Abstract

A simulated infra-red (ie thermal) target comprises a dum­ my target, such as a cloth-covered wooden frame in the shape of a tank, having patches of retroreflective material stuck to the regions which would be hot if the target were real. The target is then irradiated with a low power infra-red laser source, typi­ cally a carbon dioxide laser, positioned behind and above the weapon system whose thermal imaging sight is being aimed at the target, so that the thermal imaging sight «sees» the target by virtue of the infra-red radiation retroreflected from the patches.
