Gunnery Control Handle

This presentation outlines the design and development of a generic simulator handle for armored vehicle training. The project aims to create a lightweight and interchangeable handle that facilitates realistic training experiences for pilots. Key features include dual shafts for roll and pitch sensing, customizable controls, and innovative haptic feedback mechanisms. The presentation also addresses future plans, including material testing and prototype development, while analyzing costs and design uncertainties. This initiative aims to enhance training capabilities for various armored vehicles, such as the M1 Abrams and M2 Bradley.

  1. Gunnery Control Handle Group 9: Senior Design Deanna McKenzieMichael D. BrownWilliam Thornton

  2. Presentation Outline Background Project Introduction Center Body Handle Attachment Haptics Sensors Cost Analysis Conclusion Future Plans

  3. Background Armored Vehicles • Very expensive pieces of equipment • Pilots cannot always be trained in the field • Need for simulators to help train drivers • There are MANY types of vehicles; hence MANY different simulators

  4. Project Scope Design a generic simulator handle • Reduce Weight • Make handle interchangeable

  5. Center Body Design Aspects Two shafts = rolland pitch Accelerometer for rolland pitch sensing Top and back detachable Ribbed for support

  6. Center Body Pitch Roll Handle bar and ball bearings allow for pitch rotation Center bar and ball bearings allow for yaw rotation

  7. Handles • Detachable handles from a Generic center body • Handles can be removed from the center body • Handles customized to a different vehicle M1-Abrams M2-Bradley

  8. Handles • Properties of each handle: • Customized buttons and triggers • Will connect/disconnect with a keyed shaft Torsion spring M1-Abrams handle Keyed shaft

  9. Design Selection for Haptic Response • Opposing Clock Spring • 2 springs per handle • Customized to each handle configuration • Slide onto keyed shaft • Attach to peg on center body • Held in place by handle • Cap to allow150˚ fullangle

  10. Concept for Handle Sensing Methods Accelerometer 2 dimensional sensing X-plane measures yaw Y-plane measures pitch Attached to handle shaft through center Circuitry Unknown

  11. Cost Analysis Unknowns include: Wiring for circuitry, Plastics, Hardware

  12. Final Design
