Abstract
A remote scoring system for an air-to-ground strafing range is disclosed which utilizes a pair of vector sensors for each target to pinpoint a target hit and/or miss by means of shell shock wave amplitude and time of arrival (TOA) differentials of the shock wave between the two sensors. The invention also encompasses at least one down range cease-fire sensor that utilizes a TOA of the shell shock wave and its respective muzzle blast to determine a ceasefire distance from the target. Unique signal processing of data is designed for immediate display and/or printout.
