Optimization Research on the Reaction Time of a Self-Propelled Gun-Howitzer System
The reaction time of weapon system is one of important tactical and technical indexes that reflect the automation level of weapon and reaction capacity.Aiming at problems of a large caliber self-propelled gun-howitzer with long reaction time,low combat efficiency and inability to meet require-ments of modern battlefield,the operating and aiming solution model was derived.The characteristics and duration of the actions of the gun adjusting and ammunition loading mechanism were studied.A step-by-step parallel approach was designed for optimizing gun adjusting action and ammunition loading action.According to experiments results,the optimized method can reduce the average system reaction time of the self-propelled gun-howitzer by 7.02 s,and increase the system reaction speed by 32.3%,so that it can quickly and efficiently complete the specified tactical movements and improve its battle-field survivability and combat efficiency.
