Anti-sniper targeting and detection system

Abstract

An anti-sniper targeting system where a spherical omni-directional depth stereoscopic camera, a radar, and microphone identify, detect, and determine target positions and bearings, detect target weapon flash, detect glint, track bullet trajectory, coordinate, track, share, and assign targets. Target bearings and ranges are determined by sound and heat signature detection from an infrared camera, from glint, and radar to rapidly position a fire control arm with a camera onto assigned targets rapidly from calculations on target positions and optimal trajectory. It can account for firing corrections due to target range and wind effects using wind sensors, pressure, temperature, and earth curvature accommodating for bullet trajectory over large ranges. It can be an offensive sniper system whereby a target is locked in spite of movements, such as from a vehicle using stabilizing gyros and accelerometers, image processing, or sensor data to adjust for movements.

1 . A anti-sniper targeting and detection system comprising:
 a. a camera,   b. a microphone,   c. a robotic weapon mounted with a zoomable camera,   d. a data processing system whereby targets are detected from said camera and microphone, target position is computed, gimbaled angles are computed to move to targets,   e. a radar system,   f. a transceiver, and   g. a heads up display.
