Microcomputer Based Ship-Board Gun Control System.

Abstract

This study was undertaken to design and implement a microcomputer based gun control and interactive display system which is suitable as a model of a shipboard Gun Fire Control System and Tactical-Situation display. The stand-alone system includes two plasma display scopes, a microcomputer, a cathode ray tube (CRT), an analog-to-digital, digital-to-analog (ADC/DAC) board and a servo unit. The scope of the effort includes, calculation of target information, prediction of target values, solution of anti-air warfare and surface fire control problems. The servo unit was connected to the computer through the ADC/DAC board. The use of the servo unit and the true-motion plotter emulates the shipboard weapon system environment. Of major interest was the integration of the hardware components and the software developed in this study into a control of analog servo unit and a graphical display system. (Author)
