Missile firing simulator with the gunner immersed in a virtual space
First Claim
1. A missile firing simulator for training a firer for firing a missile from the shoulder or a tripod, the missile fired on fixed or moving targets, the missile firing simulator including:
- at least one firing station, the firing station including a weapon simulator, the weapon simulator provided with a triggering device for triggering imaginary firings;
an image display device;
an image processing device; and
an instructor station wherein the instructor station includes a video screen associated with a decision device by which an instructor chooses a virtual scenario relating to a firing field, the type of the missile and firing conditions, the firing station further including a spatial location device, the image display device displays virtual images in actual size representing a field of vision of a firer in the virtual scenario chosen by the instructor, a micromonitor disposed upon the missile weapon simulator displaying the same images as those displayed on the display device, but enlarged according to a predetermined coefficient, and the image processing device includes a central processing unit associated with an image generator, wherein the image processing device generates images within the instructor station, images displayed on the micromonitor, and the images displayed on the display device.

Abstract
A simulator for simulating the firing of weapons the simulator including a firing station, and a missile weapon simulator. The missile weapon simulator able to simulate imaginary firings, an image display device, an image processing device, and an instructor station. The instructor station includes a video screen associated with a decision device by which an instructor chooses a virtual scenario relating to a firing field, the type of the missile and firing conditions. The image display device displays virtual images in actual size representing a field of vision of a firer in the virtual scenario chosen by the instructor, a micromonitor placed upon the missile weapon simulator displays the same images as those of the display device. The image processing device generates images within the instructor station, the images displayed on the micromonitor, and the images displayed on the display device.
