That would be handy during the offhand course of fire in service rifle competitions.

Seems useless to me on anything but paper. If the target is moving or the wind is blowing, what then?

So theres no more need for the fundementals of shooting. The price tag is probably beyond 10,000 for the scope alone.

The Defense Advanced Research Agency (DARPA) is working on a shooting system that measures the wind profile between the shooter and the target. I believe Lockheed Martin has the contract.

I surmise that the initial system will be used by the spotter and will connect to a special scope on the rifle. The reticle or dot on the rifle optic will show the bullet's impact point based on range, temperature, RH, pressure, Coriolis drift, Spin drift, wind profile, and any other effect.

I'm surprised nobody said it yet. Who wants to do a GB?
