Abstract:

A system for indicating a point of impact of a projectile fired from a barrel of a gun including a dynamic aiming device mounted to the barrel having a camera and a range finder configured to be pointed at a target. The system also includes a display device coupled to the camera for displaying an image of the target, and processing circuitry for superimposing a crosshair image on the displayed image of the target. The processing circuitry is configured to determine a distance from the dynamic aiming device to the target using the range finder and to adjust a position of the crosshair image. The position of the crosshair image is adjusted relative to the distance for indicating the point of impact of the projectile fired from the barrel.
