The RTU is controlled by a Central Work Station.The module includes analysis of some of the components by using ANSYS software, Simulation by using CATIA V5 R18 software and fabrication of RTU leads to a Product Development.
Ambushes Leading Cause of Officer Fatalities - When Every Second Counts: Analysis of Officer Movement from Trained Ready Tactical Positions
Law Enforcement Executive Forum, 2015
Recently, the threat of ambush assaults to police officers has dangerously increased. These assaults can occur very rapidly, and to be better prepared to respond, it is important to understand the speed of officer responses and any advantages officers may gain from various tactical techniques. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to understand and examine officer movement times from various finger-indexing positions as well as the speed at which officers can fire their weapons from various starting positions. In the first experiment, officers (n = 52) fired their weapons from four trained finger-index positions to measure their time to fire. In the second experiment, officers (n = 68) fired their weapons from various starting, or tactically ready, positions to measure the speed of movement to weapon discharge. Results of Part One showed that contrary to training, all indexing positions were similar in time to contact the trigger, except indexing high on the slide. Part Two revealed that point shooting was significantly faster than aimed shooting as well as that the Low-Ready position was the fastest from which to fire, and the High-Guard ready position was the slowest. These results may provide analytical and training implications to improve the safety of officers.

Training Aids for Basic Combat Skills: A Procedure for Training-Aid Development
There is a need to augment existing Army training approaches to address the differential rates and stages of learning evidenced among Soldiers. One way to easily modify existing training approaches is to make adjunct training aids available to trainers for use when appropriate. The fact that basic combat skills represent a heterogeneous skill set and are trained to Soldiers with large variability in skills and knowledge suggests that training aids may have a significant impact when used to train basic skills. This report describes a training-aid development process and provides a brief summary of training aids produced: a set of 200-meter zero targets, two aids to assist in the marksmanship zero process, material to reinforce and practice grid-coordinate skill, and a video capture and playback system. An assessment was conducted for each prototype training aid to determine its training value and to gain feedback for possible revisions. Each training aid contributed to enhanced Soldier performance. Details on the design, development, and assessment for each of the prototypes are provided in separate reports.
Opinions Regarding the Impact of Self-Defense Techniques in the Training of the Land Forces Fighter

Throughout time, people have had to use their own body to defend themselves from an attack when weapons were not available, close combat being the oldest form of combat known to man. As the human being evolved, a series of accumulations took place in everyday life, the techniques and methods of struggle enriching their content and reaching near perfection. The paper presents a series of opinions regarding the contribution of close combat techniques in the training of the Land Forces soldiers because, through the particularly complex demands they exert on the human body, they lead to obtaining positive, multiple and unique effects, creating the conditions for a training exceptional for the purpose of adapting the fighter to the demands of the battlefield at the beginning of this century.
Make in India: Robots for Military Purpose
2011
This paper illustrates the prototype robot, specifically called as Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV), developed for the military purpose. There are four different modes to control the UGV: command controlled mode, self controlled mode, gesture controlled mode and raptor controlled mode. Our prototype UGV is built to undertake missions like border patrol, surveillance and in active combat both as a standalone unit (automatic) as well as in coordination with human soldiers (manual). A person from a remote place can comfortably control the motion of the robot wirelessly (manual mode) and in situations where manual control is not prudent, the vehicle is capable of reaching the pre-programmed destination on its own (automatic mode). In other arduous cases, UGV can use gesture mode and raptor mode. The complete set up and working of the UGV are described in the paper.

AI and the Future of Air Combat in India
Journal of Defence Studies, 2022
In India, a significant part of the defence budget is being spent on traditional systems—that is, more than on autonomous systems—and there is a slow pace in the development of advanced fighter jets. The time-frame for the development and manufacture of aircraft frequently hampers the development of the Indian aerospace industry. Though India has entered the AI race, China will continue to lead in AI development even in the coming ten years. Unlike the technological programs in developed countries which can afford to fail first and fail faster, India does not have this luxury due to the paucity of resources. It is, therefore, necessary to recognize what kind of AI India needs.

The Automation of Combat Decision Processes in the Simulation Based Operational Training Support System
2007 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Security and Defense Applications, 2007
The interactive simulation environment for training (and/or analysis) of military operations is presented as the Simulation Based Operational Training Support System (SBOTSS). The system was constructed in order to provide costeffective approach of Computer Assisted Exercises and it is an integrated, interactive, many-sided land, analysis and training support model based on particular components equipped with combat, logistics, engineering, electronic warfare and intelligence functions. The idea and model of command and control process applied for the decision automata at the tactical level are presented. The automata executes the two main processes: decision planning process and direct combat control. The decision planning process relating to the automata contains three stages: the identification of a decision situation, the generation of decision variants (course of actions) the variants evaluation and nomination the best variant of these, which satisfy the proposed criteria. The particular approach to identification of decision situation and variants of action are presented. The procedure of variants generation based on some kind of pre-simulation process contains the evaluation module, which allows us the best choice of action plan according to specified criteria. The direct combat control process contains such phases, like command, reporting and reaction to fault situations. Some results of the simulation process including the decisions made by automata is considered. The calibration process on the basis of battle scenarios is described and presented.
8 Corrective Self Defense Training Unit using sensing of
2015
In the sports fields and technology, the accuracy of an athlete can never be monitored with 100 % accuracy with naked eyes. Moves that are done by an athlete or a sports person in the game such as his stride length and the stride frequency cannot be easily seen by a person and hence, detection and correction of the minute mistakes that are being made are overlooked. For instance, while doing push-ups a person‟s head, neck, waist and ankle should be in a single straight line. In this paper, we discuss a sports training system which uses Microsoft Kinect for motion sensing. The infrared depth stream translates the presence of a user in real world, into digital space by tracking his/her joint coordinates. As per our empirical studies, Kinect maps the x,y and z coordinates of 20 primary joints of the body. This data forms the basis of our calculations as elaborated in the literature. This work gives a basis of how movements and postures may be corrected by the use of sensors like Kinect...

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) Based Automatic Firing Practice System (Afps) for Training of Law Enforcement Agencies (Leas)
International Journal of Digital Information and Wireless Communications, 2014
The critical importance of an efficient infantryman in special operations force, tactical paramilitary and Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) is insurmountable. One of the many vital aspects of an effective solider is excellent marksmanship which requires extensive training at sophisticated firing ranges. Modern firing ranges are supported by Automatic Firing Practice Systems (AFPS) and this paper presents the design and development of such a system based on WSN. AFPS provide an automatic bullet-impact count during firing training session and is modular scalable in design for multiple of eight concurrent shooters. The system is versatile and flexible allowing for different small-arms and firing training modes and supports night firing exercise. AFPS comprises of two major components, the automatic target-box and a commander console. Automatic target-box has a motor & gear assembly, target sheet, bullet-impact sensor, control board, and WiFi communication module. Commander console is a ruggedized sunlight readable 10.4" Tablet PC, which with a built-in WiFi acts an access point. The automatic target-boxes equipped with embedded WiFi modules form sensor nodes of a WSN. The paper presents the complete System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) of the firing practice system and associated WSN. The AFPS and bullet-impact sensor was extensively tested on Firing Ranges for accuracy of bullet-impact count. The results showed a bulletimpact count accuracy of over 97 percent.
Training of command staff for the use of units in crisis situations based on the application of modern technology
Vojno delo
in Belgrade, Military Academy risis situations of the last decades occupy a significant place due to the consequences they create (expressed in losses that amount to hundreds of human lives and enormous amounts of money). Management in such crisis situations is conditioned by a large number of factors that need to be analyzed in detail during the preparation for prospective (expected) future crises. A possible way of reducing the consequences is the preparation of command management staff for such situations. Preparations based on the application of modern technologies (remote and simulation software) significantly result in better training of command structures for response and handling crisis situations. The required quality is achieved through the application of the distance learning platform, where individuals choose the time and place of learning, which creates the conditions for more focused and higher-quality training on simulation software. The Janus simulation software has been used in this paper. It enables training people (through different scenarios) to respond in different situations. An unlimited number of repetitions of different or the same scenarios allow people to train to respond to an unlimited number of different situations. 1
