LYNNTECH INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: A16-125

Description

Snipers gain a decisive tactical advantage and provide significant psychological effect by delivering precise fire from concealed positions. Under difficult and rapidly changing downrange conditions, successful engagement often hinges on rapid follow-up shots with an applied corrective hold. The limits of depth perception prevent spotters from adequately estimating the precise point at which the observed bullet trace corresponds to the vertical plane of the target. No system is currently available commercially or to the government which adequately solves this problem. Lynntech has demonstrated a bullet tracking algorithm using hardware very similar to fielded thermal weapons sights which allows for tracking of the full bullet trajectory, computing deviation from the projected ballistic solution, and offering an increased probability of hit corrective offset for re-engagement in the following shot. Lynntech’s solution is robust to deviation of several key parameters of the ballistic solution such as range misestimation. Lynntech’s internal team of computer vision experts, engineers, and experts in precision small arms engagement is augmented by outside experts including world-renowned external ballistic experts, military-trained snipers, and a retired military precision weapons armorer. Additionally, Lynntech has formed relationships with leading OEMs for integration with fielded hardware. They will actively engage with the Lynntech team.
