    That's my understanding of the system. There doesn't appear to be any atmospheric compensation -- it just appears to be a methodology to ensure that the hammer is released only at the moment that the sights are lined up with the 'tagged' target.

    Question

    So, to read the wind, would you have to tag the "upwind" edge of the target?

    Without knowing further details about how the system actually works, that would be my guess.

    Still no substitute for "Kentucky windage" or "combat offset".

    It still does not read the wind at max ordnance or where terminal ballistics begin. Northrup and others have tried and have still not come up with a real deal prototype that can past a TRL-5. So it still only solves 1 piece of the equation which can be done with mil dots or a laser range finder.

    Do we not currently possess numerous forms of technology which are vigorously protected from other nations, especially hostile ones? Even if this is non-classified or unrestricted, it doesn't mean we shouldn't want to keep our adversaries hindered as much as possible.

    For some perspective, consider all the technology we have passed on to Afghanistan and even Pakistan. Most believe this is likely to hurt us to some extent in the long run.

    Technology is a good thing. If I had the money to spend on this new device I would rather spend it on ammunition and attending training conducted by experienced individuals.

    This isn't a new concept. Google "inertial reticle technology".
