Abstract: An authomated system for remote detection of muzzle blasts produced by rifles, artillery and other weapons, and similar explosive events. The system includes an infrared camera, image processing circuits, targeting computation circuits, displays, user interface devices, weapon aim point measurement devices, confirmation sensors, target designation devices and counterfire weapons. The camera is coupled to the image processing circuits. The image processing circuits are coupled to the targeting location computation circuits. The aim point measurement devices are coupled to the target computation processor. The system includes visual target confirmation sensors which are coupled to the targeting computation circuits.

Abstract: A miniaturized laser assembly is mounted on a weapon with the power source and circuitry for the laser assembly being contained within the weapon with no significant visual or actual weight change in the weapons original characteristics. The laser weapon is fired in a normal manner by squeezing the trigger while aiming at the target. The laser emits a harmless invisible signal pulse of coherent light so that if the weapon is aimed correctly a detector indicator unit mounted on a target receives and processes the laser pulse to cause an audible sound signifying that a hit has been registered.
