The article presents the current state and perspectives of the development of sighting complexes in the fire control system for modern armored vehicles. The experience of the world leaders in tank construction shows, that the development and design of tank models of new-generation, the single systems and elements of the latest advances are often used for modernization of the existing fleet of the armored vehicles which supposes to meet the requirements of the modern combat.The necessity of the formation of a program of national modular system is justified. It is expected that the national modular system will reduce the cost of the thermal imaging systems of sighting complexes by the comprehensive standardization of their main components, installation of their mass production and introduction of the latest technologies, as well as the ability to carry out ongoing modernization of the thermal imaging cameras, taking into account the development of the parts with improved capabilities.Trends of the development of battle tanks in the NATO countries are considered from the point of view of the employment of thermal imaging systems with target acquisition and tracking systems into the fire control and information systems, transiting to the thermal imaging systems with a multiple increase of the number of detection elements in a receiver.The article covers the main near-future prospective directions of the development of domestic sighting complexes, taking into account the constructive approaches to the building of the fire control system for modern tanks in the leading countries of the world. The comparative table of specifications of the commander and tank gunner sighting complexes of the modern tanks is presented. At the consideration of the constructional solutions, special attention is paid to the use of complex methods in sighting complexes of fire control systems, employing various features the target, mutually combining the information (combination of thermal and radar means with optical, television, electro-optical and spatial filtration of the image), which allows one to provide the process of detection and tracking of the target in the wide spectral range. |
