System Overview

What It Is

SmartShooter is a computerized fire control system that mounts on individual rifles, enabling soldiers to accurately engage small, fast-moving targets like drones.

How It Works

The system uses a camera and computer to track targets. When the shooter pulls the trigger, the system waits until the rifle is precisely aligned with the target before firing.
