Remote Target Hit Monitoring System.
Abstract
A marksman training system is disclosed as including a translucent diffuser target screen adapted for producing a bright spot on the rear surface thereof in response to receiving a laser light beam on the front side thereof that was fired from a laser rifle. A television camera scans the rear side of said target screen and produces a composite signal representing the position of the light spot on the rear surface thereof, after which said composite signal is broken into its X and Y Cartesian component signals and a video signal by a conventional television signal processor. Said X and Y component signals consist of numbers of pulses which are shaped and then uniquely counted by digital counters, stored in registers, and converted to a pair of analog voltage signals proportional thereto by digital-to-analog converters. A target recorder reads out said pair of analog voltage signals as a point, the location of which is comparable to the location on the aforesaid screen where it was hit by said light beam. (Author)
