Abstract
A pyrotechnic misfire detection system includes one or more sensors that may acquire sensor data indicative of a pyrotechnic ignition event at one or more launch devices and a controller. The controller may receive the sensor data from the one or more sensors, determine whether the sensor data corresponds to pyrotechnic launch instructions based on the sensor data, and determine that the one or more launch devices has misfired in response to the sensor data not corresponding to the pyrotechnic launch instructions.
Claims20
A pyrotechnic misfire detection system, comprising;
- one or more sensors configured to acquire sensor data indicative of a pyrotechnic ignition event at one or more launch devices;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- receive the sensor data from the one or more sensors;
- determine whether the sensor data corresponds to pyrotechnic launch instructions;
- and
- determine that the one or more launch devices has misfired based on the sensor data not corresponding to the pyrotechnic launch instructions.
A pyrotechnic misfire detection method comprising:
- receiving, at a pyrotechnic launch controller, pyrotechnic launch instructions;
- initiating, via the pyrotechnic launch controller, a pyrotechnic display based on the pyrotechnic launch instructions;
- receiving, via the pyrotechnic launch controller, sensor data indicative of a pyrotechnic misfire;
- and
- generating, via the pyrotechnic launch controller, a notification of the misfire.
A pyrotechnic misfire detection system, comprising;
- one or more launch devices, comprising:
- at least one launch tube;
- and
- ignition circuitry configured to launch a pyrotechnic from the at least one launch tube based on pyrotechnic launch instructions;
- one or more sensors configured to acquire sensor data at the one or more launch devices;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- transmit the pyrotechnic launch instructions to the one or more launch devices;
- receive the sensor data from the one or more sensors;
- and
- determine that the one or more launch devices has misfired based on the sensor data.
