A digital booster for an optical system includes an image acquisition unit. The image acquisition unit is configured to acquire an image frame from a non-magnified optic. The image frame includes an aiming reticle imposed by the non-magnified optic. The digital booster includes a display and a processor. The processor is configured to locate the aiming reticle on the image frame, select a sub-frame of the image frame with an aspect ratio that is centered on the aiming reticle of the image frame, perform image inversion and rescaling of the sub-frame, and transmit the sub-frame to the display.

Digital booster for sights

A direct view optical sighting system. In certain examples the system includes an eyepiece, an objective that directs scene light to the eyepiece, a laser rangefinder, and a laser rangefinder coupling prism that directs a laser transmit beam from the laser rangefinder to the objective and a laser return beam from the objective to the laser rangefinder. Examples of the system further include a display assembly including a reticle prism and a display coupling prism, the reticle prism being positioned along the optical path between the laser rangefinder coupling prism and the display coupling prism and having a hard reticle formed on a surface thereof. The objective can be configured to produce a first focal plane of the optical sighting system coincident with the first surface of the reticle prism. The display coupling prism is configured to direct display light toward the eyepiece. Examples of the system also include a zoom relay positioned between the display coupling prism and the eyepiece and configured to adjust a magnification of the optical sighting system.

Integrated optical sighting system

A sight includes a housing with first and second openings, and includes an optics section that is disposed within the housing, that has image erecting optics and eyepiece optics, and that optically influences radiation received through the first opening from a scene, so as to deliver through the second opening a viewable image that is a function of the radiation. An adjusting section facilitates adjustment of the position of the image erecting optics and the eyepiece optics within the housing.
