Shooting Simulator «Inhibitor»: Technical Assignment Analysis

The structure of the software of the shooting simulator, including the database of exercises for monitoring academic performance, is described and an analysis of the tactical and technical task is carried out with proposals for improving the optoelectronic shooting simulator 'Inhibitor' developed at Institute of mechanics UdmFRC UB RAS and at Computer facilities department of Kalashnikov ISTU jointly with JSC «Kalashnikov» Concern». Analysis of the tactical and technical task for the simulator showed that all items out of 33 were fully completed, except for two. One (displaying the smoke effects of a grenade launcher shot) was completely removed from the requirements due to high resource intensity, the other (supporting the upper tier for placing shooters of the mountain version of the simulator deployment) was made conditionally due to the fundamental impossibility of displaying a simultaneous target situation for the upper and lower tiers. Two mathematical models of the mountain variant are studied: with the 'fictitious' position of the upper-level shooter and with a change in the projection of the target situation only for the upper tier. From the experience of operating the simulator, plans are formulated for modernization (simplified version for 2-3 jobs, expansion of the range of supported weapons) and improvement (mobile simulator with virtual reality elements). The description of the last component of the simulator software is given - the structure of the database of shooting exercises with the interface of analysis of results and printout of protocols. The literature review confirms the promise of further research and development of electronic shooting simulators through the improvement of computing tools and the development of software libraries in order to increase the information accessibility of the results of shooting exercises for analysis. It is necessary to constantly expand the capabilities of electronic shooting simulators and reduce the cost, and, therefore, increase their competitiveness
