Claymore training device

Abstract

A training device substantially identical in size and shape to the Claymore antipersonnel mine that cooperates with the existing MILES (Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement Set) system. The training device includes a directional acoustic signal that approximates the effectiveness range of the actual Claymore mine.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An inert, non-explosive, Claymore antipersonnel training device for use with a MILES compatible battle training system comprising: a housing substantially resembling the Claymore series antipersonnel mine,   a means for emitting a directional acoustic signal replicating an actual Claymore pattern,   a means for emitting a visual signal,   a means for activating said training device comprising a handheld pulse generator and a firing cable attached to said housing and to said handheld pulse generator,   wherein upon activation of said training device, said directional acoustic signal further activates a MILES compatible system attached to a target within an effective distance of said directional acoustic signal.   
     
     
       2. A training device as in claim 1 wherein said means for emitting a directional acoustic signal comprises a stepped exponential horn having a beamwidth of 60 degrees. 
     
     
       3. A training device as in claim 1 wherein said means for activation of said training device comprises an M57 type handheld pulse generator. 
     
     
       4. A housing as in claim 1 wherein said housing comprises a transparent plastic material. 
     
     
       5. A training device as in claim 1 wherein said means for emitting light comprises at least one source of light within said housing to emit said visual signal.
