Abstract

This paper presents design and implementation of a Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) for a tank-shooting trainer. The developed system involves a highly modular collection of software packages designed to facilitate the creation of devices, it also involves a hardware interface between hardware fabrications - a circuit of microcontroller - and the used integrated software packages. In our system we simulate the gunner’s station only in a virtual environment. This paper gives an analysis of the main features of the real system, the design of our proposed simulator parts and it’s operation, and the software implementation that is used for integrating all the functions of our proposed simulator.
