U.S. Army Tests Israeli "Smart Scope" Designed to Kill Drones
(Stars and Stripes) Slobodan Lekic - Photos of U.S. soldiers in the Syrian desert training with an advanced electronic aiming system on their rifles are the first indication that the Israeli-made device was being field tested by the U.S. military. The photos showed soldiers using the Smart Shooter SMASH 2000 sighting system mounted on their M4A1 carbines. Its fire control system allows the shooter to select a target and lock on, and automatically activates the trigger when a hit is guaranteed.
