Realistic Robotic Targets vs Pretend Paper Targets ? U.S. Army PEO STRI to Decide The entrenched opposition to robotic targets is the Paper Target Wranglers Society of America. The showdown is the Army’s next generation marksmanship simulator from Synthetic Training Environment CFT which specifies simulating enemy combatants running sideways as front-facing paper silhouettes. U.S. Army PEO STRI and US Army TRADOC control… Read More
Display of Reverse Lead or Lag on a Slower Moving or Stationary Target from a Moving Vehicle
My colleagues and I are working on a solution to display “reverse lead” or lag on a slower moving or stationary target from a moving platform. As shown in the video clip, the algorithm has been demonstrated live-fire at the range where the lag point is a plastic barrel next to the metal silhouette target…. Read More
Simulator Display of Lead on Movers Works on Military Targets
Whenever we do a demo, some wise fellow, such as Stephen LaRose or Howard Harris Sr., M.S., PhD. Student asks “Do you have proof that this works ?” We have evidence from the #CLAZER clay shooting simulator, but none for military targets. Until now. The Canadian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) published a study last year that proved that sim displaying lead… Read More
Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Awards Marksmanship Training Contract
Army’s Synthetic Training Environment – STE SVT – has awarded a marksmanship training simulator contract to teach soldiers how to hit enemy combatants. Provided enemy is front-facing silhouettes We demonstrated our commercial marksmanship training simulator STE and PEO STRI two years ago. The STE marksmanship simulator specification calls for all targets to be front-facing silhouettes,… Read More
Making The Leap From VR To AR On Moving Targets
Adding lead to 2D and VR simulators is readily done – provided the ballistics on the target requires lead. The challenge now is to display lead in real time on live fire targets (robots) in AR glasses. That’s what we’re focused on currently. We know we can do it – we just need the right… Read More
Why You Miss Behind Moving Targets
As soon as you lock onto a mover, your brain slows down, then the gun slows down, but the target doesn’t slow down, so you miss behind it. There’s a neurological explanation for this phenomena. And we have a cure 😎 https://www.mpg.de/20129686/how-the-brain-slows-down-when-we-focus-our-gaze
Cost of Reinventing Wheel Just Went Up
A judge ruled that the government must consider buying commercial products before contracting to develop a similar product. This has been common practice in the military for decades – paying a contractor $10,000 for a toilet seat that sells at Lowes for $640. See https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/capitalbusiness/the-air-forces-10000-toilet-cover/2018/07/14/c33d325a-85df-11e8-8f6c-46cb43e3f306_story.html So, for instance, if there is a patented spatial aiming shooting… Read More
2D Legacy Simulators Are The Next New Big Thing in the Metaverse
FAAC Incorporated has a contract for a U.S. Army PEO STRI STE SVT marksmanship 2D simulator prototype to teach correct spatial lead on moving targets. FAAC may use our patented commercial solution for that. 2D interactive projection systems are best suited for firearms training because 2D simulators can take a full haptic load. AR glasses like Magic Leap and Microsoft IVAS… Read More
Spatial Aim Points with Live Rounds on Live Robots
The spatial aiming solution is one step away from going live in an optic or AR glasses that display the lead on moving targets With the amazing new Magic Leap glasses, courtesy of my new best friend Joseph Nolan. I tried ’em. Tony Hawkins of Ravenswood Solutions tried ’em. Marine Gunner “Keep It Real” Vince Pope will try them as will “Moving Target Guru” Walt… Read More
Ballistically Unreal or Real Ballistics ?
Most laser-shooter simulators assume that the “ballistics” of the round is the speed of light. VR shooters (and video games) assume that the “ballistics” are the speed of light. No time of flight, no drop. If only That is ballistic fantasy island – since the trainer does not teach leading a target, drop, etc. So… Read More
