Devising A New Portable Electronic Firing System

Abstract

Traditional method of guarding by human beings (for example soldiers) is a laborious task, which can be leveraged through exploiting the technological revolution of electronics. Accordingly, in this paper, we present design and development of a new portable electronic firing system that can facilitate the task of guarding. Our system features remote control firing in addition to its portability. Moreover, it incorporates the notion of zeroing that is yet to be focused for electronic firing systems in the literature. Another aspect that is also yet to be focused in the literature in this regard is user-level testing. We perform user-level testing of our developed electronic firing system in test-bed settings that adopt a toy pistol as the firing device. We compare performance of our developed system with that of professional human firers. Our experimental results demonstrate that performance of firing by our developed system is better than that of the professional firers. Nonetheless, we analyze how the performance of our developed system will be in real cases as per the correlations between the professional firers' performances in our test-bed and in real cases.
