US12309530 - Digital laser filter device

A digital laser filter device allows the user to sight a target without possibility of another belligerent using a laser to damage the user's eye while peering through the firearm optics. The digital laser filter includes two configurations: an inline configuration, and an off-axis configuration. The inline configuration includes a digital camera, and an occlusion shield. The off-axis configuration further comprises a projection arm and an optic tube. The digital laser filter device is mounted to the scope or mounted on a firearm. The occlusion shield is used to establish a seal to the scope for protection against dust, and debris and to ensure the camera view is aligned with the firearm optics. The digital laser filter is also configured to color code the different laser wavelengths to gain information on lasers used and can be integrated with powered firearm mounting systems to link with information centers.
