Infrared targets for testing and training

We present a design for an IR scene projector for live-fire training applications, based on modification of a commercial-off-the-air laser-light-scene scanner retrofitted with a CO2 laser and associated IR optics. Design goals include a reusable or at least very inexpensive shoot- through projection screen. This application calls for a wide projection field as compared to typical IR scene-projection systems intended for hardware in the loop testing.
