Moving Target Screen Training System.

Abstract

Improved training of military personnel in tactics and use of various classes of weaponry represents an important requirement for the volunteer Army. New concepts for training devices are needed which provide effective simulation of the battlefield scenario and induce a commensurate personal involvement of the trainee. For this purpose, in cooperation with the Combat Army Training Board, an indoor training device was conceived which permits a squad of riflemen to fire in a simulated manner against a realistic target scenario presented by a motion picture. Low power (eye-safe) semiconductor laser diodes provide weapon simulation, and electronic multiplexing and data transmission permits flexible multi-station operation; a standard projector, with minor modifications, and a standard screen are used for the film presentation. All weapons operate in their normal mode, simultaneously and without any wire constraints. Attempts and hits are scored on an individual basis to determine proficiency.
