Realistic training experience

Multiple simultaneous training scenarios

Customer Needs

The primary needs identified from the customer’s perspective were:

Develop a portable and highly accurate firearm simulator that caters to trainees of all skill levels.
Real-time results with high accuracy and complete analysis were a priority to assess trainees’ shooting performance.
The solution needed to offer a customizable marksmanship training program to meet diverse user needs.
The simulator was required to be easily transportable, feature a simple setup, and offer a wide range of weapons for training.

Solution Elements

Quadraticx addressed these challenges and customer needs through the following key elements:

Laser Trasmitter

The laser Transmitter is integrated into the training weapon and emits a laser beam each time the trigger is pulled. It simulates the act of firing real ammunition. The laser device emits laser pulses when a "shot" is fired.

Recoil Simulation System

The recoil simulation system is designed to replicate the recoil of firing a real firearm. It provides a realistic kickback when the trigger is pulled, giving trainees the physical sensation of a live shot without using real ammunition. This enhances the realism of the training experience.

Trigger Action Sensor

A sensor is placed over the trigger mechanism of the training weapon. This sensor detects and records trigger pulls and releases, providing data on trigger control and shot timing for performance analysis.

Multi-Environment Projection System

The PFSS includes a multi-environment projection system that displays training scenarios and target images on a large screen or multiple screens. This projection system can project a variety of environments, target scenarios, and training exercises simultaneously, providing trainees with a dynamic and immersive training environment.

Shot Recording Camera

A special camera is positioned to capture the trainee's shooting performance during training. It records shots, shot placement, and other relevant data. This visual data is used for analysis and feedback to trainees.

Data Collection and Analysis Software

The software is a critical component that collects shooting data, including shot accuracy, grouping, timing, and other performance metrics. It provides real-time analysis and feedback to trainees, highlighting aiming mistakes and areas for improvement. The software also records and stores training results for reference and ongoing performance tracking.
