Design and Implementation of an Individual Shooting Simulation System and Software

Abstract

In this study, a software solution for the development of the Individual Shooting Simulation System is introduced. Shooting training for military and law enforcement is critical to mission effectiveness and safety. However, traditional shooting methods have physical, financial and safety limitations. The developed software offers a cost-effective solution to the user, thanks to its portable capabilities and user-friendly interface. The system includes laser-based targeting, image processing applications and real-time feedback. Designed in Python, the software offers easy installation and use with portable hardware. Tests have shown that the system is successful in terms of accuracy (%±1 pixels), speed (under 1 second processing time) and flexibility. Users and instructors expressed their satisfaction with the performance and ease of use of the system. Additionally, the system offers an effective learning environment for both individual and group training. In the future, it is aimed to implement the system in a wider application area with improvements such as artificial intelligence-supported image processing and mobile device compatibility. This study provides a solution that contributes to making shooting training safe, effective and accessible.
