ABSTRACT:
A weapons simulator for training an operator in the use of a weapons system, particularly a guided missile system of the type employing operator positionable optics. The operator centers a target, having two optically detectable markers, within a predetermined field of view which is viewed through the optics. A television camera in optical communication with the optics scans the field of view and generates a first video signal representing an image including the target and the markers. The markers are detected in the video signal to generate a target signal representing the position of the target in the scanning pattern of the camera and a range signal representing the range between the simulator and the target. The operator initiates simulated flight of a missile, and an electronically generated missile signal simulates the flight of a missile. The missile signal is automatically varied in value in accordance with a guidance signal and time from initiation of flight to thereby represent the size and location of the missile within the field of view. A cathode ray tube in optical communication with the optics projects an image of the simulated missile onto the image presented to the operator, and a kill signal related to the proximity of the target is generated in response to the target, range and missile signals. Provision is made for simulating all of the sounds made by the real system, and for displaying the missile flight and other data on a TV monitor.
