METHOD AND ASSEMBLY FOR DETERMINING THE FLIGHT DIRECTION OF A BULLET

摘要

Method for determining the flight direction of a bullet within an area, comprising : providing a hollow spatial body (1) of electrically non-conductive material, provided with a large number of parallel conductors (2) which extend from top to bottom on or near the surface of the spatial body, each conductor is connected to an electric power source, and to current detection means adapted to detect through which conductors a current flows, and through which conductors no current flows. Furthermore computing means (4) are provided, which are configured to calculate the flight direction of the bullet from the position of the two conductors (2') of which the current flow, as detected by the current detection means, was interrupted by a bullet. If the device is complemented with sound detection means, it is possible to make a rough estimate of the distance to the shooting location.
