  • Patent number: 8706440
    Abstract: An apparatus for registering time and location of a weapon firing of a weapon. The apparatus includes a microcontroller, a pressure sensor located in proximately is provided to the weapon and adapted to determine pressure data based on air pressure in proximity to the weapon and provide the pressure data to a microcontroller, an accelerometer located in proximity to the weapon and adapted to determine acceleration data based on movement of the weapon and provide the acceleration data to the microcontroller; a time device adapted to keep time and provide the time to the microcontroller; a location sensor located in proximity to the weapon and adapted to determine a location of the weapon and provide the location of the weapon to the microcontroller; and a memory coupled to the microcontroller.

  • Publication number: 20120210858
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for detonating a projectile which includes receiving data by a microprocessor located in the projectile from an external ballistic computer. Calibrating a low frequency oscillator located in the projectile using an internal precision reference oscillator also located in the projectile that can withstand launch accelerations of tens of thousands of g's. Powering off the reference oscillator when calibration is complete to save energy and transmitting a detonation signal from the microprocessor to a detonation circuit located in the projectile.
