Advanced Sighting System (One Shot)
Program Manager: Dr. Deepak Varshneya
The key objective of Advanced Sighting System (One-Shot) program is to
enable Snipers to accurately hit targets with the first round, under
crosswind conditions, at the maximum effective range of the weapon(RE).
For this purpose, the system developed must provide a measure of
downrange crosswind (wind) and range to target. This information will
then be used compensate the bullet trajectory to offset crosswind and
range related deviations of the bullet resulting in substantially
increased probability of success. The system must operate over a range
of visibilities, atmospheric turbulence and scintillation, and
environmental operating conditions and exploit novel technologies that
address the overall requirements of this program. It is anticipated
that the ultimate system culminating from this investigation and
development will provide performance summarized in Annex to BAA 07-03
(Classified). The development work will be conducted in two Phases:
Phase 1 will have the objective of "Feasibility Demonstration
" while
Phase 2 will have the objective of "Packaging of the System
".
