A smart module that sits inside a pistol grip, counts every round fired without touching the mechanism, warns when ammunition runs low and reports the weapon's location over the cellular network.
The challenge
The client wanted to know how many rounds each pistol has fired, how many are left in the magazine and where the weapon is, without changing how it handles. The electronics work with a custom magazine and are integrated into the grip.
Everything had to fit in a 67 × 20 × 15 mm module, survive the shock and vibration of firing, and still give several antennas enough room to work.
What we built
Hardware
A tiny board built around a low-power ATSAM microcontroller, packing sensing, positioning and cellular connectivity into the grip.
Firmware
Firmware that counts rounds, warns the user and tracks the weapon, while keeping power use low.
Delivery
Everything needed to build the first prototypes and connect them to the client's system.
