A weapons simulator for training a marksman on an anti-armor weapon. The weapons simulator includes first and second broadcasting means for projecting on a reflective display screen a background scene, a visual target, and an infrared target spot in alignment with the visual target, and a two-axis laser spot positioning servo system for moving the aligned visual target and infrared target spot upon the reflective display screen. A matrix detector mounted within the weapon will sense the position of the infrared target spot upon the reflective display screen whenever the marksman fires the weapon, and then supply to a microprocessor computer digital information indicative of the position of the infrared target spot upon the reflective display screen. The microprocessor computer, in turn, processes the digital information so as to determine whether the marksman has scored a hit, a miss, or near miss upon the visual target.

A burst on target simulator device for training with rockets, comprising in combination: first broadcasting means having an input for projecting visual information along a first light path; second broadcasting means for projecting target information along a second light path, said target information including a visual target and an infrared target spot in alignment with said visual target; a reflective display screen spatially disposed downstream from said first broadcasting means adapted for receiving the visual information projected along said first light path so as to form thereon a background scene, and the target information projected along said second light path so as to form thereon said visual target and said infrared target spot in alignment therewith; positioning means located between said second broadcasting means and said reflective display screen, and having an input for redirecting the target information projected along said second light path in a predetermined manner so as to move said visual target and the infrared target spot in alignment therewith in a predetermined direction upon said reflective display screen; a weapon having a trigger mechanism for effecting the simulated firing thereof; sensing means mounted within said weapon and having a data output for continuously sensing the position of said infrared target spot upon said reflective display screen, and for continuously providing at the output thereof digital data bits indicative of the position of said infrared target spot upon said reflective display screen; and computing means having a data input connected to the data output of said sensing means, trigger input connected to the output of the trigger mechanism of said weapon, a first output connected to the input of said positioning means, a second output connected to the input of said first broadcasting means, a third output, a fourth output, and a fifth output for extracting from said sensing means the digital data bits provided thereby only when a marksman activates the trigger mechanism of said weapon, for processing the digital data bits extracted from said sensing means so as to determine the extract position of said infrared target spot only when said marksman activates the trigger mechanism of said weapon, for providing indicator signals indicative of whether said marksman has scored a hit, miss, or near miss upon said visual target, and for providing a position control signal so as to activate said positioning means and thereby control the movement of said visual target, and the infrared target spot in alignment therewith upon said reflective display screen.
