1. An operating device configured to remotely control an arming device comprising a range finder and an imaging device, the operating device comprising a processor configured to:
confirm a tracking image at each firing time point of a laser beam transmitted by the range finder;
determine that a target is normally locked on based on an image correlation value of the target locked on by a tracking gate in the tracking image exceeding a threshold value;
determine whether the laser beam from the range finder hits the target determined as being normally locked on based on a center value of the tracking image and a center value of the tracking gate; and
determine a range measurement value measured by the range finder as a true value of the target based on the image correlation value exceeding the threshold value and the laser beam from the range finder hitting the target normally locked on, and determine other range measurement values as wrong measurement values based on the image correlation value being less than or equal to the threshold value,
wherein the processor is further configured to determine that the laser beam from the range finder hits the target normally locked on based on a first area of the laser beam hitting the target being greater than or equal to a first preset value, and
wherein the processor is further configured to:
based on a second area where the laser beam overlaps the tracking gate being greater than or equal to a second preset value, classify and display the target as a range-measurable shape, and
based on the second area where the laser beam overlaps the tracking gate being less than the second preset value, classify and display the target as a range-immeasurable shape.
