  • System and method for combat simulation
    Patent number: 7052276
    Abstract: The invention relates to simulation of effects in a combat environment, wherein personnel, vehicles and buildings are exposed to simulated fire from military weapons. Direct fire and indirect fire are simulated by means of at least one of light rays and radio waves. Effects of attacking fire are registered by means of a target object device, which includes sensors adapted to detect the light rays respective the radio waves and are co-located with the target object (140). According to the invention the target object is associated to at least one protecting object located between the simulated fire and the target object if such object exists in the current combat situation. This enables a consideration to various protecting object— influence on the simulated fire and the effects on corresponding actual fire.

  • Combat simulation wherein target objects are associated to protecting object by means of a local co-operation between the target objects and the relevant protecting objects
    Publication number: 20040096806
    Abstract: The invention relates to simulation of effects in a combat environment, wherein personnel, vehicles and buildings are exposed to simulated fire in the from military weapons. Direct fire and indirect fire are simulated by means of at least one of light rays (111) and radio waves (121). Effects of attacking fire are registered by means of a target object device (145), which includes sensors adapted to detect the light rays (111) respective the radio waves (121) and are co-located with the target object (140). According to the invention the target object (140) is associated to at least one protecting object (130a; 130a′) located between the simulated fire (111; 121) and the target object (140) if such object exists in the current combat situation. This enables a consideration to various protecting objects' (130a; 130a′) influence on the simulated fire and the effects on corresponding actual fire.
