Demo - torpedo director

The following web application presents the usage of the torpedo director together with the trainable torpedo tube mounted on the deck of the torpedo boat.

Below are some details related with the application:

  1. after loading, the torpedo director station has to be manned by pressing "To torpedo director" button
  2. the torpedo boat, which is torpedo tube carrier - is still
  3. the target has to be generated - after pressing the "Generate target" button, the target appear on the traverse port
  4. target's angle on the bow and speed are some random values, but immediately after target appearing, it is still
  5. after checking the "Show target data" checkbox, the real target course parameters will be displayed: angle on the bow, speed and distance. The real torpedo traingle and the torpedo triangle build from the values set on the torpedo director will be also displayed.
  6. after setting the target on the bow and target speed on the torpedo director, the "Start target movement" button has to be pressed - the target starts to move
  7. after aiming the torpedo tube, the torpedo has to be launched by pressing the button "Launch torpedo"
