Manual Command to Line of Sight (CLOS) guidance systems of antitank missiles require a human operator in the guidance loop. His task is to track both the target and the missile, and to generate commands in order to bring the missile into the Line of Sight (LOS). The efficiency of the guidance depends on the skill of the human operator. One type of the training simulator for manual LOS guidance, the realization of which is based on the simulation of the missile silhouette over the prerecorded videos of the background with fixed and moving targets, is given in the paper. The coordinates of the targets, read from the recorded videos of the background, are transformed into the real positions of the targets in the space. These target positions in a function of time are the input to the mathematical model of the missile movement relative to the target. The calculated coordinates of the missile are transformed into the missile silhouette position on the screen display of the training simulator. The complete mathematical model and the description of the hardware realization with the results of the characteristic simulation are given in the paper.
Key words: antitank missile, guided missile, TV training simulator, TV visor.
