Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting a position of a breech of a weapon using a breech position detector. The breech position detector includes one or more electrical leads configured to make physical contact with the weapon, a DC detector configured to detect a DC signal at one of the one or more electrical leads, a RF detector configured to detect a RF signal at one of the one or more electrical leads, and a controller. The controller is configured to perform operations including receiving the DC signal from the DC detector, receiving the RF signal from the RF detector, and determining the position of the breech based on one or both of the DC signal and the RF signal. The operations may also include comparing a magnitude of the DC signal to a DC threshold and comparing a magnitude of the RF signal to a RF threshold.
