Problem:
The Client aimed for complete development of a Laser Warning Receiver System for tanks,
including mechanical design. This system alerts tanks to incoming laser beams from any
direction, featuring a display and control unit to visualize threats and launch defensive
missiles in response to potential missile attacks. Additionally, it includes the development of
a Machine Learning Model utilizing high-accuracy UV cameras for precise missile detection
and identification. They entrusted Infinity-tech with their project, seeking our expertise and
insights to ensure the system’s high efficiency and effectiveness.
Solution:

Hardware and PCB Design

We undertook the design of multiple custom PCBs tailored for different critical components
of the system, all integrated into the CAN bus of the tank. This included a dedicated PCB for
the central laser receiver unit, ensuring seamless communication with all laser detector
sensors to meet the project’s requirements.
Additionally, we developed a PCB for the display unit to facilitate threat visualization and
control. Another PCB was designed for the high-accuracy UV camera, essential for
implementing advanced Machine Learning Models for missile detection.
We engineered our own laser detector sensor circuit, customized to maximize detection
accuracy and responsiveness. This integrated approach across multiple PCB designs and
sensor circuits underscores our commitment to delivering a comprehensive and reliable
Laser Warning Receiver System for the client.

Embedded Software Development

In parallel with hardware design, our team developed advanced embedded software to
manage the functionalities of the Laser Warning Receiver System. This software includes
real-time data processing algorithms to promptly interpret laser threat signals and trigger
immediate responses. We implemented adaptive signal processing techniques to reduce
false alarms while maintaining high sensitivity to genuine threats, thereby enhancing the
system’s accuracy and responsiveness.

Integration with Display and Control Unit

To provide comprehensive threat visualization and response capabilities, we seamlessly
integrated the laser receiver unit with an advanced display and control unit. This unit
features user interfaces for real-time monitoring of laser threat incidents and enables
prompt decision-making through controls for defensive missile launch protocols.
Our integration efforts focused on ensuring seamless communication between the receiver
unit and the display/control unit, optimizing user experience and operational efficiency in
critical military settings.

Machine Learning Model Implementation

To augment threat detection capabilities, we deployed a cutting-edge Machine Learning
Model utilizing high-accuracy UV cameras. This model leverages advanced computer vision
algorithms to detect and precisely identify incoming missiles, significantly enhancing the
system’s ability to differentiate between various laser sources and potential threats. Our
iterative model refinement process involved extensive training and validation to achieve
optimal performance in detecting missile trajectories and characteristics.

Mechanical Design

Our mechanical team designed all the mechanical parts and enclosures for the system,
ensuring comprehensive 360-degree coverage, including protection from above. The design
included robust water-resistant enclosures to shield sensitive electronic components from
harsh environmental conditions. We utilized advanced materials and engineering techniques
to create durable and lightweight structures capable of withstanding the demands of
military use.
Additionally, we focused on ease of integration with the tank’s existing architecture,
ensuring that all mechanical components could be seamlessly mounted and maintained. The
enclosures were designed to facilitate efficient heat dissipation, protecting internal
components from overheating during prolonged operation. Our design also accounted for
shock and vibration resistance, crucial for maintaining system integrity and functionality in
dynamic combat situations.
Overall, our mechanical design guarantees reliable performance and durability, enhancing
the effectiveness of the Laser Warning Receiver System in real-world scenarios.
