State of the Art Remote-controlled firearms used in shooting training by law enforcement and security forces. Target systems, evaluation of firing results, control of target movements 15 It is widely used to improve and accelerate educational processes. Especially in training for weapon systems that use thermal binoculars and thermal sights, It is important that the targets can be perceived with realistic temperature values. In current technology, in remotely controlled target systems, projectile hits are generally not the target. This is detected via impact detection sensors located on the platform. 20 However, in these systems, sensors are usually integrated with the entire carrier along with the target plate. It works by encompassing the structure. Therefore, the carrier outside the target plate Impacts to the legs, body, or fasteners are also considered hits. This can be perceived. This situation can lead to inaccurate evaluation of shooting results, and the shooter... This leads to inaccurate measurement of performance and reduced reliability of training data. 25 is happening. In addition, existing target systems include target plates and support leg surfaces. It generally has a flat geometric structure. The ricochet that occurs after a bullet impact and Ammunition particles are released uncontrollably into the environment from these flat surfaces. It can spread. This situation poses a risk in terms of user security. 30 It also increases deformation and structural wear on the target system. Furthermore... 2 Muzzle fragments that ricochet can reach areas outside the firing range, causing environmental damage.
