apuntar - dirigir


Explanation:
PAra aim yo diría "apuntar" ya que esto es lo que se usa en el caso de las armas. Si se aprieta el gatillo (en las armas) se dice "tirar".

Para "point" normalmente se podría decir "señalar" pero en tu contexto yo me inclinaría por "dirigir". Así das la idea de movimiento.

Ahora, no soy experta en el funcionamiento de las armas!

Sistema de dirección del objetivo / Sistema de apuntamiento


Explanation:
Hola,

Según lo que pude encontrar en la Web para el contexto de armas, aiming se refiere más bien a "dirigir el objetivo", mientras que pointing es apuntar en un sentido más general.

Por lo tanto mis sugerencias serían:

Sistema de dirección del objetivo
Sistema de apuntamiento

Suerte!
