Аналіз можливостей застосування комп’ютерного артилерійського полігону «Канонір» в процесі навчання фахівців наземної артилерії

An analysis of the technical capabilities of the computer artillery range (the Kanonir product) has been conducted to support the training of cadets and officers in artillery units on topics such as optical and aerial reconnaissance, target detection and acquisition, and execution of fire missions against moving and stationary targets using various methods to determine fire settings. The accuracy of object placement, structures, local landmarks, and characteristic landscape points on the simulator's 3D terrain map was verified by comparing coordinates and elevations. The accuracy of determining topographic data for targets, calculating corrections for deviations from standard firing conditions, and determining fire settings for various artillery systems with standard ammunition was also checked. The possibilities of using this computer range for performing individual fire missions on simulation tools were evaluated. A comprehensive analysis of this software product's capabilities for use in the training of cadets and officers of artillery units was performed. Based on the analysis results, the primary training areas in which the Kanonir product is appropriate to use were identified. The results of a pedagogical experiment conducted using the Kanonir product in the training of cadets in the Shooting and Fire Control course were presented. Additionally, practical recommendations were provided for preparing, setting up, using, and, overall, improving the effectiveness of this software in the training of cadets and artillery officers.
