Mock-ups of military equipment have proven effective in the war in Ukraine.
When observing with technology equipped with observation devices, radars, night vision, or thermal cameras, an active target imitates the light or heat radiation, sensor, or radar trace of an object to be imitated (for example, a person).
The Aactive imitative targets with automatic opening, filling with air, and heating can be installed, among other things, from a moving transport, including an aircraft (e.g., a drone).
The purpose of the training is to improve the real skills of trainees equipped with infrared and/or night vision equipment to find a missing civilian, escaped criminal, enemy, etc., in the dark or in poor visibility.
The displayed emission-based image (infrared or thermal image, etc.) is often difficult to correctly interpret and understand, with even an experienced person taking a long time to distinguish between the content of the displayed thermal image and the real world.
By using combat weapons equipped with infrared and/or night vision devices by the trainees in the system training, it is possible to improve the quality of the practical skills of the trainees (in darkness, sunshine, poor visibility, fog, rain, snow, etc.) during searches, shootings, bombings, etc. By improving the quality and speed of the skills of the trainees, it is possible to save time and ammunition. The training system can be operated in different environmental conditions (e.g., different climate and weather) and light conditions (e.g., night or day).
