The Barrett Optical Ranging System (BORS) was an integrated ballistics computer manufactured by Barrett Firearms that aids snipers and long-range marksmen in taking precise and accurate shots. The system mounts directly to the riflescope and couples with the elevation knob. With the aid of the BORS, marksmen can rapidly account for temperature ...
The SAM (Shooter-supporting Attachment Module) measures and provides aiming and ballistic relevant data and displays this to the user in the ocular of the Zeiss 6–24×72 telescopic sight it is developed for. [36] The SAM has different sensors integrated (temperature, air pressure, shooting angle) and calculates the actual ballistic compensation.
Figure 1: Rangekeeper Coordinate System. The coordinate system has the target as its origin. The y axis value range to the target. US Navy rangekeepers during World War II used a moving coordinate system based on the line of sight (LOS) between the ship firing its gun (known as the "own ship") and the target (known as the "target").
Small Tactical Optical Rifle-Mounted (STORM) laser rangefinder, ballistic calculator with visible and Infrared (IR) lasers [168] L3Harris Technologies: AN/PSQ-25: Enhanced Position Location Reporting System Network Manager (EPLRS-ENM) ruggedized laptop for tracking troop movements: AN/PSQ-27: Master station case associated with AN/PSQ-9: AN/PSQ-28
The Mk 1 Ballistic Computer was the first rangekeeper that was referred to as a computer. Note the three pistol grips in the foreground, which are the firing keys of the main guns. The left sounds an alarm that the guns are about to fire, the center fires in automatic mode (Range Keeper controlled), and right is manual firing.
QuickTARGET Unlimited is an enhanced beta version of QuickTARGET that can take several long range factors into account to make the external ballistic predictions more accurate. For this it can use several drag models; G1, G5, G7, etc. and a custom drag function that uses drag coefficient (C d ) data.
Soldier observed at 400 m: The stadiametric rangefinder in the bottom-left corner of the PSO-1 telescopic sight reticle can be used to determine the distance from a 1.70-meter (5 ft 7 in) tall person or object from 200 m (bracket number 2 to the right) to 1,000 m (bracket number 10 to the left).
A laser rangefinder, also known as a laser telemeter, is a rangefinder that uses a laser beam to determine the distance to an object. The most common form of laser rangefinder operates on the time of flight principle by sending a laser pulse in a narrow beam towards the object and measuring the time taken by the pulse to be reflected off the ...
