  • Patent number: 11175112
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method 300 for facilitating simulation of a shot from a weapon, wherein the weapon is equipped with a laser device which works on the time-of-flight principle. The method comprises the step 310 of receiving an emitted coded laser pulse sequence from the weapon by a simulation device. The method further comprises the step 350 of transferring a returned coded pulse sequence which corresponds to the emitted coded laser pulse sequence back to the weapon by the simulation device. The simulation device is a range simulation device. The method further comprises the step of delaying 330 said transferring in relation to said receiving so that said delay is perceived by said weapon as a longer travel time of the emitted coded laser pulse sequence and the returned coded pulse sequence, respectively. The method further relates to a simulation device.

  • Patent number: 8303308
    Abstract: A fire simulation method and system for simulating ammunition from a weapon. The method includes determining a trajectory of the simulated ammunition, emitting a light beam along a simulation axis, and coding said light beam with information. The method includes determining a point in time when the simulated ammunition passes a target, determining a value related to the distance between the simulation axis and a momentary position of the simulated ammunition along the trajectory at that point in time, and emitting the light beam coded with the determined value during a predetermined time period.

  • Patent number: 7400244
    Abstract: A system for determining a location of a moving object in an enclosed space comprises at least one first transmitter adapted to be located in the enclosed space, wherein each of the first transmitters is operable to transmit a code associated with the first transmitter, wherein the code is representative of a coordinate in a predetermined coordinate system, a first receiver adapted to be located on a moving object, the receiver operable to receive the code, and a first processing unit adapted to be located on the moving object, the processing unit operable to process codes from the first receiver to determine the location of the moving object based on the code.
