ABSTRACT:
A device is disclosed for combat simulation, in which each weapon carrying ombat participant has a laser transmitter, an optical measurement receiver, and an analyzer, and each target object combat participant has reflector elements, an optical information receiver and a device for evaluating the optical information. When firing is simulated, the target is tracked with laser pulses which are transmitted by the laser transmitter and reflected by the reflector elements back to the measurement receiver. The hit accuracy information is optically coded and sent back to the target. According to this invention, optical signals or beams for target tracking and for information transmission are spatially separated from each other by distributing the reflector elements in the vulnerable area of the target, but locating the optical information receiver separately, preferably in an exposed location. The reflector elements may be inexpensive disposable elements. Signal transmission between the various components can be accomplished by optoelectronic links without the use of cables. On receipt of a "hit" signal, an optoelectronic link which activates the laser transmitter can be unavoidably switched off to inactivate the combat participant that has been hit without any possibility of tampering by the combat participant to prevent this.
