Abstract

Target acquisition training apparatus for use on a target acquisition range for training one or more aimers (11, 12) assembled on the range comprising projection means (17) for projecting onto a display medium (16) a target acquisition display comprising one or more target images (15), target acquisition means (14, 15) for the or each aimer (11, 12) for simulated acquisition of the target image (15) or a selected one of the target images (15) from a sighting position remote from the display medium (16), the or each target acquisition means (14, 15) comprising beam transmitting means (50, 51) for transmitting a beam (5) of radiation aligned with an aimpoint axis of the or each target acquisition means (14, 15) to produce on the display medium (16) a localised radiation aimpoint zone or zones (10) representing the aimpoint of the or each target acquisition means (14, 15) on the display medium (16), a video camera (13) positioned to frame scan the display medium (16) and to generate from each frame scan video signals representing the aimpoint zone or zones (10) appearing on the display medium (16), and computing means (54) to select the camera video signals in each frame representing the aimpoint zone or zones (10) appearing on the display medium (16) and to generate therefrom aimpoint coordinates for the or each aimpoint zone (10) for aimpoint assessment of the one or more aimers (11, 12). <IMAGE>
