Aiming system for weapon
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An aiming system for use with a weapon, the aiming system comprising:
- a processor;
at least one sensor in communication with said processor;
a memory in communication with said processor; and
a display in communication with said processor and operable to display a corrected-aiming point based on at least one simulated bullet trajectory and at least one simulated bullet impact location determined by said processor, said processor using closed-loop control to generate said corrected-aiming point by iteratively generating said simulated bullet trajectory and said simulated bullet impact location until said simulated bullet impact location impacts a desired target at a desired location.

Abstract
An aiming system for use with a weapon is provided and may include a processor, at least one sensor in communication with the processor, and a memory in communication with the processor. The aiming system may also include a display in communication with the processor that displays a corrected-aiming point based on at least one simulated bullet trajectory and at least one simulated bullet impact location determined by the processor.

8. A method comprising:
-
aligning a weapon with a desired target; energizing an aiming system associated with said weapon; determining a range to said target; generating by a processor a number of simulated bullet trajectories; generating by said processor a number of simulated bullet impact locations; generating by said processor said simulated bullet trajectories and said simulated bullet impact locations using closed-loop control until an error between said simulated bullet impact location and said target is within a predetermined range; and generating a corrected-aiming point if said error is within said predetermined range to aid a shooter in adjusting a position of said weapon to allow a projectile fired from said weapon to contact said target at a desired location. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
aligning a weapon with a static target; energizing an aiming system associated with said weapon; determining a range to said static target; generating by a processor a static corrected-aiming point to aid a shooter in adjusting a position of said weapon to allow a projectile fired from said weapon to contact said static target at a desired location; detecting movement of said static target; generating by said processor a moving corrected-aiming point based on said static corrected-aiming point to aid the shooter in adjusting a position of said weapon to allow a projective fired from said weapon to contact said moving target at a desired location; and simultaneously displaying said static corrected-aiming point and said moving corrected-aiming point. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
