System and method for shooter imagery and target shooting analytics

An electronic weapon training system comprising:

• a training weapon to emit a light beam to represent a shot fired from the training weapon;
• a target made of a light reflecting material or a photoluminescent material;
• and
• a computing device including a plurality of cameras including a first camera and a second camera, a processor, and a non-transitory storage medium including shot analytics logic, visual cue analytics logic, and training session control logic,
• wherein the shot analytics logic is configured to receive imagery associated with the target from the first camera, detect a plurality of shots from the training weapon during a current training session in which each shot of the plurality of shots corresponds to a light beam coming into contact with a front surface of the target, and compute metrics associated with each shot of the plurality of shots including a geographic location of each shot,
• wherein the visual cue analytics logic is further configured to concurrently receive imagery associated with a shooter of the training weapon captured by second camera and identify visual cues associated with positioning or movement of body parts by the shooter that may be used by the training session control logic to select of drills or exercised performed during the current training session or during a future training session.

A method for an electronic weapon training system, comprising:

• providing a computing device including one or more cameras;
• coupling an electronic target communicatively to the computing device;
• configuring the electronic target to (i) detect a plurality of shots provided from a training weapon in which each shot of the plurality of shots corresponds to a light beam coming into contact with a front surface of the electronic target, (ii) compute metrics associated with each shot of the plurality of shots, and (iii) transmit the metrics to the computing device;
• and
• configuring the computing device to concurrently process (i) the metrics to generate additional metrics associated with a training session during which the plurality of shots are provided from the training weapon and (ii) imagery of a shooter of the training weapon captured by a first camera of the one or more cameras to identify visual cues that may be used in selection of drills or exercised performed during the training session or during a future training session.
