In addition, a special must for a sharp shot infrastructure for practice areas with certain security areas is available and also In addition, special weather conditions are desirable, so that training is usually only is possible in a few months of each year.

However, training a sharp shot is essential for a shooter to shoot the necessary knowledge about the actions to be carried out and the other high level of operational and target security and thus a high level of combat to convey willingness.

There are already some training options that rely on the use of Exercise dents, modified original systems that simulate the sequences of action sequences ren, as well as training complexes, through the special processes by means of a virtual environment are trainable, fall back. However, these previously practiced training procedures have some disadvantages, especially since not all of the procedures are realistic can be tested. For example, a so-called exercise model "Tracking Head Trainer" known who only simulated straightening exercises and the Be operations possible, but no geometry identical to an original weapon system because of an operator control device. As a training complex is currently a so-called "dome trainer" is used, who is only the simulation of exercises and Operational processes enabled, has no realistic target representation and above all always with is associated with high costs.

The present invention is therefore based on the object, a practice shooting device as well to provide an exercise system using this to train a sharp shot, so that the disadvantages of the prior art are overcome, especially a cost-effective one  constant training under conditions close to combat with realistic target presentation without special demands on infrastructure and security areas is made possible.

According to the invention it can be provided that the target display unit is a real flu object such as an airplane, a helicopter or the like, a helicopter model Aircraft model, a towing target, a drone and / or a pyrotechnic display system stem contains.

Finally, the invention also proposes that a model, such as a helicopter over model or airplane model, via at least two telescopic masts to one in advance agreed place can be arranged, preferably the position and / or movement of the Mo. dells is electrically and / or remotely adjustable.

The invention is therefore based on the surprising finding that one to be simulated Original shooting device for forming a practice locking device is modified so that a Destination seeker is integrated into the handle, instead of part of the closable flight to be body, so that the target seeker is "reusable", which at a considerable cost leads to reductions.

In addition, according to the invention, by means of the electronics module of the seeker head at the same time acquisition variables, such as a vibration of the cheeks or a signal tone, he testifies and the performance of a shooter can be assessed. The performance ability of the shooter is determined by objectifying the correctness of the action  to ensure a high probability of being hit, the alignment of the weapon system stems to a goal, target tracking and distance determination, timeliness of the Actuation of a safety and activation switch, pressing a gyro door button, straightening attachment and lead angle, pursuing the goal up to shoot down by detecting mechanical and optical variables and the like via moto physical, sensorimotor, sensory and emotional body functions of protection, as they do by physiological parameters such as pulse rate, respiratory rate and Au movement, determined, determined.

Due to the construction of the training missile according to the invention with an ignition system, a propellant charge, a delay charge, a smoke set, a pop set and one Flash set is also ensured that the training missile with the practice shooting device optically and acoustically comparable launch geometry and signature like an original flight body leaves.

To provide economically viable training under combat-related training conditions guarantee, in compliance with all relevant safety, operational and environmental protection conditions, the invention also proposes the use of a target display unit in front of a gunner at a sufficient distance, depending on the troop's requirements is buildable. This target display unit preferably comprises a model that can be created using a Guide is movable over two or more telescopic masts and an optical, UHF and / or IR transmitter includes, so that the target display unit freely selectable to the viewing direction the shooter can be set up to ensure that both a flyby of left and right as well as an approach and departure can be trained. As a result of that the telescopic masts are adjustable, in particular are electrically adjustable vertically different flight profiles can also be set. You can also use an algorithm used to control the movement of the model so that any trajectory setting is configurable.
