ABSTRACT:
A target system includes a target comprising a plurality of spaced, parallel, electrically conductive strips disposed on a target surface. An electrically conductive backplane is provided on a back surface of the target in a plane parallel to the target surface. The system further includes Time Domain Reflectometry pulse generator connected to the backplane and to one end of each of the conductive strips for generating a pulse on each of the strips. The characteristics of reflected pulse are measured to determine the size and location of any projectile hits through the target. The backplane is energized to provide the target with a thermal silhouette.
