US12560409 - Laser filter antenna

A light filter antenna configured to be used with a weapon is provided. The light filter antenna includes a housing, a filter unit disposed within the housing, and one or more radar antennae deposited on a surface of the filter unit. The filter unit can be configured to prevent light having a threshold wavelength from passing through the filter unit. The one or more radar antennae can be configured to capture a velocity of a projectile fired from the weapon. A method of manufacturing a light filter antenna is provided. The method includes depositing one or more radar antennae on a filter unit and installing the filter unit within a housing. The filter unit can be configured to prevent light having a threshold wavelength from passing through the filter unit. The one or more radar antennae can be configured to capture a velocity of a projectile fired from a weapon.
