Abstract:
A method for the correction of dynamic gun errors caused by movements of the gun tube muzzle area of a gun tube of a gun, aimed by means of drive mechanisms in regard to elevation (&lgr;) and azimuth (&agr;), during continuous firing, including the steps of:measuring the movement of the gun tube muzzle area during continuous firing for obtaining measured signals, wherein the measurement of the movement of the gun tube muzzle area is performed with the aid of two measuring sensors, which measure angles and each has a fiber-optical gyro, feeding the measured signals of the two measuring sensors to a regulating device, processing the measured signals in the regulating device to generate steering signals for the drive mechanisms, and correcting the elevation (&lgr;) and the azimuth (&agr;) of the gun tube by the drive mechanisms in response to the steering signals generated from the measured and processed signals in order to compensate the movement of the gun tube muzzle area.
