A platform residing viewing sensor and a pointing system/weapon. An
operator system is remotely monitoring the scene on a display as viewed
by the viewing sensor such that an operator system can gaze, acquire and
track targets by scanning the scene with eyes and locking the eyesight
onto a selected target and track the target with the eyes. The system
further includes a dual camera sensor that follows and monitors the
operator system's eyes motion so that the operator system can
simultaneously monitor the external viewing sensor's scene, locking and
tracking some selected target. The display coordinates of the selected
target are utilized to point the pointing system/weapon on the external
platform so that the operator system can fire at the target as desired.
The problem is thus summarized as one of controlling the weapon pointing,
movement and firing on a target that has been selected and is tracked by
the eyes of an operator system viewing a display.
