Abstract (en)

Systems and methods for automatically generating an aim point correction for sniper operations. The present invention reduces spotter/sniper workload and improves trace spotting analysis. An example system includes a scope, a video capture component, an output device, and a processor in signal communication with the video capture component and the output device. The video capture component captures video of a bullet from when the bullet left a weapon to at least when the bullet crossed a previously determined target range. The processor determines from the captured video where the bullet was located relative to an intended target when the bullet was at the target range, generates a new aim point if the bullet was determined to have missed an intended hit point, and outputs the generated new aim point to the output device.
