Abstract
The devices, systems, and methods described herein are directed to a manual and assisted targeting system integrated into a weapon control system that includes dual triggers. One trigger is fully manual and is always operational. The second trigger is electronically controlled and is linked to aiming sensors, targeting sensors, and a controller comprising firing control logic. The firing control logic calculates an aim goal, based at least partially on location information pertaining to the target, and determines when the difference between the aimpoint of the weapon and the aim goal is below a threshold. In response to this determination, a control signal is sent to a trigger actuator to fire the weapon.
