Abstract
Apparatus for conducting firing adapted to the aiming of a cannon movable bearing and in elevation around a turning axis as a function of aim values given by a firing table corresponding to the cannon and other parameters of firing. The apparatus comprises a telescopic sight with an optical deviator element for displacement of the line of sight, the optical deviator element being mounted on a support coupled in bearing and in elevation with the cannon and being subjected to the action of a cam whose profile is determined by the aim values from the firing table and which is coupled to a motor controlled by a rangefinder device whose transmission and reception beams are connected in bearing and in elevation to the axis of the observation scope of the telescope. The opticial deviator element is articulated through the intermediary of a spherical articulation on the support connected to the cannon and the opticial deviator element is subjected to the signal of a detector of the vertical operating so that the observation axis must be maintained in a substantially vertical plane passing through the direction of the target.
