A video system is disclosed having a weapon-mounted video camera (12) transmitting video signals to a remotely located video display (14). The video display is mounted to the helmet (40) of a soldier (36), and includes a sight reticle (50) superimposed on the image of the target (46) so that the soldier (36) can aim the weapon (38) by moving it until the target object (46) as displayed by the video display (14) is aligned with the sight reticle (50). A low probability of transmission interception of the video signals is accomplished by using a nonvisible light carrier wavelength in free space, which wavelength is characterized by a high degree of absorption due to atmospheric water vapor.

A video system adapted for military use, in combination with a weapon, comprising: image generating means for converting an image of an object into video signals representative of the object; a transmitter for transmitting the video signals to a remote location; means for mounting said image generating means to the weapon; a flexible headgear comformable and attachable to the head of a person; a video receiver for receiving the video signals transmitted by said transmitter, and wherein said video receiver further includes switch means for selectively receiving video signals on carriers of different wavelengths; a video display for displaying an image corresponding to the video signals received by said receiver; and means for mounting said video display to said headgear so as to be in the proximity of the eyes of the person such that the object toward which said image generating means is directed can be observed by the person without the person\s head having to be directed toward the object.
