The tracking trainer is an equipment for practicing every step of firing missile, targeting either a real target or a virtual target with the IR source in the field. The main components of the tracking trainer are the training missile round, dummy BCU, battery pack, and battery charger. The tracking practice missile is equipped with a controller instead of a warhead, and a propulsion and ejection motor. The launcher system for the tracking trainer is the same as the actual launcher system; the size, shape, electronic and mechanical interface are exactly the same as the actual equipment. This paper shows that the previously researched cooled type tracking missile has limitations in its tracking range and is inadequate for repeated practice, especially under unusual environments. This study suggests some improvements in the range of the cooled type tracking missile so that it could be used more repeatedly. The main configurations of Chiron consist of missiles in container, launcher system, tracking trainer, simulator, and mobile maintenance equipment. In this paper, we adopt an un-cooled type seeker for the tracking trainer so that it does not require nitrogen gas injection for operation. As the consequence, the system has become very cost effective. The controller which shows the status of tracking training is also designed to be integrated into the missile for more convenient operation.
