Summary
The weapon orientation device critical objectives include: accuracy to engage a human target at 1000 meters out to engaging a vehicle at 5000 meters; accuracy is not affected by training conditions such as metal or electromagnetic interference; easy to calibrate the system and infrequent re-calibrations required; ability to lead and elevate over a target; and ability to engage in low light or no-light conditions. In addition, the following are objectives providing trade space in the prototyping efforts: size and weight less than the current laser small arms transmitter, a 72-hour battery life, ability to engage through concealment and obscurants, and the ability to fire multiple round bursts.
