Abstract

In a target equipment in which transducers are provided to detect the pressure wave generated by a projectile the transducers being connected to a timing and calculating device adapted to calculate from the time delays between the instants of reception of the pressure wave the trajectory of the projectile, a signal transmitter, comprising a spark generator, is used to transmit sonic signals which are detected by the transducers. The signal transmitter can be used to indicate the precise location or shape of the target and this information is stored in the computer memory.
