Remote weapon control device and method for targeting and shooting multiple objects
A remote weapon control device for controlling a weapon having a photographing device is provided. The remote weapon control device includes: a communication interface configured to receive an image captured by the photographing device; an object extractor configured to extract objects from the image; a target extractor configured to extract targets from the objects; a shooting order determinator configured to determine an order of the targets for shooting; and a control signal generator configured to generate a shooting control signal for controlling the weapon to shoot the targets in the determined order.
Remotely operable weapon mount
A weapon mount for controlling targeting of a weapon includes a base, an arm that extends from the base, and an attachment component that is rotatably coupled with the arm. The base is attachable to a platform and is rotatable to control a yaw of the weapon relative to the platform. The attachment component is configured to couple with the weapon and is rotatable to control a pitch of the weapon relative to the platform. The arm is positioned relative to the base so that a recoil vector of the weapon is within 0.5 inches radially of an axis of rotation of the base.
Interactive weapon targeting system displaying remote sensed image of target area
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.

Apparatus and method for controlling striking apparatus and remote controlled weapon system
Provided is an apparatus for controlling a striking device. The apparatus for controlling the striking device equipped with a weapon to strike a target includes: a display unit which displays an image captured by a camera mounted on the striking device; a control unit which controls firing of the weapon; and a manipulation unit which transmits a fire signal to the control unit, wherein the control unit calculates the number of rounds of ammunition left in the striking device, calculates an accuracy rate which is a probability that the striking device will hit the target, and determines whether the target can be neutralized by considering the calculated number of rounds of ammunition left and the calculated accuracy rate for the target.

Dual remote control and crew-served weapon station
Several examples of a dual remote control and crew-served weapon station are described herein that uniquely provide at least three 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, the first operating mode is a mode in which the weapon is remotely steered and fired (e.g., remote controlled). The 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). The 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).
