Design and Realization of Virtual Training System for New Type Howitzer

Virtual training system is important to improve the force operational capability. Due to urgent training needs for new type howitzer, the virtual training system was established based on analysis of a variety of training methods. From the system characteristic, the function modules were designed. Methods were specially expounded in realizing the ballistic function expression and setting up the troubles database. The process is shown to transform the trajectory coordinate system into the earth coordinate system. Meanwhile, it is suggested that troubleshooting training should be included into equipment training system. The system realizes the functions, such as threedimensional modeling, force generation, trajectory computation, troubles database establishment, evaluation, operation plan’s preparation and so on. The system is good at training effect through military trial. Keywords-Ballistic function; Howitzer; Troubleshooting; Virtual training
