Techmash Concern, part of Rostec State Corporation, has created an acoustic non-contact target complex that analyzes the velocity and coordinates of a bullet or projectile flight and transmits data on hits and deviations to a computer screen. The development increases the effectiveness of shooting training and the accuracy of firing adjustment.
The complex is designed for firing small arms with 5.45 to 12.7 mm caliber, as well as shells of 30 mm caliber. The installation records the results of firing at a rate of up to 200 shots per second. When shooting in bursts, the average hit point is calculated.
“This new target technology has no analogues in Russia. Unlike existing designs, it supports wireless communication between sensors and the operator at a distance of a kilometer. Its characteristics make it possible to obtain information about shots’ effectiveness practically instantly and adjust fire, focusing on the equipment data. Thus, the complex increases the convenience and efficiency of training. Such opportunities will undoubtedly be of interest to the military and athletes”, Rostec Weapons division stated.
In the future, it is planned to make the complex more mobile – this will increase the convenience of transportation and the speed of installation and will also allow the innovation to be used in various fields and climatic conditions.
