Abstract
A device usable in firearm practice comprises an upright target member with a front surface having selected heat-emitting areas which simulate the thermal signature of a military object. That surface is covered in one instance by two interleaved arrays of conductor strips bridged by short patches of resistance material which act as localized heat generators upon being energized with direct current. In another embodiment the heat-emitting areas are reflectors irradiated by infrared lamps that are disposed in front of the target member below a firing line.
