Abstract: Manual LOS (Line of Sight) guidance system of the antitank missiles requires a human operator in the guidance loop. Its task is to track both the target and the missile, and to generate commands in order to bring the missile into LOS. The efficiency of the guidance depends on the skill of the human operator. One type of the training simulator for manual LOS guidance, whose realization is based on simulation of the missile silhouette over the prerecorded movies of the background with fixed and moving target, is given in the paper. Coordinates of the target, having been read from the recorded movies of the background, are transformed to the real position of the target in the space. These target positions in function of time are input to the mathematical model of the missile movement relative to the target. The calculated coordinates of the missile are transformed to the missile silhouette position on the screen display of the training simulator. The complete mathematical model and description of the hardware realization with results of the characteristic simulation are given in the paper.

Key words: Antitank missile, Manual LOS (Line of Sight) guidance, Training simulator.
