AUTOMATIC MULTI-LASER BORE-SIGHTING FOR RIFLE MOUNTED CLIP-ON FIRE CONTROL SYSTEMS
A multi-laser bore-sighting riflescope system can receive a first laser beam having a first wavelength and a second laser beam having a second wavelength smaller than the first wavelength. The system can detect reflected light from the first laser beam. The system can calculate an initial range to a target. The system can determine a ballistics solution. The system can find a ballistics aimpoint. Further, the system can illuminate a display of a riflescope display assembly (RDA). The system can mark the ballistics aimpoint with an electronic reticle on the display. The system can redirect the first laser beam to the ballistics aimpoint. The system can redirect the second laser to the ballistics aimpoint. The system can detect secondary reflected laser light from the first laser beam. The system can calculate a secondary range to the target.
Weapon Targeting System
A point of aim shows where a weapon is aimed on a target. An electronic device determines an impact location on the target of a projectile fired from the weapon, determines a distance from the point of aim to the impact location, and moves the point of aim in order to sight the weapon to the target.
Variable range compensating device
A variable range compensating device, including at least some of a housing having an optical cavity defined at least partially within the housing, wherein the optical cavity extends from an incoming image aperture to an outgoing image aperture; and two or more reflective optical elements, wherein each reflective optical element is adjustably positioned within at least a portion of the optical cavity, and wherein adjustment of at least one of the reflective optical elements adjusts the reflective optical elements such that a target image entering the incoming image aperture is reflected by the reflective optical elements, so as to exit the outgoing image aperture at a determined offset.
Universal firearm marksmanship system
A universal marksmanship training system is disclosed herein configured to utilize a display device comprising a graphic display. A software application may also be provided. The software application is often configured to display a virtual target on the graphic display. A chamber insert may be utilized, the chamber insert configured to be positioned with the firing chamber of a firearm to be zeroed, wherein the chamber insert interacts with the software application to determine alignment of a bore of the firearm to a bore alignment point on the graphic display. In one form, the display device displays a sight target on the graphic display wherein the sight target is visually perceived by a marksman and is offset from the bore alignment point by an offset distance. In one form, the software application calculates the sight target relative to the bore alignment point of the firearm given a set of condition variables.
Devices and Methods of Rapidly Zeroing a Riflescope Using a Turret Display
A turret display device is used for rapidly zeroing a riflescope. The turrets on an improved riflescope provide a turret position signal. A display of the turret display device comprises turret display cross hairs displayed relative to a target icon. When the turret display device receives a turret position signal, turret display cross hairs move to show the relative movement as indicated by the received turret position signal. When a distance is processed by the turret display device, the turret display cross hairs move to show an aiming point relative to a target icon based on the current zero of the riflescope. The user zeroes the riflescope to any distance by turning the turrets until the turret display cross hairs are centered for the desired distance. In some embodiments the turret display device is integrated into a hand held rangefinder, smart phone, or riflescope. A riflescope having turrets which each provide a turret position signal.
WEAPON SIGHTED CAMERA SYSTEM
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described which provide weapon sighted cameras. A camera can be mounted on a weapon and, after a set-up procedure, can acquire a target without using a weapon sight of the weapon.

IMAGING SYSTEM FOR FIREARM
Embodiments of a firearm device (15) and system employ enhanced optics that can be fixed to a firearm (20), wherein each optical unit is optimized for varying distances from the firearm. An image processor interleaves video streams from each optical unit to present the operator with a unified field of view. Object recognition functions executed by a processor integrated with the device can evaluate the individual video streams, applying object recognition applications to recognize and identify threats/targets within the effective range of each optical unit/image sensor, enabling, among other things, real-time, rapid target identification across multiple distances and prioritization.
PRECISION ENGAGEMENT SYSTEM
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.
