Optical aiming device for ballistic drop compensation
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11927767B2) discloses a system for configuring a reticle display field of an aiming device. The system includes a housing with an objective lens and eyepiece portion, a display device for showing a digital reticle image, a magnification sensor, a processor, and a computer-readable storage medium. The system is designed to receive ballistics input data, determine ballistic trajectories, create BDC patterns with holdover marks for different target ranges, and project these designs onto the reticle display field. Additionally, the system can differentiate between multiple BDC patterns using separate display colors and display status indicators for system, environmental, time, and orientation information.
Furthermore, the patent describes a network-enabled optical aiming device that can interact with a client device to receive ballistics input data and target ranges wirelessly. The system can determine BDC patterns for different types of ammunition, project them onto the reticle display field, and display status indicators alongside. The device includes a magnification sensor, a processor, a computer-readable storage medium, a display device, and a network adapter. The system aims to enhance the accuracy and usability of aiming devices by providing customized reticle designs based on specific ammunition and target range information, all while incorporating additional informational displays for the user's convenience.
