Wearable programming unit for deploying air burst munition

A method for enabling intuitive aiming of a rifle and deploying an air burst munition (ABM) from the rifle, the method comprising:

• wearing a programming unit on a user, with the programming unit within wireless communication range with both an associated rifle and a selected ABM;
• loading the selected ABM into the rifle;
• a ballistic processor located in the programming unit detecting and identifying the loaded ABM, and the ballistic processor responding by outputting a time of burst and a required barrel angle;
• a sighting unit receiving the required barrel angle and displays this requirement as a visual target marker;
• and
• when the user tilts and/or moves the rifle to bring a centre of sighting unit to coincide with the target marker, an angle measuring unit located at the sighting unit outputs a signal to the ballistic processor and the programming unit is activated to vibrate as a signal for the user to trigger the rifle, so that the ABM is propelled to the target with intended results.
