A method of digitally boresighting includes finding a laser spot in a field of view of an imaging device that has an optical center, wherein the laser spot is generated by a laser, determining an offset vector between the laser spot in the field of view and the optical center, and correcting for boresight misalignment of the laser and imaging device in the image on a display using the offset vector.

An illumination assembly includes a laser for producing a laser beam of light and an optical fiber disposed adjacent the laser and extending between a beam receiving end for receiving the laser beam of light from the laser and a beam emitting end for emitting the laser beam of light therefrom. A beam splitter splits the laser beam into a target beam and a feedback beam and directs the target beam toward the targeted object. A feedback sensor receives the feedback beam and generates a feedback signal to identify a targeted image portion correlated to the targeted object. A motor is operatively connected to the vehicle with the beam emitting end fixedly secured thereto. A controller receives the feedback signal generated by the feedback sensor and generates a control signal transmittable to the motor to position the beam emitting end of the optical fiber such that the target beam continues to be directed toward the targeted object.

A method for geolocating an image sensor having an LoS and installed on board an aircraft. The geographical position of the sensor and the orientation of its LoS being approximate, it comprises: a step of creating an opportune landmark comprising the following substeps: an operator locating, on a screen for displaying acquired images, a stationary element on the ground, the axis of a telemeter being indicated in these images by means of a reticle the direction of which represents the LoS; the operator moving the LoS in order to place the reticle on this stationary element; tracking of this stationary element; estimating the approximate geographical position of this stationary element; searching in a terrain DB for the location corresponding to a zone centered on the stationary element; displaying an image of the terrain of this location, the operator locating the stationary element; and the operator pointing to this stationary element in the displayed terrain image, the geographical coordinates pointed to being retrieved from the terrain DB, this stationary element becoming an opportune landmark; and the sensor moving relative to the landmark, a step of accurately locating the sensor, from the geographical coordinates of this landmark and using a Kalman filter supplied with a plurality of measurements of the distance between the sensor and the landmark and with a plurality of measurements of the orientation of the LoS of the sensor toward the landmark, there being one orientation measurement for each telemetry measurement, simultaneously allowing the orientation of the LoS to be accurately estimated.

A Small Arms Transmitter (SAT) having two optical sources for use in a military training environment is described. The SAT includes an infrared laser as a first optical source. A visible optical source, such as a visible wavelength laser, is configured as a second optical source. The visible wavelength laser can be configured to be selectively energized during a beam alignment operation. A combiner can be configured to combine the beam from the infrared laser with the beam from the visible wavelength laser to produce a combined beam. Certain techniques and/or materials can be utilized such that the SAT undergoes minimal functional change over a wide range of temperatures.

An optical sight is provided and may include an optics train having at least one prism with a first surface, a display associated with the first surface to selectively supply the first surface with an image, and a processor in communication with the display to provide the display with the image. An infrared camera may be in communication with the processor and may provide the processor with thermal-energy data for use by the processor in generating the image.

An alignment device is provided for a weapon that generates a simulation beam and an alignment beam that is used to properly align the simulation beam with the weapon's sight. The device can be secured to the weapon during the alignment process, after which it can be removed. The device includes a housing that can be mounted on the weapon so that its optical receiving port intersects both the optical alignment beam generated by the optical transmitter and the sighting axis of the weapon's sight. The optical receiving port includes an optical arrangement for receiving the alignment beam and focusing it on a projection screen located inside the housing. An image of the alignment beam on the projection screen can be viewed through the sight by a user. The alignment beam is parallel to the simulation beam. Thus, by centering the alignment beam in the sight, the alignment beam, and hence the simulation beam, will be properly aligned.

Disclosed is a system for a weapon sight for aiming a target. The system includes a controller unit configured to initiate an electronic zoom calibration mode, locate a red dot of a day view optic, cause a line of sight to the target unperturbed, electronically superimpose a reticle of the weapon sight onto a thermal image of the target, store information corresponding to a location of the reticle when the reticle is allowed to coincide with the located red dot, and write a pixel corresponding to the stored information of the location of the reticle to a pixel written corresponding to a location of the reticle in a non-electronic zoom mode. The system also includes a memory unit communicably coupled to the controller unit. Further disclosed are a weapon sight and a method for aiming a target using electronic zoom calibration.

A laser sight is disclosed, including a housing which defines a first central axis, an objective module, an eyepiece, an erecting system, and an adjusting member. The objective module is fixed to a first end of the housing, and the eyepiece is fixed to a second end of the housing, opposite to the first end. The erecting system is movably disposed between the objective module and the eyepiece and comprises a laser rangefinder defining a second central axis. The adjusting member is movably disposed on the housing and connected to the erecting system. During windage and elevation adjustments, the adjusting member moves with respect to the housing and impels the laser rangefinder, such that the first and second axes form an included angle.

Disclosed are a sighting apparatus for a remote-control shooting system and a sighting alignment method using the same. The sighting apparatus for a remote-control shooting system including a firearm installed in a firearm platform rotatable in up, down, left and right directions, and an observation camera installed to be position-adjustable in at the firearm platform, the sighting apparatus includes: a sighting unit which is fastened to the firearm with a zeroing unit precisely up, down, left and right adjustable therebetween, and takes a first image as zeroed; and a controller which controls the firearm platform so that an sighting indicator (e.g., a line) of the first image taken by the sighting unit can be aligned with a target, and aims at the target.

A structure for visibly boresighting an invisible MILES-type laser beam emitted by a small arms transmitter to sights of a weapon intermittently projects a visible light beam that is parallel to the beam emitted by the MILES-type laser. Adjusting the visible beam to impinge on that portion of a target in the sights of the weapon also boresights the MILES-type laser to the weapon's sights.
