Abstract
The simulation system is used in the course of firing exercises, in particular with a laser beam, for simulating conditions which would arise if actual ammunition were used. For identifying a responder device ( ), an interrogation device ( ) transmits a coded radiation, which is detected in the responder device and is converted into electrical signals, which are supplied to a central unit ( ) on the receiving end for transmitting identification messages back to the transmitting device in accordance with decisions made by this central unit ( ). The interrogation device generates laser radiation or electromagnetic pulses or pulse bursts containing information which is coded in such a way that the response pulses being sent back by the responder device to the interrogation device additionally enable a central unit ( ) on the transmitting end to calculate the distance between the interrogation device and the responder device.
