INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR SPOTTING THE FALLS OF BALLISTIC ARTILLERY SHELLS AND MISSILES

Abstract

A system monitoring the falls of artillery projectiles within the area of live firings consists of detectors, separated by distances no larger than 50 m in the ground and 100 m in water, having a single core microcomputer with GPS localiser, radio link interface and a powering battery. For this reason a data transmitter is placed near the area and a receiver of transferred data and a computer with the software for visualisation of projectile impact sites is placed on a centre for controlling (commanding) and evaluating the results of firing. The managing software reconstructs an event and its position and displays it in the real time into the picture of the area shown on the monitor by analysing the data received from detectors in the form of compressed records of digital data. The received data can be used for verification and evaluation of performed firing assignments.
