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.
Human Transported Weapon System and Linked External Weapons Subsystem
A human transported weapon system is comprised of an automated targeting subsystem, a sensing subsystem, a decision subsystem, and, a firing subsystem. The automated targeting subsystem identifies and provides for selection of a selected target in a field of view of a target area of the human transported weapon system. The sensing subsystem tracks location of the selected target. The decision subsystem locates where the selected target is at a firing time, responsive to the sensing subsystem. The firing subsystem fires a munition at the firing time towards the selected target responsive to the decision subsystem. In one embodiment, the human transported weapon system is linked to communicate with at least one external weapon subsystem having separate munitions and ability for firing said separate munitions. The decision subsystem determines which one of the human transported weapon system and the external weapon subsystem has a best shot to strike the selected target if fired, and provides for firing of the munition from whichever one of the human transported weapon system and the external weapons subsystem has the best shot to strike the selected target if fired.
Analog calculator for wind deflection of rifle bullets
Certain embodiments of the disclosure may include systems and methods for calculating the wind deflection of a rifle bullet using concentric scales. The scales are marked radially on each side, one side pertaining to wind speed and the opposite side pertaining to wind direction. The scales of one side include indicia of deflection at various wind speeds, and the scales of the other side include indicia for various wind directions. Using both sides together and in sequence, correction can be made for both wind speed and wind direction.
Analog Calculator for Wind Deflection of Rifle Bullets
As analog calculator for determining the deflection of a rifle bullet due to the effects of wind speed and wind direction consists of three members. The first member a disc that is marked on both sides with a series of concentric scales. The scales are arranged such that the proper linear relationship of a set of values are aligned radially at all points around the disc. The scales of one side of the disc are arranged for the purpose of solving for bullet deflection due to varying wind speeds. The scales of the opposite side are arranged for the purpose of solving for bullet deflection due to varying wind direction relative to the line of fire. A second and third member are fixed on either side of the first member such that they are free to turn on a central pivot point aligned with the concentric center of the first member. The second member is marked with a key for the respective scales of the first member with which it aligns and an indicator extending radially that establishes the values on the concentric scales of the first member that share the proper relationship for a correct solution for varying wind speeds. The third member is marked with a key for the respective scales of the first member with which it aligns and an indicator extending radially that establishes the values on the concentric scales of the first member that share the proper relationship for a correct solution for varying wind directions. The third member is also marked with a diagram for the determination of the proper scale for the wind direction relative to the line of fire. Both the second and third member are marked with a scale that aligns around the partial circumference of the largest scale of the first member to allow addition or subtraction of values.
