ABSTRACT:
A system for simulating indirect weapon fire is disclosed which serves to greatly increase the realism and training value of tactical engagement simulation exercises when suitably interfaced with existing MILES-type detecting/indicating equipment. System simplicity, effectiveness, and security are achieved using a referee-operated, hand-held actuating device emitting at a first acoustic frequency to selectively transmit actuating signals to one or more pre-positioned explosion simulation devices, which then transmit multidirectional sound at a second acoustic frequency. MILES-equipped point targets located within the effective range of the multidirectional sound respond to the second frequency signal and determine the effectiveness of the simulated explosion using a pre-established hierarchy of hit
ear miss/weapon-type criteria. The system further provides additional realism to the tactical situations by the inclusion of synchronized light and sound to simulate firing and exploding of nondirectional weapons such as mortars and artillery shells, and further provides operational versatility via an alternate embodiment using encoded RF signals for actuating the explosion simulation devices.
