Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19745971C1] The invention relates to an measuring head for a simulator for simulating the firing of especially long-range weapons. The inventive measuring head has an illumination emitter (10) for illuminating a target with a pulsed laser beam in order to simulate fire, a receiver (11) for the laser light reflected in the target and a signal processing element (12) for determining the spatial and temporal position of the target. The laser beam emitted by the illumination emitter (10) is a vertical laser line which illuminates a defined solid angle (emittance angle) homogeneously and which can be deflected horizontally. This enables several targets to be detected with high resolution in a relatively large measuring field. The receiver (11) has a vertically oriented high resolution detector line (14) with a solid viewing angle which is identical to the emittance angle. The detector line (14) is made up of a plurality of individual detector elements (141) arranged one above the other. An independent channel (121) is allocated to each detector element (141) for processing signals. The illumination emitter (10) and the receiver (11) are synchronised with each other in such a way that the emittance angle and the viewing angle of the detector line are congruent at all times.
