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.

Provided is a tool for providing long distance shooters with the ability to receive information from others in the field to adjust their weapon system for the best advantage based on distance, location, and range. The tool may implemented as an application on a mobile device such as a smart phone, for example, making the tool light weight, space efficient, and portable for use in the field. The communication ability allows for tracking shooting partners as well as on-the-spot coordination. The tool further provides range markings, yard lines, and topographic data that allow the shooter to make decisions based on real time data. Shooters are therefore afforded a tool that is portable, easy to use, and flexible enough to use in high-pressure environments.

The vehicle delimits an interior space from an exterior space. The sighting device includes: a support defining an interior volume, an optronic head adapted to rotate about an axis, an optical path comprising: a collecting optical unit for collecting a portion of the surroundings of exterior space, adapted to rotate about the axis; and an optical transport system including a plurality of optical components, portion of the components being, in the interior space and the other portion being in the interior volume; a drive means driving the optronic head and the collecting optical unit so that the ratio between the angle of rotation of the head and the angle of rotation of the collecting optical unit is substantially equal to 1.

A device that causes a weapon to fire upon a target when the weapon is enabled by an operator, and when the weapon point of impact passes through a target or in a proximity thereto and when the target satisfies certain criteria as determined by one or more sensors/designations. This invention represents a significant paradigm shift. Some prior art (large scale) weapons automatically acquire/track/prioritize/target/fire upon targets without operator intervention (i.e. Phalanx). Most prior art weapons, especially but not limited to small arms, are manually aimed, and fire immediately upon an input (trigger pull, or equivalent) from the operator. The current invention is a novel approach which triggers the release of a round, multi-round burst, rocket, missile, or other projectile(s) when enabled by the operator, and when the target passes through the point of impact (or desired/computed proximity thereto), relieving the operator of the split second judgment in timing the release and/or cessation of such fire. The results intended include a reduction in off-target rounds fired, increased hit rate, conservation of ammunition, more effective targeting for non-motion-stabilized weapons (in particular small/medium arms), and the introduction of a backup mode for nominally motion-stabilized weapons which may allow effective operations when primary stabilization systems fail or are overwhelmed by dynamics. This invention is applicable (in embodiments of varying complexity) to weapons ranging from handheld pistols to the main (artillery) gun of a tank, a ship, or the cannon aboard an aircraft.

In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a viewing optic having an integrated display system for generating images that are projected into the first focal plane of an optical system.

Systems and methods of calculating a ballistic solution for a projectile are provided. A ballistic system may include an airborne device, a ballistic computer, a data interface, and a flight module, or any combination thereof. The airborne device (e.g., a drone) may be operable to gather wind data along or adjacent to a flight path of a projectile to a target. The ballistic computer may be in data communication with the airborne device to receive the wind data. The ballistic computer may be configured to calculate a ballistic solution for the projectile based on the wind data. The data interface may be in data communication with the ballistic computer to output the ballistic solution to a user. The flight module may be configured to calibrate a flight path of the airborne device.

The application relates to a target acquisition system according to one embodiment for an indirect-fire weapon. The system includes a terminal device, a sensor unit for the terminal device, an unmanned aircraft and a control device for the aircraft. The terminal device is adapted to receive, from the control device-controlled aircraft, location data (LD, PW, DT, LT) related to a target's location (LT). The sensor unit is adapted to monitor the weapon's position. The terminal device is adapted to present, with a user interface unit, the target's location on the basis of the received location data and a calculated hit point (LH) for the weapon's projectile on the basis of the weapon's position. The terminal device is adapted to indicate, with the user interface unit, when the weapon has been aimed in such a way that, on the basis of its position, the projectile's calculated hit point is in alignment with the target's location, whereby, when the weapon is discharged, its projectile strikes the designated target

A system and method having a first device mounted on a first gimbal mount; a first visual feedback associated with the first gimbal; a second device mounted on a second gimbal mount physically displaced relative to the first gimbal mount; a second visual feedback mechanism associated with the second device. The orientation of the first device differs from the orientation of the second device by a dynamic correction amount. A correction controller having input that when acted upon by a user causes movement of the second device independently of movement of the first device to alter the correction amount to a revised correction amount such that subsequent movement of the first device causes motion in the second device that is at least partially dependent upon the revised correction amount.

A direct enhanced view optic (DEVO) provides a user with enhanced target acquisition information, such as real time ballistic solutions, fused thermal imaging, extended zoom, and automatic target recognition.
