Utvecklandet av ett målsystem för att utvärdera soldatprestanda i realtid (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

This project covers the designing, testing and evaluation of an infantry target system called “The Turtle”. The problems identified with the currently fielded target systems in the Swedish Armed Forces resulted in an idea to create a target system to better fill the gap between training and reality for soldiers on exercise. The goal was to make a target that gave the soldier realistic feedback in real-time by responding to the soldier shot placement, that was usable with indirect fire and that was field expedient. The importance of a system that offers realistic training possibilities is not lost on military organisations. The closer a unit can train to a realistic situation the better they will perform when the times comes. The system was constructed using raw materials cut with a water-jet, and electronic components such as motor drivers, accelerometers and hall-effect sensors. After testing the prototype, the conclusion was drawn that the concept was functional for the purposes of the project. While many tweaks and adjustments will have to be made in the future, good groundwork has been laid.

Abstract [sv]

Detta projekt täcker konstruktionen och utvärderingen av ett infanterimålssytem benämnt ”Turtlen”. Problemen som identifierats med de system som är i bruk hos Försvarsmakten resulterade i en idé att skapa ett mål som till en större grad fyller luckan mellan övning och verklighet för soldater under utbildning. Målet var att systemet skulle ha förmåga att ge soldaten återkoppling i realtid genom att svara på soldatens skottplacering, att det skulle vara användbart med indirekt eld, samt smidigt att transportera i fält. Militära organisationer strävar att skapa utbildning som är så realistisk som möjligt. Ju närmre utbildning och övning kan komma en realistisk situation, desto bättre kommer prestationen vara i verkligheten. Systemet konstruerades med av material skuret av vattensäkrare, och elektroniska komponenter som motorstyrkort, accelerometer, och hall-sensor. Efter att ha testat och utvärderat systemet, har slutsatsen dragits att konceptet var funktionellt utifrån målsättningen. Ett flertal justering kommer att göras framöver, men detta projekt har lagt en god bas att gå vidare från.
