Abstract

The disclosure relates to a device for providing a ballistic solution. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a device for storing one or more ballistic calculators for providing a ballistic solution. In one embodiment, the device communicates with one or more laser rangefinders.

Claims (18)

1. A system comprising: a mobile device having a mobile application with a ballistic solver and configured to communicate the ballistic solver to a ballistic hub, the ballistic hub configured to store and operate the ballistic solver and receive a range from a rangefinder, wherein the ballistic hub calculates a ballistic solution using the ballistic solver in the absence of internet or cellular connectivity, and wherein the ballistic hub is housed in a fob, and further wherein the ballistic hub is not a component of the rangefinder.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a weather tracker device configured to send and receive information to and from the ballistic hub.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a navigation device configured to send and receive information to and from the ballistic hub.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a viewing optic configured to send and receive information to and from the ballistic hub.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the ballistic hub is configured to communicate the ballistic solution to the viewing optic.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is configured to communicate user setup information to the ballistic hub.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein user setup information is selected from the group consisting of: device pairing; device settings; selection of firearm settings; selection of bullet settings; selection of drag models; selection and management of user profiles; environmental sensors; wind bearing capture; compass calibration; single and multiple ballistic display; selection and management of range card profiles; and target parameters.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the ballistic hub further comprises sensors for at least one of temperature, pressure; and humidity.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the ballistic hub is configured to communicate the ballistic solution to the rangefinder without using internet or cellular connectivity.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the ballistic hub and the rangefinder communicate through Bluetooth communication.

11. A fob comprising: a ballistic hub configured to receive a range from a laser rangefinder and calculate a ballistic solution, wherein the ballistic hub is not a component of the rangefinder.

12. The fob of claim 11 , wherein the ballistic hub and the rangefinder communicate through Bluetooth communication.

13. The fob of claim 11 , wherein the ballistic hub is configured to communicate the ballistic solution to the rangefinder without using internet or cellular connectivity.

14. The fob of claim 11 wherein the ballistic hub is configured to communicate with a weather tracker device.

15. The fob of claim 11 , wherein the ballistic hub is configured to communicate with a viewing optic.

16. The fob of claim 11 , wherein the ballistic hub is configured to communicate with a navigation system.

17. The fob of claim 11 , wherein the ballistic hub is configured to receive a ballistic solver from a mobile device.

18. A fob comprising: a ballistic hub configured to receive a range from a rangefinder and having a ballistic solver to calculate a ballistic solution, wherein the fob has a height of 3 inches or less, a width of 3 inches or less and depth of 1 inch or less, wherein the ballistic hub is not a component of the rangefinder.
