Recording target
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A recording target comprising:
- a target substrate including a record image;
a thermal clearing masking layer on said substrate masking said record image; and
IR converting means for converting intense visible light applied to said thermal clearing masking layer into infrared radiation to reveal said record image through said thermal clearing masking layer.

Abstract
A recording target includes targeting information printed on a substrate offset from a visible target and masked from the weapon operator by a thermal clearing masking layer. The operator aims at the visible target and the simulated weapon applies a focussed pulse of intense visible light to the masked targeting information to reveal the relevant targeting information by being converted into infrared radiation, by the thermal clearing masking layer and/or a portion of the masked targeting information thereunder, which clears or renders transparent the portions of the thermal clearing masking layer illuminated by the focussed visible light.
