Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If sequential targeting and shooting procedure is used, then shooting accuracy can be maintained, but the time required to engage multiple targets increases proportionally with the number of targets
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting multiple targets and pre-calculating the optimal shooting sequence before actual engagement. The control device identifies all targets in the field of view, determines their positions and movements, and establishes a predetermined shooting order, allowing the weapon system to be ready to engage multiple targets without sequential delays
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the shooting procedure by continuously monitoring target positions and movements. The control device recalculates the optimal shooting sequence in real-time based on changing target configurations, maintaining shooting accuracy while adapting to dynamic combat scenarios where targets may move or new targets may appear
2Measurement precision
If manual target selection is used, then shooting accuracy can be ensured, but the complexity of operation increases when multiple targets are involved
Solution Approach 1:
The control device performs self-service by automatically detecting targets, extracting target information, and determining the optimal shooting sequence without requiring manual intervention. The system uses image processing and algorithmic calculation to autonomously identify targets and prioritize them based on threat level, position, and movement, freeing the operator from complex manual target selection while maintaining high accuracy
3Measurement precision
If repeated targeting process is used for multiple objects, then each target can be engaged with precision, but the productivity of the weapon system decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple targeting operations into a single integrated process. Instead of sequentially acquiring and engaging each target separately, the control device simultaneously detects all targets, processes their information together, and executes a coordinated engagement sequence, effectively combining multiple precision targeting operations into one efficient workflow that maintains accuracy while dramatically increasing productivity
