  • Patent number: 4302191
    Abstract: A training apparatus for aiming and gunnery comprises a target tracer, a central control and monitoring unit and equipment at each of a plurality of anti-aircraft guns or other weapons for combatting moving targets. The target tracer is provided with a range finding radar and a TV camera which, by means of an aiming instrument, are continuously held aimed at a moving target. Furthermore, the target tracer has rotational position indicators for indicating the positions of the radar and the camera with respect to a horizontal and a vertical axis. From information obtained from the radar and the indicators, a data processing unit in the central control unit calculates the correct aiming allowance point for each of the weapons, which points can be shown, on the one hand, one at a time on a common TV monitor, and, on the other hand, on a separate TV monitor for each weapon.
