Impressed with the Robustness

After conducting a lot of research in this area we identified Battlefield Sports as a suitable provider for this unique [laser tag] equipment. After deploying it in weather extremes through the South West of Queensland, we were and still are impressed with the robustness and ease of use of the taggers. When we purchased the SATR equipment we have since found the continual development and upgrades to the product, have actually grown with us.

Technology That Works For You

With this patented technology, you get real-time hit feedback via light effects (through the red dot scope) and sound effects (through voice feedback).

When you shoot an opponent, the computer inside the laser tag gun issues a sound effect. This sound effect comes in 24 sound schemes. For example, hit feedback indicates what is happening in the game, so the players intuitively know what is happening in the scenario. The sound effects change depending on the gaming theme. 


 For a family friendly sound effect, you'll hear = “tagged.” When someone takes their opposition's last hit point, they'll hear “de-activated.” If they have no hit points left, they will hear “de-activate already.”


For an older audience, you can set it so that if a player shoots another who is above half health, they'll hear "hit." If their opposition is below half health, they'll hear "wound." And when someone takes their opposition's last hit point, they'll hear "kill." Or if they have no hit points, they will hear "already dead."


These SFX voice-overs can be customized.

 This system gives the gamer instant gratification because they know immediately if they have gotten an opponent.

This is an emotionally engaging, authentic experience. Gamers who want to experience something like watching a heart-pounding blockbuster movie now have the opportunity to be an action hero or hero.


 

Cool SFX

I like the different types of gaming gun sounds on the equipment.

Patent Approved for our Digital Technology 

The patent application was originally filed in Australia in December 2006.

The International filing date, December 20, 2006, is deemed the filing date to determine the term of the US application.

patented technology

There was a soft launch in Australia in November 2008.

This innovative product was officially launched in London in April 2009.

Our patented gaming guns use a lensed infrared light system. Our patent application was lodged with the US Patent Office on June 18, 2009.

Digital Radio Connectivity - Peer-to-Peer

Our new radio frequency hardware and our upgraded gun software. Currently, our research and development team is working on an amplitude-modulated transmitter and an associated regenerative receiver a radio band. This is ideal for short-range communication–up to 330ft (100m) in ideal conditions. If you can see them, you can shoot them!

Of course, gamers will not make it easy for you to tag them because this is high-tech hide-and-seek! Because our application has a high data rate, we use a PIC microcontroller and have had to upgrade our assembler software to achieve secure and reliable transmissions.SATR technology badge

World's First - Hit-feedback in any Terrain

Now you KNOW you've got 'em. Our patented system lets you know when you've been hit and when you've got the other guy. In our previous generation of technology, SATR2, you had 13 languages you could hear SFX in, so the shooter's gaming gun got real-time hit feedback. The gamer's display is automatically updated in real time. Gamers can now get k/d ratios, accuracy percentages, and much more.

  • Eye Safety
  • Optik Sensor
  • Weather resistance
  • Live-Action Game Packs

Robust and Realistic

It is totally safe and superb for the difficult market of 12-17 year olds and will give substantial benefit to us for our visitors' fun. It's the whole safety thing for me and the whole family involvement. We have looked at paintball several times but have discounted it because of the danger factor. Also having looked at all the outdoor laser systems available we concluded that the Battlefield Sports system was the best. The gaming guns are robust and realistic with a range to suit all ages and sizes and we are totally impressed with the service and back-up given by the company.
Rick, North Devon, UK.

Digital Small Arms Transmitter Receiver System

SATR™ system, Battlefield Sports now supports indoor live gaming even better. SATR has a software-configured indoor mode that radically reduces infrared ricochets. The ability of SATR to perform global digital radio-controlled start, stop, pause, and resume means SATR gives the CO additional control to speed up throughput. In other words, you can reach more people through their gamers quickly. Higher throughput means higher profits for you.

Indoor gamers love SATR's key feature in any environment: real-time hit feedback via the shooter's gun with real-time on-gun statistics. Statistics include hits made, kills made, and accuracy percentage.

Any well-developed and successful game system is carefully balanced so that no one tactic or side has a significant advantage or disadvantage overall. Gamers can be very inventive in finding winning tactics or strategies. It has been only after a large number of playtests entertaining a variety of players with continuous refinement of the game rules and tools that true game balance has been achieved.

This is the live gaming phenomenon. All our laser tag guns are built tough, and they have been sold all over the world. 

Great Work

This is an excellent product, keep up the great work.

Patented Technology

When a player tags an opponent, their gaming gun instantly says so. The opposition’s gun issues a near-miss, wound, or dead sound effect.

Further, the global radio system enables improved gamer throughput due to its global start, stop, pause, and resume functionality.

The crux of the new technology and the core of the patent application is its real-time hit feedback system.

This new digital SATR system is a live-action gaming juggernaut. Its instant gratification and real-time hit feedback give gamers an adrenaline pump.

Key Battlefield Sports' Patent Points *

A third party asked the Patents Office to re-examine our patent, citing some so-called "prior art". The Patents Office examined these claims and dismissed them - upholding and strengthening our patent.  These dot points need to be taken as a whole as it is the dependencies that define the invention as much as its individual components.

  1. A combat simulation system includes an aimed infrared emitter that sends an infrared signal to a target device and a radio transmitter that transmits back to the “shooting” device indicating a kill, wound or dead already. In other words — our world-famous hit-feedback system.
  2. The shooting device issues a sound effect e.g. “kill” or “wound” or “dead already” when it receives the radio signal. This gives gamers an immediate adrenaline pump, with special effects so your players are thrilled out of their brains. Currently has 21 in-game languages (and you can customize your own) allowing massive immersion in your live gaming scenarios. (Gamer statistics are also tracked.) As well as the SFX instant hit-feedback the system has light effect feedback via the scope.
  3. Has at least one sensor on the body or firearm-like device (gaming gun) of the target. Currently, the system emulates more than 375 simulations (approx 200 weapons) from ray guns to P90 to sniper rifles!
  4. The laser tag gun has a lens to focus the infrared beam so it is relatively narrow.
  5. The target receiver filters out infrared radiation, not from a shooting gun.  In other words, this means we have error detection to make sure no spurious signals count as a hit. (You can also turn friendly fire on or off.)
  6. We can adjust the range such as indoor, short, medium or long.
  7. A “Third Signal” can be used to control the apparatus or in other words the gaming guns. This really relates to controlling the gaming guns by a master controller.
  8. The system will have multiple channels. In other words, this is what we call our battle groups. That is the infrared and radio system can be configured to operate in separate groups without cross-fire. Currently, we have battle groups from 1 through to 8.  
  9. A gun ID code in the shooting packet is used in the feedback to the shooter confirming a hit, kill or dead already by the digital radio system. (Digital radio means increased profits with instant start/pause/resume for an unlimited number of gamers — from 2 to 8,000 gamers — with many times higher throughput.
  10. The system is hubless, meaning we use peer-to-peer hit feedback.
  11. Target gaming gun accepts a hit and can become temporarily inoperable, meaning a gamer cannot shoot for a short period of time, like a second in standard mode.
  12. Has an electrical triggering mechanism, e.g. the trigger switch.
  13. The invention is not limited to military style, can be used for science fiction-style games or other themes, as well.
  14. The controller can control one or more apparatuses, e.g. gaming guns and other devices such as mines or other battle boxes.

Leadership in Real-Time Peer-to-Peer Live-Action Gaming Innovation

SATR3 motherboard

Four Layered Board: "Quad-Core"

Battlefield Sports offers another live-action gaming innovation, the Quad-Core motherboard. 

This four layered board cements Battlefield Sports' position as the technology leader in the peer-to-peer laser tag equipment category. 

The SATR PCB combines industry-leading functionality with doubling layers on its motherboard. The additional layers in this PCB design are internal power planes, which provide improved reliability. 

 The base material is FR4. Its bow and twist are less than 0.7%. The R&D team also improved the RF routing on the main PCB and added more bias to the ground plane. 

 The Quad-Core is standard in all laser tag products.

 

Reliability

This is reliable equipment with good servicing that will last a very long time. [I like the] reliability, look, and the ease of maintenance.
Darren, England

 

Flexible Technology to Suit You

The enabling technology was made possible through a technological breakthrough enabling an extended range of infrared units in all playing conditions in a playable manner. Extensive testing was carried out to achieve optimal levels of range and firepower for each gaming gun/sensor to provide the most satisfying gaming experience in a commercial environment.

Friendly-Fire Control

The computer inside the gaming guns can identify friends or foes; in other words, you can turn on or off friendly fire. While most Battlefield Operators run events with two teams, e.g., Team Alpha versus Team Bravo, you can have up to seven teams within one battle.  

Octo-Zone Control

You can play up to eight separate battle groups without crossfire. This is great for busy venues. Many busy paintball fields, for example, have a series of fields, but they are near one another. 

With our digital laser tag system (SATR3), you can have up to 8 different battle groups (each with its team, see above) without crossfire. 

Live-Action Gaming

The system has built-in “themes”. 

Because there are so many options, themes group or silo the emulations into a category. 

You can switch between the themes via a simple re-boot and re-set of the units. 

The system can emulate 375 emulations.

Most emulations have authentic sound effects. 

The system also has family-friendly laser tag phaser settings. 

It is also used for fantasy game-play to emulate spells and shields.

Reliable

The equipment is really reliable.
Dereck, UK

Master Controller

A simple-to-use handheld device to run all your operations. No need for complicated computer systems. More, any unit can be configured to act as a Master Controller—built-in redundancy. 

Battery Meter

On boot-up, the laser tag gun will show on its display that the unit’s battery is charged.

Gamer’s Display

Not only does the display show the gamer, in real-time, his/her number of hits (or tags) and the number of kills (or De-activations) and their accuracy %. It also shows the timer count-down so they know how long they have in this game. Battle Box: This unit reduces your staff overhead, as gamers can respawn (re-activate) at their base. Battle boxes can also be set to know which team it will respawn. 

The box can also act as an Ammo Dump or a Repeater Station (to extend the battlefield terrain). No individual's score/ranking — team-focused on objectives + statistics in real-time

No Lasers!

The core technology used by Battlefield Sports™ is infrared light. Infrared is on the safe side of the visible spectrum.  

You can benefit from our experience. 

Our team has operated our commercial operations (indoor, outdoor, and mobile) for the last 25 years. This has led to Battlefield Sports developing the equipment and refining the live-action game and business concepts.

Battlefield Sports' primary strength is our team. We have a unique combination of professional game developers and business development professionals.

Flexibility

I like the this laser tag, it is highly reliable. I also like the flexibility of equipment. Keep up the good work.
Joshua, NSW Australia
