ABSTRACT:
A method and system for aiming a small caliber weapon at a target wherein a light beam is directed from the weapon towards an area of the target so as to form a light spot on an object in the target area and the light spot is imaged on a two-dimensional detector so as to form an image thereon whose displacement from an origin of the detector bears a predetermined relationship to a corresponding displacement of the object from a center of the target. The image of the light spot is projected on to a visor worn by a marksman having a reference mark thereon for visually determining the center of the target, and the cycle is repeated as required until the projected image of the light spot on the visor is coincident with the reference mark.
