The present invention pertains to an optical weapon effect simulation method for training of soldiers at least at two different weapons, whereas each weapon is equipped as an attacking as well as a target system. The attacking system has a laser pulse transmitter and measurement unit attached to the weapon which transmits laser signals with at least two different wavelengths .lambda..sub.1, .lambda..sub.2 and detects the appropriate signal reflections. The target system is provided with at least one retro-reflector with integrated selective filter, optical receiver with selective filter and evaluation electronics. Only laser pulses of a defined wavelength are reflected or accepted by the target system. Inherent errors resulting from reflections caused by numerous targets which cannot be separated and the falsification of target positions are eliminated. Target types are identified by the attacker based upon a wavelength of laser signal received.

Weapon effect simulation method and appliance to perform this method

A shooting simulation and training method for ballistic ammunition and mole targets. Before firing the shot, a continuously repeated measurement of the target by laser measurement pulses transmitted at the weapons side is performed. A determination of the target distance and target deviation from a reference line, and storage of data derived therefrom is then performed. At the time of firing the shot, a transmission of the stored data by coded laser signals to the target is accomplished, followed by conclusion of scanning of the target. After firing the shot and during the simulated projectile flight time, measurement of the actual movement of the target relative to the receiving direction of the laser signals is determined. A score is determined by comparing the transmitted data with the target position at the end of the projectile flight time.

Method and apparatus for shooting simulation of ballistic ammunition

A device for evaluating the sighting of a target by a sighting unit along its line-of-sight during shooting simulation of a sight-controlled missile is disclosed. A laser transmitter/receiver unit is coupled to the sighting unit with independent movement therewith in at least one direction. The transmitter/receiver generates a reference light beam having a direction parallel to the transmitting direction of the transmitted laser beam. The reference beam is focused into the sighting unit and onto an angle measuring means which measures the angle between the radiation received from a missile and the line-of-sight of the sighting unit. The angle measuring means generates misalignment signals representing the angle deviation between the reference beam and the line-of-sight. These signals are then processed by a processing unit to evaluate the sighting of the target by the sighting unit.
