Abstract

The rapid growth of virtual reality technology in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution has accelerated scientification of combat training systems in addition to ICT(information and communications technology) in military field. Recently, research and development of simulators based on virtual reality have been actively conducted in order to solve sensitive issues such as increase of civil complaints due to the noise of a shooting range, prevention of shooting accident, and reduction of training cost. In this paper, we propose two key solutions: spatial synchronization method and modified point mass trajectory model with small angle approximation to overcome technical limitations of a current training simulator. A trainee who wears a haptic vest in a mixed reality environment built in MARS(medium-range assault rifle shooting simulator) is able to conduct not only precision shooting but also two-way engagement with virtual opponents. It is possible for trainee to receive more reliable evaluations in the MARS than an existing rifle simulator based on laser.

4차 산업혁명 시대에 가상현실 기술의 급속한 성장은 국방 분야에서도 ICT 융합과 더불어 군사훈련체계의 과학화를 가속 시키고 있다. 최근 육군에서는 사격장 소음문제에 따른 민원증가, 사격장 안전사고 예방, 그리고 훈련비용 절감과 같은 민감한 사안을 해결하기 위해 모의 사격훈련 시뮬레이터 연구개발이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 사격훈련시뮬레이터의 기술적 한계점을 살펴보고 이를 극복하기 위해 훈련자 중심의 공간 동기화 기법과 미소각 근사 수정질점탄도모델을 제안한다. 자체 개발한 정밀사격 시뮬레이터 MARS(medium range assault rifle shooting simulator)에 조성된 혼합현실(mixed reality) 환경에서 반응조끼(haptic vest)를 착용한 훈련자는 가상적군과 양방향 교전간 실시간 피격을 경험할 뿐만 아니라 실제 탄도궤도가 적용된 정밀사격훈련을 수행하게 되어 훈련 결과에 따른 신뢰 높은 훈련평가를 받을 수 있게 되었다.
