Abstract
The weapon system has an optical sight mounted on the weapon and a frame having an aiming window configured to superimpose a reticle viewable through the aiming window onto a first focal plane. An optoelectronic device is mounted on the weapon and includes an imager having a sensor array and a display device. An image processor is configured to receive image data captured by the sensor array and process the image data to generate a subset image received from a selected region of the sensor array. The selected region of the sensor array defines a second focal plane. A controller is configured to receive input from an operator and, in response to the input, to select a selected region of the sensor array to align the second focal plane with the first focal plane.
