Abstract:
A method of executing a mission for at least one mobile munition assembly in a mission environment is provided, the at least one mobile munition assembly having a container that encloses one or more launchers configured to receive and launch a munition. One or more electronic devices in communicatively coupling with one another in the mission environment form a secure network. A status of a situational awareness (SA) corresponding to each of the one or more electronic devices in the mission environment is transmitted. An input of parameters of the mission for the at least one mobile munition assembly is enabled, the parameters having one or more predefined rules associated therewith and configured to be applied to the parameters based on at least the status of the situational awareness (SA). An authorization or a denial of the mission for the at least one mobile munition assembly is requested.

Abstract:
A system includes a target illumination laser (TIL) (204, 306) configured to generate a TIL beam (108) that illuminates a target (104) and a beacon illumination laser (BIL) (206, 308) configured to generate a BIL beam (110) that creates a spot on the target. The system also includes an imaging sensor (228, 378) configured to capture both (i) first images (502) of the target containing reflected TIL energy from the TIL beam without reflected BIL energy from the BIL beam and (ii) second images (602) of the target containing reflected TIL energy from the TIL beam and reflected BIL energy from the BIL beam. The system further includes at least one controller (230) configured to perform target tracking using the first images and boresight error compensation using the second images.
Abstract:
A gunsight for aiming a firearm may comprise a microbolometer and an objective optic positioned forward of the microbolometer for focusing electromagnetic waves on the microbolometer. The objective optic may comprise one or more objective lenses. The gunsight may also comprise a display and an eyepiece optic positioned rearward of the display for allowing a user to view the display through the eyepiece optic. The eyepiece optic may comprise one or more eyepiece lenses. Circuitry of the gunsight is operatively coupled to the microbolometer and the display. The circuitry may comprise one or more processors and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing one or more instruction sets. In some embodiments, the one or more instruction sets include instructions configured to be executed by the one or more processors to cause the gunsight to capture image signals with the microbolometer and display selected images on the display.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described which provide weapon sighted cameras. A camera can be mounted on a weapon and, after a set-up procedure, can acquire a target without using a weapon sight of the weapon.

Abstract:
Systems, devices, and methods for determining a time of flight (TOF) of a first bullet fired from a gun to pass a target plane (116) of a target (102,214,414,614); determining a location of an aimpoint on the target (214,414,614) in an imager field of view (FOV) (216) relative to a disturbed reticle (210) at a time the first bullet (114) is fired by the gun; determining a location of the first bullet (114) relative to the location of the aimpoint on the target at the TOF in the imager FOV (216); and determining an updated location of the disturbed reticle (222) based on a difference between the location of the first bullet (114) and the location of the aimpoint on the target (214,414,614) at the time the first bullet crosses the target plane and a difference between the location of the disturbed reticle and the location of the aimpoint on the target at the time the first bullet was fired.
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 handgun shooter while in motion is unable to hold attention to the target and the point of impact continuously. In order to target more precisely, the shooter needs to stop for a moment, focus on the target and align the front and rear sights with the target, which normally means wasting valuable time. In bright light conditions, not even a built-in laser is of any help, since the laser point is hard to detect. This problem is solved by the augmented reality based handguns targeting system. The system utilises glasses (1) with built-in cameras (3) and a computer (4). Computer processing of the image obtained by cameras (3) discovers the point of impact. Before the shooter's eye, the reticle (12) is outlined on the transparent screen (5), marking the point of impact (16). The reticle on transparent screen (5) of glasses (1) is maintained continuously, as long as the weapon is directed in the watching direction, regardless of the shooter's other activities. The moment the shooter decides to shoot, the reticle marks the point of impact, enabling fast and intuitive shooting, requiring no repositioning of the weapon to the eye level and looking through the targeting devices. The system is used for handguns (6) equipped with a laser (7) and handguns (10) equipped with a camera (11). In handguns with built-in laser (7), the point of impact, marked with laser point (9), is detected by processing the image from cameras (3) on glasses (1). In handguns with built-in camera, the point of impact is detected by comparing images from camera (11) on the handgun (10) and cameras (3) on glasses (1).
