Description

QUICK COUNTERATTACK SHOOTING TRAINING SYSTEM USING LASER SHOOTER, AND METHOD OF THE SAME

Technical Field

[1] The present invention relates to a shooting training system using a laser shooter for training a quick counterattack shooting ability while quickly dominating a certain threat in a direction by shooting a laser beam instead of shooting a gun bullet.

[2]

Background Art

[3] A gun shooting training is needed for quickly dominating a threat in a certain situation when moving or stopping. Using an actual bullet needs an economical burden and accompanies danger.

[4] So, a shooting training is generally performed in a static shooting training in a shooting field with a safety system. The above shooting training needs a lot of money and danger, so it is generally performed just for the purpose of practicing a shooting skill and keep shooting feeling.

[5] In order to overcome the above-described economical problems, a shooting training system using a laser shooter is used by means of a laser beam instead of an actual bullet when a trainee shoots.

[6] In the shooting training system which uses a laser shooter, there are a static shooting training system for precisely shooting a fixed target, a dynamic training system in which a plurality of targets are exposed to a trainee in a set sequence, and the trainee shoots the targets using a laser shooter, and a video shooting and training system in which a background is projected on a screen, and the targets are projected on the same, and a trainee shoots the targets using a laser shooter. In addition, there is a MILES (Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System) system in which a laser sensor is attached to a trainee s clothes, and a trainee is trained with a gun having a laser shooter which shoots a laser beam like an actual war.

[7] However, the shooting training system using a laser shooter has the following problems. The static shooting training is a precise shooting training like a sniper shooting, so it is not proper for a basic shooting training. Namely, it is not proper for a quick counterattack training which needs a first-see-first-shoot. In the dynamic training system, a training manager or a trainee sets an appearance sequence of the targets by himself, so a random play lacks in the training scenario. Since the trainee adapts to a training scenario, an actual counterattack training is not satisfied.

[8] The shooting system using a video is possible to allow an imaginary target to dy- namically appear on a screen, so it is possible to make a real-like shooting training scenario, and since the size of a screen is limited, a vision angle between the targets is narrow, which fails to make an outdoor-line situation, and it cannot be adapted to an outdoor training. Since all training scenarios are set by the training manager or a trainee, a random training lacks. The system is expensive, and a shooting training in which a trainee shoots while moving is impossible.

[9] The outdoor simulation combat training performed using a laser shooter with a uniform being equipped with a laser receipt sensor is useful when evaluating the final training performance, but it is not proper for a quick counterattack shooting training.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[28] The embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[29] Figure 1 is a schematic view illustrating a training system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a detailed view of a shooting training control circuit 10 of Figure 1. Figure 3 is a detailed view of a target apparatus 20 of Figure 1.

[30] As shown in Figure 1, in this system, at least two target apparatuses 20 are connected with the shooting training control circuit 10 using a communication cable 50, and as shown in Figure 6, the actual target installation is performed by changing the direction, distance and height from the trainee.

[31] As shown in Figure 1, the shooting training control circuit 10 controls all the operations of the system, and Figure 5 is a flow chart of all the operations of the system.

[32] The target apparatus 20 of Figure 1 recognizes an attack warning indication as receiving an operation from the shooting training control circuit 10 in a form of light 26 A and sound 26B, and receives a laser beam emitted as the trainee shots by using the laser sensor 29 and the laser receiving circuit 28D. When the trainee fails to hit the target apparatus 20 with a laser beam within an attack warning time set by the shooting training control circuit 10 as the trainee sees the attack warning signal, the target apparatus 20 stops the attack warning indication, and transmits an attack warning time over signal to the shooting training control circuit 10, and the shooting training control circuit 10 simulates the attack in a form of sound, so that it is possible to recognize that the trainee is dead.

[33] The laser shooter 30 of Figure 1 has a function for simulating a shooting mode of an actual gun which is made for the purpose of a training while additionally providing an actual gun with an additional device for shooting a laser beam depending on a shooting signal by the trainee.

[34] The operation of the present invention will be described as follows with reference to

Figure 5.

[35] The shooting training control circuit 10 of Figure 2 includes a microcomputer 14, a training variable setting circuit 18 for inputting shooting variables, a random number generation circuit 15, a communication circuit 12 for communicating with a target apparatus, a shooting sound generator 19 A, a display unit 19B for displaying a result of the training, and a target connection connector 11. The power circuit 13 receives a DC power from the outside through the power connection connector 16, and charges the battery 17, and supplies the power to the target apparatus 20 through the target connection connector 11. The power is supplied to the battery 17 when in power failure or outdoor training.

[36] As shown in Figure 2, the microcomputer 14 reads a number of targets, a shooting interval, an attack warning time and the number of shootings which are set in the shooting variable setting unit 18 and use them in a training process control.

[37] As shown in Figure 2, the microcomputer 14 reads a random number from a random number generation circuit 15, and extracts a number of the target apparatus 20 based on a computation with the number of the targets set in the shooting variable.

[38] A random number might be obtained based on a hardware, and the microcomputer 14 might generate the same by driving a random number generation algorithm.

[39] The number of the target apparatus 20 and the attack warning time read from the shooting variable setting unit are sent to the target apparatus 20 through a communication circuit 11.

[40] Figure 7 is a view of a communication format between a shooting training controller and a target apparatus, and Figure 8 is a view of another communication format between a shooting training controller and a target apparatus.

[41] The microcomputer 25 of the target apparatus 20 of Figure 3 receives the target control signal (Figure 7) from the shooting training control circuit 10 and the power through the communication circuit 15 and the target connection connector 2 IA.

[42] The target connection connector 2 IB is a connector for supplying power as being connected with the target apparatus 20.

[43] As shown in Figure 7, the target apparatus control signal is a target apparatus number

(address) and an attack warning time. All the target apparatuses of the shooting training system receive the control signal from the shooting training control circuit 10, and the target apparatus number allows the target apparatus matching with the target apparatus address to operate, so the target apparatus 20 designated by the shooting training control circuit 10 among multiple target apparatuses operates.

[44] The target apparatus 20, which receives an operation instruction from the micro- computer 14, recognizes an attack warning signal in a form of light 26B and sound 26B. The attack warning time is received from the microcomputer 14 and is designated as a target control signal (Figure 7).

[45] A shooting trainee aims the laser shooter 30 at the target apparatus at the moment when he recognizes the target apparatus 20 having an attack warning and shoots a laser beam.

[46] When the laser sensor 29 and the laser receiving circuit 28D receive the laser beam from the laser shooter during the attack warning time, it is assumed that the target apparatus is attacked, and the attack warning stops, and the laser signal receiving signal (Figure 8 ) is transmitted to the microcomputer 14 of the shooting training control circuit 10.

[47] When the laser beam is not received within an attack warning time, the target apparatus 20 gives up an attack warning recognition, and the attack warning exceeding signal (Figure 8 ) is transmitted to the shooting training control circuit, and the shooting training control circuit 10 simulates an attack indication sound (shooting sound) to the shooting sound generator 19 A.

[48] The microcomputer 14 of the shooting training control circuit 10 reads random numbers from the random number generation circuit 50 as much as the shooting interval delay set in the shooting variable setting unit 18 for thereby calculating the next target apparatus number.

[49] The microcomputer 14 designates an operation for all the target apparatuses as many as the shooting numbers designated by the shooting variable setting unit 18, and the trainee aims the laser shooter at the target apparatus 20 which has an attack warning for a recognition time of the attack and shoots and dominates the targets with the laser beam.

[50] The above operations are repeated as many as the shooting number set in the shooting variable setting unit 18, and when the set number is finished, the operation stops as it is considered to have been finished.

[51] The total shooting number and the number of the hit targets with the laser b4eam are shown on the display unit 19B as a result of the training.

[52] The shooting training has a long attack warning time at an initial stage, and when skilled, the attack warning time is gradually decreased, and the domination is instantly performed at the time when the attack warning signal is recognized.

[53] When the attack warning time is set longer, the training like an actual shooting training can be performed.

[54] As the present invention may be embodied in several forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof, it should also be understood that the above-described examples are not limited by any of the details of the foregoing de- scription, unless otherwise specified, but rather should be construed broadly within its spirit and scope as defined in the appended claims, and therefore all changes and modifications that fall within the meets and bounds of the claims, or equivalences of such meets and bounds are therefore intended to be embraced by the appended claims.
