Abstract
A fire-control system including a housing and a light channel, through which a user may directly observe a target and receive visually displayed information simultaneously. The light channel includes partially reflective optics. The fire-control system also includes a light source for visualization of a reticle to the user via the partially reflective optics and means for receiving a measure of the distance to the target. The fire-control system further includes a processor for determining the adequate position of the reticle based on the distance to the target and for controlling the light source to emit light so that the reticle is visualized at the adequate position. The light source is an array capable of selectively emitting light in well-defined locations on its surface.
