Radar Sensing Missile Launching System (RSMLS)
Project Description: The Radar Sensing Missile Launching System (RSMLS) is an automated missile launching prototype designed to detect, track, and engage moving targets using radar and ultrasonic sensors. The system integrates AI-based trajectory prediction and intelligent threat classification to enhance precision and minimize human intervention. With IoT-enabled remote monitoring and control, the system provides a cost-effective and scalable solution for autonomous defense applications.
Overview: Traditional missile defense systems require significant human input and often rely on pre-programmed target data. RSMLS enhances automation by leveraging real-time sensor data and AI-driven analytics to predict target movements and determine optimal engagement strategies. The system is designed to be portable and modular, making it suitable for both research and field applications.
Hardware Components: Radar Sensors Ultrasonic Sensors ESP32 Microcontroller Raspberry Pi IoT Communication Modules
Software and Development Tools: Python (for AI and machine learning implementation) C++ (for ESP32 microcontroller programming) TensorFlow / PyTorch (for ML-based trajectory prediction) OpenCV (for object detection and tracking) MQTT / HTTP (for IoT-based remote monitoring)
Machine Learning Model: The system employs a deep learning model for:
- Trajectory Prediction: Uses historical movement data to estimate the future path of a target. Implemented using Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to improve accuracy.
- Threat Classification: Uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to classify objects detected by the radar system, distinguishing between different target types (e.g., friendly vs. hostile).
- Anomaly Detection: Incorporates an autoencoder-based anomaly detection model to identify unexpected movements or unidentified objects.
