Automated Fire Control Device
A device that causes a weapon to fire upon a target when the weapon is enabled by an operator, and when the weapon point of impact passes through a target or in a proximity thereto and when the target satisfies certain criteria as determined by one or more sensors/designations.
This invention represents a significant paradigm shift. Some prior art (large scale) weapons automatically acquire/track/prioritize/target/fire upon targets without operator intervention (i.e. Phalanx). Most prior art weapons, especially but not limited to small arms, are manually aimed, and fire immediately upon an input (trigger pull, or equivalent) from the operator. The current invention is a novel approach which triggers the release of a round, multi-round burst, rocket, missile, or other projectile(s) when enabled by the operator, and when the target passes through the point of impact (or desired/computed proximity thereto), relieving the operator of the split second judgment in timing the release and/or cessation of such fire. The results intended include a reduction in off-target rounds fired, increased hit rate, conservation of ammunition, more effective targeting for non-motion-stabilized weapons (in particular small/medium arms), and the introduction of a backup mode for nominally motion-stabilized weapons which may allow effective operations when primary stabilization systems fail or are overwhelmed by dynamics.
This invention is applicable (in embodiments of varying complexity) to weapons ranging from handheld pistols to the main (artillery) gun of a tank, a ship, or the cannon aboard an aircraft.
Real time aiming assembly
A real time aiming assembly includes a firearm that has a barrel and a grip. A firearm motion sensor is integrated into the firearm and the firearm motion sensor is calibrated to sense a firing axis of the barrel to determine the target of the firearm. A pair of glasses is wearable on a user's face and a glasses motion sensor is integrated into the pair of glasses. The glasses motion sensor is calibrated to sense a viewing axis of the pair of glasses to determine the line of the user. A display unit is integrated into the glasses and the display unit is in communication with the glasses motion sensor. The display unit projects a dot onto a respective one of the lenses to display precisely where the bullet fired from the firearm will strike.
Firearm Attachment Assembly and Method for Aiming The Firearm
Provided a firearm attachment assembly attached to a firearm for aiming the firearm using one's natural ability to point comprises a first attachment means coupled with a barrel housing of the firearm, including the plurality of slot arrangement, the first attachment means being placed parallel to the outer surface of the barrel housing at any user required points for permitting a user's supporting hand's index finger or thumb access to the first attachment means while firing, depending on the type of firearm used. The firearm attachment assembly further comprising a second attachment means attached vertically to a device of the firearm or integrally including a groove in line with the houssing of the barrel to allow the index finger or the remaining fingers of the supporting hand to align with the housing of the barrel and follow the bullet's trajectory depending on the type of the firearm utilized.

Firearm sighting device and system
Systems, devices and non-transitory mediums that may display (a) a list of weapons or ammunition, allowing the user to select a type of weapon or ammunition; (b) a reticle selection screen allowing a user to select the type of reticle to be displayed; (c) adjustment controls allowing the user to adjust the positioning of the display reticle; (d) adjustment controls allowing the user to mark a position of a firearm reticle; (d) a range-to-target screen allowing the user to directly input range information or to employ a range finder; (e) a keypad allowing a user to enter a height estimate for the target; a scaling control screen to allow the user to input relative height information of the target; (f) an environmental information page allowing the user to enter the environmental factors; or (g) an optimized aim point or adjusted reticle based on such information.
Apparatus and method for calculating aiming point information
The present invention relates to target acquisition and related devices, and more particularly to telescopic gunsights and associated equipment used to achieve shooting accuracy at, for example, close ranges, medium ranges and extreme ranges at stationary and moving targets.
