Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing shooting range facilities are often stationary, expensive, and pose challenges in terms of location, safety, and environmental concerns, making it difficult for military and police personnel to practice effectively, especially in urban areas where noise and projectile safety are concerns.
Innovation Solution
A containerized tubular shooting range assembly that is movable and equipped with a non-penetratable tubular element, absorbent walls, a cabin with ventilation and lighting, and a target retrieval system that includes a projectile detection unit, allowing for adjustable and safe indoor/outdoor shooting practices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If shooting ranges are constructed in remote premises to ensure safety and reduce noise pollution, then safety and environmental concerns are addressed, but the cost of construction and rental expenses increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The shooting range is divided into modular components including tubular elements, target assemblies, and support structures that can be independently manufactured and assembled. This segmentation allows for cost-effective production while maintaining safety standards through standardized design modules.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the physical parameters of the shooting range by using tubular elements with specific acoustic absorption properties and projectile containment capabilities. These parameter changes enable the system to reduce noise pollution and ensure projectile safety without requiring expensive remote premises.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If shooting ranges are installed inside enclosed building structures to ensure safety, then projectile containment is improved, but the system becomes stationary and operational flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The shooting range system transitions from a static enclosed structure to a dynamic, movable configuration. The tubular elements and target assemblies are designed to be repositionable, allowing the system to maintain projectile containment while adapting to different locations and operational requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The modular design enables the shooting range to serve multiple functions and be deployed in various settings. The same components can be configured for different shooting disciplines and relocated as needed, providing both safety and operational versatility.
3Ease of operation
If traditional shooting ranges use stationary targets placed at fixed distances, then shooting practice is simplified, but training effectiveness for real-life situations is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The target system incorporates movable targets that can be positioned at varying distances and angles from the shooter. This dynamic target configuration maintains operational simplicity while significantly improving training effectiveness by simulating real-life shooting scenarios.
