Three-Dimensional Targets for the Pop-Up Devices M31A1 and 3C52

Abstract

Efforts to develop a three-dimensional realistic target are described. Targets were fabricated from polyethylene for use with vibration sensing pop-up target devices. The frontal silhouette was that of the kneeling target now in use. The depth of the figure was eight inches. Two target configurations which were found to be suitable were tested during the contract. These targets were a half-round of a soldier with regular geometric sections suggesting head and body. A decal covering the plastic target provided color and detail. The Aggressor Formed target was made to have facial details (eyes, nose, etc.) and uniform detail (pockets, sleeve creases, etc.) molded into the part. Both of these targets were capable of providing high response accuracy when mounted in the pop-up device.
