The invention relates to a method for acquiring the coordinates of a trigger point (P) of a projectile (4) above a field part (1) on which a target (5a, 5b, 5c) is located. The method is characterized in that it comprises the following steps: emission of at least one laser pulse having a pre-determined duration and directed towards the target (5a, 5b, 5c); reception of the images reflected with a receiver equipped with means for the synchronous visualization of the laser pulses originating from a piece of observation of the field part (1); recovery of the coordinates of a desired trigger point (P) when the operator has chosen a location after the piece of observation was moved. The invention also relates to a fire-control system using such a method.

1. A method for acquiring the coordinates of a trigger point of a projectile or of a burst of projectiles on a trajectory and above a field part on which a target is located, wherein the method comprises the following steps: emitting from a laser source at least one laser pulse having a predetermined duration and directed towards the field part where the target is located,receiving the images reflected by the field part with a receiver equipped with means for the synchronous visualization of the reflection of the laser pulses under the form of a piece of observation of the field part, the width of the piece of observation being adjustable by selecting a duration for the laser emission or reception, and the distance of the piece of observation with respect to the receiver being adjustable by adjusting a delay between the emission and the reception of the laser pulse,recovering the coordinates of a trigger point when the operator has chosen a location after having moved the piece of observation with respect to the receiver and adjusted the width of the piece of observation, the trigger point being within the piece of observation. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the width of the piece of observation is chosen substantially equal to the depth of an area of effectiveness of the projectile or of the burst. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein an image of the observed piece of observation is displayed on means for visualization intended for an operator, the image comprising a superimposed image of the area of effectiveness of the projectile or of the burst, when fired at a trigger point associated with the area of effectiveness and positioned in the piece of observation, the operator having the option to move the area of effectiveness with respect to the image of the piece of observation, the coordinates of the trigger point being determined after the area of effectiveness was moved. 4. A fire-control system which can be associated with a weapon firing projectiles or bursts of projectiles and allowing to provide the coordinates of a trigger point for a projectile or a burst fired by the weapon, the fire-control system implementing the method according to claim 1 and wherein the fire-control system comprises: at least one synchronized pulses laser observation means associating a laser source or emitter which can emit pulses having a determined duration with a receiver equipped with means for the synchronous visualization of the reflection of the laser pulses under the form of a piece of observation of the field part having a width adjustable by selecting a duration for the laser emission or reception, and the distance of the piece of observation with respect to the receiver is adjustable by adjusting a delay between the emission and the reception,a computer to rebuild, using an algorithm, an image of the piece of observation acquired by the observation means, the image being displayed on the means for visualization,first control means intended for a user and allowing to position and move the piece of observation at a greater or shorter distance from the observation means,second control means allowing the operator to position and move, on the image of the piece of observation observed, a superimposed image of an area of effectiveness of the projectile or burst, when fired at a trigger point chosen in the piece of observation,the computer continuously determining the coordinates of the trigger point associated with the area of effectiveness and positioned within the piece of observation when the operator activates the first and second control means to move the piece of observation and the area of effectiveness,validation means allowing the user to choose a particular location of the area of effectiveness, the computer thus providing the coordinates of the desired trigger point for the projectile or burst. 5. The fire-control system according to claim 4, wherein the receiver is a camera equipped with a shutter synchronized with the laser emission and opening the camera at the end of at least one delay determined with respect to the emission, the delay between the emission and the reception allowing to adjust the distance of the piece of observation with respect to the receiver. 6. The fire-control system according to claim 5, wherein the synchronized shutter also allows to adjust the width of the piece of observation. 7. The fire-control system according to claim 4, wherein the image of the area of effectiveness is semi-transparent. 8. The fire-control system according to claim 7, wherein the image of the area of effectiveness has a color different from the color of the rest of the image.
