Abstract:
1. An aiming system for portable weapons comprising: a first pair of inertial sensors and a second pair of inertial sensors, said first part of inertial sensors and said second pair of inertial sensors to be arranged respectively on a portable weapon defining a firing trajectory, and on a display device to be worn on a head of a user comprising a visor that can be viewed by the user, said first pair of inertial sensors comprising first inertial sensors adapted to detect an orientation in space and said second pair of inertial sensors comprising second inertial sensors adapted to detect an orientation of a terrestrial magnetic field, said first pair of inertial sensors and said second pair of inertial sensors being adapted to determine, in cooperation with reference means adapted to define at least one initial orientation for said weapon and said display device in space, a relative orientation in space for the weapon and the display device; an electronic means for managing information received from said first pair of inertial sensors and said second pair of inertial sensors and adapted to place in mutual relation the orientation in space of said weapon and of said display device and to represent in said visor, on a basis of said orientation relation, at least part of the firing trajectory of the weapon; a third pair of inertial sensors respectively arranged on said weapon and on said display device, said third pair of inertial sensors comprising third inertial sensors adapted to determine a linear displacement in space of said weapon and of said display device, said electronic means for managing information being adapted to place in mutual relation positions in space of said weapon and of said display device and to represent in said visor at least part of the firing trajectory of the weapon both on a basis of said position relation, and on the basis of said orientation relation.
