• Weapon Systems, Semester 2, position 1

Goal of subject is orientated to the student knowledge about basic technologies integrated in the battle that provides precise engagement and reliable shooting of target by direct, indirect or other type of weapon fire. Modern systems employed and design by the basic knowledge about LOS, NLOS, and other shooting elements and principles understand sensor principles, automatic devices and software proceedings, based on ballistic shooting elements. Modern navigation and position principles of weapon fire represented by fundamental vectoral battle mechanics, of platforms motion, targets and projectiles flight in FCS composition models. Processes are represented by artillery, AD, BMD, and armored vehicles battle mechanics and platforms and units integrated systems.

Student is trained and educated to solve individual employment of weapon and their integrations of performances with other non weapon helping defense equipment and battle functions. Those understand shooting functions precision positioning and errors estimation, preparing weapon for selected target mission, and ballistics and flight mechanics estimation for optimal target shooting. Also student achieve basic knowledge for Command information battle technology and weapon fire precision strike technology. Software, autoimmunization and mechatronics sensor integration, in the battlefield mechanics of unsteady state vectoral proposals provides FCS software and hardware knowledge, for weapon designers.

1. Ballistic trajectories in shooting principles for LOS and NLOS projectiles and types of weapon fire. 2. Conventional indirect fire artillery shooting and FCS. 3. Shooting artillery of armored vehicles in motion and direct fire autoimmunization stabilization and errors estimations. Devices and equipment of weapon stabilization and equipment for FCS 4. Air defense gun systems and AD combat platforms and AD responsibilities areas 5 Sensors, tracking targets equipment, sighting, automatic optoelectronics, and IR technology laser range finders and navigation GIS and GPS systems and errors performances and analyzes.

1. Examples of trajectories and corresponding tactical weapon type. 2. Armored vehicles and tank weapons stabilization and shooting FCS integration 3. Automatic control principles for tracking and shooting for air defense platforms and systems /gun and missiles 1.4. UAV and navigating principles of GIS and GPS precision strike on the target., and new concepts of C2I, C3I, C4I, C4ISTAR, in command and control FCS navigation.
