Senatorov M. Upgrading of optical sights effectiveness for firearms

The thesis is devoted to methods development for design of optical sights for firearms with increased effectiveness by means of its optical features concordance with psycho - physiological features of shooter viewing system at execution of battle task, new sight methods and principal new optical schemes development. Math model of battle task is modified. Analytical expression for it execution probability in dependence of sight optical features, background-target situation, psycho - physiological features of shooter viewing system during it execution and weapon energy is developed on it base. Methodic on calculation of collimator and telescopic sights without air intervals between components, new methods for weapon secret sighting, method of sight designing with special composition for sight reticle, procedure for combined design of firearms and sight and stand apparatus for assessment of firearms battle effectiveness are developed. Technical materials of thesis are implemented at State enterprise "Construction Bureau of Special Technique" and "Arsenal" plant at native weapon optical sight equipped creation; at "Central Scientific-Research Institute of arms and military technique of Ukrainian armed forces" at substantiation of demands to perspective native weapon sights. Key words: firearms, battle task, effectiveness, collimator sight and telescopic sight.
