The barrel fires munitions therefrom. The computational logic, identifies targets within range of an area of sighting of the human transported weapon as available target. The selection logic determines a selected target from the available targets, responsive to computational logic. The targeting location logic determines a target location of the selected target at a firing time. The positioning logic, positions the aim of the human transported weapon, responsive to computational logic, so that the munitions will strike the selected target when fired at the firing time. The trigger activation logic provides a trigger signal to activate firing of the munitions at the firing time. In one embodiment, the trigger signal is responsive to a user input. In one embodiment, there are a plurality of types of said targets, such as comprised of human, non-human, animal, friend, and foe. The selection logic identifies one said type of target as a selected type, and, one of the available targets of the selected type is chosen to be the selected target.

A method for reducing or eliminating “Missile Tip-off Effect” (MTE) of a missile ejected from a canister. The method includes: receiving data of desired canister state in response to a launch command. The method further include perform repeatedly until an MTE control criterion is met: (a) receiving, from a sensor associated with the canister, data of measured canister state, and (b) processing the data of the measured canister state and desired canister state, for outputting data indicative of a command to an actuator associated with the canister for modifying at least the angular position of the canister, thereby reducing or eliminating the (MTE) effect.

A turret system for allowing remote aiming and/or discharging of a hand-held weapon includes a base assembly and a rotatable frame, carried by the base assembly. The rotatable frame is capable of rotating relative to the base assembly about a vertical axis. A carrying ring is carried by the base assembly, the carrying ring capable of rotating relative to the base assembly about a horizontal axis. Attachment structure is associated with the carrying ring, the attachment structure operable to allow attachment of a hand-held weapon to the carrying ring to thereby allow the carrying ring to alter a position of the hand-held weapon relative to the base assembly.

The present disclosure incorporates a spinning rotor/mass, a single or multiple gimballed points on one gimballed axis and to the focus the power of precession to “physically” provide resistance against the movements of the device it is attached to. That is why this device is called a Gimballed Precession Stabilization System. A Gimballed Precession Motor(s) of the present disclosure can be placed in a single or in multiple positions on a Firearm to achieve resistance to an angular change. A Gimballed Precession Motor(s) may be used in one or more positions depending on the desired angular constraint. The motor can be self-contained and can be designed to rotate at a high speed and allow the pivoting of the device on its mounting Gimbal Pivot Axis.
