  • Patent number: 9754380
    Abstract: A remote operated selective target treatment system including a firing robot having a weapon and an optoelectronic sighting device, a central processing unit and a control screen displaying the prepared image of the target, and a control device. The central processing unit prepares the image intended for display, and includes an input module receiving digital images, an image analyzer receiving the image from the input module and detaching the target image from its environment, a modelling device modelling the contour of the image, a comparator connected to a library of silhouettes receiving the modelled image and checking it against the silhouettes, and an exclusion module receiving an image from the comparator and using a library of masks to apply a mask to the image and transmit the prepared image for display on screen.

  • Patent number: 9671197
    Abstract: A remotely operated target-processing system includes a shooting robot having a stand supporting a firing part having an optoelectronic aiming device providing an image of the target, sensors detecting the relative position of the firing part, and actuators positioning the firing-pt. A central unit receives the instructions and the signals from the sensors and generates control signals for the actuators and the firing-pert. A control screen displays the image and embeds aiming data, and a control member directs the trajectory line.

  • Patent number: 5703317
    Abstract: Portable equipment for immobilizing personal firearms characterized by an articulation connecting the baseplate to the rail, and comprising an intermediate part rotatingly connected to the baseplate about axis (XX) by a coupling element. The intermediate portion forces the rail onto its contact surface by means of a tilting member. The freely mounted connecting element is connected to the intermediate part by a pivot axis. The tilting member including a head inserted into the rail and a slide integral with the head and the intermediate part.

  • Patent number: 5375804
    Abstract: a) Portable device for immobilizing individual firearms during adjustment firingb) Device characterized in that it comprises a seating intended to be attached to an existing support (100) by attachment means (2, 3), this seating (1) supporting so as to pivot about a first axis (XX) a plate (6) which accommodates a rail (8) (axis X1X1) which in turn is mounted so as to pivot (7) on the plate (6) about a second axis (YY) which is perpendicular to the first axis (XX), the rail (8) receiving in a sliding manner along its axis (X1X1) at least two plates (9, 10) with adjustment slides (13), of which the slides are perpendicular to the axis of the rail (8) (X1X1) and to the axis of pivoting (YY) of the rail, a U-shaped support (11, 12) mounted in the slide (13) of each plate (9, 10) and provided with attachment means (27, 28, 29) intended to accommodate the weapon to be adjusted.
