System and method for monitoring and assessing projectile performance

Abstract

A projectile targeting solution is provided that can monitor, log and assess projectile performance of a launcher device or a projectile launched from the launcher device. The projectile targeting solution includes a method, system and computer program for monitoring, logging or assessing performance of the launcher device or projectile and adjusting the launcher device for optimal trajectory to a target based on a projectile performance assessment for the launcher device or the projectile.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO PRIOR APPLICATION[0001]The present application claims the benefit of and priority to provisional U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 946,802, filed on Dec. 11, 2019, titled, “System and Method for Monitoring and Assessing Projectile Performance,” which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, as if fully set forth herein.FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]The disclosure relates generally to a method, system and computer program for monitoring, logging or assessing performance of a launcher device or a projectile launched from the launcher device, and for adjusting the launcher device for optimal trajectory to a target based on a projectile performance assessment for the launcher device or the projectile.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0003]Projectile tracking can be a daunting task. Historically, projectile tracking has relied on human spotters using various optical gear, and in some cases, laser rangefinders. Once a target is ranged a shooter is offered...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a system for monitoring, logging, assessing, and adjusting the performance of a launcher device and its projectile. This system can analyze data on the trajectory of the projectile, predict its actual trajectory, compare it to the optimal trajectory, and generate correction parameters to adjust the launcher device for optimal trajectory. The system can also include a computer program and a transceiver for receiving and analyzing projectile trajectory data. The technical effects of this patent include improved accuracy and efficiency in targeting and launching projectiles.

Problems solved by technology

However, human spotters may not be available in certain environments, such as, for example, target practice or hunting.

Moreover, human spotters can provide erroneous or inconsistent information, resulting in costly and unnecessary expenditure of ammunition, arrows or other projectiles.
