Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023174869A1] A method for operating an emergency aiming system for an artillery apparatus (105) having at least one emergency aiming drive unit (115) and an artillery unit, connected to the emergency aiming drive unit (115), for a vehicle (100) is presented, the emergency aiming system being operated at least if a main aiming system of the artillery apparatus (105) fails. The method comprises a step of providing an activation signal to an interface to an emergency aiming electronics unit, the activation signal being designed to activate the emergency aiming system, a step of reading in a setpoint signal via an interface to an acquisition device (125), wherein an alignment signal (335) containing a setpoint speed and/or a setpoint torque for a movement by the artillery apparatus (105) is computed from the setpoint signal and predefined for the at least one emergency aiming drive unit (115), and a step of outputting at least one alignment signal (335) to align the at least one emergency aiming drive unit (115) after the reading-in step (210), in order to align the artillery unit (110) with the setpoint speed represented by the alignment signal (335) and/or with the setpoint torque at least while the main aiming system (402) has failed. It is also possible to output at least one enable signal (340) to enable firing after the reading-in step, in order to align the artillery unit (110) with the position represented by the setpoint signal at least while the main aiming system has failed.
