This invention is a new-type, full-scale, tank-target silhouette for use
in tank gunnery practice with the main gun of a tank. The new target
employs lightweight sheet material that is corrugated in the manner of an
accordion-door (or pleated) configuration to produce a self-supporting,
rigid target silhouette which can be raised and lowered, and which can
sustain multiple hits without collapsing. The corrugation configuration,
when clamped along the bottom edge of the ridges and grooves, provides
the necessary rigidity for the target to stand upright without other
vertical structural members which could be hit and destroyed.
