Abstract: A method for operating a ground-based anti-aircraft system includes providing a group of main system components containing a sensor system, a tactical operation control and an effector system. Combat target sensor data are passed from the sensor system to the tactical operation control, processed therein and passed in processed form from the tactical operation control to the effector system, using the data to combat the target. A central integration module having a converter unit and a central data distributor allows differently constructed main system components to be connected. Data from all main system components are routed to the central data distributor by the converter unit and converted therein from component protocol into system-internal data protocol, and passed from the central data distributor to one or more main system components, through the converter unit, converting the distributed data back from system-internal data protocol into component protocol.

Abstract: A gas-friction vacuum meter has, in addition to the magnetic system for contactlessly suspending the gas sensor, a device for measuring the actual inclination of the rotation axis of that sensor and corrects the measured value for the inclination by comparison of the output signal of this device with an Eddy-current conditioned braking value obtained for a certain inclination angle of the rotation axis.

Abstract: In order to stabilize a body born contactlessly in the magnetic field of a stator, there is a magnetic bearing regulator which influences the magnetic field between magnetizable components in the stator and magnetizable components of the body. The bearing unit consists of at least two electric coils connected in series which, as a pair of coils, act as both a position sensor and an electromagnetic adjuster. In order to attain great reliability with a simple and economical construction, the two outer ends of the pair of coils (2,3) are each connected to an output of an amplifier (4,5) and one of the two amplifiers (5) supplies the inverted output signal of the other (4). A high-frequency signal is applied to the inputs of both amplifiers (4,5) by an oscillator (7) which feeds into the pair of coils (2,3) via the amplifiers (4,5) and received between the two coils via a high pass filter (12) by a phase-sensitive rectifier (8) which is in synchronism with the high-frequency signal from the oscillator (7).

Abstract: A movement detection system for use in measuring movements of a rotating body or shaft which is magnetized along an axis which is angularly displaced from the mechanical axis of rotation thereof. The system has a plurality of inductive coils which are connected to produce signals proportional to the movements of the body or shaft while suppressing spurious noise signals.

Abstract: For measurement of gas pressure a gas-friction vacuum meter is used in whose measuring head a rotating body is suspended in a magnetic field contact-free between electromagnetic drive coils. The rotating body is set in motion with the aid of the drive coils and maintained at a rotational speed above a preset minimum rotational speed. The speed reduction of the rotating body occurring on account of gas friction is continually or intermittently balanced with current flows from a three-phase generator to the drive coils. In the measuring head rotational speed sensors are arranged and positioned, which detect and respond to the rotational frequency of the rotating body, and further transmit output signals to an electronic analyzer unit, which determines the pressure from the timely change of the rotation frequency.

Abstract: A rotary measuring body for a gas-friction vacuum meter has its surface formed with a macroscopic roughness which provides a gas-friction coefficient minimally affected by the microscopic roughness of the surface. As a result, the output signal and sensitivity of the vacuum meter is high and is less susceptible to change as a result of surface corrosion.
