Abstract
A tactical system includes a first HUD system mountable to a first weapon and a second HUD system mountable to a second weapon. The first HUD system includes sensors providing position and orientation data of the first weapon, a processor to calculate a target position based on the position and orientation data, and a communications module to communicate the target position over a network. The second HUD system includes sensors providing position and orientation data of the second weapon, a communications module configured to import the target position from the network, and a processor to: calculate a position and an orientation of the second weapon based on the position and orientation data of the second weapon; calculate a target vector based on the target position and the position of the second weapon; and generate a target finder visualization based on the target vector and the orientation of the second weapon.
