Patent ID: 7147472

Claim:
An active aim scoring system for testing a gunner's ability to designate a pop-up target, near a control tower, with a given laser, at an impact point for a projectile seeking said designated target with a sensor for only the narrow band near infrared radiation from said given laser, comprising: an upper section containing an array of four very sensitive offset detectors focused on the areas in front of, above, to the right of and to the left of said target within 100 meters of the target; a lower section electronically coupled to said upper section containing an on-target detector for said near infrared radiation, and a video camera for detecting visible radiation as well as said near infrared radiation reflected by said target; a computer to record and evaluate output data from all of said detectors; and a modulated transceiver with an antenna to receive test initiation pulses from said tower and transmit test data with evaluation to said tower.
