  • Training simulator for the shoulder firing of missiles
    Patent number: 5257937
    Abstract: For training persons having to fire missiles from the shoulder, a simulator is proposed which comprises a simulated launch or firing tube (10), which carries a front, releasable or jettisonable mass (12) and a rear releasable or jettisonable mass (14) at its ends. These masses are held by electromagnets (34, 36). When the person firing or firer presses the trigger (18), the rear mass (14) is ejected to the left followed, with a time lag (.DELTA.t), by the front mass (12). Thus, the load relief and site and bearing movements felt by the firer during a real launch are restored.
