Adjustable sighting and shooting firearm mounting vise
An adjustable sighting and shooting firearm mounting vise receives a firearm to assist shooters with sighting and discharging the firearm. The firearm mounting vise includes a first base support, a second base support, a pair of positional-adjustment tracks, a forend support, a stock support, a trigger actuator, a trigger switch, a controller housing, a wireless receiver, and a microcontroller. The first base support and the second base support the pair of positional-adjustment tracks. The pair of positional-adjustment tracks allows the forend support, the stock support, and the trigger actuator to translate along each positional-adjustment track to accommodate a plurality of firearms to be secured by the firearm mounting vise. The controller housing protects electrical components including the microcontroller and the wireless receiver. The microcontroller receives control signals through the wireless receiver or directly from the trigger switch to activate the trigger actuator and discharging the firearm.

Marksmanship training aid
Various systems, devices, processes, and techniques may be used for marksmanship training. In particular implementations, motion data for a firearm may be acquired during live operation by a firearm operator using a sensor assembly coupled to a firearm. The motion data may be analyzed to detect a firing event, and the firing event may be used to pretrigger recording of the motion data. In certain implementations, the recorded motion data may be analyzed to determine inappropriate firing control actions, if any, and to provide corrective actions to a firearm operator about inappropriate firing control actions.

System and method for increasing performance of shooter and firearm
A system and method for measuring, characterizing, and making recommendations for improving the performance of a shooter and one or more associated firearms. A data collection environment comprises an operator device and a server and data management module configured to receive and transmit one or more data sets over a network. A rig, which may be configured with sensors, may comprise a base assembly, a stock assembly, a grip/trigger assembly, a forend assembly a remote trigger assembly, and a safety lanyard assembly.
INDIRECT FIRE MISSION TRAINING SYSTEM
A weapon training system for an indirect firing weapon. The weapon training system includes a firing box including at least one processor, and a firing mechanism communicatively coupled with the firing box. Activation of the firing mechanism causes a simulated firing of the indirect firing weapon. The weapon training system also includes a round sensor communicatively coupled with the firing box. The round sensor is operable to be attached to or integrated with a round compatible with the weapon. The round is operable to be inserted into a breech of the weapon. The weapon training system further includes a breech sensor communicatively coupled with the firing box. The breech sensor is configured to detect an insertion of the round into the breech of the weapon via detection of the round sensor.

INSTRUMENTED TRAINING MORTAR SYSTEM
A weapon training system including a magnetic sensor system is described. The magnetic sensor system is insertable into or integrated with a round of an indirect firing weapon and includes at least one magnetic sensor and a microcontroller communicatively coupled to the at least one magnetic sensor. The microcontroller is configured to perform operations including receiving at least one proximity signal from the at least one magnetic sensor indicating a proximity of at least one magnet of at least one charge to the at least one magnetic sensor, determining, based on the at least one proximity signal, that the at least one charge is removably attached to the round, generating an output signal indicating that the at least one charge is removably attached to the round, and wirelessly transmitting the output signal to an electronic device.
