The target refers to automatic target devices and is designed for training in shooting from small arms, for training and competitions in open areas and indoors, namely for practical shooting according to the IPSC rules for shooting a pistol, rifle and carbine.

The target contains a base with a target tongue attached to it by means of a connection unit. The connection unit is made integral with the target tongue, while the latter has protrusions for installation in the holes of the bushings. The target tongue is mounted on the bushings and then mounted in the holes of the side base plates with the possibility of rotation in the holes. The holes have plates to protect the bushings from the outside. The base has a shield and a bar with a threaded hole with a bolt and nut installed in the latter to adjust and fix the vertical position of the target tongue. The guard and the bar are fixedly fixed (for example, welded) on the base. A bump stop is installed on the base to protect the target tongue when hit by the shooter. The technical problem of the proposed utility model is the creation of a target characterized by high reliability and maintainability of the node connecting the target tongue to the base.

Detailed description of the invention

In the following detailed description of an implementation of the invention, numerous implementation details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art how the present invention can be used, with or without these implementation details. In other instances, well-known techniques, procedures, and components are not described in detail so as not to obscure the details of the present invention.

In addition, it is clear from the foregoing disclosure that the invention is not limited to the foregoing implementation. Numerous possible modifications, changes, variations and substitutions, while retaining the spirit and form of the present invention, will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

The movable target consists of a human head dummy 1 with a heating element 2 attached to it, while the human head dummy 1 is designed to be installed on a movable mechanism, and the heating element covers at least a part of the human head dummy, which simulates skin heating a person for thermal imaging devices, thus, the mannequin of the head of a person 1 with a heating element 2 imitates a person looking out from behind a shelter, including using devices to detect the enemy.

The mannequin of the human head 1 can be made of polymeric, composite materials such as plastic, fiberglass, polyester; in addition, gypsum, fiberglass, wood, metal, etc. can be used. and, if necessary, it can be dyed in a color imitating the color of human skin, or it can be disguised with the help of various items of clothing, which gives a resemblance to a person, and, therefore, helps to imitate the enemy.

As a heating element 2, a resistive heater can be used, the degree of heating, which is controlled by the control electronics 5. At the same time, on such a heating element 2 there are no "point" heating spots, the conductor is sprayed with an even layer over the entire surface of the heating element 2, which gives a good imitation of skin heating a person when observing a target in thermal imaging systems. The heating element 2 is attached to the mannequin of the head of the person 1 with glue or with magnets, for example neodymium magnets, a bolted connection can also be used using bolts, nuts and washers, which allows you to quickly install, reinstall and replace the heating element 2, if it damage, on the dummy of the head of a person 1, and due to its properties, the heating element 2 repeats the contours of the dummy of the head of a person 1, which gives a similarity with a person, and therefore contributes to imitation of the enemy.

In addition, the heater is equipped with a temperature sensor that records the heating rate and the fact that the required temperature has been reached. When the required temperature is reached, or rather, the temperature difference with the environment, the control electronics 5 transfers the heating to a maintenance mode to save energy and, as a result, increase the battery life, thus imitating the temperature of the human body, which gives a similarity to a person, and , therefore, helps to imitate the enemy.

The mannequin of the human head 1 is made with the possibility of installation on a movable mechanism. The mannequin of the head of a person 1 is installed on a movable mechanism, which allows you to set in motion a movable target and thus simulate the movement of the enemy, for example, peeping it out of cover and is attached using magnets, for example, neodymium magnets, which allows you to quickly install, reinstall and replace movable target on a movable mechanism.

In addition, the movable target can contain a reflector that can be applied directly to the dummy of the head of a person 1, as well as on garments that mask the movable target, for example, a reflector, can be built into glasses that are worn on the dummy of the head of a person 1, used for imitation of the enemy, the reflector allows you to detect a target using special equipment, namely, means of detecting and suppressing snipers, such as: a stationary optical reconnaissance detection system "Mirage", an optical object detection system "MIF-350", an indicator of optical objects "Luch-1" , optical detection device

devices "Ghost-M" (TLS2000), Optoelectronic device "SPIN-L", Stationary television system for detecting optical objects and round-the-clock vision "Antinobserver", day device (indicator) for observation and detection of optical systems "Luch-1M", tactical a device for observation and detection of optical systems "Samurai", a stationary complex for round-the-clock video monitoring and detection of optical objects "Teutat", etc. Such special means are intended for remote detection of optical and optoelectronic equipment leading oncoming surveillance, sights, long-focus lenses in conditions of both intense daytime and weak night illumination. Thus, a reflector located on a moving target, for example, being built into the glasses worn on the dummy's head of a person 1, reflects the laser beam of search devices, imitating the presence of a sight, thereby creating an imitation of the enemy for conducting fire training, including using devices to detect the enemy.

Thus, the implementation of a movable target containing a dummy of a human head with the possibility of installation on a movable mechanism and with a heating element fixed on it, covering at least part of the dummy of a human head contributes to imitation of the enemy for conducting fire training exercises, including using devices to detect the enemy.

It is possible to implement a system of a movable target with a control element 11, which allows you to control the movable target, namely to control the movement of the movable target, for example, to lower and raise the movable target at a frequency selected by the user, as well as to turn on and off the heating function of the heating element 2. In addition, it is possible to completely lower the head down with a separate button at the highest possible speed, while the control element 11 is equipped with indication LEDs 12, which can serve to signal and notify the user about the completion, beginning and progress of various processes and commands in the moving target system, control element 11 can be made with the possibility of remote control, while the control element 11 can receive and transmit a signal via a radio channel, which makes it possible to control a moving target at a considerable distance of 300 meters or more, while being in cover. In addition, the remote control element can receive and transmit a signal over a wired connection, this is necessary if various radio signal suppressors (jammers) are used, which also makes it possible to control a moving target at a considerable distance and thus setting a moving target in motion. imitating the enemy for conducting fire training exercises.
