I wonder if we could do a DIY alternative using an arduino to control a standard scope...

Looking forward for this. LM is so busy right now.(\__/)

wait, 600meters is long range? I was shooting 400-500 with irons...Designed to improve marksmanship over distances of between three and 600 meters,

Funny how Lockheed gets 3.93 million to develop a scope that does pretty much the same thing as the soon to be released Burris Eliminator.

The Burris seems to be just a bullet drop calculator, which is cool and all, but being able to sense or enter environmental data like wind, temp, and humidity would allow you to do some very precise long range ballistic calculations. It's like putting an abrams tank sighting computer on a rifle.* Freedom is the human right to live your life however you damn well please, so long as you don't interfere with another's right to do the same.

Don't hold your breath for this one. LM's wind sensing project has not produced anything useful - big, heavy and over budget. Army trials of simpler wind sensing devices have not proven them to be particularly effective. Simple methods sense wind at one point (usually the mid-point) between the shooter and target. Ballistic correction based on a single point measurement doesn't work very well. More complicated methods are needed to "profile" the wind at multiple points to the target. The size and weight go up as the methods become more complicated.
Then there is the question of what problem this device actually addresses. Troops are trained to engage targets up to about 250 yards, and either advance or call in fire support for longer distances. So what is this device for? Sniper rifle? SDM rifle? Are snipers asking for it? Your government tax dollars at work...NRA Life Member

LOL - with a company like LM running this $3.9 mil program I'm sure they will deliver a pretty good system in 2025 after spending $10 mil...Comment
