Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for providing ballistic calculations and corrections in the field, such as mobile applications and printed range cards, are impractical in remote locations without internet or cellular connectivity, requiring users to take their eyes off the target and do not account for changing environmental conditions.
Innovation Solution
A ballistic calculator hub that communicates with external devices via Bluetooth, independent of internet or cellular connectivity, allowing users to select and store ballistic solvers, calculate ballistic solutions, and display them in real-time without requiring eye movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If mobile applications are used for ballistic calculations, then ballistic solutions can be provided, but they require internet or cellular connectivity which is not available in remote locations
Solution Approach 1:
The ballistic hub is designed to function independently of network connectivity by integrating all necessary ballistic calculation capabilities within the device itself. It can operate autonomously using stored ballistic data and sensors, making it universally applicable in both connected and remote locations without requiring internet or cellular services.
2Ease of operation
If manual printed range cards are used, then ballistic information is accessible without electronics, but they represent static data that becomes useless when environmental conditions change
Solution Approach 1:
The ballistic hub incorporates dynamic environmental sensors that continuously monitor temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind conditions. The ballistic calculations are automatically updated in real-time based on these changing conditions, allowing the system to adapt dynamically unlike static printed range cards.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from environmental sensors to continuously update ballistic corrections. The sensors provide real-time data about changing conditions, and the ballistic hub automatically adjusts the calculations based on this feedback, ensuring accuracy throughout the shooting session.
3Measurement precision
If traditional methods are used, then users can obtain ballistic solutions, but they must take their eyes off the target and out of the viewing optic
Solution Approach 1:
The ballistic hub acts as an intermediary device that receives data from external sensors and rangefinders, processes ballistic calculations, and delivers corrections to the viewing optic. This allows the shooter to obtain accurate ballistic corrections without manually checking separate resources, as the hub automatically provides the information through the optic's display.
