Abstract
An optical sight for a weapon system is upgraded with a retrofit module that provides both gunner sighting at the eyepiece and video transmission of the image the gunner sees to a remote location such as, for example, the helmet display of the commander for the weapon system. The video image may be used for both fire control as well as training of the gunner. The retrofit module is adaptable to most types of sighting systems.
