Abstract

The invention is concerned with the techniques of firing simulation. Its main subject is a method of and device for firing training, in which optical simulation of firing as a function of at least the firer's aim and of reference data comprising at least a reference line of sight and a target distance, is characterized by the fact that account is taken in the simulation of prerecorded terrain data defining at least three ground planes perpendicular to the line of sight, vertical plane containing the said three ground planes being located around the target, in front of the target, and behind the target, with respect to the firer.
