    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A tactical awareness system. The system includes a plurality of soldiers affiliated with a friendly force, where each soldier has a man-worn computer, a Global Positioning System (GPS) device for determining a location of the soldier, and a smart camera for capturing an image. The plurality of soldiers communicates wirelessly with each other via a network. The location of each soldier is distributed to all soldiers affiliated with the friendly force via the network. The smart camera captures an image when activated by one of the plurality of soldiers and a target image recognition module is used for determining if an enemy or friendly force is identified in a captured image by the smart camera. Furthermore, each smart camera includes a Camera Orientation Module (COM) for obtaining the orientation relative to a known three-dimensional coordinate system of the smart camera.

    摘要: In a display apparatus of an interception area, a first detection device scans a first area containing at least a part of a firing range of a first weapon to detect an obstacle. A first terminal calculates the first interception area in which the first weapon is possible to intercept, based on data of the detected obstacle and data of the first weapon; calculates a first display area showing the first interception area on a screen based on the first interception area; receives second area data generated by a second terminal, and calculates a second display area based on the second area data. The second display area shows on the screen an area in which a second weapon is possible to intercept. The first terminal displays the first display area and the second display area.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method is provided for implementing wind correction for a projectile launching gun aiming at a target on a gun fire control system on an aircraft. The fire control method includes obtaining first physical parameters; executing a ballistics model to obtain a flight path of the projectile; obtaining number of points for wind direction and velocity across altitudes; executing a tracker model to obtain tracker location and initial gun state; obtaining closure tolerance and cross-correlation factor; modeling wind prediction to obtain a predicted wind column; incorporating the predicted wind column for wind column prediction for a projectile effect; and applying the projectile effect to the fire-control processor to adjust aiming the gun. The first physical parameters include wind column, gun state, ammunition type and aircraft flight conditions. The ballistics model obtains a flight path of the projectile based on the first physical parameters. The tracker model is based on the number of points and the flight path. The wind prediction is based on the closure tolerance, the cross-correlation factor, the tracker location and the initial gun state. The wind direction and velocity are obtained from multiple measurements or alternatively from a single-point measurement.

    摘要: A method of mapping a target region image to a referenced image includes steps of acquiring the target region image. The method also includes acquiring the referenced image overlapping the target region image. The method further includes determining a number of common subregions in an intersection of the referenced image and the target region image, determining offsets between the common subregions, computing a distortion map of the target region image over the intersection, and remapping the target region image to match the reference image. The method can be utilized in a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and the target image can be a SAR image.
