  • Publication number: 20200355454
    Abstract: A weapon monitoring and remote support system monitors firearms and other assets within a deployment location, and includes a graphical user interface providing a top-down geographic view of the deployment location and coverage areas of weapons within the deployment location, the coverage areas representing positions and orientations of the weapons determined based on sensor information received from one or more sensors of each of the weapons. The graphical user interface may automatically update according to received sensor information, where the updated graphical user interface represents a change to at least one of the coverage areas of weapons, and output instructions for displaying or rendering the graphical user interface to one or more computing devices.

  • Publication number: 20200355456
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for monitoring a state of ammunition supply among a plurality of firearms within a deployment location, where each firearm includes one or more sensors that record sensor information used to produce a signal. A response infrastructure may be configured for deployment to the deployment location, and a server device running application software that uses the signals received from each of the firearms may detect an ammunition level of a firearm within the deployment location and cause the deployment of the response infrastructure to the deployment location, where the response infrastructure supports a resupply of at least one firearm in the deployment location.

  • Publication number: 20200355457
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for weapon systems monitoring and remote support, including application software that receives signals from a plurality of weapons, each weapon including a plurality of sensor types. A connection point may receive signals from the weapons within a deployment location, including sensor information recorded using sensors associated with the weapons and video from at least one camera. The application software may receive the signals from the connection point and process the signals to generate a graphical user interface representing positions and orientations of the weapons within the deployment location, the graphical user interface further presenting video of areas in proximity to each of the firearms, where the application software automatically updates the graphical user interface based on signals indicating changes in the positions and orientations of one or more of the weapons and related video content.

  • Publication number: 20200355455
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for weapon systems monitoring and remote support, including a connection point that receives signals from a plurality of weapons systems within a deployment location, the signals including weapon system type for each of the plurality of weapons systems and sensor information recorded using sensors of the weapons systems. A server device may run application software that receives the signals from the connection point and processes the signals to generate a graphical user interface representing positions and orientations of the weapons systems within the deployment location. The graphical user interface may further represent cones of fire for each of the weapons systems, wherein the application software automatically updates the graphical user interface based on signals indicating changes in the positions and orientations of one or more of the weapons systems.

  • Publication number: 20200117900
    Abstract: A firearm monitoring and remote support system monitors firearms and other assets within a deployment location to detect threats to users of the firearms and to perform actions in response to the threats. Measurements recorded using sensors of the firearms and/or of the other assets are used to determine changes in motion, position, orientation, and/or operation of the firearms and/or of the other assets. The measurements are processed to determine the nature of a threat and the particular actions to perform in response thereto. Graphical user interfaces visualizing the users within the deployment location are updated using the measurements to show, in real-time, positions and orientations of cones of fire for the users within the deployment location. In some cases, the cones of fire may be used to detect threats within the deployment location. In some cases, the actions to perform in response to a detected threat may be automated.

  • Publication number: 20200011629
    Abstract: A firearm usage monitoring system configured to store data about location, movement, orientation, and direction of a firearm while in use and includes a hard-wired data and power connection, configured to receive data and power from a wired source. A serial communication system is communicatively coupled to the data and power connection and configured to send data to and receive data from the data and power connection. A microprocessor sends data to and receives data from the serial communication system. A motion monitor is communicatively coupled to the microprocessor module further comprising a gyroscope, an accelerometer and a compass configured to communicate data about movement, orientation, and direction of the firearm. Memory is communicatively coupled to the microprocessor and the motion monitor. Data about the location and position of the firearm in 3D space is transmitted from the motion monitor and GPS and then stored in the memory.
