A turret mounted gun on a shooter tank with a laser scanner transmitter in its barrel emits a laser beam upon a trigger pull. The laser beam is directed toward a target tank based upon a shooter's ranging and tracking using a standard fire control computer to provide conventional ranging and tracking. The target tank is scanned with the laser beam to measure target azimuth and target elevation with respect to a boresight of the gun of shooter tank. Optical receivers mounted on the turret of the target tank detect the laser beam and a system control unit determines the trigger pull time, target azimuth and target super elevation. The system control unit also determines a range to the target tank by comparing a set of GPS coordinates of the two tanks. Based on the target azimuth, the target super elevation, the range to the target and the time of the trigger pull, the system control unit computes an impact point relative to the target tank of a simulated ballistic shell fired from the gun of the first tank at the time of the trigger pull. Casualty assessment is made and the impact point is transmitted back to the shooter for immediate feedback.
