A training system and method to calculate actual coordinates of a
projectile impact at one or more screens has been disclosed. A projectile
is launched at a screen. One or more targets are projected onto the
screen. A calibrated sensor is directed at the screen surface. The sensor
continually captures thermal images of the screen surface. The sensor
comprises software to detect and isolate thermal images of the projectile
impacting the screen. These impact images are transmitted to a computer
connected to the sensor. The computer comprises software to calculate the
actual impact coordinates relative to a projected target. The calculated
coordinates are digitally sent to feedback devices for display purposes.
The system further comprises virtual training scenarios that are
triggered upon notification of actual impact coordinates. These training
scenarios simulate real life situations.
