Abstract
The Tanker which is mainly used in military applications have
electronic sensors which project images of the surrounding
environment back onto the outside of the vehicle enabling it to
merge into the landscape and evade attack .The electronic
camouflage will acts like a chameleon which adopt the color as
where it is, this ability help to invisible from the place. It means
that the tanker is not disappearing but it‟s invisible with the
help of color sensor. The proposed architecture is to implement
the omran software and hardware to prevent loss of human in
the battle field.
Keywords: camouflage, electronic sensors, Omran, Evade
1 Introduction
The electronic sensor is attached to the tanker which helps to
sense the abject where the colour sensors are used to invisible
the Tanker in the battlefield. A rotating gun is designed for
front line combat. It can be operated in two modes. One is
automatic mode and other one is manual mode. In automatic
mode once the sensor sense the object the tanker stops the
movement and gun starts firing automatically. In manual mode
the operation is controlled manually. These features enable the
tanker to perform well in a tactical situation the combination of
powerful weapons fire from their tanker gun and their ability to
resist enemy fire means the tanker can take hold of and control
an area and prevent other enemy vehicles from advancing.
Consequently, tankers underwent tremendous shifts in
capability during the World Wars of the 20th century. The
project aims at designing a sophisticated tanker which is
adaptable to the environment either depending on the colour
pattern or an image background on the environment. The tanker
is automated by using several sensors such as colour sensor,
proximity sensor and infra-red sensor. They are capable of
taking automatic decisions by sensing the environment. The
battle tankers are comprised with a tanker gun and one machine
gun. It also has sophisticated fire control system, range finders,
computerised fire control and stabilizers which are used to find
the target. To allowing for a reduction in turret size, MBTs
with an autoloader need one less crew member and the
autoloader needs less space than its human counterpart.
Further, an autoloader can be designed to handle rounds which
would be too difficult for a human to load. This reduces the
silhouette which improves the MBT's target profile. The
tanker's machine guns are usually equipped with between 500
and 3000 rounds each.
2 Previous Works
In [1] the authors proposed the increased research interest in
providing uniform distribution of autonomous mobile nodes
controlled by active running software agents over an unknown
geographical area in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). This
problem becomes more challenging under the harsh and
bandwidth limited conditions imposed by military applications.
In [2] the authors proposed to assess and the real time
guarantees are compared that each proposal can offer. With
these result, next step will be evaluate and its implemented in
practical issues. In [3] it‟s a very readable resource and its
helpful for analysts and engineers those who research in the
field of engineering, industry, government and research. The
authors of [4] proposed the description and it compared the
strategies of visual measurement in the simulation environment
of AAR. The post estimation between tanker and UAV receiver
aircraft are employed in the visual measurement methods. The
authors proposed a home navigation system[5], which consists
of a wheelchair as input for it from android phone which used
the Bluetooth and navigates according to command. It is very
helpful for the physically disabled person and the senior
citizens to move anywhere inside home without any
complication. In the approach proposed by [6] there is a major
problem of this design is to minimize the electric actuator

volume and weight. In the literature [7] proposed the different
suppliers as the base platform and the application are separated.
Therefore, it generates a more complex process of integration.
In [8] the authors presented a method in which generation old
military communication network is currently used but it‟s not
an effective one because there must be many requirements
needed for the future embedded military applications. To
overcome this limitations, a new interconnection system is
needed. Full Duplex Switched Ethernet are based upon two
new communication network. To avoid this process, the second
proposal consists in keeping the current centralized
communication scheme. The real time guarantees are compared
so that each proposal can offer. To support the required time
constrained communications, this paper includes the functional
description of each proposed communication network and a
military avionic application to highlight proposals ability. In
[9] the authors focused on the description and comparison of
visual measurement strategies in the simulation environment of
AAR of UAVs. To ensure system stability when wind
turbulence is induced, the boom and station keeping controllers
are designed. To demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness
of the proposed scenarios in actual conditions, the hardware-in-
loop simulation platform is built. In [10] the researchers
discussed about the Department of Defence and the military
continually grapple with complex scientific, engineering, and
technological problems. The main goal of defence systems
analysis is not important to find out a particular solution for the
issue but it helps to solve the roadmap to a solution or to
understand the relative value of some other solution. It
discusses red teaming (the search for vulnerabilities that might
be exploited by an adversary) and its complement, blue
teaming (the search for solutions to known shortcomings).
3 Proposed Architecture In this section, we discuss about the block diagram and the
circuit diagram of proposed architecture.
A.Overview
The Tanker which is mainly used in military applications have
electronic sensors which is project images of the surrounding
environment back onto the outside of the vehicle enabling it to
merge into the landscape and evade attack .The electronic
camouflage will acts like a chameleon which adopt the color as
where it is, this ability help to invisible from the place. It means
that the tanker is not disappear but its invisible with the help of
colour sensor. The proposed architecture is to implement the
omran software and hardware to prevent loss of human in battle
field. The major disadvantage of the existing system is the
machine is visible and need a man power to control the
machine. Our aim is to construct an invisible sophisticated
tanker. This is a sophisticated tanker which senses the
movement in border area without manpower and launches its
tube towards the target. PIC16F877A is used to take control of
the device. Also by using screen and lens over the machine, it
has been invisible by adapting towards the environment. It will
change the colour pattern depends on the environment. Every
process will be handled and controlled by Microcontroller (PIC
series).Field instruments such as IR sensor used to find object
movement and range . Depends on the feedback of IR sensor,
the servo motor will turn the launching tube towards the target.
Metal sensor used to find the landmine. Selection switch will
design the mode to be operated.

C. CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
The circuit diagram clearly demonstrate the ooo operation
of the Tanker circuit.
Fig 4.Circuit Diagram
A.Overview
There are several types of power supply. Most of them are
designed to convert high voltage AC electricity to a suitable
low voltage supply for electronic circuits and other devices. A
power supply can by broken down into a series of blocks, a
particular function is perform by each. There are two types of
transformer like step-down and step- up transformer.
Fig 5.Power Supplies
B.Transformer
Step-down transformer is used here which Steps down
high voltage AC mains to low voltage AC. with little loss of
power transformers convert AC electricity from one voltage to
another. Mains electricity is AC and this because transformers
work only with AC. Step-up transformers are used to increase
the voltage and step-down transformers are used to reduce the
voltage. They are linked by an alternating magnetic field
created in the soft-iron core of the transformer and there is no
electrical connection between the two coils. The two lines in
the middle of the circuit symbol represent the core.
C.Rectifier
Rectifier are used to convert AC to DC, hence it has the
varying DC. There are several methods in connecting the
diodes to make a rectifier to convert AC to DC. Full-wave
varying DC is produced by the bridge rectifier and it is the
most important rectifier. Just two diodes if a centre-tap
transformer is used and it can act as a full-wave rectifier but its
rarely used now as the diodes are cheaper. Half-wave varying
DC is produced by a single diode and it can be used as a
rectifier but it only uses the positive (+) parts of the AC wave.
D.Smoothing (Filter)
Electrolytic capacitor which has a large value is
connected across the DC supply to act as a reservoir and
perform the smoothing, the varying DC voltage from the
rectifier is falling when it supply current to the output. For
International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Special Issue
3990
many circuits, its a satisfactory when a ripple is 10% of the
supply voltage. Fewer ripples are obtained in a larger capacitor.
When smoothing half-wave DC, the capacitor value must be
doubled.
E.Regulator
Voltage regulator ICs are comprises of two types as fixed
output voltage and variable output voltage. Fixed output
voltage are normally 5, 12 and 15V. It can be rated by the
maximum current as they can pass. All electronics circuits
require a DC power supply to work. You really do plug in the
wires of your electronic items in AC mains supply but they do
have AC to DC converters too provide DC to the circuits.

F.Infrared Sensor
Infrared (IR) sensor which is used the find the target in the
battlefield as the wavelength range from 0.74 µm and extended
appropriately to 300 µm. Its frequency range 1 to 400Hz and
include most of the thermal radiation emitted by objects near
room temperature. They change their rotational-vibration
movements when the IR light is typically emitted or absorbed
by molecules.
G.Relay
A relay is an electrically operated switch. To operate a
switching mechanism mechanically, many relays use an
electromagnet. To control a circuit by a low-power signal
relays are used where it is necessary or one signal control the
several circuits.
H. Servomotor
A servomotor which is used to move the tanker in the
battlefield. It controls the tanker movement, velocity and
acceleration. It consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor
for position feedback. Through the control wire, it is controlled
by sending an electrical pulse of variable width, or pulse width
modulation (PWM).
I.Buzzer
The buzzer has a coil inside which oscillates a metal plate
against another when given voltage difference produces sound
of a predefined frequency therefore it is said to be
electromagnetic type audio signalling device. In many
appliances, you able to hear the BEEP sound which is the
sound of buzzer.
J. Color Sensor (TCS3200)
It gives serial output of RBG value which is used to identify the
colour. Giving RGB value for the detected color, it can identify
16.7 million color shades. The detected colour is identified as
amount of three primary color values namely Red, Green &
Blue with 8 bit accuracy for each primary colour. By using
three primary color Red, Green and Blue we can separated or
combined any color.
L. RF/RX Module
RF modem can be used for applications that need two way
wireless data transmission. It features adjustable data rate and
reliable transmission distance. The communication protocol is
self-controlled and completely transparent to user interface.
The module can be embedded to your current design so that
wireless communication can be setup easily.

E.PROTEUS (PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE)
In 1998 Simone Zanella created Proteus as a fully functional
and procedural programming language. It incorporates many
functions as its derived from several other languages: C,
BASIC, Assembly, Clipper/dBase; when dealing with strings it
is especially versatile and also have hundreds of dedicated
functions; for text manipulation it is one of the richest
languages. Proteus owes its name to a Greek god of the sea
(Proteus), who took care of Neptune's crowd and gave
responses; he was renowned for being able to transform
himself, assuming different shapes. the main usage of this
language is to transform the data from one form to another.
To manipulate text and binary files, Proteus was initially
created as a multiplatform (DOS, Windows, Unix) system
utility. By adding hundreds of specialized functions then the
language was later focused on Windows, for: network and
serial communication, database interrogation, system service
creation, console applications, keyboard emulation. even
though a Linux version is still available but most of these
additional functions are only available in the Windows flavour
of the interpreter. Proteus was designed to be practical (easy to
use, efficient, complete), readable and consistent.
Its strongest points are:
Its string manipulation is powerful;
It has comprehensibility of Proteus scripts;
Advanced data structures are available like arrays and
queues.
By adding user functions written a proteus or created
in C/C++, the language can be extended

6 Conclusions The intent was to provide an overall idea of the activities and
also some details on specifications and requirements relevant to
military applications. In the military, there are various
applications that call for much higher power than is necessary
in regular commercial vehicles, and the environment of the
application can be very harsh in terms of temperature and
vibration. Some of the important differences between military
and regular commercial applications were noted. To meet the
army‟s needs, both robust and high efficiency devices are
important. Since the military is seriously considering the
electrification of many types of equipment and vehicles, this
article described a few areas, which, hopefully, the reader will
find beneficial. There are additional activities pertaining to
power electronics and electric drives that have started recently
or have not yet been completed, and those are not included
here. This article is intended to provide a general overview of
the important technologies that are highly relevant for power
and mobility related to military applications.
