System for elevated speed firearms training scenarios

摘要

A system and method advance human performance in sighting, tracking, recognizing, and reacting to (collectively “engaging”) moving and stationary objects, for example, advancing skill in engaging targets with a firearm. System components include software and hardware that provide target and non-target image stimuli that can be manually or automatically generated as stationary or moving stimuli on a grid pattern. The system includes a database including a plurality of training scenarios, each training scenario including a sequence of stimuli, the sequence of stimuli including targets for the trainee to engage; a display for the presentation of the sequence of stimuli; and a data processor generating the presentation of the sequence of stimuli on the display, providing an operator interface, and providing performance reporting. The sequence of stimuli can include a range of difficulty of engagement, for example, an increasing period, a plateau period, and a final period.

1. A system for conditioning a trainee's firearms skills, comprising:
a database including a plurality of training scenarios, each training scenario including a sequence of stimuli, the sequence of stimuli including targets for the trainee to engage; a display for the presentation of the sequence of stimuli to the trainee; a data processor generating the presentation of the sequence of stimuli on the display, providing an operator interface, and providing performance reporting; a firearm for engagement of targets by trainee; and a firearm sensor coupled to the data processor, the firearm sensor and data processor determining the aimpoint of the firearm relative to the display and targets; and wherein the operator interface provides selection of one of the plurality of training scenarios, each of the plurality of training scenarios including:
a grid pattern displayed on the display with the targets for the trainee to engage, wherein the grid pattern is visually fixed relative to the targets such that the orientation and placement of the grid pattern is independent to movement of the aimpoint of the firearm;a stimulus type;an initial delay period; andan initial stimulus speed; and wherein the sequence of stimuli includes providing a range of difficulty of engagement, including at least one of incrementally reducing a period of time that each stimuli is displayed and incrementally reducing a period of time between the display of one stimulus ending and the display of a subsequent stimulus beginning.
