This invention involves the instrumentation necessary for training aircraft ilots in bombing techniques. The essential elements of the system are a flight-profile plotter, an optical tracker, three impact-spotting quadrants, an impact-spotting board, and a timing console. When the training includes dive bombing and conventional-weapons delivery, optical acquisition and radar acquisition systems are added. This equipment measures the aircraft's speed and flight path while it performs weapons delivery maneuvers.
