Summary: | The results obtained from rocket fire exercise of Aerial Weapon Scoring
System (AWSS) is one of key factors for improving fighter�s skills. Generally,
AWSS is currently based on the position of the explosion point in the firing range.
Observation of air-to-ground rockets firing exercise at the Air Weapon Range
(AWR) is always conducted from a far distance. To date, AWSS does not focus to
analyze the influence factors of exercise, i.e skills of fighter pilots and ground
crews, aircraft avionics systems, weapons systems, and quality of the rocket.
The proposed model to detect the rocket fire uses motion detection method
based on Image Subtraction integrated with 2D-View Geometry method. The
approach of 2D-View Geometry method produces the same perception between
the camera and computer screen which starts from the beginning of observation
up to the calculation and presentation of results.
The proposed model succesfully inform the position of the rocket
explosion point and its distance from central point, and the angle and shape of the
rocket trajectory. The results are more detailed than the actual scoring of Range
Safety Officer at AWR. These results can be analyzed and reported to the pilot so
he could make the right decision easily at his next shot, which also can be used as
materials for evaluating some influences factors of air-to-ground rocket firing
exercise completely and improve the features and functions of AWSS more better.
