The present invention relates to a telescopic sight for a firearm for firing in a downward arc comprising: a first movable mirror defining a first optical axis, the angle of said first movable mirror being adjustable so as to transmit, during use, the image of a target at an angle of 90- with respect to the axis of the barrel of the firearm, a being the desired angle of elevation for a given shot; an objective lens, on the first optical axis; a second mirror at 45 with respect to the first optical axis, defining a second optical axis that is parallel to the axis of the barrel of the firearm; an ocular lens on the optical pathway defined by the mirrors projecting the image of the target to infinity.

At least one sensor is configured to detect a user aiming at a point and movement of the firearm. A processor is provided to process and analyse movement data obtained wherein the at least one sensor is adapted to measure a movement deviation from the line of sight between an eye of the user and the point of aim of the firearm. At least one electro-mechanical actuator to apply a correction to the barrel as to maintain aim on the intended point of aim.

The system includes various components to track and graphically display data related to a user, a weapon, munitions for the weapon, other munitions and equipment used by the user, and similar information about other users. The system can include a display device that can be attached to the weapon. A user can look through the display device while looking down the line-of-sight of the weapon to obtain the data on a heads-up-display. The information displayed can include the point-of-impact of a projectile to be fired from the weapon, the number of unused rounds in the user's inventory, whether a magazine is inserted into the weapon, a map of the field of view, identification of friendlies and hostiles, a distance to a target, a count of other assets (e.g., munitions and other equipment) in the user's inventory, and other information about other users.

A fire-control device for a small arm includes an inertial sensor unit for six degrees of freedom, a distance sensor for determining a distance to a target sighted via a sight, and a computation device for determining a target orientation of the small arm from the distance so as to be able to hit the target, the computation device being set up to detect a change in position of the small arm by way of the inertial sensor unit and to correct the target orientation using data from the inertial sensor unit.

Methods and systems are provided for a high-angle sight mount for a projectile launcher. In one example, a system for a sight mount may include a base, a cartridge configured with a quick-release element and adapted for insertion into a cylindrical chamber coupled to the base, and a plurality of cams coupled to the cartridge and adapted to engage with a surface of the mounting platform of the sight mount to adjust an angle of a mounting platform relative to the base.

Embodiments of the present invention assist in aiming indirect fire weapons and firearms. A housing having a display and containing electronics attaches to a firearm. The electronics contain performance information specific to at least one firearm and munitions used in that firearm. Selector switches allow an operator to select the correct firearm and round to be fired from the firearm. Then, as an initial step in aiming, the operator directs the end of the weapon at a target. Then the operator adjusts the position of the firearm while observing the display. The electronics monitor the relative orientation of the firearm and displays feedback on the display as the orientation of the firearm is changed by an operator. When the display indicates the firearm is correctly aimed, the operator discharges the firearm.
