IDF Troops to Get Advanced Gunsight
(Ynet News) Udi Etzion - Israel Defense Forces infantry troops are to get the advanced "Dagger" gunsight. It gives them the ability to hit moving targets precisely, allows soldiers to hit a target on the first shot, and reduces the chances of innocent civilians being hit. The Dagger has an electro-optic system and a processor that calculates the distance of a target and its movement, the movement of the shooter and the ballistics of the ammunition and the rifle used. It then processes all the information in order to select the optimum moment to shoot. The sights follow the target and, with the aid of an algorithm and an advanced image processing system, "know" the right moment to pull the trigger.
