A virtual target radar system for small arms fire training

This paper describes the development of a novel radar system acting as a virtual target to assist in the training of a marksman. It provides the miss distance of a bullet from an aim point in two axes as the bullet passes through the target plane. Initial work indicates that a low-cost solution can...

Description
Summary:This paper describes the development of a novel radar system acting as a virtual target to assist in the training of a marksman. It provides the miss distance of a bullet from an aim point in two axes as the bullet passes through the target plane. Initial work indicates that a low-cost solution can achieve millimetre-level accuracy irrespective of projectile velocity over a wide range of environmental conditions.
