Interim report TETSI-project.
Our
project started early in November,with the capstone course and as soon as we
could we arranged a meeting with the project owner. Due to our project being in
a way unique so that we can’t tell much about the technical stuff and only
describe things at a very general level. Right at the start we arranged a
meeting with the project owner Marja Tuominen from Finnish Defense Forces navy.
We went
through about the projects needs and what we are going to do. The main outcome
is to create a solution for the Navy’s need for electrical shooting targets.
Solution should eliminate the need to physically move between the shootings to
the board and see how many hits there are and patch them after. The end result
should be a system which can recognize where the bullet hit, and transmit the
data for the user to be seen from the UI we create. It will also store the data
in a database.The end result will be Finnish defense forces property. We named
our project “Tactical Electronic Target Shooting Interface”, TETSI in short.
We are
currently waiting for the security check that is Finnish Defense Forces
standard performed to every person who works for them. Due to its long process,
we don’t exactly know about the specific specs for the TETSI .We are planning
to arrange a meeting in early January to discuss those. This has not prevented
us from brainstorming ideas about how we can produce the necessary end result.
The most
important thing is to have a solution which answers the projects need
correctly. After we know the specs of the project, we will collect different
kinds of ideas, ending with the most cost effective and practical solution. The
Finnish defense forces will provide us a way to test materials and components
in practical scenarios, to see which the best for use are. We have also done
research about the same kind products, Sius and Solo. Both using a different
type of a way to triangulate the hit on the target and provide real time
feedback for the user to see. We can’t discuss about the technical ideas which
will be used in the project. We have done mind trees, rapid prototyping and
other task the course set us according to our project.
Our responsibilities
in the group are divided equally. We have a meeting every week considering the
weeks tasks set to do. Everyone contributes to the tasks and group work evenly.
Once we know the specs of the project, we will divide tasks for the group
members to do. It is important for us to keep collaborating tightly with the
project owners to provide them the result needed. If we face problems, we will
discuss and solve them with the Project owners.
