Claims20
A system comprising:
- a weapon having an associated round;
- a fire control controller configured to determine a predicted impact point of the weapon and the associated round;
- and
- a weapon display configured to display at least one of:
- a first viewed area of a first remote sensor of a first aerial vehicle and a second viewed area of a second remote sensor of a second aerial vehicle when at least one of:
