Moving target firing simulator and a method of adjustment of said simulator

摘要

Electromagnetic pulse trains produced by means of a weapon firing mechanism are concentrated by a convergent optical system into a narrow beam which is directed towards a scale-model target provided on one lateral face with spaced photosensitive receivers. A screen provided with an opening which forms an object for the optical system is placed between this latter and a pulse generator. The contour, dimensions and distance between the opening and the optical system, the mean distance between the weapon and the target and the spatial distribution of the receivers on the target are so determined that the envelope of the center of the spot remains practically inscribed within the simplified perimeter of the target face when the spot is displaced around the target with its contour approximately tangent to one photosensitive receiver.
