Abstract:
An optical projection system ( 12 ) for a weapon system aiming scope ( 10 ) having at least objective and ocular lenses ( 24, 26 ) defining an optical path through which a target image ( 30 ) is observed. The projection system ( 12 ) includes a primary beamsplitter ( 62 ) positioned in the optical path, a secondary beamsplitter ( 64 ) positioned adjacent the primary beamsplitter ( 62 ) and off the optical path, a micro-display ( 60 ) that provides a data image ( 38, 88 ) containing targeting information ( 100, 101, 102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 112 ), and an illumination source ( 52 ). The illumination source ( 52 ) generates light directed through the secondary beamsplitter ( 64 ) to illuminate and reflect off the micro-display ( 60 ) so as to define a reflected data image ( 88 ), and the secondary beamsplitter ( 64 ) directs the reflected data image ( 88 ) into the primary beamsplitter ( 62 ). The primary beamsplitter ( 62 ) combines the data image ( 88 ) with an optical target image ( 30 ) in the optical path so as to convey targeting information ( 100, 101, 102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 1112 ) to a shooter or spotter viewing the optical target image ( 30 ).

Claim (Index 11):
The system of  claim 8 , further comprising:\n a second optical scope for an observer, the second scope not mounted on a weapon and having at least objective and ocular lenses defining an optical path through which a target image is observed; a second optical projection system, comprising:\n a primary beamsplitter positioned in the optical path; \n a secondary beamsplitter positioned adjacent the primary beamsplitter and off the optical path; \n a micro-display that presents a data image containing targeting information; and \n an illumination source; \n a communication means for receiving data from at least one of:\n a processor programmed to calculate a ballistic aiming solution; \n at least one environmental sensor to provide environmental data selected from the group of temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, elevation, and location; \n a rangefinder; \n an orientation sensor to provide at least one orientation datum selected from aiming angle, cant of the optical sighting scope relative to a weapon barrel, and azimuth; and \n the first optical sighting scope, \n wherein the received data is communicated to the micro-display, the illumination source generates light directed through the secondary beamsplitter to illuminate and reflect off the micro-display so as to define a reflected data image, and the secondary beamsplitter directs the reflected data image into the primary beamsplitter; wherein the primary beamsplitter combines the data image with an optical target image in the optical path so as to convey the aiming solution to an observer viewing the optical target image through the ocular lens.
