LOMAH target system

The LOMAH target system uses advanced precision scoring technology to automatically detect, calculate, and display the exact location of hits and near misses on the target silhouette during live-fire training. As shots are fired, the system instantly determines projectile impact positions and relays the information to the connected control system, whether accessed through a desktop workstation, handheld controller, or shooter monitor.

Shot results are displayed in real time, providing immediate feedback for instructors and shooters during marksmanship training. The LOMAH system continuously calculates and updates critical shooting metrics, including the mean point of impact and extreme dispersion, enabling precise analysis of shooting consistency, grouping, and shot placement.

To support accurate performance evaluation, hit and miss locations are displayed both graphically and in Cartesian coordinates relative to the target silhouette. This allows users to precisely evaluate impact positions, identify shooting deviations, and make immediate corrections without interrupting the training session.

By automating shot analysis, the LOMAH target system eliminates the need for frequent manual target inspections and reduces inaccuracies associated with traditional scoring methods. The system also minimizes data loss caused by overlapping rounds, including during automatic fire, ensuring accurate hit registration and reliable performance evaluation even in high-intensity military and law enforcement training environments.

Integrated into a LOMAH range and connected through a range control system, the technology significantly improves training efficiency by reducing downtime, accelerating feedback cycles, and supporting more consistent marksmanship development.

The LOMAH target system uses advanced acoustic sensing technology to precisely detect and calculate the location of projectile impacts and near misses during live-fire training. The system operates by detecting the supersonic shockwave generated by projectiles traveling at speeds of at least Mach 1.3 (approximately 440 m/s), making it highly effective for military and law enforcement marksmanship applications using supersonic ammunition.

At the core of the LOMAH system are microphone-based sensor arrays mounted on a dedicated sensor bar. The system is structured around two delta arrays, each containing four sensors positioned to accurately track incoming projectiles. When a projectile passes through the detection zone, the microphones register the concentric shockwave and begin recording extremely precise timing differences between sensor detections.

Using sophisticated software algorithms, the LOMAH target system calculates the projectile’s trajectory and determines the exact x-y coordinates of the shot relative to the target silhouette. Each sensor measures the direction vector toward the projectile, and by combining known sensor spacing with measured angles, the system triangulates the projectile’s location with high accuracy.

Unlike many conventional scoring systems, the patented LOMAH technology does not require an additional reference measurement to determine the current speed of sound. This allows the system to maintain reliable and precise shot calculation while simplifying setup and improving operational efficiency on the range.

Integrated into a LOMAH range and connected to a range control system, shot locations are displayed instantly to instructors and shooters, enabling immediate performance feedback, faster shot correction, and more effective marksmanship training without manual target inspection.

Yes, the LOMAH target system is designed for seamless integration into both new and existing shooting range infrastructures. The system can be incorporated into military and law enforcement training environments without requiring a complete redesign of the range, making it an efficient solution for upgrading live-fire training capabilities.

The LOMAH system integrates with modern range control systems and existing targetry, including infantry and armor target silhouettes, enabling centralized performance monitoring and automated shot evaluation. This interoperability allows instructors and range operators to combine LOMAH scoring technology with existing target mechanisms while improving training efficiency and reducing manual scoring requirements.

Integrated within a LOMAH range, the system provides real-time performance feedback, accurate shot registration, and automated marksmanship analysis while supporting scalable range modernization.

The LOMAH target system is designed to support a broad range of military and law enforcement training applications where accurate shot analysis and immediate feedback are essential. It is commonly used for marksmanship training, weapon zeroing, qualification and requalification exercises, sniper training, tactical firearms training, and automatic fire evaluation.

By providing precise hit and near-miss detection, the LOMAH system enables instructors and shooters to evaluate shot placement instantly and make immediate corrections during live-fire training. This significantly improves shooting consistency, reaction under pressure, and overall marksmanship development.

The system is particularly effective for high-volume training environments, where reducing downtime and minimizing manual target inspection are critical for maintaining training efficiency. Integrated into a LOMAH range, it supports more realistic, data-driven training scenarios while conserving time and resources.

The LOMAH target system is designed to deliver highly accurate shot registration by calculating the precise location of projectile impacts and near misses relative to the target silhouette. Using advanced acoustic sensing technology and sophisticated software algorithms, the system determines exact projectile coordinates in real time, providing immediate and reliable performance feedback.

Unlike traditional scoring systems that rely on manual inspection, the LOMAH system continuously evaluates shot placement with high repeatability, including during rapid or automatic fire where overlapping impacts may otherwise reduce scoring accuracy. This level of precision makes the system highly effective for marksmanship evaluation, weapon zeroing, and advanced military training applications where consistent performance measurement is critical.

By instantly displaying results through the range control system, the LOMAH target system enables faster shot correction, more detailed performance analysis, and improved training outcomes.

The LOMAH target system is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance requirements, helping reduce downtime in demanding military and law enforcement training environments. Its integrated Built-In-Test (BIT) capability continuously monitors system health and provides real-time operational feedback to the control system, enabling faster diagnostics and efficient troubleshooting.

The system display provides detailed maintenance information, including firmware version, communication status, supply voltage, contact hit sensor status, total hit count, target holder position, and active error messages. This allows operators and technicians to identify potential issues early, often before extensive maintenance is required.

By combining automated diagnostics with durable system design, the LOMAH system supports long-term operational readiness while minimizing the time and effort traditionally associated with maintaining live-fire scoring systems.
