor, thereby evaluating the shooting accuracy, weapon and armor system performance, etc. Whether it is the development and testing of new equipment or military exercises and training, collecting the interaction data between weapons and armor is of great significance to accelerating the iterative optimization of equipment, improving the level of actual combat application of equipment, and optimizing combat plans.

[0026] Below, the exemplary embodiments according to the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described here.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown in , the present invention provides a target information collection system for analyzing the target shooting process, which makes up for the current insufficient target monitoring capability, and includes a target system, an auxiliary system, and a terminal system.

[0028] Target system

[0029] The target system is used for target shooting data collection. It is mainly responsible for completing the collection of physical information of the target and its surroundings, and wirelessly sending the data to the auxiliary system or terminal system in a preset data format. The target system includes an armored equivalent target, multiple status monitoring sensor units installed on the equivalent target, a data acquisition unit, and a wireless communication slave unit.

[0030] Equivalent armor targets are made of conventional materials. The equivalence relationship between the conventional materials and special materials used in terms of damage tolerance performance is analyzed in advance. Conventional materials can be used to simulate the special armor tolerance performance, and the weapon and armor performance can be analyzed by collecting target status data, while reducing testing costs.

[0031] The sensor unit is installed on the equivalent armor target and the surrounding space to collect target status data. Specifically, multiple strain sensors, temperature sensors, and pressure sensors are used in combination. The strain sensor is attached to the back of the equivalent armor target in an array to monitor the deformation information of the armor target; the temperature sensor array attached to the equivalent armor target is used to monitor the temperature change of the armor target; the pressure sensor is installed in the area around the armor target to monitor the shock wave information generated during the shooting process. The type, quantity, installation method and location of the sensor can be adjusted according to the specific experimental requirements.

[0032] The data acquisition unit is electrically connected to the sensor unit through a wire, and includes a microprocessor, a sampling circuit, a power supply, etc. The sampling circuit can monitor the changes in the electrical signals of the sensor unit at a high sampling frequency and transmit them to the microprocessor host. The microprocessor derives the deformation, temperature, pressure and other data of the sensor position based on the electrical signals, and forms a data packet to be sent to the wireless communication slave unit.

[0033] The wireless communication slave unit is electrically connected to the data acquisition unit through a wire or a printed circuit board, and includes wireless communication modules such as a Bluetooth module and a 4G module. The wireless communication unit receives a data packet from the data acquisition unit, modulates the signal, and sends it through wireless communication.

[0037] The wireless communication main unit is connected to other communication units wirelessly and is responsible for sensing wireless signals. It can simultaneously receive data such as multiple target states and images and transmit them to the data processing unit.

[0038] The data processing unit (such as a personal computer) can process the target state data reproduction test process, including a three-dimensional model module, a strain analysis module, a temperature analysis and compensation module, a shock wave analysis module, etc. The three-dimensional model module uses image data and pre-input model data to establish a three-dimensional model of the target and the surrounding environment as a display carrier for the subsequent target state; the strain analysis module mainly processes the strain sensor array data, interpolates and predicts the array data, and combines other correction data to form a target strain cloud map and report; after receiving the temperature sensor array data, the temperature analysis module performs data prediction and completion, analyzes the target temperature distribution, forms a target temperature cloud map and report, and provides temperature compensation for other modules; after receiving the pressure sensor data, the shock wave analysis module calculates the shock wave intensity and other information based on the pressure value to form an environmental shock wave distribution model and report.

[0039] The database unit (such as a hard disk in a personal computer) is used to store the received sensor and target status data.

[0040] The display unit (such as a display screen) is used to receive data information from the data processing unit for visual display for experimenters to view, and to provide an operation interface for human task control.
