Darpa one shot ohjelma?

[Long Range]

Tuossa linkissä on n.10 vuotta vanha uutinen Darpan one shot ohjelman kehittelystä.

Näillä sivuilla on paljon alaa seuraavia henkilöitä.Onko tuo tullut laajempaan käyttöön USA:n armeijan snipereilla ja kun en rallienglannillani ymmärtänyt millä tavoin ko systeemillä tuulenluku toimii???

Valaisetteko tietäjät asiaa!!!

THE FUTURE OF SNIPERS

The Pentagon's inventors at DARPA want sniper and spotter scopes that will help a shooter to rarely miss a shot. With the "One Shot" research program, the military is seeking a sniper scope that uses laser optics to determine the crosswinds between the sniper and the target. A computer in the scope would assist the sniper in compensating for the various winds. At present, snipers and spotters look at vegetation and heat emissions off the ground to determine which way the wind is blowing.

The military is hoping that the system will produce a 60% chance of hitting in a single shot a target under a mile away in moderate winds. Lockheed Martin has been awarded a contract for the project. The military hopes to have the scopes by 2011.

Ps.Ja perustuuko tuo Israelin LIDAR samaan ajatukseen?

New Wind-Reading LIDAR LaserScope
Imagine a "smart scope" that can range your target AND calculate windage correction. Such technology may appear in riflescopes fairly soon. The Israeli Government's Soreq Nuclear Research Center has received a U.S. patent for a new laser-based technology that can gauge wind vectors as well as target distance, using a laser rangefinder coupled to a rifle-scope. The Israeli system is called LIDAR, an acronym for Laser Identification Detection And Ranging. This new technology could, potentially, be a major boon for long-range shooters, both military and civilian. Ironically LIDAR was first developed for environmental monitoring (not for use with weapons). A LIDAR system was used for 3-D mapping and modeling of wind-driven plumes from the Israel Electric Company's Rabin power plant.

Credit The Firearm Blog for breaking this story on the new Israeli LIDAR technology for sniper scopes. The Firearm Blog also first published the LIDAR fire control system patent documentation linked below. There you'll find the patent Abstract, which has a good summary of how LIDAR reads the wind.

The new Israeli LIDAR unit gauges wind speed by detecting fluctations in laser signals sent out from the integrated scope/LRF, reflected back from the target, and then received by photodiodes in the scope/LRF. Other scopes have used built-in LRFs to measure distance-to-target, but Israel's patented LIDAR goes one step further, using the laser to gauge BOTH target distance AND wind vectors (i.e. velocity + direction). This information is entered automatically into software. The software then calculates a ballistic solution compensating for distance, wind angle, and wind velocity. If it really works, LIDAR represents a remarkable technological achievement. The Israelis claim LIDAR works for targets at distances of 500m or greater. Why won't it work at closer ranges? Presumably the wind-induced laser fluctuations are too small to register at closer distances.

90 000 taalaa näyttäisi olevan "catch the wind" kannettava lidar joka mittaa tuulen:

Ennustan, että kuluttajahinta laskee melko reilusti seuraavan 10 vuoden aikana. Näitä laitteitahan esiteltiin Bryan Litzin ykköskirjassa. Kirjasta on ilmestynyt kolmas versio (Applied ballistics for long range shooting 3rd edition). On jäänyt toistaiseksi hankkimatta, kun postimaksut ja tullit ovat noin kaksinkertaiset kirjan hintaan nähden. En myöskään osaa sanoa, kuinka paljon uusi painos valaisee aihetta, jos yhtään.
