A system for providing discharge monitoring of a firearm includes a first sensor, a second sensor and an event detection module. The first sensor is disposed on the firearm that senses a first acceleration along a first axis and sends a first input signal. The second sensor is disposed on the firearm that senses a second environmental variable and sends a second input signal. The event detection module receives the first input signal and compares the first acceleration to an acceleration threshold indicative of a shot; receives the second input signal and compares the second input signal to a second threshold indicative of a shot; determines whether a discharge has occurred based on both the first signal satisfying the acceleration threshold and the second input signal satisfying the second threshold; and generates an event detection signal based on the determination.

A system and method for determining an orientation of a firearm includes a first position sensor, a second position sensor and a transmitter. The first position sensor can be disposed at a first location on the firearm. The second position sensor can be disposed at a second location on the firearm. The first and second locations can be distinct and define a line parallel to an axis of a barrel of the firearm. The transmitter can be configured to communicate a signal. The first and second position sensors receive the signal from the transmitter and determine one of an orientation and a heading of the firearm based on the signal.
