A sighting mechanism for a firearm, including a video camera, a video
screen, a digital sighting distance meter, at least one sensor for
measuring environment, cartridge and/or weapon parameters, at least one
biometric sensor, at least one memory module for biometric data and/or
munitions data and a digital computer. The sighting device includes at
least two video cameras arranged in a parallel manner in relation to each
other to capture the target sighting field. The computer has at least two
video input points and an image processing unit enabling the video image
data to be superimposed in real time in a pixel precise manner in
relation to the target field and to be reproduced on the screen. The
computer includes a ballistic computer which enables the target image to
reproduced on the screen. A graticule, which is arranged in the
superimposed screen or on the screen, can be positioned in an automatic
manner and in real time according to the incoming data, such that the
position of the graticule in the target field corresponds to a real
projectile point of impact.
