Method and arrangement for indicating hits

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for indicating that a target ( 1 ), such as a vehicle, has been hit. The target is provided with information on the weapon action, and a light source indicates a hit. The information can be made available by direct electromagnetic transmission, for example via radio, or by means of one or more strips ( 9-11 ) with detectors ( 13 ) being arranged on the target ( 1 ). In the latter case, the detectors detect incident illuminating electromagnetic radiation, and a light source indicates a hit when the incident radiation satisfies defined detection criteria. According to the invention, the light source is mounted directly in one or more strips ( 12 ) which in the present case can be the same as the detector strips and consist of distributed light points preferably in the form of light-emitting diodes ( 14 ). In this way, a protected and integrated solution is obtained which has little effect on the shape of the target.
