Abstract: A remote actuating system, specifically adapted for replicating indirect fire support in a battlefield environment and simulating the effectiveness of the fire support, includes transmitting control signals in response to a selected type of ammunition and a selected target area, transmitting a plurality of radio waves across the selected target area in response to the control signals, and indicating what at the selected target area could have been hit by the selected ammunition had it actually have been fired. The steps are performed utilizing a master station located near the weapon whose fire is to be replicated, a plurality of remote actuators located closer to the target area, and a plurality of indicator units associated with the objects which can be potentially hit in the affected zone within the target area.
