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, where the light channel comprises partially reflective optics, a light source adapted to emit light to the partially reflective optics via an optical path, providing light for a reticle visible for a user, and a control unit for receiving a measure of the distance to the target and 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.
Claims8
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 adapted to emit light to the partially reflective optics via an optical path, providing light for a reticle or other information visible for a user, the reticle having a position,
- a control unit for receiving a measure of a distance to a target and for determining an adequate position of the reticle, based on the distance to the target, and
- at least one mirror assembly comprising a plurality of micro-mirrors arranged in a two-dimensional array, wherein each micro-mirror has an adjustable angle;
- wherein the at least one mirror assembly is arranged in the optical path such that the position of the reticle is controllable by adjusting the angle of one or more micro-mirrors wherein each micro-mirror can be controlled to assume at least two positions, with a first position where the micro-mirror is arranged to forward light from the light source towards an eye of the user via imaging optics arranged in the optical path between the mirror assembly and the partially reflective optics, and a second position where the micro-mirror does not forward light towards the eye of the user, and wherein the control unit is configured to determine which of the micro-mirrors should be positioned in the first position, and thereby determine the position and image of the reticle.
