Abstract

A human transported weapon system is comprised of an automated targeting subsystem, a sensing subsystem, munitions storage, munitions logic, sensor logic, target logic, and, munitions logic, a decision subsystem, trigger activation logic, aim adjustment logic; and a firing subsystem. The automated targeting subsystem identifies and provides for selection of a selected target in a field of view of the human transported weapon system. The sensing subsystem tracking location of the available targets in the field of view of the human transported weapon system. The munitions storage provides storage of up to a plurality of types of munitions and having at least one of the types of munitions available to select from. The munitions logic determines which of the types of munition is available. The sensor logic gathers target data from sensors, recognizing type of target from analyzing the target data. The target logic chooses a selected target based on the types of munitions available. The munitions logic chooses a selected munition from the types of munitions available based on the selected target. The decision subsystem locates where target is at a firing time responsive to the sensor logic. The trigger activation logic fires the selected munition at a firing time.
