Mini-Tank Hit Detection System.

Abstract

The US Army Human Engineering Laboratory is developing a scaled configuration of a tank. Designated as the HEL Fire Control Research Target (FCRT), the vehicle is designed to accept caliber .50 spotter rifle fire. Accelerometers, located on the interior of the vehicle, detect hits and transmit the data via the vehicle radio/intercom system to the crew and the control station.
