ABSTRACT:
A device for determining the position of a laser reflecting target with respect to a line of sight during shooting simulation is disclosed. Laser transmitting and/or receiving assemblies constructed from a plurality of opto-electronic elements for emitting or detecting laser light, respectively, are used to divide the field of view into a plurality of space angle sectors. Each of the opto-electronic elements have an active region for emitting or receiving laser light. Each region's area is smaller than the corresponding total cross-sectional area of the element. Each active region is coupled to an optical assembly by a light conductor. Each conductor has a cross-sectional area greater than the area of the active region to which it is connected, but is smaller than the element's total cross-sectional area. The unconnected ends of the light conductors for each assembly are placed together to form a gap-less arrangement in an image plane of the optical assembly. A programmed data processor controls the emission and detection of the laser light from these assemblies; and, from the transmitted and received signals, the computer is able to determine and display the off-aim position of the target.
