which has an area approximately equal to the area of the
smaller scoring area and which is located adjacent thereto.
Claim 1 is reproduced below.
1. A system for the accurate location of a missile
embedded in a target, comprising:
a target having a target face, said target face
having a plurality of target areas formed of material
into which one or more of the missiles may be selectively
embedded; said target areas including a first target area
which has a first magnitude of area size and a second
target area which is adjacent to said first target area
and which has a second magnitude of area size which is
substantially larger than said first magnitude of area
size;
signal receiving elements associated with respective
ones of said target areas for receiving and sensing
electromagnetic signals which are received at each of
said target areas when a missile is embedded in or near
respective ones of said target areas; said signal
receiving elements being positioned on a side of said
material opposite said target face and substantially
conforming in size and shape to each of said target
areas, said signal receiving element of said first target
area having an area size which is substantially equal in
magnitude to said first magnitude of area size, and said
signal receiving element of said substantially larger
second target area having a total area size which is
substantially equal to said second magnitude of area
size, but including a signal sensing portion which is
electrically distinct from the signal receiving element
of said first target area and also electrically distinct
from the remainder of the total area of the signal
receiving element of said second target area; and
processing means electrically connected to said
signal receiving elements and said sensing portion which
is electrically distinct from the remainder of the total
