Claims20
A system comprising:
- a viewing optic having an optical system with an objective lens system that focuses a target image from an outward scene to a first focal plane located between the objective lens system and an erector system that inverts the target image, and an active display located below the optical system and configured to generate a digital image that is viewed in the first focal plane of the optical system;
- and
- an enabler coupled to the viewing optic, wherein one or more solar panels is coupled to the enabler.
A system comprising:
- a viewing optic having an optical system having an objective lens system that focuses a target image from an outward scene to a first focal plane;
- an erector system that inverts the target image;
- a beam combiner placed between the objective lens system and the first focal plane;
- and an active display located below the optical system and configured to generate a digital image and a collector lens system configured to collect light from the active display, and a reflective material configured to direct the generated digital image from the active display to the beam combiner, wherein the generated digital image and the target image are viewed in the first focal plane;
- and
- a rangefinder coupled to a top portion of the viewing optic, wherein one or more solar panels are coupled to a top portion of the rangefinder.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- a viewing optic having an optical system for viewing a target image, an erector system that inverts the target image, and an active display located below the optical system and configured to generate a digital image, wherein the generated digital image is combined into an image of the outward scene in a first focal plane of the optical system located between an objective lens system and the erector system;
- and
- a rangefinder coupled to a top portion of the viewing optic, wherein one or more solar panels are coupled to a top portion of the rangefinder.
