Apparatus and methods including miniaturization of a single focal plane collimated light-based aiming sights and their variants. One technical effect includes a user's ability to develop an effective, accurate and fast sight picture using red-dot/reticle type sights while preserving the superior accuracy of these technologies. One new result is the reduction of the housing size, and overall footprint of the structural elements of these sights. In at least on embodiment, using LEDs, the power requirement for the aiming device is significantly lowered which means that the volume and weight of the aiming device is reduced. Accordingly, this enables positioning of the now miniaturized sight at the top of a pistol, firearm or apparatus. In at least one embodiment an aiming device is located with a firearm's front sight. In at least one embodiment, an aiming sight's structure, methods of fabrication, assembly, use includes kitting of the sights.

An example rifle scope includes a plurality of light emitting devices for sending illuminations directed to a distal end of the rifle scope. A plurality of optical detectors detects reflected light received from the distal end of the rifle scope. Each of the optical detectors produces data regarding the reflected light each optical detector observed. A processor device receives the data on the reflected light from the optical detectors and adjusting a position of a field lens so an eyepoint projected in a target space of the rifle scope coincides with an optical axis of the rifle scope removing parallax errors due to misalignment.

A method for initiating a responsive action based on an operational status event of a firearm is provided. The method can include receiving, by an event detection module, acceleration and rotation input signals from an inertial measurement unit configured on the firearm. An occurrence of an operational status event based on the acceleration and rotation input signals are identified by the event detection module. A tipping signal is generated by the event detection module based on the identified operational status event. The tipping signal is received at a responsive infrastructure. The responsive infrastructure performs a responsive action based on the tipping signal.

A controller for a counter measure system against unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) includes a display device and a processor configured to receive target position data of a target UAV, effector position data of at least one counter measure effector, and effector orientation data of the at least one counter measure effector relative to geographic cardinal directions. The processor is also configured to determine a field of effect of the at least one counter measure effector on the basis of the effector position data and the effector orientation data. The field of effect is indicative of an area covered by electromagnetic radiation emitted, in use, by the at least one counter measure effector. The processor is further configured to generate a display signal for displaying, on the display device, the position of the target UAV with respect to the field of effect of the at least one counter measure effector.
