Systems, devices, and methods for determining a predicted impact point of a selected weapon and associated round based on stored ballistic information, provided elevation data, provided azimuth data, and provided position data.

A method includes removably coupling a projectile interface of a dongle to a dongle interface of a projectile. The method also includes loading a dongle code from the dongle onto the projectile. The dongle code identifies a pulse repetition frequency (PRF) code to be recognized by the projectile. The dongle code may be unique to an operator of the projectile. The method may further include, prior to loading the dongle code onto the projectile, loading an operator code onto the projectile, where the dongle code is loaded onto the projectile in response to the projectile authorizing the operator code. There may be a limited number of uses of the dongle code with different projectiles, and/or there may be a limited amount of time for using the dongle code. A companion electronic device may be used to authenticate the dongle.

An autonomous weapon system for improved guidance of a projectile for homing a target includes a guided projectile including at least one sensor and a carrier projectile and at least one guidance and reconnaissance unit including a transmitter for communication via light. The system uses emitted light for both positioning and communication of target coordinates which provides an accurate and cost effective system for combatting point and surface targets by indirect fire.

The invention relates to a system to increase the effectiveness of direct fire weapon systems in targeting and destroying a target utilizing the military's existing direct fire weapon systems. The invention consists of a network which communicates with the devices of the invention and that are capable of directing the fire to a specific location.

Systems and methods for deploying smart munitions may provide targeting metadata generated by surveillance networks to munitions deployment and guidance systems for smart munitions. Targeting metadata may be received by a conduit system and automatically processed to generate guidance and deployment data actionable by a munitions deployment platform.

An automated weapon system [preferably a human transported weapon] is comprised of a barrel, a targeting subsystem, a computational subsystem, a positioning subsystem, and, a firing subsystem. The barrel is utilized for propelling a fired munitions as aimed towards an area of sighting. The targeting subsystem identifies a chosen target in the area of sighting. The computational subsystem, responsive to the targeting subsystem, determines where the chosen target is and where the barrel needs to be aimed so that the munitions will strike the chosen target. The positioning subsystem adjusts the aim of the munitions responsive to the computational subsystem. The firing subsystem, fires the munitions at the chosen target responsive to the positioning subsystem. In one embodiment, the system is further comprised of an additional linked automated weapon having a separate barrel, separate munitions, a separate positioning subsystem, and a separate firing subsystem. The computational subsystem determines the positioning of the separate barrel to shoot the separate munitions to strike the chosen target. The additional linked automated weapon can be mounted on a stationary mount or mounted on a movable mount.
