ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for use in a firing range, in which transducers located adjacent the target area detect the airborne shock wave from supersonic projectiles. The position at which each projectile passes through the target plane is determined from the relative time of arrival of the associated shock wave at the transducers. A visual display of the target and the projectile position is provided for the use of range personnel.
