Features

The VRS Variable Range Simulator is a tool for range simulation and testing of Laser Range Finders (LRFs) - for functionality and accuracy. The VRS can test LRFs operating in any waveband, up to two wavebands in the same VRS. The VRS can simulate pulse width, power per pulse, and range - all predefined by the user.

The simulator can be activated by firing the laser or by an external electronic trigger. The operator can also determine the operation mode: static target simulation or dynamic moving target simulation. Multiple targets or nearby targets can be simulated as well.
