Three Dimensional Target Training Mannequin

Abstract

Improvements in a three dimensional target training mannequin are presented the mannequin is hollow and therefore lighter in weight from solid filled mannequins. The internal cavity of the mannequin is hollowed to reduce weight and to provide an internal cavity for sensors and or communication. The mannequin has an outer paintable and repaintable surface of to allow projectiles to penetrate with minimal expansion and show the impact location. The mannequin has a detection means that can include sensors, garments or internal bladders that ooze or erupt upon impact. The sensors can that detects the approximate location where the target was struck. The sensors can then transmit the location by a wired or wireless signal to a display, computer or tablet where the approximate impact location can be viewed by instructors or by the shooter that are located a distance from the target.
