System and Method to Minimize Laser Misalignment Error in a Firearms Training Simulator
First Claim
1. In a weapon simulation system, a method for correcting the misalignment error between a laser of a simulated weapon and an actual aim point line of the simulated weapon, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) storing a compensation offset profile and a compensation angle profile in a weapon controller card in the simulated weapon;
b) transmitting said compensation offset profile and said compensation angle profile from said weapon controller card to a central computer;
c) calculating the misalignment error of an aim point on a screen of the aim point line by said central computer using said compensation offset profile and said compensation angle profile from said weapon controller card; and
d) identifying the actual aim point in the central computer by using the misalignment error.

Abstract
A weapon simulation system is used to correct the misalignment between a laser of a simulated weapon and an aim point of the simulated weapon. A compensation offset profile and a compensation angle profile are stored in a weapon controller card in the simulated weapon identifying the misalignment of the laser module in the corresponding simulated weapon. The compensation offset profile and compensation angle profile is transmitted from the weapon controller card to a central computer, where the central computer calculates the aim point of the simulated weapon using said compensation offset profile and said compensation angle profile from said weapon controller card. The position of the simulated weapon with respect to a screen of the weapon simulation system is further calculated using an RFID reader in electrical communication with the weapon controller card and at least one RFID tag positioned in a fire line mat, which transmits the position information to said central computer.
