Abstract

Weapon targeting system is applicable for military and other applications. Weapon targeting system can be utilized by the pilot of the Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) to direct the weapon to point towards the target based on the data received from the orientation of pilot's hand movement. The weapon-targeting combat vehicle system includes a flex sensors controlled hand gestures for controlling of vehicle movement and weapon firing. It does not require a gun operator for weapon firing. The direct line of sight target is provided by pointing the laser towards the target. This will allow the user to view in real time effect of firing by adjusting the distance from the weapon to the target. The control logic is developed to make the combat vehicle to move in forward and reverse movement. The control of combat vehicle is achieved by the hand gestures. The range of gun rotation in x-axis is 180 degrees and triggering gun rotation angle range is 120 degrees. The approximated distance that gun can fire exact target position is 1meters. The error in firing is increasing as the distance is increasing.
