System for synthetic firearms training

A system for synthetic training of a trainee's firearms skills, comprising:

• database including a stimulus data structure and a performance data structure, the stimulus data structure including a plurality of training scenarios, each training scenario including a sequence of stimuli, the sequence of stimuli for the trainee to sight, recognize, track, and engage, the stimuli including identifying target or non-target markings for the trainee to recognize;
• a display for the presentation of the sequence of stimuli;
• and
• a data processor generating the presentation of the sequence of stimuli on the display in accordance with the stimulus data structure and providing performance reporting in accordance with the performance data structure;
• a firearm including a transmitter for non-ballistic target engagement of the sequence of stimuli;
• and
• at least one sensor, the at least one sensor and the data processor providing trainee performance data for the performance data structure;
• and
• wherein:
• the stimulus data structure includes for each stimulus:
• stimulus type, delay period, movement pattern, and speed;
• and
• the performance data structure includes for each stimulus and each trainee:
• sight time, tracking accuracy, target or non-target recognition, and engagement accuracy.
