Abstract
A fire control system for a weapon having an operator-aimed barrel compri a sighting piece carried by the barrel and having a reticle adjustable in position with respect to the bore axis of the barrel. A camera fast with the barrel has a field coaxial with the bore axis. The apparent movement of the target in the field of the camera is measured as well as the angular movements of the barrel by the operator. The position to be given to the reticle is computed from variations of the aiming direction of the barrel and from the apparent movement and the position of the reticle is consequently adjusted. The reticle may consist of a LCD.
