Because of the having various hardware structures of
mines and increased production of different types, both retaining them in their
field and by providing various types of these mines it has become difficult to
give military training as a result of this, given mine detecting trainings
remained at much theory level.

 

In this study in order to make this training more
practically oriented a simulation will be developed.  In simulation an environment will be created
in which the user can select the type of mine, land and soil conditions that he
wanted.  At the same time, the simulated
virtual soldier and the real soldier outside will work simultaneously in a
coordinated manner.  For this, the
virtual soldier will be guided by the device that will be used by the real soldier.  With this study it is aimed to obtain an
adequate practical training that soldiers could recognize the many mine type.  In order to improve the mentioned simulation
application, information about mine detection devices and methods used in the
world is given.  In addition by
describing the scope of the training simulator software, the targeted outputs
have been revealed.

Kara mayınlarının tespiti için askeri eğitim simülasyonu tasarımı: Bir araştırma ve ön çalışma

Öz

Mayınların
çeşitli donanımsal yapılara sahip olması ve farklı tiplerdeki üretiminin
sürekli artması nedeniyle hem mayının saha içerisinde tespiti hem de farklı özellikteki
bu mayınların temin edilerek askeri eğitimin verilmesi zorlaşmıştır.  Bunun neticesinde, verilen mayın tarama
eğitimleri teori düzeyinde kalmıştır.

 

Bu çalışmada mayın
tarama eğitimini daha çok uygulamaya dönük bir hale getirebilmek için bir simülasyon
geliştirilecektir.  Simülasyonda kullanıcının
istediği mayın tipini, araziyi ve toprak koşulunu seçebileceği bir ortam
yaratılacaktır.  Aynı zamanda
simülasyondaki sanal asker ile dışarıdaki gerçek askerin eş zamanlı olarak
koordineli bir biçimde çalışması sağlanacaktır. 
Bunun için, gerçek askerin kullanacağı aygıt ile sanal askerin yönlendirmesi
yapılacaktır.  Bu çalışma ile askerlerin
birçok mayın tipini tanıyabildiği yeterli bir pratik eğitim almaları
amaçlanmaktadır.  Bahsedilen simülasyon uygulamasını
geliştirebilmek için, dünyada kullanılan mayın tarama cihaz ve yöntemleri
hakkında bilgi verilmiştir.  Ayrıca,
gerçekleştirilecek mayın tarama eğitim simülatörü yazılımının kapsamı
anlatılarak, hedeflenen çıktılar ortaya konmuştur.
