  • Publication number: 20240027157
    Abstract: A weapon usage monitoring system that monitors information about at least a first weapon and a second weapon includes a mobile networking hub, a first weapon response device, a second weapon response device and an edge compute resource. The mobile networking hub can provide a local area network (LAN). The first weapon response device can have a first sensor that senses first weapon response data about the first weapon. The first weapon response device can communicate the first weapon response data to the mobile networking hub. The second weapon response device can have a second sensor that senses second weapon response data about the second weapon. The second weapon response device can communicate the second weapon response data to the mobile networking hub. An edge compute resource can aggregate the first and second weapon response data from the mobile networking hub into aggregated weapon response data.
