Laser weapons simulation system

In a fire simulator device adapted to be mounted on a weapon for emitting an output signal in response to the mechanical force generated by the firing mechanism of the firearm, a laser transmitter, comprising:

• a laser head assembly adapted to sequentially transmit a plurality of beams of light, said assembly including an adjustable objective lens to defocus the trajectory of the transmitted beams to cause an overlapping beam pattern;
• means associated with said laser head assembly to activate the latter upon firing the weapon to transmit said beams of light;
• sensor means adapted to sense the transmitted beams of light;
• memory means for storing and decoding the beam pattern detected by said sensor means;
• means associated with said laser head asembly for timing the transmittal of said beams of light;
• circuit means coupled to the output of said assembly for forming said plurality of sequentially transmitted beams of light into a four-beam overlapping pattern of beams, said circuit means including four laser diodes each having their output coupled to fiber optics, and a collimating lens, quad trigger packs being coupled to said laser diodes to drive the latter;
• and
• means associated with said sensor means to indicate a direct hit and near-miss of at least a portion of said beam overlapping pattern of beams.
