Abstract

Ein Verfahren zur Überprüfung der Interaktionsfähigkeit zwischen einem Luftfahrzeug und einem mit diesem koppelbaren bewaffneten, unbemannten Flugkörper, wobei das Luftfahrzeug mit einer Waffenstation versehen ist, die mechanische und elektrische Kopplungsmittel aufweist, welche mit entsprechenden mechanischen und elektrischen Kopplungsmitteln des Flugkörpers verbindbar sind, ist gekennzeichnet durch die Schritte,
a) Überprüfen der Funktionsfähigkeit des bewaffneten Flugkörpers mittels einer Waffen-Testvorrichtung;
b) Überprüfen der Waffenstation des Luftfahrzeugs mit einer Waffenstations-Testvorrichtung;
c) Anbringen des bewaffneten Flugkörpers an der Waffenstation des Luftfahrzeugs unter mechanischer und elektrischer Kopplung des Flugkörpers mit dem Luftfahrzeug;
d) Aktivierung des bewaffneten Flugkörpers durch das Luftfahrzeug bis zum Erreichen eines Bereitschaftsstatus' des bewaffneten Flugkörpers und
e) Überprüfen der einzelnen Aktivierungsaktionen des Schritts d); wobei dann, wenn zumindest eine der Überprüfungen nicht erfolgreich verlaufen ist, ein Fehlersignal ausgegeben wird.

A method for verifying the ability to interact between an aircraft and an armed, unmanned missile coupled thereto, the aircraft being provided with a weapon station having mechanical and electrical coupling means connectable to corresponding mechanical and electrical coupling means of the missile is characterized by the steps,
a) Checking the functioning of the armed missile by means of a weapons test device;
b) checking the weapon station of the aircraft with a weapon station testing device;
c) attaching the armed missile to the weapon station of the aircraft with mechanical and electrical coupling of the missile to the aircraft;
(d) Activation of the armed missile by the aircraft until it reaches a readiness status of the armed missile and
e) checking the individual activation actions of step d); wherein if at least one of the checks has failed, an error signal is output.
