A Design Proposal of Integrated PC-Architecture Embedded Control System for Remotely Operated Weapon Station

Article Preview

Abstract:

Modern warfare has led the concept of remotely operated weapon station for increasing force protection while maintaining lethality. There is a need for an efficient embedded control system for certain kind of system. A design proposal of an integrated PC-architecture embedded control system for remotely operated weapon station is presented. The hardware of the system is based on the 486DX2 processor running at 100MHz with coprocessor, which is a Pentium class platform. Hardware/software co-design methods and tools have been discussed after the system configuration is decided. The software design consideration for the control system has been presented according to multi-task programming of VxWorks
