US12687358 - Weapon usage monitoring system having discharge event monitoring with zero radio signal emission

A system for providing discharge monitoring of a firearm includes an event detection module and a signal processing module. The event detection module can have at least one sensor that senses an acceleration and generates an acceleration signal. The signal processing module can receive the acceleration signal. The signal processing module can be configured to determine whether the acceleration signal is a discharge event and generate an event detection signal based on the determination. The signal processing module can further store event data based on the acceleration signal and maintain a shot count of the firearm based on the determination that the event detection signal is a discharge event. The event detection module can selectively communicate the event data wirelessly to a server device.

US12578158 - Systems and techniques for identifying gun events

The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for identifying gun events. A gun event may include a nominal event, such as the discharging of a projectile or the ejecting of a cartridge shell, or an anomalous event, such as a misfire or a failure to feed. An apparatus may include a sensor that measures motion of a gun along multiple axes. The apparatus may identify a gun event based on the measured motion of the gun satisfying a motion condition. The motion condition may include an acceleration threshold value, and the measured motion of the gun may satisfy the motion condition based on a measured acceleration value exceeding the threshold acceleration value. The apparatus may transmit an electrical signal based on the measured motion of the gun satisfying the motion condition. The electrical signal may reset a charging circuit, increment a shot count, or decrement a round count.
