Abstract

A system for providing discharge monitoring of a firearm includes an event detection module and a signal processing module. The event detection module can have at least one sensor that senses an acceleration and generates an acceleration signal. The signal processing module receives the acceleration signal. The signal processing module can be configured to determine whether the acceleration signal is a discharge event and generate an event detection signal based on the determination. The signal processing module can further be configured to maintain a shot count of the firearm based on the determination that the event detection signal is a discharge event.
