  • Patent number: 10907935
    Abstract: A weapon training system for an indirect firing weapon. The weapon training system includes a firing box including at least one processor, and a firing mechanism communicatively coupled with the firing box. Activation of the firing mechanism causes a simulated firing of the indirect firing weapon. The weapon training system also includes a round sensor communicatively coupled with the firing box. The round sensor is operable to be attached to or integrated with a round compatible with the weapon. The round is operable to be inserted into a breech of the weapon. The weapon training system further includes a breech sensor communicatively coupled with the firing box. The breech sensor is configured to detect an insertion of the round into the breech of the weapon via detection of the round sensor.

  • Publication number: 20190101352
    Abstract: An indirect fire mission training round includes a projectile training shell having an outer periphery, a proximal end, and a distal end, the proximal end defining an interior chamber. The projectile training shell is configured to be inserted within a cavity of a projectile firing instrument. The round includes an interlock member configured to securely receive a proximal portion of a subsequent training round within the interior chamber of the projectile training shell. The round includes a resistance brake extending outward from the outer periphery and configured to contact a wall of the cavity of the firing instrument and provide resistance that secures the projectile training shell at a position within the cavity. The resistance break is selectively disengageable such that the position of the projectile training shell is adjustable.

  • Publication number: 20180372440
    Abstract: A weapon system including a weapon attachment for attaching to a barrel of a weapon. The weapon attachment may include a light receiving device configured to receive a first light signal transmitted within the barrel. The weapon attachment may also include a first interface for communicating with a weapon-mountable instrumentation laser. The instrumentation laser may be attached to the weapon and may be configured to transmit a second light signal. The weapon attachment may further include a processing unit coupled with the light receiving device. The processing unit may be configured to receive, via the light receiving device, the first light signal, and to transmit an instruction signal to the instrumentation laser via the first interface causing the instrumentation laser to transmit the second light signal.
