  • Patent number: 10215532
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the designation of objectives, comprising a direct aiming member (D), associated with a gyroscopic unit (G) with three axes not parallel to each other and coupled firstly to means for analyzing the signals issuing from the sighting member, said means being able to determine the direction between the sighting member and said objectives and to transmit it to the distant control station provided with action means, and secondly to means (2) for recalibrating the gyroscopic unit, characterized in that it further comprises image-acquisition means (A) providing photography of the objectives, said acquisition means being associated with the direct-sighting member (D) and coupled to software means for processing the images and to means (E) for displaying said images.

  • Publication number: 20040134341
    Abstract: The invention concerns the field of sighting or aiming means and more particularly a device (1) for determining the direction of a target in a predefined frame and of the type having sighting means (10), means having a sighting member (13), three gyrometers (141, 142, 2143) arranged along three axes in different planes, means for control (16), means (20) for resetting said sighting means (10) and means (30) for processing signals derived from the sighting means (10), said processing means being capable of determining the direction between the sighting means (10) and the target and of transmitting it to imaging means or to external means, and also means (16) for controlling the transmission to the imaging means (40) or to external means, of representative values of the direction between the sighting means (10) and the target, this device being characterized in that the resetting means comprise at least one non gyroscopic sensor (17) arranged on the sighting means (10) and capable of emitting a signal for its t
