Prithvi series of tactical surface-to-surface missiles, designed for quick deployment and precision
The Akash surface-to-air missile system is another significant achievement, providing medium-
range air defense against aerial threats. Akash is an all-weather missile system capable of engaging
multiple targets simultaneously, enhancing the Indian Air Force's defensive capabilities.
The BrahMos missile, developed in collaboration with Russia, is one of the world’s fastest
supersonic cruise missiles. It can be launched from land, sea, and air platforms, making it a versatile
weapon for all branches of the military. With a speed of Mach 2.8 to 3.0, BrahMos is designed for
precision strikes against high-value targets and has been integrated into multiple platforms,
In aeronautics, DRDO has made significant strides with projects such as the Light Combat Aircraft
(LCA) Tejas, an indigenously developed multi-role fighter. Tejas has enhanced India's air combat
capabilities with its advanced avionics, weapon systems, and agility. The aircraft has been inducted
into the Indian Air Force and Navy, marking a milestone in India's aeronautical achievements.
DRDO has also been at the forefront of developing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) like the
Rustom and Nishant. These UAVs are designed for reconnaissance, surveillance, and target
acquisition, providing critical real-time intelligence to the armed forces. The Rustom series, in

RESULT
The project achieved its goal of creating a real-time missile trajectory visualization system
using SFML (Simple and Fast Multimedia Library) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
communication. The client-server architecture was effectively implemented, where the client
reads missile trajectory data from a text file in the T(X,Y,Z) format and transmits it to the
server. The server then processes this data and visualizes it in real-time.
The client-side implementation successfully parsed the trajectory data and sent it to the server
with minimal delay. On the server side, the application received this data through UDP, a
protocol chosen for its low latency and efficiency in handling real-time data transmission. The
use of SFML for visualization proved to be effective; it provided smooth and accurate
rendering of the missile trajectories across four distinct graphical windows. These windows
displayed trajectories along different axes (X, Y, Z) and a combined view, offering a
During testing, the system consistently updated the graphical plots within the required 100ms
window. This responsiveness was crucial for applications where timely data visualization is
imperative. The SFML library facilitated the creation of dynamic and interactive graphical

System Performance and Achievements
The primary objective of this project was to create a system capable of receiving, processing, and
visualizing real-time missile trajectory data with minimal delay. The client-server architecture
