Orlando, FL (1 Dec 2019) – Orlando-based Serious Simulations has innovated another industry first – a consolidated electrical power platform for small arms. The U.S. patent office recognized the innovative hardware as a novel approach for consolidating power provision, power management, and power protection on the ever growing number of electronic devices on military, law enforcement, and civilian firearms.
“We undertook the challenge of unifying and rationalizing power provision on small arms because we were experimenting with multiple electronics on weapons for use in VR and AR training,” said Chris Chambers, CEO of Serious Simulations. “Without our approach, we were left with a variety of disparate batteries, whose weights were unevenly distributed about the weapon. Our approach consolidates the battery needs into a compact and smart package that is easily affixed to standard weapons, and whose weight does not adversely affect the weight and balance of the underlying weapon.”
The hardware is a rechargeable and hot-swappable battery unit in the shape and function of a standard adjustable buttstock unit for a weapon. For all actions by the user, the power buttstock is indiscernible from the weapons’ issued butt stock. This technology is broadly applicable to all weapons with multiple electronic devices mounted on them such as laser range finder, night vision devices, chemical and biological detectors, simulation sensors, digital scopes, laser designators and more.
Branded as the PowerButtTM for the M4/AR15 Carbine this recent U.S. patent office action recognizes that Serious Simulations continues to provide unique and innovative solutions to the VR and AR training markets, as well as solving operational needs of its customers.
