  • Patent number: 5992292
    Abstract: A fire-control system for anti-aircraft defense systems, particularly mobile ones, having at least one launch apparatus for guided missiles that is pivotable in elevation and disposed on a platform that is pivotable in azimuth, has an optical target-tracking sensor that is rigidly coupled with the launch apparatus, a follow-up computer for panning the target-tracking sensor after targets, a directional angle computer for calculating lead and elevation of the guided missile during launch, and a control unit that has adjustment drives for the platform and launch apparatus, which unit pivots the platform in azimuth and the launch apparatus in elevation, and, prior to launch, locks the lead on the platform and the elevation on the launch apparatus.

  • Patent number: 5107117
    Abstract: An optoelectronic viewing system for imaging a field of view on a monitor includes a telescope for generating an optical image of the field of view, a scanning device for electronically scanning the optical image and an electronic evaluation unit for processing the scanning signals and displaying the image on the monitor. In order to create a field of view which is large enough for surveillance with a long-range viewing system that has sufficient resolution, a mirror system for pivoting the direction of beam incidence in the vertical and horizontal direction is placed ahead of the telescope. The mirror system is driven for reproducibly and consecutively passing through a succession of fixed predetermined pivoted positions. The scanned image signals obtained from the individual pivoted positions are combined into a field of view.
