- Israeli defense company Smart Shooter has supplied the IDF with advanced fire-control systems that enable troops to kinetically intercept these drones by stabilizing aim and tracking moving targets in real time.
- The Smart Shooter system uses optic-based technology and onboard computing to assist soldiers in maintaining accuracy under stress, effectively turning even minimally trained personnel into sharpshooters.
- The company continuously adapts its software to evolving drone threats based on real-world data from conflict zones like Ukraine, addressing variations in drone speed, maneuverability, and attack profiles.
- Smart Shooter's core technology is versatile and software-driven, allowing rapid upgrades and deployment across different platforms to counter emerging aerial threats efficiently.
