  • FOV field of view
  • a reticle or aiming dot By restricting the FOV of the training device to what the soldier would see while looking through their optical device, the ability to run fairly detailed marksmanship trainers with adequate fidelity is readily achievable
  • the embedded marksmanship training system (EMTS) or device (EMTD) of the present invention is a small form factor image generator designed to allow the soldier to change out their combat sight with the EMTD on their individual weapon (appended) when they are conducting their training exercise.
  • the soldier peers through their EMTS just as though using a conventional combat sight, and engages in a “Hogan's Alley” type course of fire.
  • the soldier might typically be put through a course of fire that would include “shoot-no shoot” situations, track how they acquire targets, monitor how fast the soldier engages hostile threats, and provide basic muzzle and trigger control.
  • the solider's exercise record is downloaded for review and record-keeping.
  • the downloading might be performed by a Squad or Platoon leader for After Action Review, and might be downloaded by mounting the EMTS on a cradle or by any other suitable means including wireless or similar functionality.
  • a typical review might include Hit and Miss percentage, friendly fire & civilian casualty reports and other data to help the soldier develop the necessary skills to make sound judgments in today's asymmetric warfare environment.
  • the present invention permits simulation of the loss of sight picture due to the recoil effect of the compressed air cartridge.
  • the exercise it is also possible to drill the soldier on magazine reloading skills and weapon stoppages should one naturally occur with the compressed air round.
  • such training also familiarizes soldiers not normally accustomed to drilling with firearms to the sights, sounds and smells associated with combat.
  • FIGS. 2A-2H illustrate various training scenarios 200 through 270 which can be implemented in an EMTS of the present invention.
  • the field of view shown in FIGS. 2A-2H are for purposes of illustration only; the FOV of each particular implementation is typically adjusted to match the FOV provided by the combat or other sight being emulated, although such matching is not required in all embodiments.
  • the scenario of FIG. 2A shows at image 200 conveying an “all clear—move in”, while image 210 at FIG. 2B shows an ambush—target hit.
  • FIG. 2C , image 220 shows a scenario of multiple target engagement
  • FIG. 2D , image 230 shows a target emerging from cover.
  • FIG. 2E , image 240 shows a scan scenario, in which the personnel being trained must scan for targets.
  • FIG. 2F image 250 , shows a target hit.
  • image 260 in FIG. 2G shows a civilian, which requires the personnel being trained to exercise caution and judgment.
  • image 270 illustrates a longer range target scan.
  • the EMTS of the present invention is, in an exemplary military embodiment, designed to cover four (4) primary types of combat solider: Rifleman, Machine Gunner, Grenadier, and Sniper. As noted previously, police, security forces, EOD disposal crews and others who face any formed of armed antagonist may also benefit from this training device.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a sniper example of the invention.
  • the Sniper embodiment might, for example, be fashioned after the current M24 Sniper Weapon System and allow for optical zoom and basic wind calculations and bullet drop compensation.
  • the EMTS could be based on a complete rifle, or could be based on swapping out optics.

  • EMTS may be housed in ABS plastic or other similar material with a flat panel (e.g., AMLCD) placed at the end of the optic.
  • Thermite or other computer provides the image generation through a direct or other suitable video connection to the flat panel display, and is preferably configured in a form factor which permits it to be housed within the housing.
  • Weapon position is tracked via the Bluetooth tracking devices.
  • the ABS housing may be, for example, the same diameter as the Aimpoint Optical Combat Sight (30 mm) and can be mounted on a simulated weapon.
  • a small trigger sensor is to monitor and track student trigger pull input.
  • the software to provide the simulated environment can be leveraged from the DAGGERS program or commercial developments, for example a scenario similar to the Novalogic Blackhawk down PC game.
  • movement through the scene may be limited to left and right movement only.

  • the additional complication of such systems while desirable in some situations, may not be desirable in all situations. It should be noted, that while movement may be desirable, it may overwhelm the system by making it too overly complicated. Such complication may not be necessary in instances involving pure marksmanship and decision-based training.
  • the present invention in itself, does not provide a complete virtual environment, since the user will be peering through his optical sight for then entire training period if only the EMTS is used.
  • a further virtual environment can be implemented in which a combination of an EMTS in accordance with the present invention, together with a large scale image generator, can be constructed which would allow the soldier to shift from peering through the EMTS and then shifting his focus to the “real world” of the large scale image generator.
  • Such a combination permits the consideration of life-like training exercises, although such training must be conducted in a constrained environment rather than in the field as may be achieved by use of the EMTS by itself.
  • the EMTD 430 includes a housing 440 which may be mounted particularly to the rail mount for the sighting system of a weapon, such as shown in FIG. 4B .
  • a joystick I/O device 450 for selecting and controlling the training scenarios, together with a plurality of programmable I/O buttons 460 A-C which may, for example, control specific operations within the training scenario such as jump, open door, and so on as required for the training scenario.
