I suppose that would depend on the sensitivity of the laser receiver. If sensitive enough, it could be possible to discern movement of dust particles in the air throughout the entire projected trajectory and adjust the reticle accordingly.

I’ve been fortunate enough to shoot various prototypes and the currently released versions (actually own the 300WM version) and know some of the execs and the development team. It is a remarkable piece of technology that takes into account virtually all variables but WIND has been the primary challenge. There are several technology options to address the wind but they’ve been too expensive and flukey to release. Maybe they’ve cracked it with this (proposed) release. BTW, it’s actually pretty boring after the first 10 or 20 shots. Even at 1000 yards you virtually can’t miss. I would never hunt with the thing as it’s too bulky and not very sporty.
