Tactical targeting and wildlife mitigation inflation device and methods of use

A method for using an inflation device in a tactical training setting, the inflation device comprising:

• a base comprising a control device, said base having a top surface containing an aperture, said control device comprising a receiver;
• a motor having a shaft mounted within said base, said motor controlled by said control device, said motor arranged to rotate at a speed of at least 8200 RPM;
• an inflation member fixedly secured to said base, circumscribing said aperture, and arranged for inflation;
• a propeller fixedly secured to said motor shaft and arranged to produce an upward thrust to inflate said inflation member;
• at least one wireless motion sensor in communication with said receiver arranged to detect motion and transmit a signal to said receiver initiate inflation of said inflation member;
• and
• a random time generator in communication with said control device, said random time generator programmed to activate when movement is detected by said wireless motion sensors, wherein said random time generator generates a time delay from the detection of movement by said motion sensors to initiate inflation of said inflation member, and/or wherein said random number generator controls the time said inflation member remains inflated, and/or wherein said random number generator controls the reactivation of inflation of the inflation member after the initial trigger of the motion sensors, wherein several of said inflation devices are placed in random areas of a tactical training course and a user walks through the course for the purpose of training, the method comprising the steps of:
• (a) detecting movement of user moving through the training course by a set of said plurality of motion sensors;
• (b) transmitting radio frequency (RF) signals from said plurality of motion sensors to said receiver of said control devices operating under the same frequency as the first set of plurality of motion sensors;
• (c) activating said motor, said propeller, said random time generator, and said random noise generator of said inflation device;
• (d) inflating of said inflation member of any one or all of said inflation devices activated;
• (e) user detecting the inflating inflation member;
• (f) user shooting at the inflating inflation member;
• (g) repeating of steps a-f as user continues moving through the training course to the end of the course.

An inflation device comprising:

• a base comprising a control device, said base having a top surface containing an aperture, said control device comprising a receiver;
• a motor having a shaft mounted within said base, said motor controlled by said control device, said motor arranged to rotate at a speed of at least 8200 RPM;
• an inflation member fixedly secured to said base, circumscribing said aperture, and arranged for inflation;
• a propeller fixedly secured to said motor shaft and arranged to produce an upward thrust to inflate said inflation member;
• at least one wireless motion sensor in communication with said receiver arranged to detect motion and transmit a signal to said receiver initiate inflation of said inflation member;
• a short-range wireless transceiver arranged to communicate with said at least one wireless motion sensor;
• a random time generator in communication with said control device, said random time generator programmed to activate when movement is detected by said wireless motion sensors, wherein said random time generator generates a time delay from the detection of movement by said motion sensors to initiate inflation of said inflation member, and/or wherein said random number generator controls the time said inflation member remains inflated, and/or wherein said random number generator controls the reactivation of inflation of the inflation member after the initial trigger of the motion sensors;
• and,
• at least one additional inflation device, said at least one additional inflation device arranged to communicate via said short-range wireless transceiver with said inflation device.
