Patent ID: 8783575

Claim:
A wireless detection system for use in a military training environment, the system comprising: two or more laser detector modules each including: a sensor configured to detect a laser signal, a decoder configured to extract event data from the laser signal, and a network adapter configured to transmit the event data from the decoder over a wireless personal area network (WPAN) and to receive signals over the WPAN; a control module configured to: form the WPAN, act as the network coordinator for the WPAN, associate devices including the two or more laser detector modules with the WPAN, receive the event data transmitted from the laser detector modules over the WPAN, transmit signals to the devices associated with the WPAN, and process the event data; a memory coupled with the control module and configured to store the processed event data; and a status indicator configured to provide status information to a human operator, wherein the control module and the two or more laser detector modules are adapted to be attached to a single user simultaneously and to operate independently from each other, and wherein the control module limits access to the WPAN to the devices attached to the single user.
