The support structure (1) has a base mount (3), an oscillating frame (4) and a superstructure (2) for equipping with a weapons and/or an observation system. The superstructure is both rotatable azimuthally and pivotable relative to the horizontal (elevation). The superstructure is mounted so that a movement relative to the horizontal takes place along an arcuate path. The support structure can be stationary or mobile in use. A low overall height and a low centre of gravity are achieved. In particular a weapon platform for stationary or mobile applications can be provided.

The invention relates to a method and a device for measuring distances over wide distance ranges. Received electric analog signals are successively generated from received optical pulses that are detected after transmitted pulses are reflected on a target (10), said received electric analog signals being converted into received digital signals from which the distance (11) to the target (10) can be derived. The received digital signals can be scanning signals that are successively generated from the received analog signals by an ADC (34) when the ADC is switched to a scanning operation or threshold signals that are successively generated from the received analog signals by the ADC when the ADC (34) is switched to a comparator operation. The transmitted pulses and the bandwidths of a receiving amplifier (33) are adapted to the respective operating mode.

The invention relates to a method for processing multi-channel image recordings in order to detect hidden objects in a scene, wherein image data from at least two spectrally different camera systems having overlapping fields of vision are subjected to an image data combination. The aim of finding a new possibility for processing multi-channel image recordings for the optoelectronic inspection of persons that achieves an improvement in the detection of hidden objects without the so-called full-body-scanner effect of the millimeter wave scan appearing is achieved according to the invention in that images are recorded as two-dimensional image data in image channels having different frequency ranges, a mask image is produced from the image data of at least one image channel, wherein the image data are differentiated into at least two classes of pixels, the image data of each image channel are transformed into a Gaussian and Laplacian pyramid and the image data of the mask image are transformed into a mask image pyramid adequate therefor, and the image data of the Laplacian pyramids of the individual image channels are combined with the mask image pyramid at pyramid levels that correspond to each other, and then the Laplacian pyramids from corresponding image points of the same pyramid levels are merged into the resulting Laplacian pyramid on the basis of a comparison criterion.

The invention relates to an adjusting method and an adjusting device for adjusting an axis (2.3) of a shooting simulator (2) to the line of sight (1.2) of the sighting apparatus (1.1) of a firearm (1). The adjusting device is composed of two modules, i.e. a display module (3) having an axis (3.3) and a camera module (4) having an axis (4.3). The axis (3.3) of the display module can be adjusted so as to be aligned with the line of sight (1.2) by moving crosshairs on the display (3.1). In order to align the axis (2.3) of the simulator with the previously adjusted axis (3.3) of the display module, and thus with the line of sight (1.2), a laser beam emitted by the shooting simulator is represented on the camera chip and is moved into a position that is adequate to the crosshairs by actuating a tilting mechanism which is part of the shooting simulator (2).

The invention relates to a laser range finder and to a method for measuring the distance of a target (3) that is sighted, operating according to the principle of pulse delay measurement, wherein the optoelectronic receiver (4) is protected from contact with destructive radiation energy fractions of the emitted laser pulses reflected from the target (3). The range finder comprises two laser radiation sources (1, 8) having different pulse energy. A laser pulse having high pulse energy is not emitted unless a laser pulse having low pulse energy does not result in a received signal that can be evaluated.

The invention relates to a dummy explosive object for simulating the use and effect of an explosive object in military combat exercises, particularly a hand grenade (1) having advantageously five laser diodes (3), which are mounted on a common carrier plate (6) using identical diode holders (5), which emit laser radiation by way of a diffusion disk (4) arranged upstream in the radiation direction, and which are disposed such that the radiation axes thereof, which are distributed uniformly about the object axis (7) of the dummy explosive object, form an identical angle with said axis. The laser diodes (3), preferably together with the upstream diffusion disks (4), which advantageously are made of opal glass in order to homogenize the intensity distribution of the laser radiation, are enclosed by a sealing ring (8), which is pervious to the laser radiation and protrudes beyond the periphery of the housing part (9) in front of the diffusion disk (4) through provided openings, wherein a protective casing (2) is present, which is tautly placed onto the projecting regions of the sealing ring (8) and pervious to the laser radiation.
