The system and method of weapon on-board range and velocity tracking using a synchronized clock and a pulse beacon on a fire control system, or the like, coupled with an on-board rear-facing detector and processor. A round or a UAS may use this system to accurately estimate range with respect to the fire control system, over time, and the round's or UAS's velocity at various times along its flight path. The system provides for smaller miss distances, and the like.

A system can include an optical device and an accessory device. The optical device can include a housing, an objective lens at a first end of the housing and supported by the housing, an ocular lens at a second end of the housing and supported by the housing, and an optical path defined from the objective lens through the housing to the ocular lens, and a display device supported by the housing proximate the second end of the housing. The display device can include a display, hardware logic circuitry to process display data and to display the display data on the display, an input port, and a display holder to position the display in the optical path in the presence of a signal from the accessory device and to position the display out of the optical path in the absence of a signal from the accessory device.

Man portable weapons include integrated electronics that that may be integrated into any suitable location within the envelope of the weapon such as the buttstock. The electronics may be integrated within the main components of any suitable man portable weapon in a non-intrusive way as to have no effect on the firing mechanism of the small arm when it is fully assembled.

A method of targeting, which involves capturing a first video of a scene about a potential targeting coordinate by a first video sensor on a first aircraft; transmitting the first video and associated potential targeting coordinate by the first aircraft; receiving the first video on a first display in communication with a processor, the processor also receiving the potential targeting coordinate; selecting the potential targeting coordinate to be an actual targeting coordinate for a second aircraft in response to viewing the first video on the first display; and guiding a second aircraft toward the actual targeting coordinate; where positive identification of a target corresponding to the actual targeting coordinate is maintained from selection of the actual targeting coordinate.

A display apparatus for an emergency service member for displaying information content of different information types from a guidance system is proposed. The display apparatus comprises a display, carriable by the emergency service member, having a plurality of visually distinguishable segments, with each of which at least one of the information types is associated, each segment being configured to visually output a current information content of the information type associated with the segment. Further, the display apparatus comprises an actuating unit, couplable to the guidance system, for actuating the display.

The projectile-launcher operation monitoring device includes at least one displacement-sensor and a processor coupled with the displacement-sensor. The displacement-sensor acquires measurements relating to the displacement of the projectile-launcher and to produce a sampled time signal of values relating to the displacement. The processor receives from the displacement-sensor the sampled time signal to determine projectile-launcher operation parameters therefrom, by employing a deep-learning system. The deep-learning system includes an encoder receiving sample-frames from the sampled time signal producing codes relating to the sample-frames. Each of the codes is a vector of values relating to the probabilities of features in the received sample-frames.

The invention relates to a disintegrating bullet that breaks apart at set distances in order to better engage targets such as unmanned aerial systems.

The system and method of weapon on-board range and velocity tracking using a synchronized clock and a pulse beacon on a fire control system, or the like, coupled with an on-board rear-facing detector and processor. A round or a UAS may use this system to accurately estimate range with respect to the fire control system, over time, and the round's or UAS's velocity at various times along its flight path. The system provides for smaller miss distances, and the like.
