Benefits of technology

[0005] There is provided, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus, system, and method for simulating operation of a demobilization instrument. According to some embodiments of the present invention, a launching device may be provided with a cartridge, which may be adapted to simulate firing a plurality of projectile probes from the launching device. The probes may be simulated using, for example, two or more lasers or other suitable electromagnetic radiation sources. The laser pulses may be detected by suitable detection equipment. The cartridge or other holding unit may include a computing dev

Problems solved by technology

Once the taser has been fired, it generally may not be easily reloaded and fired a second time, due to the wires connecting the taser and tips, and other physical limitations of heretofore known tasers.
Such wires may further limit the range and velocity of the tips and thereby limit the utility of the taser to the length of t

Abstract

A system, apparatus and method may simulate the operation of a demobilization instrument such as a taser, using, for example, a taser launching device with a cartridge to enable generation and firing of a plurality of simulated projectile probes. A plurality of laser events may be emitted at a simulated target. The events may be validated as valid laser pulses, the simulated projectile probe strike locations and identities may be determined, and an automated reaction may be generated. A laser system may be contained in a cartridge separable from a taser launching device or other holder.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to methods and devices useful in simulation training. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and apparatuses to enable simulating usage of immobilization weapons. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] TASER® is the trademark for currently manufactured ballistic weapons which output electrical power pulses to immobilize humans and animals and which have a lower lethality than conventional fireamms. A taser, for example, may employ a pair of projectile probes or darts having tips designed to penetrate clothing or animal flesh, such as human flesh. In operation, a taser launching device may propel the tips at a fleeing or aggressive target, for example, with the hope that the tips embed in the flesh or clothing of the target. If the tips do embed in the flesh of the target, wires, which may be connected between the tips and the taser launching device itself, may be used to deliver a high-en...
