Abstract

A method for assuring safety during firing exercises with live ammunition by mobile skirmish participants ( 11, 11 ') practicing under combat conditions in an enclosed practice range ( 10 ) that is monitored from a monitoring center ( 14 ), to protect all participants ( 11, 11 ') from being shot by firing participants ( 11 ). The instantaneous positions of the participants ( 11, 11 ') are continuously determined, and transmitted to a monitoring center ( 14 ) wherein the transmitted positions and movement regions derived therefrom for all participants ( 11, 11 '), and the positions of stationary objects ( 13 ) that are present, are used to calculate current, authorized firing sectors ( 38 ) for the firing participants ( 11 ) and are individually transmitted to the firing participants ( 11 ). For each firing participant ( 11 ), the instantaneous weapon setting ( 39 ) is compared to the assigned firing sectors ( 38 ), and firing authorization is only given if the instantaneous weapon setting ( 39 ) lies within these firing sectors ( 38 ).
