FIREARM TRAINING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A firearm training system, comprising:
- a firearm;
a training module mechanically coupled with the firearm, wherein the training module further includes communication circuitry and at least one of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and an attitude and heading reference system (AHRS); and
a feedback unit in communication with the training module communication circuitry wherein the feedback module is configured to receive position information from the training module and to generate feedback data.

Abstract
A firearm training system, comprising a firearm and a training module mechanically coupled with the firearm that operates to train a user to accurately fire a firearm to a target. The training module includes communication circuitry and at least one of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and an attitude and heading reference system (AHRS). The system includes a feedback unit that communicates with the training module by way of the training module communication circuitry. The feedback module is configured to receive position information from the training module and to generate feedback data and user feedback in the form of a tone or light or speech. In one embodiment, the training module generates feedback for the user. Typically, the feedback is generated to indicate movement in relation to a desired aim point.
