The improvement of communication technology for electronic shooting target gallery system / Sarifazura Mohammad Isa

Effective firearms training requires much more than simply shooting at a stationary target. In the real world/ in reality, threats move, hide behind covers, and protect themselves behind innocent hostages. To ensure that the force or department is completely or fully prepared for all types of shooting scenarios, it is critical that training activities mimic real-life encounters closely. For this reason, Electronic Shooting Target Gallery is an effective system that will be useful for firearms training at all levels, from the new recruit training to mandatory qualifications to advanced reactive training exercises for special units. Target Shooting System is developed by the convergence of sensor, network and wireless communication technologies. Target Shooting System is a new research area for training purpose and its technology features has a wide application future. Militaries are very interested in this system. Wireless sensor networks are designed not for universal applications but for specific applications as the necessity for hardware and software in different application platforms are not the same. These papers present a research and comparison of the old and new upgrade that applies to Target Shooting System communication. Using wireless LAN would provides new solution for the training evaluation of hitting the target. Not only it will improve the efficiency of target practice training but also enhance the army’s combat effectiveness. In addition, this solution also promote the process of information construction for the army and develops a control system application. In accordance to the requirement of orientation precision of target in shooting range, some of the analysis for several object orientation technologies in common use in wireless, contrasted advantages and disadvantages of each technology have been carried out.
