Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods including a fire control controller configured to determine a predicted impact point of a weapon; 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: the predicted impact point is within the first viewed area of the first remote sensor and the predicted impact point is within the second viewed area of the second remote sensor.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a fire control controller configured to determine a predicted impact point of a weapon;
- and
- a weapon display configured to display at least one of:
- a first viewed area of a first sensor and a second viewed area of a second sensor when at least one of:
- the predicted impact point is within the first viewed area of the first sensor and the predicted impact point is within the second viewed area of the second sensor.
A method comprising:
- determining, by a fire control controller, a predicted impact point of a weapon;
- and
- displaying, by a weapon display of the weapon, at least one of:
- a first viewed area of a first sensor and a second viewed area of a second sensor when the predicted impact point is within at least one of:
- the first viewed area and the second viewed area.
A device comprising:
- a remote sensor;
- a sensor controller configured to direct a pointing of the remote sensor;
- and
- a fire control controller configured to determine a predicted impact point of a weapon, and wherein the fire control controller is configured to transmit information on the predicted impact point to the sensor controller to direct the pointing of the remote sensor.
