Abstract:
A weapon effect simulation method for the training of at least two participants with direct aimed weapons with pulsed laser beams, comprising the steps:equipping each participant with an attacking system and a target system;providing each attacking system with a weapon, a laser pulse transmitter attached to said attacking system with which pulsed laser beams of at least two different wavelengths can be transmitted, and a laser pulse receiver;connecting at least one retro-reflector to each target system;transmitting pulsed laser beams from said laser pulse transmitter to at least one of said retro-reflectors of said target system;reflecting at least a part of said pulsed laser beams from said retro-reflector to said laser pulse receiver at said attacking system;using said pulsed laser beam to survey a distance between said attacking and said target systems, a position, speed and heading of said target system and to transmit information to said target system; andreceiving a selected one out of said at least two different wavelengths of said pulsed laser beam at said laser pulse receiver, wherein said step of receiving a selected one of said wavelengths is accomplished by reflecting only a selected wavelength by said retro-reflector by use of a selective coating.
