Automatic Grenade Launcher

Abstract

The remotely operated vehicle (ROV) grenade launcher is a weapon system, which can launch grenade remotely by a human operator, remotely operated vehicle has a launching range of up to 40 meters. It is a launcher designed to be capable of destroying enemies(snipers) hiding in buildings. It has a firing range for up to 40 meters. It launches grenades remotely by a launcher mounted on the vehicle. The grenade will also be loaded into the launcher automatically by using motors so that there is greater precision in handling the grenades, which are yet to be launched. This system also has a mechanism to remove the safety pins of the grenade. The camera mounted on the remotely operated vehicle is to provide video surveillance at operator. The whole system is operated remotely by Wi-Fi to control various operations. The vehicle is connected to the launcher by a micro controller kit and the interfacing is done accordingly. The Army can rely on the automatic grenade launcher to fulfil the requirement. In particular, the REMOTELY OPERATED VEHICLE grenade launcher allows for the use of a launcher mounted on a remotely operated vehicle to be operated remotely and deploy grenades with a video assistance. Along with the launcher’s position, remotely accessible camera, and the motion of the remotely operated vehicle are interfaced to a microcontroller. The safety pin removal system to remove safety pin of the grenades is also integrated to the circuit. Usage of the belt tires will help to minimize noise and favours the disguise of the vehicle. The video assists a wider vision to the operator, which helps to set the position of the launcher. In cases of incursions by the terrorists and capturing hostages, this REMOTELY OPERATED VEHICLE will be an important asset, this system puts at an added advantage to secure parameters without a human life risk.
