Missile Training Unit Fault Memory Simulation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current missile training units fail to provide realistic training for personnel due to the need for actual faults in training missiles, which poses safety risks and deviates from real operational missiles, limiting the effectiveness of training simulations.
Innovation Solution
A missile training unit with a training missile equipped with a fault memory that can import simulated error data and software, allowing for realistic training scenarios without altering the missile hardware, and featuring a configuration device to load training mission software and prevent accidental deployment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If actual hardware errors are generated in the training missile to provide realistic training scenarios, then training realism is improved, but safety risks increase and the missile hardware is altered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the fault state by loading simulated fault data into the fault memory, rather than creating actual hardware faults. This allows the training missile to replicate the behavior of a faulty missile without actually having hardware failures, thus maintaining safety while achieving training realism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the state of the fault memory from a normal state to a simulated fault state by loading fault data. This parameter change enables the missile to exhibit faulty behavior for training purposes without altering the physical hardware, resolving the contradiction between realism and safety.
2Reliability
If actual hardware errors are generated in the training missile to provide realistic training scenarios, then training realism is improved, but the missile hardware is altered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses software-based fault simulation that copies the behavioral characteristics of hardware faults without physically altering the hardware. The fault memory stores simulated fault data that replicates the effects of actual hardware failures while preserving the integrity of the missile's physical structure.
3Stability of the object's composition
If training missile hardware is kept unchanged to maintain similarity with operational missiles, then hardware integrity is preserved, but the ability to simulate realistic fault conditions is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical hardware fault creation with a software-based fault simulation system. Instead of mechanically or physically altering the missile hardware to create faults, the system uses software to load simulated fault conditions into the fault memory, achieving the same training effect without hardware modification.
4Stability of the object's composition
If fault simulation is performed entirely outside the UAV on an external computer, then the UAV hardware remains unchanged, but the training effectiveness for handling defective UAVs is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the training missile to autonomously manage fault simulation by incorporating a fault memory and configuration device within the missile itself. The missile can load, store, and process fault data independently, making the training system more self-contained and effective without requiring external computers for fault simulation.
Data Source
AI summary
The training unit has a training flight body (1) forming an unmanned missile, and a configuration unit (2) connected to the missile of the flight body that includes an error storage unit (13). The configuration unit is formed in such a manner that simulated error data and/or error image are provided in the storage unit. A flight body-hardware remains unchanged, and the missile is presented as simulated error that is stored in the storage unit. The flight body includes data storage, and training mission software is provided in a data storage unit.
