1. An automatic optical sighting system, comprising:
- an adjustable optical system comprising at least one internal optical adjustment;
at least one sensor, each sensor detecting a condition that affects a trajectory of a projectile between an origin and a selected target and generating an indication of the detected condition; and
a processor receiving information related to each detected condition and information related to a state of at least one internal optical adjustment, the processor determining at least one internal adjustment for the adjustable optical system based on at least one detected condition and the state of an internal optical adjustment so that the projectile will have a trajectory between the origin and the selected target that helps the projectile to hit the target.

Abstract
An automatic optical sighting system generates at least one adjustment for an adjustable optical system based on at least one detected condition, an appropriate dynamic model of a projectile in flight, and a solution of the equations of motion in flight, so that the projectile will have a trajectory between an origin and a selected target that helps the projectile to hit the target.

18. An automatic optical sighting system, comprising:
-
an adjustable optical system comprising at least one internal optical adjustment, the adjustable optical system comprising an optical pathway, the optical pathway comprising a first portion extending along a first longitudinal axis of the automatic sighting system and a second portion extending along a second longitudinal axis of the automatic sighting system, the first and second longitudinal axes being parallel and different from each other; at least one sensor, each sensor detecting a condition that affects a trajectory of a projectile between an origin and a selected target and generating an indication of the detected condition; and a processor receiving information related to each detected condition and information related to a state of at least one internal optical adjustment, the processor determining at least one internal adjustment for the adjustable optical system based on at least one detected condition and the state of an internal optical adjustment so that the projectile will have a trajectory between the origin and the selected target that helps the projectile to hit the target. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
