Single Controller Multi-Armament Fire Net Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems require multiple operators to control and coordinate multiple armaments, limiting real-time performance and degrees of freedom in precision strikes, especially when targeting moving targets with varying firing ranges.
Innovation Solution
A multi-armament control system using a single controller that acquires target information, constructs fire nets, and determines firing order and priority for multiple platforms with different firing ranges, adjusting fire net ranges and sections based on target movement and relative positions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a single controller is used to control multiple armaments, then the number of operators is reduced and operational efficiency is improved, but the complexity of the control system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple armament control functions into a single controller (store management computer), which consolidates the control of multiple platforms and armaments into one centralized system. This merging reduces the number of operators needed while managing the complexity through integrated architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The single controller is designed to perform multiple functions including controlling different types of armaments on multiple platforms, managing fire nets for various targets, and coordinating simultaneous or sequential firing operations. This multi-functionality allows one controller to replace multiple specialized controllers.
2Measurement precision
If coordinates are input for precision strike on entire armaments, then targeting accuracy is improved, but real-time performance and degrees of freedom are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts fire net parameters and targeting coordinates in real-time based on target movement and platform positions. Rather than using fixed pre-input coordinates, the controller continuously updates targeting data to maintain both accuracy and real-time responsiveness to changing combat conditions.
3Measurement precision
If fire net ranges and order are determined for multiple armaments with different firing ranges, then the accuracy of hitting the target is improved, but the complexity of coordination increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary calculations and determinations of fire net ranges, firing orders, and priority assignments before actual firing operations. This advance planning of coordination parameters simplifies the real-time execution by pre-resolving the complexity of multi-armament coordination.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller continuously monitors target position, platform locations, and armament status to dynamically adjust fire net parameters and firing sequences. This feedback mechanism maintains hitting accuracy while managing coordination complexity through adaptive real-time adjustments rather than rigid pre-programming.

AI summary
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a multi-armament control system is provided. The multi-armament control system includes: platforms including an armament; and an operating vehicle configured to operate the platforms based on a single controller of the operating vehicle. The operating vehicle is further configured to acquire information about a target according to presence or absence of the target, generate a position of a directing point of the target, and share the position of the directing point of the target with the platforms. At least one from among the operating vehicle and the platforms is configured to construct fixed fire nets or variable fire nets of the platforms according to whether the target moves, and by, in part, assigning priority, to each of the platforms based on the target and the firing range of the armament of the platforms.
