[Shooting training processing according to the first embodiment of the present invention]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 2-5, the specific process of the control method of the shooting training apparatus which concerns on the 1st Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.
In the shooting training apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, a plurality of programs (software) corresponding to various types of firearms are stored in the RAM, hard disk, and the like of the storage unit 30.
The control unit 50 changes the communication method according to the type of firearm or whether it is used for communication, and controls the directivity, gain, antenna characteristics corresponding to the band, and the like.
When changing the communication method, the control unit 50 reads software (program) corresponding to one communication method from the storage unit 30 and controls to rewrite the application unit 20, the digital signal processing unit 60, the RF unit 80, and the like. . Then, the DSP of each part transmits and receives radio waves by the rewritten communication method. Thereby, a shooting simulation, data communication, and voice communication are performed by the shooting training apparatus 1, and efficient shooting training can be performed.
Below, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2, the shooting training process of this embodiment is demonstrated in detail.

First, in step S100, the control unit 50 performs power supply instruction processing.
In this process, first, after obtaining a power-on signal from the input / output unit 10, the control unit 50 executes the initialization program stored in the storage unit 30.
When this initialization program is executed, the control unit 50 instructs the power supply unit 90 to supply power to each unit, and then checks each activated unit.

Next, in step S101, the control unit 50 performs standby state processing.
Specifically, the control unit 50 instructs the application unit 20 to display the standby state, and enters the standby state.
Thereby, the application part 20 displays the communication system, firearms, etc. which can be used on a display part.
The input / output unit 10 waits until it detects an instruction from the user and information from another device. The input / output unit 10 notifies the control unit 50 when there is an instruction from the user.

Next, in step S <b> 102, when receiving a user instruction from the input / output unit 10, the control unit 50 determines whether to perform a shooting simulation or information communication.
Specifically, the input / output unit 10 determines Yes when the input signal is an instruction related to a shooting simulation of shooting training. Conversely, if the instruction is related to communication, it is determined No.
In the case of Yes, the control part 50 advances a process to step S103.
In No, the control part 50 advances a process to step S108.

If it is detected in step S103 that the user has given an instruction related to the shooting simulation, the control unit 50 performs a firearm setting process.
Specifically, first, the input / output unit 10 transmits this instruction information to the control unit 50 when detecting that the user has given an instruction from the information input unit.
At this time, the control unit 50 also acquires changed information such as firearm trigger information, scope information, position information, character information, audio information, and graphic information by the application unit 20.
The control unit 50 acquires, from the input / output unit 10, information on a firearm to be simulated selected by the user as instruction information. In addition, the control unit 50 stores instruction information from the input / output unit 10 in the storage unit 30 or outputs the instruction information to the input / output unit 10.

In addition, the control unit 50 uses the firearm communication method determination unit 40 to select a communication method specified by the input / output unit 10 and corresponding to the firearm to be simulated selected by the user, and sets each unit. In addition, the control unit 50 displays the selected firearms, remaining bullets, and the like on the display unit using the application unit 20 and the user interface of the input / output unit 10.
Further, the control unit 50 performs processing such as switching the software of the converter unit 70, the digital signal processing unit 60, the RF unit 80, and the antenna unit 85 and rewriting the contents of the RAM for the selected communication method. For this switching or rewriting, the control unit 50 instructs each unit by transmitting information related to reception / transmission, antenna switching, tuning, frequency conversion, digital signal processing, and the like. At this time, the control unit 50 instructs to change the frequency instruction, modulation method, radio wave type, antenna directivity, polarization, transmission power, and the like according to the reception state.
More specifically, the control unit 50 changes, for example, the communication method according to the flight distance and characteristics of the firearm to be simulated, and changes the antenna characteristics and / or transmission output of the antenna unit 85 to match the fire power. . At this time, by changing the number of antennas used and the output of the adaptive array antenna of the antenna unit 85, it is possible to change a plurality of characteristics and maintain the state of information communication.
By changing the antenna characteristics and the transmission output, it is possible to change the effective range and characteristics of the arriving radio waves. This makes it possible to simulate firearms that attack linearly and firearms that attack a wide range such as shots. In addition, by these changes, not only transmission / reception of firearms at the time of shooting simulation but also information communication such as voice and data can be realized between the shooting training apparatuses 1 and other devices. Furthermore, it can be used as a radar.
Further, by changing the frequency and polarization, it is possible to distinguish between a firearm to be simulated and data communication, prevent crosstalk, and allow a plurality of devices to communicate simultaneously.

With reference to FIG. 3, the control part 50 demonstrates in detail the processing content at the time of changing the setting of each part by the firearm information table read from the memory | storage part 30 using the firearm communication system determination part 40. FIG. .
The firearm information table of the storage unit 30 stores a transmission / reception frequency, a modulation method, a radio wave type, and the like as communication methods for shooting simulation and information communication of various firearms.
For this reason, for example, when the type of firearm is a firearm used in a linear mode such as a rifle with “A”, the control unit 50 reads the setting corresponding to “No. 1” in the firearm information table, Control to change. Specifically, the control unit 50 instructs the antenna switching circuit 83 to switch the antenna unit 85 to “X”. Then, the control unit 50 performs “transmission” for reception / transmission, “L (Hz)” for the frequency, and “1 W” for the output level for the converter unit 70, the digital signal processing unit 60, and the RF unit 80. Then, control is performed by rewriting software so that the modulation method is “R”.
In the case of the shot mode corresponding to the shotgun, the control unit 50 reads the setting corresponding to “No. 2” in the firearm information table, sets “Y” antennas, “transmits” the reception / transmission, and sets the frequency to “M”. (Hz) ”, the output level is changed to“ 1 W ”, and the modulation method is changed to“ S ”.
In the case of a gun having a longer range, the control unit 50 reads and changes the setting corresponding to “No. 3” for the straight line mode and “No. 4” for the shot mode, for example. In these cases, the output of radio waves increases.
Further, the shooting training device 1 possessed by the user can be used so as to be the same target as the target 3 (FIG. 5). In this case, the control unit 50 reads the setting of “No. 5” in the firearm information table that is in the reception mode, and switches each setting so as to receive trigger information from a wide range.
In addition, even when another fire training apparatus 1, the conventional equipment 2 (FIG. 5), the target 3, and other equipment (not shown) are instructed to change the firearm, the control unit 50 receives the instructions from the storage unit 30. Read and change the corresponding information. Also, the control unit 50 instructs to change the software of each unit using the information.
In addition, the control part 50 can also change into the communication system which measures the distance between apparatuses, when using the shooting training apparatus 1 as a radar using an electromagnetic wave.
Also, even if the type of firearm is the same, for example, “A”, separate data can be stored in the firearm information table so that an antenna having a different radiation angle of the firearm can be selected and changed. As a result, a shooting simulation can be performed for a warhead whose damage state greatly changes in relation to the radiation angle, such as an APFSDS (Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Dissolving Sabot) warhead.

Here, with reference to FIG. 4, the usage example of each antenna of the antenna part 85 is shown. In this way, the directivity of the antenna and the transmission output can be changed according to the flying distance of the firearm used to match the firepower. It can also be used for communications and radar.
FIG. 4A shows an example used in the linear mode. In this way, by selecting the number of antennas and the antenna characteristics of the antenna unit 85, it is possible to transmit radio waves so that they do not spread linearly. Even in this case, it is possible to adjust the reach distance etc. by making the output variable. Moreover, the direction of transmission can be changed by selecting antennas having different directions.
FIG. 4B shows a usage example in which the directivity of the antenna is changed and the range is expanded. In the case of an adaptive array, by changing the position and number of antenna elements to be transmitted, the direction of the radio wave beam can be changed due to radio wave interference or the like.
Thus, the effective range of the firearm can be changed by changing the beam of the adaptive array antenna and the transmission output of the amplifier. It is also possible to simulate firearms that attack a wide range such as shots. In addition, these changes can be used not only for transmitting and receiving firearm trigger information during shooting simulation but also for information communication such as voice and data.
FIG. 4C shows an example in which a moving object is tracked by changing the radio wave beam with respect to a moving target. In this way, by changing the beam of the antenna, it is possible to follow the target 3 that is a moving object and maintain the communication state. Such tracking is also effective when used as a radar.

In step S <b> 104, the control unit 50 determines whether trigger information has been received from the input / output unit 10. That is, the control unit 50 determines whether or not firearm trigger information has been received from another shooting training device 1 or another device. About this determination, the control part 50 determines whether the information received from the digital signal processing part 60 is trigger information. At this time, trigger information from the conventional equipment 2 (FIG. 4) can also be received.
If Yes, that is, trigger information is received, the control unit 50 advances the process to step S105.
No, that is, when the trigger information is not received, the control unit 50 advances the process to step S106.

In step S105, when the trigger information is received, the control unit 50 performs damage display processing.
Specifically, the control unit 50 first calculates a damage status value. This calculation is based on the radio wave reception level of the received trigger information, the distance and direction between the reception side and the transmission side obtained by position information and radar, the firearm and defense settings set on the reception side and transmission side, etc. To calculate. For example, in the straight line mode, the calculation can be performed such that the damage is reduced when the hit direction is the front direction and is increased when the hit direction is the horizontal direction. In the case of the shot mode, the damage situation can be changed depending on the distance from the center of the shot dispersion.
The control unit 50 displays on the display unit connected to the input / output unit 10 the states of “small breakage to large breakage”, “sight failure”, and “unable to fight” according to the value of the damage situation. It is also possible to output explosive sound or damage status sound to an output device such as a speaker of the sound input / output unit.
Furthermore, the control part 50 can also transmit the value of a damage condition to the other shooting training apparatus 1, another apparatus, the management part of shooting training, etc. At this time, it is also possible to transmit by switching the characteristics to antennas having different communication methods and characteristics.

In step S106, the control unit 50 determines whether a trigger instruction has been detected from the input / output unit 10 or whether trigger information has been transmitted from the conventional equipment 2 (FIG. 4).
In Yes, control part 50 advances processing to Step S107.
In No, the control part 50 complete | finishes a shooting training process and returns to a standby state.

In step S107, when the trigger instruction is detected or the trigger information is transmitted, the control unit 50 performs a trigger process.
Specifically, if the trigger instruction or the trigger information includes the radiation angle of the firearm to be simulated, the control unit 50 causes the antenna switching circuit 83 to switch to the antenna according to the radiation angle. Instruct. Then, the control unit 50 instructs each unit to transmit trigger information. As this trigger information, the type of firearm used in the shooting training apparatus 1, ID, scope information, position information, and the like can be used. This trigger information can also be used for information set by the application unit 20.
The digital signal processing unit 60 and the converter unit 70 convert the trigger information into a signal of a specific communication method.
Then, the RF unit 80 outputs trigger information with the set frequency, modulation method, and output level from the switched antenna of the antenna unit 85.
Specifically, the control unit 50 reduces the number of remaining bullets in the storage unit 30 and displays remaining bullets on the display unit.
Further, after that, the control unit 50 may receive information about reception of the trigger from another device and display the result.
Then, the control part 50 complete | finishes a shooting training process and returns to a standby state.

In step S108, when performing information communication instead of shooting simulation, the control unit 50 performs communication method setting processing.
Specifically, the control unit 50 first receives an instruction such as a user communication method setting via the application unit 20.
Thereafter, the control unit 50 instructs each unit to set the communication method in the same manner as the above-described firearm setting process.
Thereby, the digital signal processing unit 60, the converter unit 70, and the RF unit 80 perform modulation processing and the like necessary for information communication. The control unit 50 instructs the antenna switching circuit 83 to switch the characteristic to the antenna of the antenna unit 85 having the characteristic corresponding to the selected communication method and transmit / receive.

Next, in step S109, the control unit 50 performs transmission / reception processing.
Specifically, the control unit 50 can perform information communication by a communication method using, for example, millimeter waves as radio waves. As this information communication, communication such as data communication and voice communication can be performed.
As data communication, various data and programs stored in the storage unit 30 can be transmitted or rewritten. The various data includes data such as maps, training instructions, voice commands, and the like.
As voice communication, training instructions, reports, and the like can be performed using a microphone or a speaker of the voice input / output unit connected to the input / output unit 10.
As described above, the control unit 50 ends the shooting training process and returns to the standby state. Thereafter, the control unit 50 detects an instruction from the user of the input / output unit 10 and performs a shooting simulation and information communication.

Here, with reference to FIG. 5, the structural example of the shooting training system X which concerns on the 1st Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.
This shooting training system X can be configured to include, for example, a shooting training device 1, a conventional equipment 2, a target 3, and a radio device (not shown) of a shooting training management unit.
In the shooting training, the shooting training system X performs shooting simulation and information communication between the shooting training apparatus 1 and other devices.
First, the shooting training apparatus 1 performs shooting simulation by transmitting and receiving trigger information by radio waves. Here, the shooting training device 1 can change the communicable area according to the characteristics of the firearm to be simulated by setting the communication method in the control unit 50. As a result, the width, angle, etc. of the shot depending on the type of firearm can be adjusted according to the firearm. This adjustment can be changed by switching the directivity of the radio wave among the antennas of the antenna unit 85 having a plurality of characteristics. Furthermore, by adjusting the output level, the distance of actual firepower can be set, and a firearm simulation closer to practice can be performed.
Moreover, the shooting training apparatus 1 can perform not only shooting simulation but also data communication and voice communication. In data communication, an ad hoc communication function used in a wireless LAN or the like can be provided. Thereby, it becomes possible to prepare a plurality of shooting training apparatuses 1 and configure a communication network between personnel and vehicles without having a base station.
Moreover, the shooting training apparatus 1 can also connect the conventional equipment 2 or the GPS of an external device to the input / output unit 10. The conventional equipment 2 is a conventional laser simulation equipment, such as a laser diode shooting transmitter or receiver. Thereby, it is possible to perform a shooting simulation using the conventional equipment 2. In the case of such a configuration, the shooting simulation can be performed by causing the control unit 50 to execute the data and software of the conventional equipment 2 stored in the storage unit 30 and integrating them with other devices.
In addition, new firearm data and software can be added to the storage unit 30 of the shooting training apparatus 1. This makes it possible to perform a shooting simulation with the performance of a new firearm. Further, by installing a radio wave communication method in the storage unit 30, the communication method can be added or changed.

On the other hand, since the shooting training apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention uses radio waves with high transmission / reception stability, the transmission / reception capacity can be increased. That is, a large amount of data can be transmitted and received, and the usage can be expanded.
In particular, the shooting training apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention can be used by changing software and changing an antenna having a plurality of characteristics. For this reason, not only shooting simulation but also communication can be performed. Therefore, in addition to being used for shooting training, it is possible to construct a data network between personnel by voice communication or data communication. At this time, high-speed and large-capacity communication can be established between personnel. Therefore, various data including video, audio, etc. can be shared between personnel, and training can be made more efficient.

[Shooting training processing according to the second embodiment of the present invention]
A conventional shooting training system such as the above-described prior art 1 has poor expandability due to a small laser communication capacity. That is, the infrared laser of prior art 1 has a limited data capacity, and the data transmission content is limited. For this reason, it was difficult to use for performing voice communication and data communication.
Further, the prior art 1 has a problem that data transmission / reception is one-way communication and only information from the transmission unit can be obtained. That is, the conventional equipment such as the prior art 1 can only transmit, and cannot receive the landing position determination information and the image information as the reception result. For this reason, information could not be shared with each other.
As described above, in the related art 1, it is not possible to share the shooting image information of the transmission unit and the reception unit such as which location is aimed at or which location is hit.
Therefore, in the second embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the function of the shooting training apparatus according to the first embodiment, information communication is performed so that information such as images can be shared with each other. .

Hereinafter, step S210 and step S211 of the shooting training process of this embodiment will be described in more detail.

If there is a trigger instruction in step S210, the control unit 55 performs damage information transmission processing.
If it demonstrates with reference to the specific example of an operation | movement of FIG. 9, in this process, the shooting information in the shooting training apparatus 5 of a discharge side will be included in trigger information, and will be transmitted to the target side. Information on the firearm information table is used as this shooting information. In addition to this, the shooting information includes target-side image data and image data related to the landing position taken by the camera or scope of the shooting-side image acquisition unit 11 during shooting, and position information of the sending-side shooting training device 5 And position information related to the landing position can be included.

More specifically, first, the camera or scope of the image acquisition unit 11 captures a still image or a moving image on the target side, and / or a still image or a moving image at a landing position at a location with a standard at the time of shooting. I'm shooting.
The GPS connected to the input / output unit 10 receives position information.

Here, in step S <b> 204, the firing-side control unit 55 detects the user's trigger instruction (firearm firing information) at the input / output unit 10 during shooting.
Then, the control unit 55 on the firing side performs a process of including shooting information such as image data, position information, and firearm type in the trigger information.

Specifically, the target-side control unit 55 calculates coordinates and the like from the shooting information and changes the angle to the camera or the like of the image acquisition unit 11 in order to capture the shooting-side image viewed from the target side, zooming, etc. To instruct
Thereby, the camera of the image acquisition unit 11 images the shooting training apparatus 5 on the shooting side, and creates shooting-side still image data and moving image data viewed from the receiving side.

Next, the target-side control unit 55 displays on the target-side display unit 12 shooting information such as the type of firearm on the firing side, position information, and image data at the time of hit.
Moreover, the control unit 55 on the target side creates a damage image for the hit location and the damage situation detected in the damage calculation display process. The target-side control unit 55 captures, for example, a target-side hit location with the camera of the image acquisition unit 11 as the damaged image, and acquires it as still image data or moving image data.
Further, the control unit 55 on the target side may create a damage image by performing rendering or the like with 3D CG (Computer Graphics) using a GPU or the like. At this time, it is also possible to draw a “hit mark” at a hit location and draw a fracture location on the captured image or model image related to the weapon of the target-side shooting training device 5.
Further, the target-side control unit 55 can be configured to create and display the damage image by superimposing characters and graphic information on the damage status.
In addition to this, the control unit 55 on the target side displays the image on the emission side viewed from the reception side on another window or another display of the display unit 12 on the target side.

Then, the target-side control unit 55 creates hit information and transmits it to the launching side. The hit information can include still image / moving image data of the target side hit / landing position at the time of hit, image data of damage, damage information, and the like.
As this image data, the image data of the above-described damaged image can be used. Furthermore, characters and graphic information of the damage status can be further added to the damage image.
In addition, the control unit 55 on the target side can include data such as the magnitude of damage and position information on the receiving side in addition to the image in the hit information.
The target-side control unit 55 transmits the hit information from the antenna unit 85 in the same manner as the trigger information. At this time, it is preferable that the target-side control unit 55 performs transmission with an output and an antenna direction that can be easily received by the launch-side equipment.

Here, when the hit-side control unit 55 receives the hit information, the launch-side control unit 55 displays it on the launch-side display unit 12.
Here, the control unit 55 on the emission side decodes the hit location, damage status, image data, and the like on the reception side from the hit information transmitted from the reception side to the emission side at the time of the hit.
Then, the launch-side control unit 55 uses the received hit information to display information such as the target-side hit location, damage status, and image data at the time of the hit on the launch-side display unit 12 using a GPU or the like. To do.
Thereby, it becomes easy to understand the state of shooting on the launch side, and the accuracy when performing firearm simulation can be improved.
Thus, the shooting training process according to the second embodiment of the present invention is completed.

With the configuration described above, the following effects can be obtained.
The shooting training device 5 according to the second embodiment of the present invention uses target image data captured by the camera or scope of the image acquisition unit 11 on the transmission side using high-speed and large-capacity data communication of millimeter waves. / Shooting information such as image data of landing positions and position information can be transmitted.
