Latest Patents
Joseph E Padgett, Jr. holds a patent for an "Integrated maritime portable acoustic scoring and simulator control and improvements." This invention comprises an improved portable maritime scoring and simulation system that utilizes three or more buoys deployed in a selected water area for maritime combat training. Each buoy is equipped with a global positioning system receiver, an RF radio system, an acoustic analysis system, and a microprocessor. The acoustic analysis system captures the acoustic signature of ordnance impacting the water with predetermined characteristics. The system includes an RF radio repeater linked to a system controller, which monitors and controls the elements of the system. When an acoustic signature is captured, the RF radio system transmits the time of capture along with the GPS location of the buoy to the system controller. The controller computes the location of impact when three or more buoys transmit a captured acoustic signature.
