Abstract:
Various techniques are described herein for controlling autonomous and semi-autonomous motorized weapons systems. In various embodiments, semi-autonomous motorized weapons systems may perform automated target identification, selection and prioritization techniques. Dynamic target tracking may be performed, for both primary and secondary targets, in cases of stationary and moving targets and weapon systems. A motorized weapon system then may be actuated automatically toward a firing solution target point, during which the operator-controlled firing mechanism may be enabled or disabled based on the projected point of impact of the weapon in comparison to a determined boundary area associated with the target.

Es wird eine fernbedienbare Waffenstation (1) mit einer Waffe (2), welche in einer Lafette (3) in Azimut und Elevation richtbar gelagert ist, zur Bekämpfung eines Zielobjekts vorgeschlagen. Die Waffenstation (1) umfasst eine erste Einheit (4) zum Bestimmen einer Zielentfernung (ZE) des Zielobjekts zu der Waffe (2), eine zweite Einheit (5) zum Bestimmen einer physikalischen Zielausdehnung (ZA) des Zielobjekts und eine dritte Einheit (6) zum Einstellen einer maximalen Kadenz der Waffe (2) in Abhängigkeit von der bestimmten Zielentfernung (ZE) und von der bestimmten physikalischen Zielausdehnung (ZA).
Abstract:
The invention concerns an external vision and/or weapon aiming and firing system (1) for a military land vehicle and/or a military aircraft and/or a military naval unit. Said system (1) comprises : a video capture device (11) 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 (12 ) configured to insert an aiming reticle (21) in the images (2 ) of said video stream, thereby generating a corresponding output video stream; and a user interface (13 ) configured to display the output video stream generated by the electronic control unit (12). The electronic control unit (12) is programmed to automatically change the colour of the aiming reticle (21) so as to maximize its contrast with respect to a predefined region (22) of the images (2) of the video stream centred on said aiming reticle (21).
Abstract:
A method of sighting a target includes receiving an initial condition of an optical device. The initial condition includes a size of a ranging element and a range associated with the size of the ranging element. The method further includes receiving a ballistic information and receiving an image from an imaging sensor. At least a portion of the image is displayed on a display. The ranging element is overlaid on the displayed portion of the image. A first zoom input is received to set a first zoom value that corresponds to a first distance from the optical device. The method also includes determining a first projectile position based on the first distance and the ballistic information.
Abstract:
The invention regards an external vision and/or weapon aiming system (1) for a military land vehicle and/or a military naval unit. The system comprises: two sensors (11, 12) configured to capture video streams of a same external scene, each in a respective spectral band; an electronic processing unit (13) configured to insert a respective aiming reticle in the images of each captured video stream, thereby generating a corresponding pre-processed video stream, and to process the two pre-processed video streams; and a user interface (14) configured to display a video stream received from the electronic processing unit (13). The system is characterized in that the electronic processing unit (13) is configured to process the two pre-processed video streams by means of image enhancement and picture-in-picture functionalities, thereby generating first and second enhanced video streams.
Abstract:
The invention regards a system of command and control and of aiming and firing (1) for a military land vehicle equipped with at least one weapon. This system of command and control and of aiming and firing (1) comprises: an external vision system for aiming and firing (10) operationally associated with a weapon of the military vehicle; an external vision system for command and control (11); an aiming and firing user interface (13) configured to control both the external vision system for.aiming and firing (10) and the associated weapon, and the external vision system for command and control (11); and a command and control user interface (14) configured to control both the external vision system for command and control (11) and the external vision system for aiming and firing (10) and the associated weapon.
Abstract:
Système téléopéré de traitement de cibles comprenant un robot de tir (1) ayant un support (2) portant une pièce-feu (3) avec un dis- positif optoélectronique de visée (5) donnant une image (I) de la cible, des capteurs (42) détectant la position relative (α, β), de la pièce-feu (3), et des actionneurs (41) positionnant la pièce-feu (3).

Abstract:
A gun sight is disclosed herein for use with a weapon configured for superelevation. The gun sight includes, but is not limited to, an imaging system configured to capture an image of an area down range of the imaging system, to display the image on a display unit having a display, and further configured to rotate in elevation. The gun sight further includes, but is not limited to, a drive mechanism configured to rotate the imaging system. The gun sight still further includes, but is not limited to, a processor communicatively coupled with the drive mechanism and with the imaging system, the processor configured to receive information from the imaging system relating to the image and to control the drive mechanism based on the information to rotate the imaging system in a manner that causes the image to remain on the display when the weapon is superelevated.
