WOM – Weapon Orientation Module

The WOM weapon orientation module provides a level of performance previously unseen in the world of miniature 3DOF orientation systems. WOM employs the use of three axes each of gyroscopes, accelerometers, and magnetometers to track both slow and fast movements of weapons in real-time. It houses propriety calibration techniques for soft- and hard-iron interference that are specific to the different weapon classes on which it can be used. Calibrations are able to be performed quickly and easily by minimally trained individuals without requiring any precise movements.

In operation WOM has embedded intelligence that allows it to assess each operational situation and determine the best means of providing accurate orientation output. When operating in a poor magnetic environment, WOM identifies this and adjusts its algorithms accordingly to maintain accuracy even in the presence of long term magnetic disturbances. When in a static position, WOM identifies this and adjusts its operation to both maintain accuracy and minimize power consumption at the same time.

Additionally, WOM has weapon specific algorithms that tweak its method of operation specific to the weapon on which it is mounted. WOM has been tested on mounted to and tested on each of its supported weapons.
