Variable range compensating device
A variable range compensating device, including at least some of a housing having an optical cavity defined at least partially within the housing, wherein the optical cavity extends from an incoming image aperture to an outgoing image aperture; and two or more reflective optical elements, wherein each reflective optical element is adjustably positioned within at least a portion of the optical cavity, and wherein adjustment of at least one of the reflective optical elements adjusts the reflective optical elements such that a target image entering the incoming image aperture is reflected by the reflective optical elements, so as to exit the outgoing image aperture at a determined offset.
WEAPON MOUNTABLE TACTICAL HEADS-UP DISPLAY SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Systems and methods for a weapon mountable tactical heads-up display (HUD) are provided. The HUD may include a 9 degrees of freedom (9DOF) sensor, a target library, and a target finder visualization. The target library may store respective ballistic information for each target of a plurality of targets. The respective ballistic information may include a target vector for each target of the plurality of targets. The target vector may be calculated based on data received from the 9DOF sensor. The target finder visualization may allow a shooter to locate a selected target of the plurality of targets. The target finder visualization may be based on the target vector.

Sighting system
A sighting system includes a sight body, a compensating mechanism, a converting unit, a processing unit and an output unit. The sight body is configured to aim an object. The compensating mechanism is disposed on the sight body and includes a base, an adjusting unit and an adjusting cap, wherein the adjusting cap is configured to rotate the adjusting unit with respect to the base. The converting unit is disposed in the compensating mechanism and is configured to obtain rotation information of the adjusting cap, convert the rotation information into an electrical signal and output the electrical signal. The processing unit is configured to receive the electrical signal for obtaining an instant adjusting value of the adjusting cap and to compare the instant adjusting value with a predetermined adjusting value. The output unit is electrically connected to the processing unit for presenting information for correction of bullet impact points.
Weapon platform operable in remote control and crew-served operating modes
Several examples of a dual remote control and crew-served weapon station are described herein that uniquely provide different operating modes, any one of which can be quickly and efficiently selected based on outputs from various system sensors (e.g., switches and buttons). For example, a first operating mode is a mode in which the weapon is remotely steered and fired (e.g., remote controlled). A second operating mode is a mode in which a weapon cradle is stabilized by a gimbal and the weapon is aimed and fired by a local operator (e.g., crew-served stabilized). A third operating mode is a mode in which the cradle is manually steered and the weapon is fired by the local operator (e.g., full manual).
FIREARMS INSTRUMENTING SYSTEM INTEGRATING DISTINCT MEASUREMENTS THAT INFLUENCES THE BALISTIC TRAJECTORY AND ITS CORRESPONDING DATA RETRIEVAL
A measurement and data integration system for the preparation of a firearm, to fire an accurate, precise shot, incorporating a tubular component containing two sensors to measure the speed of the projectile, further including a subsystem for the detection of the impact thereof and the measurement of the time of flight of the same, a subsystem for the measurement of the angles of inclination and cant; a calibration subsystem, a subsystem for communication with weather stations which consults and receives in real time the meteorological variables, as well as a microprocessor with a first operational programme that measures, requests, stores and manages all the aforementioned signals, and a second programme that includes an interface with the user.
COORDINATION OF PULSE REPETITION FREQUENCY (PRF) CODES IN LASER-GUIDED APPLICATIONS
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.
Devices and Methods of Rapidly Zeroing a Riflescope Using a Turret Display
A turret display device is used for rapidly zeroing a riflescope. The turrets on an improved riflescope provide a turret position signal. A display of the turret display device comprises turret display cross hairs displayed relative to a target icon. When the turret display device receives a turret position signal, turret display cross hairs move to show the relative movement as indicated by the received turret position signal. When a distance is processed by the turret display device, the turret display cross hairs move to show an aiming point relative to a target icon based on the current zero of the riflescope. The user zeroes the riflescope to any distance by turning the turrets until the turret display cross hairs are centered for the desired distance. In some embodiments the turret display device is integrated into a hand held rangefinder, smart phone, or riflescope. A riflescope having turrets which each provide a turret position signal.
