Mini Paseo Automatic Target Tracking Firing System

Modern defense and surveillance systems require intelligent target detection, tracking, and response mechanisms to reduce human intervention and increase operational accuracy. This paper presents the design and implementation of a Mini PASEO Automatic Target Tracking and Firing System, inspired by real- world military panoramic aiming and surveillance systems. The proposed system integrates an ESP-based embedded controller, camera module, servo-based pan-tilt mechanism, DC motor drive system, and transmitter-based identification logic to automatically detect, track, and classify targets. The architecture enables real- time video processing for color-based object detection and automatic alignment of the turret system. A relay-controlled firing mechanism is activated only after enemy identification, ensuring operational safety. The system demonstrates closed-loop tracking, direction control, and firing logic in a compact robotic tank model. Performance analysis shows improved tracking accuracy, reduced manual intervention, and enhanced targeting precision. Future scope includes AI-based object detection, GPS integration, and autonomous navigation.
