A system for and method of use of an augmented reality display is provided. The preferred system is implemented by one or more tactical units calculating a target path from a weapon position and a range. A lead is calculated. A phantom target is displayed at the lead. A virtual laser and virtual tracer are provided to assist in target tracking. A spotter unit is also provided to supplement target path and range data. A neural network is provided to learn from tracking and successful lead data and to predict lead in the tactical theatre.

A universal marksmanship training system is disclosed herein configured to utilize a display device comprising a graphic display. A software application may also be provided. The software application is often configured to display a virtual target on the graphic display. A chamber insert may be utilized, the chamber insert configured to be positioned with the firing chamber of a firearm to be zeroed, wherein the chamber insert interacts with the software application to determine alignment of a bore of the firearm to a bore alignment point on the graphic display. In one form, the display device displays a sight target on the graphic display wherein the sight target is visually perceived by a marksman, and is offset from the bore alignment point by a offset distance. In one form, the software application calculates the sight target relative to the bore alignment point of the firearm given a set of condition variables.

Firearm simulator targets and firearm simulation systems are disclosed. A firearm simulator target includes a processor, a memory module, a plurality of light emitting diodes, and machine readable instructions stored in the memory module. When executed by the processor, the machine readable instructions cause the firearm simulator target to illuminate a target pattern subset of the plurality of light emitting diodes such that the target pattern subset of the plurality of light emitting diodes are illuminated to display a target pattern. The target pattern subset of the plurality of light emitting diodes that are illuminated includes a first light emitting diode. When executed by the processor, the machine readable instructions further cause the firearm simulator target to receive a signal from the first light emitting diode, and determine a target hit location at the first light emitting diode based on the signal received from the first light emitting diode.
