and a display system operable to display the acquired targeting images in directions suitable for convenient viewing by a user. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for aiming a weapon, the system comprising: an imaging system configured to be mounted to a weapon and acquire targeting images of scenes along directions in which the weapon points; and a display system operable to display the acquired targeting images in directions suitable for convenient viewing by a user. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1 wherein the imaging system comprises at least one camera operable to acquire the targeting images. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The system according to claim 2 wherein the imaging system comprises circuitry operable to transmit wireless and/or wire transmissions encoded with a targeting image that the camera acquires. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The system according to claim 3 wherein the display system comprises a display screen and is configured to receive the transmissions and display on the display screen the targeting images that the transmissions encode. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system according to claim 4 wherein the display system comprises a transmission system operable to orient the display screen so that the display screen faces a direction convenient for viewing by the user. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The system according to claim 5 wherein the display screen is mounted to a support frame so that the display screen is rotatable about a first axis fixed relative to the support frame. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system according to claim 6 wherein the transmission system comprises a first shaft having a first shaft axis coincident with the first axis and coupled to a piezoelectric motor operable to rotate the first shaft and display screen about the first axis. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system according to claim 7 wherein the support frame is coupled to a support base so that the support frame is rotatable relative to the support base about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The system according to claim 6 wherein the transmission system comprises a second shaft having a second shaft axis coincident with the second axis and coupled to a piezoelectric motor operable to rotate the second shaft and display screen about the second axis. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The system according to claim 6 wherein the support frame is coupled to a ball and socket joint so that the support frame and display screen are rotatable about the center of the ball. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system according to claim 10 wherein the transmission system comprises at least one piezoelectric motor operable to rotate the ball and therefore the support frame and display screen about the center of the ball. ### Claim 12 (depends on 5) The system according to claim 5 wherein the display system comprises at least one screen camera having a field of view (FOV) and operable to acquire images in directions along which the display screen faces. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system according to claim 12 wherein the display system comprises image processing circuitry operable to process images acquired by the at least one screen camera to determine if the images image the user's face and if so a location of the user's face in the screen camera FOV. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system according to claim 13 wherein the display system comprises circuitry operable to control the transmission system to orient the display screen in the direction convenient for viewing by the user responsive to the location of the user's face. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1 wherein the imaging system comprises a telescopic sight operable to acquire the targeting images and generate corresponding virtual targeting images. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The system according to claim 15 wherein the display system comprises a mirror operable to reflect light from the virtual targeting images to display the virtual targeting images to the user in directions suitable for convenient viewing. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1 and comprising a human machine interface manually operable to control direction in which the display system displays the acquired targeting images. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The system according to claim 17 wherein the human machine interface comprises a control handle configured to be mounted to the weapon and manually rotatable to control the display system. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The system according to claim 18 and comprising a control button operable to lock and unlock rotatability of control handle. ### Claim 20 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1 and comprising a human machine interface manually operable to control a gyroscope, which controls the direction in which the display system displays the acquired targeting images.
