Target Simulator for Gun Fire Control System

Abstract

The objective of our project work is to develop a Target Simulator for Radar application which takes initial position of pseudo targets and returns computed values of future position and shown in PPI. Gun fire control system is a system which has quick reaction, multisensory, Multiweapon defence system and ranges from short/medium/long systems against Air surface or shore targets. It comprises many functional subsystem, tracker weapon controller etc. In normal scenario the GFCS works like initially the RADAR will give the target co-ordinates. The GFCS in turn gives command to gun for tracking the target. The gun gives the tell back about the position of its own self. The GFCS checks the values of target given out by the against the co-ordinate values gives out by the gun. In our project by using single computer opening two terminals in one terminal running client side program and in other terminal running simulator program for connection between them we are using Ethernet communication using sockets. The Target Simulator will be running on server side. The client side will be GUI using VS on windows platform. Initial position of pseudo targets will be given to simulator and returns the computed values of future position and the movement of pseudo targets will be shown on PPI (Plan Position Indicator) by converting values to pixels using Bitmap.
