ABSTRACT:
A remote actuating system, specifically adapted for replicating indirect fire support in a battlefield environment and simulating the effectiveness of the fire support, includes transmitting control signals in response to a selected type of ammunition and a selected target area, transmitting a plurality of radio waves across the selected target area in response to the control signals, and indicating what at the selected target area could have been hit by the selected ammunition had it actually have been fired. The steps are performed utilizing a master station located near the weapon whose fire is to be replicated, a plurality of remote actuators located closer to the target area, and a plurality of indicator units associated with the objects which can be potentially hit in the affected zone within the target area. The master control station, the remote actuators, and the indicator unit can be more generally utilized, such as with a global positioning system, to define a remote actuation system for performing a desired operation. This system provides a method adaptable for defining a realistic geographical zone within a geographical target area by actuating at least three remote actuators to transmit respective radio waves so that the waves sweep a common region within the target area, thereby defining the affected geographical zone.
