I would think that a spotting scope that would read the mirage and accurately model the flight of the round would be more effective than playing around on the weapon system itself. Let the shooter focus on holds or scope adjustments normally, but make the spotter the deadly accurate one. Most trained shooters can hit a man-sized sillhouette at 1000 yards IF they get a good call from the spotter (and winds don't gust during the shot or call) and they have the time to settle.
The spotting scope could use the same technology as a camera's autofocus to read the mirage. Start at 0 and bring the focus out slowly (for a computer) reading the mirage every 10 yards or so. Read the "motion" in the image to determine wind speed (the same way a person does). Just do it multiple times that would take too long for a human. Stop when the target is in focus. Throw out any statistical outliers that might be caused by a person or animal moving around. With a software package or module loaded via USB, with ammo, weapon and scope metrics, it could then call the adjustments for the shooter output on the reticle of the spotting scope. "small ball, 12U 4R/hold 1R" The spotter then gets a good call and the shooter can focus on shooting rather than reading the output. Of course there are other things that would come into play such as gusting winds that would require a longer calibration. There's also the question of moving targets and such.
A spotting scope like that would deal with midrange wind changes like valley shooting and remove human error from things like incorrect elevation or math. It would also be able (with a few additional sensors) of dealing with humidity and weather variables. The down side is it would be basically useless in the rain.
My thought has always been that the spotter is the one that makes the shot when paired with a shooter that knows how to shoot. That's where I'd focus on making it more efficient.
Just a pre-caffeine thought...
