Research abstract
We propose to research and develop an integrated, multi-sensor Electronic Sight Unit (ESU) to replace the current opto- mechanical M67 mortar sight. While the technologies are familiar individually (GPS attitude, magnetometers, optical encoders, MEMS andfiber optic inertial sensors), we will demonstrate full function indirect and direct lay fire control solutions with a fraction of the weight and cost of today's equipment. By combining these new technologies with a low power microcontroller and sensorfusion algorithms, we can transform the handheld 60 mm M1 mortar into a precision direct-fire weapon.
