TARGET DISPLAY DEVICE
Disclosed herein is a target display device for assisting to aim at a target beyond a vision obstructing object, the device comprising: a forward-facing camera; a target marker projector; and an orientation marker projector, wherein: the forward-facing camera is adapted to capture an image beyond the vision obstructing object; the target marker projector is adapted to project a target marker; the orientation marker projector is adapted to project an orientation marker; and the forward-facing camera is adapted to capture an image in alignment with the target marker and the orientation marker along a longitudinal axial plane through the target display device.
Automatic Weapon Subsystem with Sensing, Tracking, Aim Adjustment Control, and Linked External Weapons Subsystems for Best Shot
A human transported weapon system is comprised of a targeting subsystem; a sensing subsystem; trigger activation logic; a decision subsystem; and, an aim adjustment controller responsive to the decision subsystem. The targeting subsystem has a field of view in a target area, identifying at least one said target in the field of view as a selected target. The sensing subsystem, senses and tracks location of the selected target through environment in the target area. The trigger activation logic initiates firing of the munitions at a firing time. The decision subsystem, determines where the selected target is located at the firing time, responsive to the sensing subsystem. The aim adjustment controller, adjusts aim of the munition from the human transported weapon, so that the munition will hit the selected target when fired at the firing time, responsive to the decision subsystem. In one embodiment, the human transported weapon system is linked to communicate with at least one external weapon subsystem, and, the decision subsystem determines which one of the human transported weapon and the external weapon subsystem has a best shot relative to each other.

Automatic Weapon Subsystem Movably Mounted Barrel to Strike Target at Firing Time
A human transported weapons system is comprised of processing logic and a barrel movably mounted within a stock. The barrel is movable for positioning and propelling a projectile. The system is comprised of a targeting subsystem (aiming towards an area of sighting); means for locking onto at least one target in the area of sighting as a chosen target responsive to the processing logic; means for determining where the projectile needs to be aimed to strike the chosen target responsive to the processing logic; means for computing a difference between where the projectile needs to be aimed to strike the chosen target at a firing time and where the barrel is aimed at the firing time, responsive to the processing logic; means for adjusting the position of the barrel within the stock, responsive to the computing the difference [note: barrel is adjusted within the stock of the weapon responsive to determining where the projectile needs to be aimed at the firing time to strike the chosen target and where the barrel is aimed at the firing time]; and, a firing subsystem, firing the projectile at firing time so to propel the projectile through the barrel at the chosen target.

Automatic Weapon Subsystem Comprising a Plurality of Automated Weapons Subsystems
An automated weapon system is comprised of a plurality of weapon subsystems; a targeting subsystem; a sensing subsystem; a decision subsystem; a device selection subsystem; and, trigger activation logic. The plurality of weapon subsystems each capable of firing a munition therefrom towards a respective selected target at a respective firing time. The targeting subsystem has a field of view in a target area and provides for identifying at least one said target in the field of view as a selected target. The sensing subsystem provides sensing of the selected target and tracking of location of the selected target through environment in the target area. The decision subsystem, determines where the selected target is located at a firing time responsive to the sensing subsystem. The device selection subsystem determines which of the plurality of weapon subsystems is the selected weapon subsystem in a best position for having munitions fired therefrom to strike the selected target. The trigger activation logic initiates firing of the munitions from the selected weapon subsystem at the firing time, so that the munition will hit the selected target.
