Abstract:
1. A weapon-mounted optical scope configured to operate in a combat mode and a training mode, the weapon-mounted optical scope comprising: an observation telescope configured for viewing of an image of a target; a laser transceiver coupled to the observation telescope and configured to communicate using an optical signal; an identity determination unit communicatively coupled to the laser transceiver and configured to make a determination regarding the target based, at least in part, on identification information received using the laser transceiver; a simulation unit communicatively coupled to the laser transceiver and configured to transmit simulation information, using the laser transceiver, when the weapon-mounted optical scope is operating in the training mode; and a location information unit communicatively coupled with the simulation unit and configured to calculate location information indicative of a location of the weapon-mounted optical scope; wherein: the observation telescope, laser transceiver, identity determination unit, simulation unit, and location information unit, are physically incorporated into the weapon-mounted optical scope; the laser transceiver is configured to receive data indicative of the location of a receiver unit, and communicate the data to the simulation unit; and the simulation unit is configured to use the data and the location information to determine a distance of the receiver unit from the weapon-mounted optical scope.
