Laser Man Versus Man Weapon Fire Simulation

Abstract

The report describes a man versus man semiconductor laser weapon fire simulation system that eliminates the requirement that the trainee wear on his body numerous laser detectors that impede his motion and are subject to damage. The system uses retroreflective material and two transmitted eyesafe laser beams. The first beam, when reflected, ascertains a hit and the second broad beam communicates this data back to the man who is hit. Detectors on the helmet receive the hit information.
