[QUOTE="wwbrown, post: 1944001, member: 31392"] Look up the the OneShot program, it was a DARPA program to build a wind measurement system and a riflescope that would display a moving reticle with the shooting solution based on the atmospherics (wind, pressure, temp, humid), range, angle of inclination etc. I ran the implementation of the hardware for Lockheed's Phase 2 OneShot contract and also did quite a bit of shooting for testing. This goes back to like 2010, what the current state of the art is I could not tell you. The people that bring up the TOF bring up the ultimate problem with an unguided weapon system. DARPA also had a program that was working on a guided 50-cal projectile that would be fired using the 50 BMG round. The combination of a wind measurement system and a guided round would be pretty sweet, the wind measurement system would get the round close so it would not have to expend so much energy on guidance, that way the guidance could be used on final approach to ruin someone's day. At the time (~2010) the 50 cal was the smallest caliber that was thought to possibly be able to carry the guidance system. You can look up either of these DARPA programs using Google. [/QUOTE]
