METHOD OF TRAINING PRECISION WEAPONS OPERATORS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC F41G3/26 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method comprises using standard hardware to generate stabilises aiming line and coordinator data channel aligned therewith, simulating loading, shooting, tracking the target by aiming line, and outputting the estimate. Note here that guided missile light source simulator is placed at target simulator while simulators of shot, launch, lock-in and dynamics of flight to target are places at sight. Guided missile light source simulator is switched on, it is locked on by control system, trainee aligns aiming light with target simulator aiming point to measure distance thereto, and measured value is converted into flight time to simulate shot and missile launch. Aiming line is retained at aiming point during missile flight to target simulating dynamics of missile flight to continuously measure deviation of aiming line from light source simulator. Thereafter, measured deviations are compared to target simulator sizes.

EFFECT: faster training, lower costs.
