A grenade launcher, including: a barrel for launching a projectile at a real target and a sight coupled to the barrel, the sight including: a display that displays an aiming indicator and is configured to display a representative target representing the real target: a sensor configured to track motion of the barrel and accordingly the representative target is moved on the display; and wherein when the display of the representative target coincides with the aiming indicator, the launcher is aimed to launch the projectile to hit the real target.

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.

A fire control system comprises a fixed base and a sight assembly rotatably attached to the fixed base. The sight assembly includes an optical range finder for calculating a distance to a selected target and a camera having a zoom lens assembly and an optical sensor for generating an image signal representative of a target scene including a selected target. The zoom lens assembly includes a zoom controller and zoom lens optical elements, wherein the zoom controller is configured to change a magnification of the zoom lens optical elements responsive to a calculated distance to the selected target. In a further aspect, a method for imaging a target is provided.
