Abstract
A wireless target system unit for a weapon effect simulation system. A radio transmitter and receiver communicates with a control system. A laser receiver is arranged for receiving laser light from an attacking system. The wireless target system unit includes two retro-reflecting prisms arranged to retro-reflect an incident laser light from an attacking system. Each reflecting center of the retro-reflecting prisms and a sensor center of the laser receiver are mounted such that they form an isosceles triangle. The distance between the reflecting center of each retro-reflecting prism and the sensor center of the laser receiver are equal.
Claims18
A wireless target system unit for a weapon effect simulation system, said wireless target system unit comprising:
- a control system;
- a radio transmitter and receiver arranged for communication with said control system;
- a laser receiver arranged for receiving laser light from an attacking system;
- two retro-reflecting prisms arranged to retro-reflect an incident laser light from an attacking system, said laser light have a laser pulse pattern comprising of a first laser lobe, a second laser lobe and a third laser lobe, wherein each of said retro-reflecting prisms comprises a reflecting center and said laser receiver comprises a sensor center, wherein said reflecting center of each prism and said sensor center are mounted such that they form an isosceles triangle, and wherein a distance between said reflecting center of each said retro-reflecting prism and said sensor center of said laser receiver are equal, wherein said isosceles triangle form of said reflecting centers of said retro-reflecting prisms and said sensor center of said laser receiver is arranged to correspond with said laser pulse pattern.
A wireless target system for a weapon effect simulation, the wireless target system comprising:
- at least one wireless target system unit comprising a control system, a radio transmitter and receiver arranged for communication with said control system, a laser receiver arranged to receive laser light from an attacking system, two retro-reflecting prisms arranged to retro-reflect an incident laser light from an attacking system, said laser light have a laser pulse pattern comprising of a first laser lobe, a second laser lobe and a third laser lobe, wherein each of said retro-reflecting prisms comprises a reflecting center and said laser receiver comprises a sensor center, wherein said reflecting centers of said retro-reflecting prisms and sensor center are mounted such that they form an isosceles triangle, and wherein a distance between said reflecting center of each said retro-reflecting prism and said sensor center of said laser receiver are equal, wherein said isosceles triangle form of said reflecting centers of said retro-reflecting prisms and said sensor center of said laser receiver is arranged to correspond with said laser pulse pattern;
