Project Description

This project aims to develop an automated turret, ALT-F4, designed to enhance area defense by integrating adaptive threat detection, trajectory calculations, and target tracking. Unlike traditional manual surveillance, which requires continuous human vigilance and poses safety risks, this system provides a reliable, automated alternative. The turret will detect shapes from a predefined library, notify users of intrusions, and allow them to add new targets to the database based on input. Once a target is identified and locked in position, the system will execute a firing command as directed. Core objectives include achieving 80% accuracy in projectile trajectory calculations, compatibility with various motorized Nerf blasters, and ensuring effective target tracking. .
