A guidance deviceis provided with a processing devicethat generates a control signal to control a propulsion deviceof a flying objectand a communication devicethat transmits the control signal to the propulsion deviceThe processing devicegenerates a patrol control signal to control the propulsion deviceso that the flying objectflies along a first patrol path and generates, based on information of a moving object that the flying objectis to intercept, an interception control signal to control the propulsion deviceso that the flying objectflies toward the moving object. In addition, the processing devicegenerates, when generating the interception control signal, a notification signal to notify that the flying objectflies toward the moving object.

Guidance device, flying object, air defense system and guidance program

In a guiding device, a communication device receives a signal containing detection data of a target, and a processing unit. In the processing unit, a course setting section sets a flight course for a lofted flight based on the detection data, and a guiding section determines a progressing direction based on the flight course and outputs a guidance signal containing the progressing direction. The course setting section sets a first flight course when the flying object is launched. Also, the course setting section changes the first flight course to a second flight course based on the detection data after launching of the flying object.

Guiding device, flying object and guiding method

A launched flying object is configured to continue to transmit a signal to a launching device. The launching device is configured to continue to receive the signal from the launched flying object, continue to calculate a probability when the launched flying object intercepts a target from a distance, a relative velocity and a relative angle between the launched flying object and the target, and output a final interception probability when communication from the launched flying object is stopped.

Interception probability calculation system, flying object and interception probability calculating method

A threat degree of each of targets is numerized based on data obtained by observing the targets after launching of the flying objects. Also, the firepower of flying object is numerized based on the state of flying object after the launching. The optimal assignment of firepower is calculated based on the numerized threat degrees and firepower, and is shared by the flying objects. Each flying object intercepts the target specified based on the optimal assignment.

Firing control system and firing control method

A target assignment system includes a sensor system which detects a position of a moving vehicle, an assigning section which determines the launcher system assigned with the moving vehicle in response to the position of the moving vehicle and generates a first display signal which shows the moving vehicle and a first launcher system, a display section which displays the moving vehicle and the assigned launcher system in real time in response to the display signal, and an input section which instructs a change of the assigned launcher system. The assigning section generates a second display signal in which the first launcher system is changed to a second launcher system, in response to an instruction of assignment change.

Target assignment system, command system, and target assignment method

An information processing apparatus includes a selection section. When the information processing apparatus makes an image forming apparatus perform image formation on a presentation file including first information on a first output image and second information on a second target output image associated with the first output image based on the first information and the second information, the selection section selects a target output image on which the image formation is performed from among the second output image.
