SHOOTING TRAINER WITH OPTOELECTRONIC DETECTOR Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: trainer targets for training in shooting from small arms without any use of ammunition. SUBSTANCE: trainer has a computer, monitor, trainer screen carrying two rows of radiators (infrared diode) at a constant spacing connected to the control unit. The trainer has also several identical channels (up to eight), each having a training weapon with a trigger mechanism, provided with a contact closing the electric circuit at pushing of the trigger and an optoelectronic transducer installed on the muzzle end, as well as amplifiers of photocurrents, circuits for fixing the maximum signal level and analog-to-digital converters. The trainer has a rectangular diaphragm and a four-section photodetector (photodiode) positioned behind it in a spaced relation. The spacing in the vertical and horizontal provides for simultaneous presence within the angle of the field of vision of the optoelectronic transducer of minimum four radiators at weapon laying to any point of the screen (target). EFFECT: enhanced accuracy of measurement of coordinates, reduced time between adjacent measurements with training of conducting of group combat (co-operation of soldiers of a sub-unit). 3 dwg
