For the sniper end it would be passive as they only receive the info from a SAT.
Sounds expensive no doubt. This system could also be transmitted to pilots for wx reports and field units for storms and such.
As far as in the scope objects. I was thinking that the spotter scope and sniper scope could be "coupled" where when the spotter or sniper see something they can mark it in their scope and the other can see it in theirs. Like an instant talk-on. You could mark reference points that would show up when they came in view and even mark other targets for follow-on shots. If its too cluttered in the scope have a kill switch that turns it all off for your shot.
Just laying out some thoughts. It got me thinking. |
The radar would do no good for a distant sniper FFP. The wind can be radically different in just 800 meters, and even shorter in an urban and mountain environment. While it could work on a FOB environment, the warming created by the radar would be a learned warning that someone is being targeted.
