• An optical aiming means is preferably mounted above the fire control and is adjusted with this.
• the fire control system preferably comprises a red light laser marker and an IR laser aiming light and a laser rangefinder. These can also be partially integrated in the weapon.
• the cultivation of the fire control device on the weapon is subject to a constant correction component by the alignment during adjustment and a variable proportion by own tilting during assembly.
• a visor with target sight for weapons, in particular with ammunition for stretched or elevated trajectories is known, in which the target remains in the center of the field of view of the visualization system even when the tube is raised for the viewer.
• the sighting device has at least two optical systems, wherein the first optical system on the objective side and the / the other optical systems are integrated on the eyepiece side.
• the optical systems can be tilted or rotated, wherein the eyepiece optical system is fixedly attached to the gun barrel of the weapon.
• a reflex sight is known in which a laser is used to illuminate a hologram.
• the laser may also be used to illuminate a reflective or transmit LCD display so as to represent any information in the reflex sight.
• the laser is split by a beam splitter into two beams. One beam is used to illuminate the hologram, the other is deflected by mirrors and used as a target laser.
• this method is limited to using a laser that is suitable both for illuminating the hologram and for the target marking. In target systems where optical sights and tactical lasers are separated, these aiming means must be adjusted individually to the weapon. Usually, the target means are adjusted via a target table.
• the target point (pipe axis) and the target positions of the target means must be displayed on the target table.
• a separate target board must be available. If the laser combination still comprises several lasers, these may also have to be adjusted individually. For IR lasers, this requires additional technical effort to make the IR light spot visible. The complete adjustment process of the target means to the weapon is thus usually very complex.
• the invention therefore has the task of realizing a combined target device, consisting of active and passive target means, wherein as a special property of the / the laser and the passive target means have a common adjustment or should be adjusted together.

• the advantages of an adjustable target mark should be used and text and image information displayed. If, in addition, a magnifying optic, e.g. a riflescope attached to the weapon, it should be able to be aligned very easily and without further aids to the Combi-visor.
• the invention is based on the idea that an optical sight (passive aiming means) consisting of a passive aiming means, eg reflex sight, and at least one, preferably a plurality of tactical laser (s) (active aiming means, aiming, distance measuring and / or other) be adjusted via a common adjustment device in one step and thereby the adjustment effort is reduced.
• Passive target and tactical lasers are adjusted as a unit from the user to the weapon.
• the common adjustment device is designed either purely mechanical or a combination of a mechanical and electronic adjustment.
• the alignment of the tactical lasers which are assembled in the laser block and factory aligned in parallel, is sensed and used to electronically displace the target in the image of the passive target source. This results in a smaller size.
• the tactical lasers are already precisely aligned to each other at the factory.
• the lasers are independent of the reflex sight and can emit radiation in the visible and / or infrared spectral range, both continuously and in pulse mode.
• the passive target means When adjusting the passive target means is preferably aligned in the usual way to the weapon axis, because it provides the direct view and so in addition to the adjustment of the target board also allows the procedure of shooting the weapon. With successful adjustment of the passive target means then all the laser integrated in the device are adjusted to the weapon. Further adjustment effort or special IR-view means are not necessary.
• the passive target agent has as its source a microdisplay which is col- lected by a mirror.
• the brightness of the source is variable. It can be reduced so far that a glare-free vision with a residual light amplifier (BiV glasses) is possible.
• any shapes can be displayed as a target and changed. It can also display information in the form of text, numbers and images.
• the target can be adjusted in Reflexvisier so that the required increase in the weapon, which is distance-dependent, is displayed.
• a dynamic page bias can be displayed. This can be calculated directly from the measured rotational movement and the target distance and displayed to the shooter by adjusting the target mark.
• the integrated ballistic function can determine the new breakpoint of the weapon and display it to the shooter. This adjustment of the breakpoint to the distance to the destination can be done automatically. This makes it easier for the shooter to aim at long range, as neither the reticle has to be adjusted manually, nor does it have to focus on other targets in the reticle.
• a scope (or telescope) can also be attached to the device. This is placed behind the reflex sight. As a result, the target mark and the information also appear in the sight of the riflescope. This also allows the sighting of the riflescope to be adjusted in parallel without any additional aids for the laser combination and the reflex sight, by the crosshairs of the riflescope and the target of the reflex sight are brought to coincidence. Furthermore, all information (eg measured distance, result ZEFF query) can also be read in the riflescope. As a result, the shooter does not have to take his eyes off the target in order to read information from a display. In addition, the information can also be seen with night vision goggles, which typically focus on distant objects. An adjustment of the focus of the glasses is not necessary.

• Fig. 6 is a block diagram of the overall system.
• a reflex sight 50 is realized by collimating a micro-display 8 as a source via a mirror 1, preferably in an off-axis parabolic configuration. Other mirror shapes are also conceivable.
• the mirror 1 is embodied such that an interface is provided with a reflective layer which reflects only the light 1 1 emitted by the display (preferably reflection in the narrow wavelength range, but polarization is also conceivable.)
• the other interface is shaped such that transmitted light
• the light 1 1 of the display 8 is optimally collimated and superimposed with the incident light 10, which is transmitted through the partially transmitting mirror 1 (FIG.
• the adjustment device 4 in turn comprises an adjustment 4.1 and a bearing 4.2. With 7 is a window and 8 with the display is marked.
• the display 8 together with the collimating mirror 1, forms the reflex sight 50, in which information (for example distance indication of the LEM, result of the ZEFF query) can also be displayed in addition to the target.
• information for example distance indication of the LEM, result of the ZEFF query
• the shape of the target can be arbitrarily set by the display 8. A point, ring or cross shape is preferred.
• variable tunable neutral density filter 2 is located on the object side in front of this mirror 1.
• This neutral filter 2 serves to increase the contrast between the collimated display 8 and the surroundings observed by reducing the transmitted light when looking through the mirror 1. In this case, the transmission of the neutral filter 2 can also be reduced to such an extent that the information displayed on the display 8 becomes the dominant image.
• the neutral filter 2 is preferably carried out by an electro-chromium glass. Photochromic glass, two mutually rotatable polarizing filters or a neutral filter with constant transmission are also conceivable.
• the variation of the transmission of the neutral filter 2 can be done manually. However, automatic regulation via a brightness sensor 13 (FIG. 5) is preferred. It can also be a combination of automatic control and manual control. With minimal transmission, the reflex sight 50 can then also be used to display image sequences.
• the display 8 and the tactical laser combination 3 are once factory aligned parallel to each other and connected so that they together as a unit by the user Weapon can be adjusted.
• the factory alignment of the active aiming means is such that the collimating optics of the laser modules 3 to the source of the laser is shifted in each case so that an existing error angle between the laser modules 3 with each other and the LEM 9 (if present) is compensated.
• the goal is to align all lasers in parallel.
• the display 8 is connected via a mechanical connection 6 fixed to the parallel-aligned lasers 3 (and LEM 9).
• the display 8 is collimated via a mirror 1 described above.
• By displaying a target so creates a reflex sight 50.
• the target can now be moved in the image of the display 8 such that the target shown in the reflex sight 50 is parallel to the lasers 3. This default setting is made at the factory and saved internally as the source. Thereafter, all aiming means can be aligned together with an adjustment device 4.
• the lever arm with which the display 8 is displaced must correspond to the focal length of the mirror 1. This is the only way to ensure that the path by which the display 8 is displaced corresponds to an angular displacement of the image 11, which is identical to the angle adjustment of the laser. It is also important that the adjustment is 4.1 in front of the bearing 4.2, otherwise the angle change of the display and the laser are equal in magnitude, but opposite.
• the display 8 radiates via a window 7 out of the housing 5. As a result, the light 1 1 can be collimated by the mirror 1. At the same time, the display 8 is protected against environmental influences.
• Fig. 5 shows in a further illustration, the combined adjustment of mechanical adjustment of the laser block and an electrical adjustment of the target of the reflex sight.
• the mechanical adjustment of the laser block is detected by angle encoder 13.1 and the target in the image of the display 8 is moved accordingly.
• the display 8 is not connected via a mechanism with the lasers, but is firmly fixed in the housing 5 and aligned with the mirror 1.
• a shorter construction is possible (FIG. 5).
• the target With the measured with the LEM 9 or externally entered distance and the known ballistics on the display 8, the target can be adjusted so that taking into account the ballistics of ammunition and weapon (not shown) the necessary increase in the weapon is specified. Other influencing factors on the ballistics such as temperature, air pressure and inclination of the weapon can be detected by sensors 13 and taken into account in the calculation in addition.
• the necessary elevation of the weapon is preferably calculated with a ballistic function 20 which is integrated in the microprocessor 21.
• a dynamic derivative can also be represented by the display, since the target has to be moved only laterally.
• With an additional rotation sensor 13.2 and a LEM 9 can be calculated directly from the known rotational movement and target distance and the necessary dynamic derivative and displayed by adjusting the target to the shooter.
• a shot counter 19 can be integrated in the device 100.
• the shooter on the reflex sight, the lost and / or available ammunition is displayed.
• An indication of the loaded ammunition type is also conceivable.
• a white-light lamp 16 can be integrated in the device 100.
• This lamp prefers an LED as a light source, but a halogen lamp is also conceivable.
• the power supply 15 of the overall system Combi sight 100 is preferably realized by batteries. A feed from an external source is also possible.
• an external data interface is conceivable, which can be realized as a wire 17 or radio interface 18.
• the Combi-sight 100 has control elements 14 for activating the laser 3; the distance measurement by the LEM 9 and other typical functions of the device 100.
• the controls 14 may be simple buttons, but also multifunctional selector switch.
• a riflescope 12 If a riflescope 12 is also to be used, it can be placed in front of the combi sight 100 in the weft direction. A corresponding mechanical support is provided. The mirror 1 of the reflex sight 50 is then in front of the riflescope 12 (FIG. 4). As a result, the parallel beam of the display 1 1 and the parallel beam of the observed distant object 10 occurs together through the scope 12. Both beams are focused in the reticle of the scope 12, superimpose the images. As a result, both images (observed object and information of the reflex sight) are visible at the same time. All representations / displays of the reflex sight 50 described above can then also be seen in the scope 12. Furthermore, the scope 12 can be adjusted in parallel without aids to the reflex sight 50 and thus to the lasers 3. For this purpose, only the reticle of the scope 12 and the target mark of the reflex sight 50 must be made to coincide. Shown in FIG. 6 is the overall system 100 described above in the form of a block diagram.
• the active targeting means 3 serve for targeting, such as lighting, friend-enemy detection (ZEFF), programming of ammunition, in particular with airburst function, and / or distance measurement, etc.
