Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current aiming systems for sniper rifles rely on manual input of bullet trajectory and meteorological data, which can lead to inaccuracies in hitting targets due to the lack of real-time bullet velocity measurement and automatic adjustment of reticle settings.
Innovation Solution
An aiming system that includes a suppressor with real-time bullet velocity measurement and wireless transmission to a data logger, which combines with meteorological, geographical, and barrel position data to calculate and adjust reticle settings automatically in the optical scope, ensuring accurate targeting without additional shooter input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual input of bullet trajectory and meteorological data is used, then the aiming system is simple to operate, but the accuracy of hitting targets decreases due to lack of real-time bullet velocity measurement and automatic adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The suppressor automatically measures bullet velocity using sensors and transmits data to the data logger without requiring manual intervention. The system self-adjusts reticle settings based on real-time measurements, eliminating the need for shooters to manually input bullet trajectory data while improving measurement precision
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical data input with electronic sensing and data transmission systems. The suppressor incorporates electrical measurement means and wireless transmission means that automatically capture and communicate bullet velocity data, substituting the manual mechanical process with an automated electronic system
2Reliability
If real-time bullet velocity measurement and automatic reticle adjustment is implemented, then target hitting accuracy increases, but the device complexity increases due to additional measurement and transmission components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into integrated components: the suppressor merges bullet velocity measurement, data transmission, and coordination with the optical scope into a unified system. The data logger consolidates meteorological data, geographical data, heading information, and bullet velocity data into a single processing unit that automatically calculates trajectory adjustments
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback loop where the suppressor measures bullet velocity, transmits it to the data logger, which then processes the information and sends adjusted reticle settings back to the optical scope. This closed-loop feedback system continuously refines aiming accuracy based on actual bullet performance
3Productivity
If manual data entry is required for bullet trajectory information, then the system structure is simpler, but the productivity and response time of the aiming process decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The suppressor and data logger system performs automatic data collection and processing without requiring the shooter to manually enter bullet trajectory information. The system serves itself by automatically measuring, transmitting, and processing data, thereby increasing productivity while maintaining operational simplicity for the shooter

AI summary
The invention relates to an aiming method, aiming system (10) and computer program product utilized in the aiming method where also a real-time bullet velocity (31) of a fired shot by a sniper rifle is utilized. The bullet velocity is measured in a suppressor (3) in real-time for each fired shot. The suppressor (3) sends the measured bullet velocity to a data logger (6) of the sniper rifle (1). The data logger (6) updates a bullet trajectory to a target after each fired shot and on the bases of an updated bullet trajectory the data logger (6) sends new reticle setting to an optical scope (2) connected to the sniper rifle (1).
