Embodiment Construction

[0016] Embedded training for dismounted soldiers offers the potential for profound improvement in training of at least forward deployed units. Soldier-worn or -carried, untethered training systems offer the opportunity to create individual and squad level training environments for The research performed under the DAGGERS program sought to provide a complete squad level virtual training environment for soldiers to operate within Army Databases with combined arms and to allow squad level training for urban operations and rural combat zones.

[0017] Recent events, such as those in Iraq and elsewhere, suggest that individual marksmanship is taking on a new level of importance. The present invention provides a system, device and method to permit those using weapons in combat situations to train anywhere and at any time with their combat weapon system. The present invention provides the ability to equip every soldier, for example, with their own personal record of marksmanship progress fro...

Abstract

A weapons-mounted marksmanship training system comprises a system adapted to be a replacement device for the sighting system of a conventional weapon. The training system includes a high resolution display controlled by an embedded CPU and graphics processor, with video training images maintained in a mass storage unit. A motion tracking unit is also provided to detect motion of the weapon on which the training system is mounted. Personnel being trained in the use of the weapon are able to select a training scenario, which is then realistically portrayed in the image display, without the need for any special environment or external devices.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] The present application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 568,122 filed on May 3, 2004, entitled “Embedded Marksmanship Training System and Method”.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to training systems, and in particular relates to weapon-mounted training systems. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Training armed forces personnel, police, guards and others in the efficient, effective and safe use of rifles and similar weapons has, in the past, primarily involved the use of special facilities such as firing ranges. However, obtaining access to such facilities, as well as organizing sufficient time to use them, has limited the utility of such facilities. [0004] These limitations have been particularly true for armed personnel deployed in the field. For these individuals, access to such facilities is typically very limited, even though it is just...
