Practice dummy for an explosive body

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The practice dummy for simulating a handgrenade or another explosive weapon comprises a plurality of infrared light emitting diodes. The light signal from these diodes is used for simulating the explosion. It can be received by suitable detectors, such that the effect of the dummy can be detected in practice combat. Similar dummies can also be produced for the simulation other weapons, such as mines, mortar shells etc. The dummy therefore allows a more realistic combat simulation for practice and instruction. The light signals emitted by the diodes can be adjusted to have a similar range as the explosion to be simulated. Such a dummy is easy to construct and compatible with existing optical …
