Lectures

Goal

The goal is to introduce applicants to modern fire control systems and the weapon control functions during combat employment procedures, based on a theoretical approach rooted in mechanics and mathematics, under variable and virtual initial and boundary conditions of projectile launch and flight from various integrated weapon types and different combat platforms. Furthermore, the aim is to study the effects of the technological integration of armed units, combat platforms, and weapons during combat deployment with modern battle management and command and control information technologies in a 3D environment. Finally, the objective is to define the properties of a digitized and fully integrated battlefield over time, for the purpose of tracking and engaging armed combat organizational systems

Outcome

Applicants achieved knowledge for individual design of weapon systems functions with appropriate equipment integrated in to the weapon subsystem. Knowledge achieved are about types and character of equipment and sensors for shooting functions control and space navigation of weaponized systems.Proceedings are accorded with requirements of Mechanics and Mathematics , respecting accuracy and precision of Weapon and equipment.

Theoretical teaching

- Probabilities of shooting accuracy and precisions of weapon - Mechanics and following proceedings of shooting with different projectiles - Digitalization of targets tracking and shooting performances measurements - The types of mil.sensors - Navigation of air ,land ,and water platforms based on inertial and GPS satellite systems - Time proceedings and ordering of command systems and units.

Practical teaching

Development of Command-Information System Software Integrated with a Ballistic Computer for a Selected Weapon System.
