Electrooptical muzzle sight
First Claim
1. An electrooptical sighting system which provides a sight picture of a target in video display form comprising:
- an electrooptical telescope rigidly fixed to the muzzle end of a gun tube;
a fiber-optic transmission link;
means for transforming the optical image transmitted from said telescope via said fiber-optic link into a digital voltage signal;
a system controller for processing said digital voltage signal, said controller providing an output to a video monitor allowing continuous viewing of said target regardless of framing rate.

Abstract
An electrooptical sighting system which provides a sight picture of a target in video display form to the gunner having an electrooptical telescope rigidly fixed to the muzzle end of a gun tube, a fiber-optic transmission link, a sense head for transforming the optical image transmitted from the telescope via the fiber-optic link into a digital voltage signal, a system controller for processing the digital voltage signal. The controller provides an output to a video monitor allowing continuous viewing of the target regardless of framing rate. A means for the multiple coupling of the optics of electronics thereby providing automatic magnification of the picture is also disclosed.
