DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ASSESSING A POTENTIAL TARGET
First Claim
1. A method for assessing, from a firing unit, a potential target for said firing unit, comprising the steps of:
- visually observing said potential target through direction means;
initiating measuring of a range from said firing unit to the potential target by means of delivering an identifiable signal;
at said potential target, receiving and analysing said signal, said analysis comprising establishing at least one parameter selected from the group consisting of power, frequency, and durability configuration of said signal, characterized by the steps of;
comparing said at least one parameter with parameter indications stored in advance;
on agreement, establishing that the firing unit belongs to own troop; and
delivering a visual signal from the potential target.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for assessing, from a firing unit (101), a potential target (102) for said firing unit, comprising the steps of:—visually observing said potential target (102) through direction means;—initiating measuring of a range from said firing unit (101) to the potential target (102) by means of delivering an identifiable signal (S1);—at said potential target, receiving and analysing said signal (S1), said analysis comprising establishing that at least one of the parameters power, frequency, and durability configuration of said signal (S1)—comparing said at least one parameter with parameter indications stored in advance;—on correspondence, establishing that the firing unit belongs to own troop; and—delivering a visual signal (S2) from the potential target (102). The invention also relates to a computer program product comprising a program code (P) for a computer (200; 210) for implementing a method according to the invention. The invention also relates to a system and a firing unit being equipped with the device.

8. A system for assessing, from a firing unit a potential target for said firing unit comprising:
-
means through which said potential target visually may be observed; means for initiating measuring of a range from said firing unit to the potential target by means of means for delivering an identifiable signal; at said potential target, means (230) for receiving and analysing said signal, said analysis comprising establishing at least one parameter selected from the group consisting of effect, frequency, and durability configuration of said signal, means for comparing said at least one parameter to parameter indications stored in advance; means for establishing that the firing unit belongs to own troop, in the case correspondence exists between said at least one parameter and said parameter indications; and means for delivering a visual signal from the potential target. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A firing unit comprising:
-
means for receiving and analysing an identifiable signal from a signal delivering firing unit, wherein said identifiable signal is intended for measuring in a range from said signal delivering firing unit to a receiving firing unit, said analysis comprising establishing at least one parameter selected from effect, frequency, and durability configuration of said signal, means for comparing said at least one parameter to parameter indications stored in advance; means for establishing that the signal delivering firing unit belongs to own troop, in the case correspondence exists between said at least one parameter and said parameter indications; and means for delivering a visual signal to the signal delivering firing unit, for indicating, from said receiving firing unit, that said receiving firing unit does not constitute a potential target for said signal delivering firing unit. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A computer program for facilitating assessment by a first firing unit whether a second firing unit as a potential target for said first firing unit, said computer program comprising program code stored on a computer-readable storage medium for causing an electronic control unit, or another computer connected to the electronic control unit, of the second firing unit, for performing the steps of:
-
analysing an identifiable signal having been received from said first firing unit, wherein said identifiable signal is intended for measuring in of a range from said first firing unit to the second firing unit, said analysis comprising; establishing at least one parameter selected from the group consisting of effect, frequency, and durability of said identifiable signal; comparing said at least one parameter with parameter indications stored in advance; at correspondence, establishing that the first firing unit belongs to own troop; and delivering a visual signal from the second firing unit for indicating that the second firing unit does not constitute a potential target for said first firing unit.

19. A computer program product for a program code stored on a computer-readable storage medium for performing the steps of:
-
analysing an identifiable signal having been received from said first firing unit, wherein said identifiable signal is intended for measuring in of a range from said first firing unit to the second firing unit, said analysis comprising establishing at least one of the parameters effect, frequency, and durability of said identifiable signal; comparing said at least one parameter with parameter indications stored in advance; at correspondence, establishing that the first firing unit belongs to own troop; and delivering a visual signal from the second firing unit for indicating that the second firing unit does not constitute a potential target for said first firing unit, when said computer program is run on an electronic control unit or another computer connected to the electronic control unit of the second firing unit.
