Abstract:

An apparatus for communicating simulation data is disclosed. The apparatus includes an assembly for mounting the apparatus on an edifice. The apparatus further includes a receiver for receiving simulation data from a plurality of players within a specified area of the edifice and for receiving simulation data from a central controller. The apparatus further includes a transmitter for transmitting simulation data to the plurality of players and to the central controller, wherein simulation data is transmitted to the central controller only when a simulation event occurs. In one alternative, the apparatus further includes an infrared camera for capturing video and still images of simulation events. In another alternative, the apparatus includes an infrared radiator for producing infrared light for illuminating video and still images captured by the infrared camera.

Appl. No.:

12/684712

Inventors:

Steven Preston - Winter Springs FL, US
Edward S. Kaprocki - Debary FL, US
Thomas H. Penner - Apopka FL, US

Assignee:

Lockheed Martin Corporation - Bethesda MD

International Classification:

H04B 10/00

US Classification:

398135, 398127, 398128, 398137

Abstract:

A processor can determine a relative position within a room of a person wearing a force-on-force device based exclusively upon sensed optical signals detected by optical sensors connected to the force-on-force device. Each of the sensed optical signals is geographically focused within a spatially constrained zone. Each sensed optical signal can further include digitally encoded data indicating an optical source that emitted the sensed optical signal and a spatially constrained zone of the sensed optical signal. The relative position can be determined based on determining a grid within the room within which the person is located. The grid can be defined by overlapping ones of the spatially constrained zones of the sensed optical signals.

Lockheed Martin Corporation - Bethesda MD

International Classification:

F41G 3/26

US Classification:

434 21, 434 11, 434 22

Abstract:

A set of light generating devices provide simultaneously emission of a first modulated light beam and at least a second modulated light beam. The set of light generating devices are positioned so that their respective light beams are incident on the scanning mirror at different elevation angles. A photodetector detects reflected light from the target. A simulation controller is coupled to receive data obtained from the reflected light to generate a scan control signal based on the receive data and a projectile trajectory path for the projectile to the target. The scan control signal sequentially scans the elevation angle of the scanning mirror so that the respective light beams simultaneously scan different sectors of the simulated trajectory path to obtain a simulation that represents the projectile trajectory path.

International Classification:

F41A 33/00

US Classification:

434 11

Abstract:

Embodiments include a non-pyrotechnic detonation simulator. The simulator includes a substrate, a plurality of capacitors fixed with respect to the substrate, a voltage source, and a controller. The controller is electrically coupled to the capacitors and is adapted to selectively direct a burst voltage from the voltage source to one or more of the capacitors to cause the one or more of the plurality of capacitors to burst.

Assignee:

Lockheed Martin Corporation - Orlando FL

International Classification:

F41A 33/00

US Classification:

434 11

Abstract:

A non-pyrotechnic cueing device for use in non-lethal gunfire activities. The cueing device includes a fluid container for containing a fluid, and a fluid discharge assembly in communication with the fluid container. The fluid discharge assembly is adapted to force the fluid from the fluid container through an opening of the fluid container upon activation. A trigger having an engaged position with respect to the fluid discharge assembly and a disengaged position with respect to the fluid discharge assembly is adapted to activate the fluid discharge assembly upon movement to the disengaged position. A thermally responsive non-pyrotechnic trigger actuator is coupled to the trigger and is adapted to selectively move the trigger to the disengaged position.

US Classification:

434 21, 434 11, 434 16, 434 19

Abstract:

An alignment device for a weapon that generates a simulation beam and an alignment beam used to align the simulation beam with the weapon's sight. The device can be secured to the weapon during the alignment process, after which it can be removed. The device includes a housing that can be mounted on the weapon so that its optical receiving port intersects both the optical alignment beam generated by the optical transmitter and the sighting axis of the weapon's sight. The optical receiving port includes an optical arrangement for receiving the alignment beam and focusing it on a projection screen located inside the housing. An image of the alignment beam on the projection screen can be viewed through the sight. The alignment beam is parallel to the simulation beam. Thus, by centering the alignment beam in the sight, the alignment beam, and hence the simulation beam, will be properly aligned.

US Classification:

3403981, 3408157, 3403843

Abstract:

A device includes a housing and a hammer. A motor is coupled to the hammer to move the hammer away from a side of the housing and release the hammer. A tension spring is coupled to the hammer to cause the hammer to strike the housing after the hammer is moved away from the housing by the motor and released. The housing acts as a sounding device to simulate the sound of gunfire.

Abstract:

A method on a computer unit for calculating and transmitting position data is disclosed. The method includes monitoring motion of the unit. If motion of the unit is detected, the method further includes initiating a start sequence of the unit, calculating current position data of the unit using the Global Positioning System (GPS), calculating a difference between the current position data of the unit and a previous position data of the unit and transmitting the current position data of the unit if the difference is greater than a threshold value.
