A method for the fire control of flat trajectory weapons, which comprises the steps of measuring the target range and cross wind velocity along the intended projectile trajectory prior to firing the weapon and, using the know ballistic equations of the projectile, determining the expected vertical and horizontal deflection of the projectile and adjusting the weapon sight to compensate for said deflections.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. Method for the fire control of flat trajectory weapons including a sight having an aiming point, said method comprising:generating at the firing position a laser beam having a repetition rate of not less than 1 Khz;receiving the beam reflected by a desired target;determining the target range by measuring the time lag between the generation of said laser beam and the reception of said reflected beam;determining the crosswind direction and crosswind velocity along the trajectory by receiving said reflected laser beam in two separate positions and measuring the intensity fluctuations of said beam in said two separate positions;determining, using the ballistic equations of the projectile, the expected vertical and horizontal deflection of the projectile; andadjusting the aiming point contained in the weapon sight to compensate for said deflections, either by providing the weapon shooter with sufficient information to adjust said aiming point or by automatically adjusting said aiming point.
