Abstract

This article describes the design and application of enemy ships equipped with sensors. Ultrasonic waves emitted from the radar model by the ultrasonic sensor travel through free space, scanning the surrounding space. When an enemy ship or boat is detected, the rotating radar mechanism locks onto the unknown craft and begins firing until the ships disappear from range. Registered vessels have a transmission link with the Master Control Unit, so that they can be identified and navigated openly at sea. This is the primary goal of this work, and the design of the entire mechanism over work is for demonstration purposes. When the system is turned on, a motor placed above the ultrasonic sensor begins to spin, detecting enemy ships with a range of about two feet. Narrow scope as it is a prototype module. Using a simulated weapon that works in conjunction with a radar mechanism that points in the direction of ultrasonic waves, when the system detects an unauthorized vessel, it produces a machine gun sound with flashing LEDs. When the system detects the permitted vessel, the green LED will illuminate and it will display the vessel details on the LCD screen. A red LED also illuminates when a rogue vessel is detected. The fully operational device sits atop a 15-inch tall metal tower framework, designed to mimic operational offshore towers for radar systems. The rotational mechanism is capable of traversing the range from 0 to 300 degrees, its speed limited by limit switches. The core processor is equipped with an 89c52 microcontroller chip, while the LCD displays whether the shipment is authorized. Upon detection of an authorized vessel in the infrared range, data transmission occurs, delivering the details via the Vessel Detail LCD.
