(54) Electronic firing rate controller for remote operation of an automatic firing weapon


(57) An electronic apparatus for controlling a firing rate of an automatic firing weapon having an actuator (SDRV) adapted to operate a trigger mechanism of said weapon, said weapon exhibiting a natural free-running firing rate when triggered. The apparatus comprises an output driver means (MMV1) adapted to provide a drive signal (Q1) for said actuator (SDRV),
a first single pulse generator (AMV1) means having a single pulse output (5) coupled to an input of the driver means (MMV1) and adapted to generate a single pulse of a duration shorter than a time period of said natural free-running firing rate in response to a single pulse generator means input, and a pulse train generator means (MMV2) having a single pulse output (Q3) coupled to an input of said first single pulse generator means and adapted to provide to the first single pulse generator means (AMV1) a train of pulses spaced in time a spacing period exceeding said time period of said natural free-running firing rate in response to a pulse train generator means (MMV2) input.
