Abstract: A technique for simulating the thermal appearance of objects. Electrical rgy is applied to conductive material that is attached to a mounting surface shaped in the form of the selected object. The conductive material is placed to simulate the radiation pattern that the object has been shown to demonstrate.

Abstract: A target system is disclosed which is responsive to and indicative of the ts and areas of near miss of laser light pulses that have been shot from a laser weapon aimed at the target system, be it a simulated gun or other device, by a marksman. In addition to the bullseye indicia on the face of the target system, the target system comprises a quadrant arrangement of laser light detectors that are located on the front of the target system in such manner as to permit them to sense the laser light pulses. The detectors are connected in unique combination with data processing channels, programmed timers, a preprogrammed read only memory logic circuit, and an array of lights disposed around and near the perimeter of the target face. The latter mentioned lights light up in accordance with the approximate location of the hits of the laser light pulses relative to the bullseye of the target face, thereby indicating either a hit or the direction of a near miss to the marksman.
