The present disclosure relates to an airburst simulation system and method. The airburst simulation system includes a laser emitting unit to emit laser beam to an airburst aiming position, preset above a target hidden behind an obstacle, such that a warhead is airbursted to shoot the target, a laser detecting unit mounted onto the target to detect an arrival of the laser beam above the target, and a determining unit to measure a distance between the airburst aiming position and an arrival position of the laser detected by the laser detecting unit, and determine whether or not the target has been shot based on the distance. This allows for a simulated engagement using an airburst apparatus, with no harm to human bodies by virtue of the use of laser.

1. Field of the Invention
This specification relates to an airburst simulation system, an airburst simulation method, and a simulation apparatus having a dual barrel used therefor.
The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate exemplary embodiments and together with the description serve to explain the principles of the invention.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a side view of an airburst simulation apparatus having a laser emitter;
Description will now be given in detail of an airburst simulation system and an airburst simulation method according to the exemplary embodiments, with reference to the accompanying drawings. For the sake of brief description with reference to the drawings, the same or equivalent components will be provided with the same reference numbers, and description thereof will not be repeated. A singular representation may include a plural representation as far as it represents a definitely different meaning from the context.
The airburst simulation system may include a laser emitting unit and a laser detecting unit. A soldier who carries out an airburst simulation test may wear at least one of the laser emitting unit and the laser detecting unit. The airburst simulation system may further include a determining unit to determine information obtained by the laser emitting unit and the laser detecting unit. Hereinafter, the laser emitting unit, the laser detecting unit and the determining unit will be described in detail.
The laser emitting unit may be implemented as an airburst simulation apparatus.
