  • Patent number: 9011151
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system for simulating firing a gun comprises a firing system and a transmitting system coupled to the firing system. The firing system fires a cartridge and comprises a chamber and a hammer. The chamber receives and holds the cartridge, and the hammer strikes the cartridge. The transmitting system detects movement of the hammer and transmits simulation data prior to the hammer striking the cartridge.

  • Patent number: 8157565
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a military training device includes a multiple integrated laser engagement system (MILES) device configured in a piece of apparel. The multiple integrated laser engagement system device includes a light transducing element coupled to an electrical circuit. The light transducing element transmits or receives multiple integrated laser engagement system compliant signals. The light transducing element is attached to an outer surface of the apparel and oriented so that a radiation pattern of the multiple integrated laser engagement system compliant signals is generated outwardly from the apparel during use.

  • Patent number: 7976309
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, there is provided a method for simulating damage inside a chamber in response to receiving a detection signal from one or more sensors outside the chamber. The method includes receiving the detection signal from the one or more sensors located outside the chamber in response to the one or more sensors detecting a simulated hit to outside the chamber. In response, emitting light from one or more light sources to simulate damage inside the chamber.

  • Publication number: 20080286725
    Abstract: In one embodiment according to the present disclosure, a military training apparatus generally includes an electrical power converter for coupling between a simulated weapon device and an electrical power system of a vehicle. The electrical power system has at least one operating characteristic that is incompatible with the simulated weapon device. The electrical power converter is operable to receive electrical power from the electrical power system and adjust the electrical power provided to the simulated weapon device such that an operating characteristic of the simulated weapon device remains within one or more specified limits.
