An impact indication system for indicating an impact of a projectile on a target. The impact indication system includes an impact sensing system including a g-force sensor, a housing engagable with the target, and a first computing device including at least a processor and a memory. The impact indication system further includes a signal output unit including a housing, a signal output device, a second computing device including a processor and a memory, the first computing device operable to send a signal to the second computing device in response to sensing the impact, and the second computing device operable to produce a signal indicative of the impact.

A system trains usage of a firearm and includes an end unit, a processing subsystem, and a control subsystem remotely located from the end unit. The end unit includes an image sensor that is positioned against a target that has a bar code. The image sensor defines a field of view of a scene that includes the target, and the bar code stores encoded information that defines a target coverage zone. The system selectively operates in a first mode and a second mode according to input from the control subsystem. In the first mode the end unit scans the bar code to extract the target coverage zone. In the second mode the image sensor captures a series of images of the target coverage zone, and the processing subsystem analyzes regions of the captured series of images to determine a strike, by a projectile of the firearm, on the target.

An aerial vehicle is described that is capable of interacting within a TES environment, and capable of acting as a Ground Based Air Defense (GBAD) platform to represent virtually any type of aircraft in the simulation. The aerial vehicle may include sensors for determining its own location and/or orientation, and may further carry a payload of components that can be assembled modularly to equipped the aerial vehicle with different types of functionality. Such functionality can include enabling the aerial vehicle to gather information regarding its surroundings, engage with other military entities within the TES environment, and/or enable other military entities within the TES environment to engage with it.

A gaming apparatus including a tracking system arranged to track at least one position of a user delivered projectile; and a processing unit for receiving tracking data detected by the tracking system to generate projectile data representative of a path of the user delivered projectile.

The present invention relates to a shooting system using a drone, and disclosed is a shooting system using a drone, which comprises a laser gun and a sensor capable of receiving laser light instead of a shotgun and a pigeon used in a conventional clay shooting, wherein the laser gun comprises a firing recoil unit and a firing sound unit and the takeoff/landing and flight trajectory of the drone are controlled on the ground, thereby maintaining the advantages of clay shooting while eliminating risk factors related to the use of a shotgun and improving the problems of treating a damaged pigeon.

An interactive laser tag converter for a toy gun for entertaining multiple play participants in a game is disclosed. The converter comprises a housing being substantially hollow which contains an IR beam detecting mean capable of detecting an IR beam of light emitted from an IR beam source; a plurality of sensors contained in the housing and being capable of sensing loading or cocking action of the toy gun, and triggering of the toy gun; a bottom attachment or the like of staying in contact with the toy gun; and a display end at one end of the laser tag converter to show data or score of the game.

A method for determining an impact location of an object on a vehicle including reading in a first sensor signal value of a first sensor of the vehicle at a predefined first point in time, a second sensor signal value of the first sensor at a predefined second point in time following the first point in time, and a sample value of a second sensor of the vehicle at a third point in time following the second point in time. Additionally, an interpolation point is calculated from the first sensor signal value and the second sensor signal value by using the sample value, at least one component of the interpolation point corresponding to the sample value. A time lag between an interpolation instant assigned to the interpolation point, and the third point in time takes place. Finally, the time lag is used for determining the impact location of the object.
