  • Sniper training system
    Patent number: 8414298
    Abstract: A method and system for a projectile training system that automatically predicts a ballistics solution based upon automatically-gathered meteorological and distance information is disclosed. The projectile training system also confirms that manual efforts performed by an operator to adjust the sight turrets would or would not result in a hit and/or kill of the target. Both adjustment of the turrets and aim of weapon is automatically gathered in a determination of whether there was a hit, kill, miss, or near miss. A light or other signal is sent from the weapon toward the target to indicate a shot was sent by the weapon.
    Type: Grant

  • SCOUT SNIPER OBSERVATION SCOPE
    Publication number: 20110289810
    Abstract: A method and system for an observation system for use in weapon aiming is disclosed. An observation scope displays azimuth and elevation adjustments. Meteorological information is gathered by one or more weather stations, which use weather sensors. A range finder determines a distance between the observation scope and a target. A ballistics processor determines a ballistic solution based on the distance and the meteorological information. The ballistic solution is provided to the observation scope.
