Abstract: A digital sight for a weapon, is provided that includes an adjustable power supply (APS) configured to supply power, a sight body, a sight interface, and a controller. The sight interface is fixed to the sight body, includes a sight power conductor connected to the APS for receiving power supplied by the APS, and is configured for mechanically coupling with a cooperating peripheral interface of a peripheral for fixing the peripheral to the digital sight and to be coupled with a peripheral power conductor of the peripheral interface for providing power from the adjustable power supply to the peripheral. The controller is programmed to receive a data communication having an optimal power indication from the peripheral and based on the optimal power indication, control the APS to adjust the power supplied by the APS to the sight power conductor. The disclosure further encompasses a weapon assembly, a peripheral, and a method.

Abstract: A digital sight for a weapon includes a sight body, a mount for a peripheral fixed to the sight body, and a controller. The controller is disposed in communication with a non-volatile memory and is responsive to instructions recorded to boresight a peripheral relative to the digital weapon sight. Weapon assemblies and methods of boresighting peripherals to digital weapon sights are also described.

Abstract: An imaging method includes determining heading of a digital weapon sight, determining heading of a helmet mounted display, and calculating difference between the heading of the digital weapon sight and the heading of the helmet mounted display. When the difference between the heading of the digital weapon sight and the heading of the helmet mounted display is outside of a predetermined range image data communication between the digital weapon sight and the helmet mounted display is disabled. Imaging systems and weapons assemblies having imaging systems are also described.
