    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 helmet includes a protective shell, a monocular eyepiece and a mounting element. The monocular eyepiece displays an image signal to a wearer of the helmet. The eyepiece includes an electronic input configured to input the image signal and at least one mechanical connector. The mounting element is mechanically connected to the protective shell and to the monocular eyepiece, and is shaped to allow the monocular eyepiece to slide along the mounting element and to be secured in front of a wearer's right eye or left eye.

    摘要: A system and method for automatic boresighting of a head-tracking system for a HWD or HUD accesses georeferenced pose (position/orientation) data of an aircraft or other mobile platform from a georeferenced head-tracker and platform-referenced head pose data (based on fiducial markers within the aircraft cockpit) from the inertial measurement units of an optical, magnetic, or optical/magnetic platform-referenced head tracker (PRHT) and determines misalignments of the PRHT relative to the boresighted inertial reference system (IRS) of the aircraft. Based on the determined misalignments and accessed data, the IMUs of the PRHT may be updated and aligned with the aircraft boresight. Misalignments of head-mounted fiducial markers with the boresighted IRS may be determined for updating the alignment of an optical head-tracker fixed relative to the aircraft cockpit.

    摘要: The disclosure concerns an external vision and/or weapon aiming and firing system for a military land vehicle and/or a military aircraft and/or a military naval unit. The system comprises: a video capture device configured to capture a video stream of a scene outside the military land vehicle or the military aircraft or the military naval unit; an electronic control unit configured to insert an aiming reticle in the images of said video stream, thereby generating a corresponding output video stream; and a user interface configured to display the output video stream generated by the electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is programmed to automatically change the color of the aiming reticle so as to maximize its contrast with respect to a predefined region of the images of the video stream centerd on said aiming reticle.

    摘要: The present invention concerns a system for contactless determination of the position and orientation of a first mobile object (M) relative to a reference mark (RP) carried by a second fixed or mobile object (P), in a disturbed electromagnetic environment comprising a transmitting antenna (E) with ferromagnetic cores (E-1) having magnetic permeability higher than 10, incorporating sensors (E-3) for measuring the magnetic field Xu actually emitted by the axes of the ferromagnetic cores. A means (4-4) for extracting the signal correlated with the ambient noise XBR (Tk-KbTc)—from the sensors (Sb) fixed in the platform (P), forms, with measurement Xu of the emitted magnetic induction, a complete model of the measured fields, making it possible to extract, without errors, the six parameters relative to the field model without disturbances.

    摘要: A small form-factor gimbal system that provides for stabilization of payload assets in a manner that provides improved stabilization capability. Such a small form-factor gimbal system provides for precision payload asset steering functionality through integration of an inertially stabilized two-axis gimbal in combination with a beam stabilization mechanism (BSM). In a preferred embodiment, such a small form-factor gimbal system has a gimbal diameter of about 5″ or less and employs a laser assembly having a Coudé path arrangement in which the laser beam passes from the azimuth subassembly to the elevation subassembly along the elevation subassembly rotational axis.
