WEAPON AUTOMATIC ALERTING AND CUEING SYSTEM

摘要

A system for alerting and cueing a weapon system (34) to detected targets, the system including a sensor (2) for providing target data to a computer (24) and for providing weapon system (34) location and pointing data to the computer (24) for calculation of the relative directions and ranges of the targets from the computer (24). The weapon system (34) is remotely located from the sensor (2) and may be a portable launcher. In the case of a particular target (6) being designated, the computer (24) calculates the errors between the pointing direction of the weapon system (34) and the location of the designated target and communicates these errors to the weapon system (34) sight (32) for guidance of the weapon system to the designated target (6). The computer (24) has multiple, selectable displays one of which is a situation display (78) for presenting the relative directions and certain characteristics of the detected targets and another of which is a parameter display (80) for displaying numerical data relating to a selected target, and in one embodiment, the computer (24) may be a portable computer.
