US12498200 - Apparatus and method for displaying shooting area of guided missile in real time

An apparatus for displaying a shooting area of a guided missile is proposed. The apparatus may include a display, a memory, and a processor. The processor may display the shooting area of the guided missile and an indicator indicating whether the guided missile can hit a target on the display based on a size of the shooting area. The processor may display the indicator having an X-axis position calculated based on a yaw angle between a longitudinal axis line and the target and a horizontal distance from the center of the display to the shooting area, and a Y-axis position calculated based on a pitch direction angle between the longitudinal axis line and the target and a vertical distance from the center of the display to the shooting area. The indicator may indicate that the guided missile can hit the target when the indicator is displayed within the shooting area.

The patent describes an apparatus that displays the shooting area of a guided missile in real-time, utilizing a display, memory, and processor to indicate target hit capability based on calculated angles and distances. The processor generates an indicator on the display that shows whether the missile can hit a target, depending on its position relative to the defined shooting area.

Claim 1

1 . An apparatus for displaying a shooting area of a guided missile, comprising a display; a memory; and a processor configured to display the shooting area of the guided missile on the display and to display an indicator indicating whether the guided missile is able to hit a target on the display based on a size of the shooting area, wherein the processor is configured to display on the display the indicator which has an X-axis position calculated based on a yaw angle between a longitudinal axis line and the target and a horizontal distance from the center of the display to the shooting area, and a Y-axis position calculated based on a pitch direction angle between the longitudinal axis line and the target and a vertical distance from the center of the display to the shooting area, and wherein the indicator indicates that the guided missile is able to hit the target in response to the indicator being displayed within the shooting area. a display; a memory; and a processor configured to display the shooting area of the guided missile on the display and to display an indicator indicating whether the guided missile is able to hit a target on the display based on a size of the shooting area, wherein the processor is configured to display on the display the indicator which has an X-axis position calculated based on a yaw angle between a longitudinal axis line and the target and a horizontal distance from the center of the display to the shooting area, and a Y-axis position calculated based on a pitch direction angle between the longitudinal axis line and the target and a vertical distance from the center of the display to the shooting area, and wherein the indicator indicates that the guided missile is able to hit the target in response to the indicator being displayed within the shooting area.
