Abstract
A fire-control system comprising a housing, a light channel, through which a user may directly observe a target and receive visually displayed information simultaneously, said light channel comprising partially reflective optics, a light source emitting light to the partially reflective optics via an optical path, providing light for a reticle visible for a user, means for receiving a measure of the distance to the target a processor, for determining the adequate position of the reticle, based on the distance to the target, wherein at least one tiltable mirror is arranged in the optical path such that the position of the reticle in controllable by the tilt of the mirror.
Claims6
A fire-control system comprising
- a housing,
- a light channel, through which a user may directly observe a target and receive visually displayed information simultaneously, said light channel comprising partially reflective optics,
- a light source emitting light to the partially reflective optics via an optical path, providing light for a reticle or other information visible for a user,
- means for receiving a measure of the distance to the target
- a processor, for determining the adequate position of the reticle, based on the distance to the target,
- wherein at least one tiltable mirror is arranged in the optical path such that the position of the reticle in controllable by the tilt of the mirror, wherein the tiltable mirror is provided by a micro-mirror device comprising several tiltable micro-mirrors arranged in an array fashion, preferably a two-dimensional array, wherein each micro-mirror is controllable to assume at least two positions, with a first position where the micro-mirror is arranged to forward the light from the light source towards the eye of the user via imagining optics arranged in the optical path between the tiltable mirror and the partially reflective optics, and a second position where the micro-mirror does not forward the light towards the eye of the user and that the control unit is configured to determine which of the micro-mirrors that should be positioned in the first position, and thereby determine the position and image of the reticle.
