Abstract

A weapon mount for controlling targeting of a weapon includes a base, an arm that extends from the base, and an attachment component that is rotatably coupled with the arm. The base is attachable to a platform and is rotatable to control a yaw of the weapon relative to the platform. The attachment component is configured to couple with the weapon and is rotatable to control a pitch of the weapon relative to the platform. The arm is positioned relative to the base so that a recoil vector of the weapon is within 0.5 inches radially of an axis of rotation of the base.

• F41G 3/16 - Sighting devices adapted for indirect laying of fire
• F41A 23/06 - Unipods adjustable
• F41A 23/52 - Base plates for gun mountings

Abstract

A trigger device that is attachable to a firearm includes a device body, a trigger mechanism, and a safety mechanism. The trigger device is configured to enable remote firing of the firearm. The device body that is attachable to the firearm to removably couple the trigger device to the firearm. The trigger mechanism is coupled with the device body and is configured to engage a trigger of the firearm to effect firing of the firearm. The safety mechanism is also coupled with the device body and is configured to engage a safety of the firearm to adjust the firearm between a firing mode and a safe mode.

IPC Classes  ?

• F41A 19/59 - Electromechanical firing mechanisms, i.e. the mechanical striker element being propelled or released by electric means
• F41A 17/46 - Trigger safeties, i.e. means for preventing trigger movement
• F41A 17/06 - Electric or electromechanical safeties

Abstract

Various techniques are described herein for controlling autonomous and semi-autonomous motorized weapons systems. In various embodiments, semi-autonomous motorized weapons systems may perform automated target identification, selection and prioritization techniques. Dynamic target tracking may be performed, for both primary and secondary targets, in cases of stationary and moving targets and weapon systems. A motorized weapon system then may be actuated automatically toward a firing solution target point, during which the operator-controlled firing mechanism may be enabled or disabled based on the projected point of impact of the weapon in comparison to a determined boundary area associated with the target.
