Target tracking system: Pan tilt

Abstract

This project aims to develop and utilize a pan tilt system to track the target's movement. The target's movements are viewed using a camera that is mounted on the system before launching the missile. The mode of tracking may be either manual or automatic. Once, the target is fixed, the operator fires the missile which shall eventually hit the target. The pan-tilt is made by assembling the corresponding mount and motors. A joystick controls the pan tilt remotely and wirelessly through an encrypted Radio Frequency data communication link so as to prevent data breaches by the enemy in the combat area. The idea arises from the need for systems that will precisely hit the target without causing any significant damage to the surroundings, thus reducing the loss of life and property.
