The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for indicating that a
target (1), such as a vehicle, has been hit. The target is provided with
information on the weapon action, and a light source indicates a hit. The
information can be made available by direct electromagnetic transmission,
for example via radio, or by means of one or more strips (9-11) with
detectors (13) being arranged on the target (1). In the latter case, the
detectors detect incident illuminating electromagnetic radiation, and a
light source indicates a hit when the incident radiation satisfies
defined detection criteria. According to the invention, the light source
is mounted directly in one or more strips (12) which in the present case
can be the same as the detector strips and consist of distributed light
points preferably in the form of light-emitting diodes (14). In this way,
a protected and integrated solution is obtained which has little effect
on the shape of the target.
