Abstract:
A networked battle system includes a communication network, a first rifle and a sensor pack attached to the rifle that includes a sensor for determining a bearing of the first rifle, a sensor for an accelerometer and a rate gyroscope. The system also includes a communication element coupled to the rifle allowing the sensor pack to provide sensor information to the communication network, a battle management system in communication with the first rifle through the communication network that receives the sensor information from the sensor pack updates a battle plan based on the sensor information to form an updated battle plan and a heads up display unit at least in operative communication with the communication network and the communication element and that displays the updated battle plan to a user.
Abstract:
A mobile ballistics processing and targeting display system for receiving data associated with one or more ballistics variables, for processing such variables, and for displaying an intuitive targeting solution. One or more ballistics variables are inputted into a mobile computing device or are otherwise acquired by such device. Projected in-flight projectile characteristics are calculated by the computing device based upon ballistics variables. A mobile computer processing device having an image collection sensor and display mounted to an optical sight provides a user with the ability to easily view targeting solutions with reference to the sight picture viewable through the sight. The targeting solution displayed to the user is capable of continuous updating to account for changing environmental conditions affecting the calculation of a ballistics solution.

Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for laser-based target locating for measuring and displaying absolute coordinates (e.g., Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates) for a target. Techniques include determining absolute coordinates of a laser-based target locator, and using range and other measurements (e.g., compass heading, tilt, and/or the like) to determine the absolute coordinates of a target. The laser-based target locator can then display the absolute coordinates to a user. Sensors providing the other measurements may be calibrated by first determining the absolute coordinates of an optical tag, which may be optically communicated to the laser-based target locator.

The present invention relates to compositions, methods and systems for environmental sensing. In particular, the present invention provides compositions, methods and systems for external and internal environmental sensing wherein the sensing provides ultrasonic wind detection sensing.
Abstract:
A firearm includes one or more rails to which accessories may be mounted. The rails provide a communication path over which data may be transferred between the accessories and a processor located in the rails or in the firearm. The processor may cause the data to be sent to another location and may receive other data from other locations to provide a network of intercommunicating firearms that may deployed in a battlefield environment.
Abstract:
A plurality of battlefield devices that communicate with a battle management system using a communications network to form a network of intercommunicating battlefield devices that may be deployed in a battlefield environment. Each battlefield device comprising one or more rails to which accessories may be mounted. The rails provide a communication path over which data may be transferred between the accessories and a processor located in the rails or in the battlefield device. The processor configured to cause the data to be sent to another location and to process other data received from other locations over said communications network.
Abstract:
A gun sight for use with a weapon configured for super elevation is disclosed herein. The gun sight includes, but is not limited to, an imaging system that is configured for rotation. The gun sight further includes a drive mechanism that associated with the imaging system and that is configured to rotate the imaging system. The gun sight further includes a gyroscope associated with one of the weapon and the imaging system. The gun sight still further includes a processor that is communicatively coupled with the drive mechanism and the gyroscope. The processor is configured to control the drive mechanism to rotate the imaging system in a manner that causes the imaging system to maintain an initial angular orientation based on information provided by the gyroscope when the weapon is superelevated.
Abstract:
An improved electronic aiming device for use with a weapon or other manually aimed device. Means are provided to vary the field of view, determine range to target, compensate for bullet drop, and to compensate for crosswind, without removing either hand from the weapon, by monitoring the tilt of the weapon upon which the device is mounted.
