The imaging device 120 monitors whether or not the target 105 is displayed and then determines whether the target 105 is the target of the shooting if the target 105 is displayed. If the target 105 is a target to be fired, the second step is performed. If the target 105 is not the target to be fired, the second step 621 is not performed.

In a third step 631, the distance between the arming device and the target 105 is calculated using the distance between the arming device and the angle of the arming device and the distance between the arming device and the target 105. That is, the distance between the weapon device and the target 105 is calculated using Equations (5) and (8).
