Location of Miss and Hit Sensor (LOMAH) target systems are precision scoring devices that detect the hit's location on a target silhouette. They are even able to detect the location of near misses. Shot results are displayed instantly, providing performance feedback on the range control system. The LOMAH technology enhances marksmanship training efficiency, allowing shooters to hone their skills while conserving both time and resources.
With its automatic scoring feature, there's no need for frequent trips to the target area to gather data. The system minimizes inaccuracies inherent in manual, labor-intensive shot analysis. Additionally, it prevents data loss from overlapping rounds, especially during automatic fire, ensuring all shots are accurately accounted for.
The shot's calculated position is seamlessly relayed to the control system, whether it's a desktop, handheld device, or the shooter's monitor. As shots are taken, the control system immediately displays and scores them, updating both the mean point of impact and extreme dispersion. On the control system's monitor, these hits or misses are visually represented both graphically and in Cartesian coordinates relative to the target silhouettes.
The LOMAH offers a local Built-In-Test (BIT) for immediate status recognition, providing initial information and operational feedback to the control system. The system's display presents maintenance details such as target type, firmware version, BIT status, communication details, supply voltage, error messages, contact hit sensor status, total hit count, and target holder position. This display aids in efficient troubleshooting, helping identify issues before the need for more extensive maintenance arises.
The LOMAH sensor system employs microphones to detect the supersonic shockwave of projectiles traveling at speeds of at least Mach 1.3 (roughly 440 m/s). Its sophisticated software processes this data to pinpoint the projectile's position.
Structured on a bar, the system features two delta arrays, each with four sensors. These arrays are adept at tracking any projectile. Once a sensor detects the concentric wave, it initiates a timing mechanism for recording time differences.
From these recordings, each sensor determines the direction vector towards the projectile. Using the known sensor spacing and computed angles, a triangle is formed that indicates the x-y-coordinates of the projectile's location. Uniquely, this patented system eliminates the need for an extra reference measurement, commonly required by other systems, to gauge the current speed of sound.
