Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to systems and methods for analyzing a marksman training exercise. Embodiments disclosed herein include determining a desired instructor speed and a desired instructor accuracy for a plurality of shots in the marksman training exercise, determining a desired student speed and a desired student accuracy for the plurality of shots in the marksman training exercise, and assigning the desired instructor speed and the desired instructor accuracy a first percentage. Some embodiments are configured for assigning the desired student speed and the desired student accuracy a second percentage, receiving a marksman speed data and a marksman accuracy data for the plurality of shots by a marksman, and converting the marksman speed data and the marksman accuracy data into respective percentages based on the first percentage and the second percentage.

Claims

1. A method for analyzing a marksman training exercise comprising:

determining a desired instructor speed and a desired instructor accuracy for a plurality of shots in the marksman training exercise;

determining a desired student speed and a desired student accuracy for the plurality of shots in the marksman training exercise;

assigning the desired instructor speed and the desired instructor accuracy a first percentage;

assigning the desired student speed and the desired student accuracy a second percentage;

receiving a marksman speed data and a marksman accuracy data for the plurality of shots by a marksman;

converting, by a computing device, the marksman speed data and the marksman accuracy data into respective percentages based on the first percentage and the second percentage; and

providing data related to the respective percentages for display.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising utilizing the marksman speed data and the marksman accuracy data to determine an instruction for improvement.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving image data of the marksman; and

utilizing the image data to determine an instruction for improvement.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising assigning a speed score to the marksman speed data and an accuracy score to the marksman accuracy data.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising assigning a first numerical score to a head shot and a second numerical score to a body shot, the first numerical score and the second numerical score being combined to provide a total score for the marksman.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining a travel speed of the marksman between shots and providing a travel speed score.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising determining fatigue of the marksman, based on the travel speed.

8. A system for analyzing a marksman training exercise comprising:

a memory component that stores logic that cause the system to perform at least the following;

determine a desired instructor speed and a desired instructor accuracy for a plurality of shots in the marksman training exercise;

determine a desired student speed and a desired student accuracy for the plurality of shots in the marksman training exercise;

assign the desired instructor speed and the desired instructor accuracy a first percentage;

assign the desired student speed and the desired student accuracy a second percentage;

receive a marksman speed data and a marksman accuracy data for the plurality of shots by a marksman;

convert the marksman speed data and the marksman accuracy data into respective percentages based on the first percentage and the second percentage;

utilize the marksman speed data and the marksman accuracy data to determine an instruction for improvement; and

provide the instruction for improvement for display.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the logic further causes the system to perform at least the following:

receiving image data of the marksman; and

utilizing the image data to determine the instruction for improvement.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the logic further causes the system to assign a speed score to the marksman speed data and an accuracy score to the marksman accuracy data.

11. The system of claim 8, wherein the logic further causes the system to assign a first numerical score to a head shot and a second numerical score to a body shot, the first numerical score and the second numerical score being combined to provide a total score for the marksman.

12. The system of claim 8, wherein the logic further causes the system to determine a travel speed of the marksman between shots and providing a travel speed score.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the logic further causes the system to determine fatigue of the marksman, based on the travel speed.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for analyzing a marksman training exercise that stores a program that when executed by a computing device causes the computing device to perform at least the following:

determine a desired instructor speed and a desired instructor accuracy for a plurality of shots in the marksman training exercise;

determine a desired student speed and a desired student accuracy for the plurality of shots in the marksman training exercise;

assign the desired instructor speed and the desired instructor accuracy a first percentage;

assign the desired student speed and the desired student accuracy a second percentage;

receive a marksman speed data and a marksman accuracy data for the plurality of shots by a marksman;

utilize the marksman speed data and the marksman accuracy data to determine an instruction for improvement; and

provide the instruction for improvement for display.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14, wherein the program further causes the system to perform at least the following:

receiving image data of the marksman; and

utilizing the image data to determine the instruction for improvement.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14, wherein the program further causes the system to assign a speed score to the marksman speed data and an accuracy score to the marksman accuracy data.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14, wherein the program further causes the system to assign a first numerical score to a head shot and a second numerical score to a body shot, the first numerical score and the second numerical score being combined to provide a total score for the marksman.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14, wherein the program further causes the system to determine a travel speed of the marksman between shots and providing a travel speed score.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18, wherein the program further causes the system to determine fatigue of the marksman, based on the travel speed.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14, wherein the program further causes the computing device to convert the marksman speed data and the marksman accuracy data into respective percentages based on the first percentage and the second percentage.
