  • Patent number: 10234247
    Abstract: This apparatus offers multiple training scenarios which designates the targets to be hit and evaluates response. The apparatus assists in the evaluation and training of a shooter using multiple scenarios, detection of target strikes, timing, accuracy, and threat assessment. The system may be used with unmodified weapons and may not require attachments to weapon or shooter. The light source(s) in this apparatus may include visible lasers, focused light emitters, video or image projectors. The shooter may use live ammunition, and the weapon may be fired and operated independently of the control system. Hit detection on the targets may use vibration, accelerometer, acoustic, optical or thermal sensors that respond to projectile strikes on the designated target(s). If the specific location of the strike on the target is desired, nested targets and multiple sensor triangulation calculations may be used. This system designates which targets to shoot, when to fire, and evaluates the results.
