Abstract
A method for changing operation mode of a weapon 10 that is connected to a maintenance device 20 via an umbilical 40 providing signals and power to the weapon 10. The method comprises transmitting a mode change control signal to electronics in the weapon 10 via a pin on an electrical interface connecting the umbilical 40 to the weapon 10, and switching the weapon 10 from an operational mode to a non-operational mode and vice versa after receiving said mode change control signal. The invention further comprises a weapon 10 and system comprising means for performing said method.

Abstract
A method for planning and launching two or more missiles, to be included in the same mission, and where this is done from one or more aircraft in such a way that the missiles arrive at same target approximately at the same time without interfering with each other on the way to the target. The planning of the mission is performed by sending a set of identical mission data to the missiles prior to launch; letting each missile be assigned a unique identity, letting each missile calculate identical trajectories and a unique offset to this, in one or more of four dimensions, where a resulting offset trajectory is unique for each missile and based on said identical mission data and unique identity, and launching the missiles included in the same mission.

Abstract
A system and method for operating a remotely located safety-critical device, e.g. a weapon station (10, 20). The system comprises a first operating input device (52) to be operated by an operator, providing a first barrier control signal; and a second operating input device (62) to be operated by an operator, providing a second barrier control signal. The barrier control signals are sent through respective secure tunnels through a non-secure communication network (40) to respective activating inputs of first and second barrier circuits at the remote location. The first and second barrier circuits enable operation of the safety-critical device when both are activated. Additional barrier circuits may be included. Video information may be sent from the remote location to the operator station. The video information may be verified as originating from the remote location.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a remote weapon system (10). The system comprises: a fire control unit (12); and a mechanical support (14) to which a weapon (18) capable of firing airburst ammunition is mountable, the mechanical support being adapted to move the weapon in azimuth and elevation directions. The fire control unit is adapted to receive input parameters including at least one area parameter related to a geographical area to be covered by the airburst ammunition from said weapon. Further, the fire control unit is configured to automatically calculate a number of shots of the weapon as well as azimuth and elevation directions of the mechanical support for each shot based on said input parameters such that substantially the entire geographical area is covered by the airburst ammunition when the weapon is fired.

Abstract
An electronic apparatus for controlling a firing rate of an automatic firing weapon having an actuator adapted to operate a trigger mechanism of said weapon, said weapon exhibiting a natural free-running firing rate when triggered. The apparatus comprises an output driver means adapted to provide a drive signal for said actuator, a first single pulse generator means having a single pulse output coupled to an input of the driver means and adapted to generate a single pulse of a duration shorter than a time period of said natural free-running firing rate in response to a single pulse generator means input, and a pulse train generator means having a single pulse output coupled to an input of said first single pulse generator means and adapted to provide to the first single pulse generator means a train of pulses spaced in time a spacing period exceeding said time period of said natural free-running firing rate in response to a pulse train generator means input.

Abstract
A remote cocking and charging device for a weapon on a weapon mount (11), the weapon having a bore axis and a rope actuated cocking and charging mechanism having a rope end exiting from the weapon. The device comprises a first rotatable pulley (6) having an axis of rotation fixedly connected to a first part of the weapon mount and positioned adjacent to and below a point of exit of said rope from said weapon positioned in the mount, a second rotatable pulley (7) having an axis of rotation fixedly connected to said first part of the weapon mount and positioned below and spaced from the first pulley, and a linearly moveable actuator arm (2) having a longitudinal axis situated substantially in a plane and substantially parallel to said bore axis, said actuator arm at an end thereof comprising a rope engagement means. The first pulley, second pulley and actuator arm are arranged so as to allow said rope exiting from said weapon in the mount to extend and run, in sequence, to and over a part of a circumferenc of the first pulley, to and over a part of a circumferenc of the second pulley, and in a rope pulling force coupling engagement with said actuator arm end.
