Abstract:
1. A system for aligning a simulator arranged for firing and mounted on a weapon, which weapon has aiming means, wherein the simulator is equipped with at least one element arranged so as to emit an electromagnetic beam out of the simulator along a simulation axis, and adjusting means arranged in the path of the electromagnetic beam and operable to adjust the simulation axis so that it is aligned with an aiming axis, the system including: a sighting mark at which the weapon aiming means are to be aimed during alignment so as to define the aiming axis from the weapon to the sighting mark, and means arranged in connection with the sighting mark to emit a beam along an axis representing the aligned simulation axis, and an aligning unit that is deployable at the simulator and contains optics means arranged to reflect at least a first part of the beam emitted from the element along an axis representing the current position of the simulation axis, and position-indicating means arranged so that the beam along the axis representing the aligned simulation axis strikes the position-indicating means at a point representing a set-point value for the simulation axis, and so that the beam along the axis representing the current simulation beam strikes the position indicating means at a point representing an actual value for simulation axis, and a control unit communicating with the adjusting means, the control unit generating a control signal for the adjusting means, the control signal being based on a relative distance between the point representing the set-point value for the simulation axis and the point representing the actual value for the simulation axis, the adjusting means aligning the simulation axis with the aiming axis based on the control signal.
