Israel's smart electronic sight, equipped with U.S. special forces, is designed to make sure drones are on target

Summary： According to Israeli media on June 8, US special forces soldiers on counter-terrorism missions in Syria were recently equipped with a new intelligent electronic sight developed by an Israeli company. The sight allows soldiers to fire only after they aim at the target, ensuring that each bullet kills one enemy. The bombsight, called Crush 2000, uses a Linux-based imaging system to calculate the best trajectory to hit a target. The bombsight, called Crush 2000, was developed by Israeli company SmartShooter and uses a Linux-based imaging system to calculate the best trajectory to hit a target, the Jerusalem Post reports. When the shooter presses a small button next to the butt of the gun, the sight starts working. When the shooter is about to pull the trigger and fire, the sight automatically determines whether the shooter is aiming at the target. If the sight confirms that the target will not be hit, the gun will not fire even if the shooter pulls the trigger. In addition to targeting and calculating trajectory, the sight also has video recording capabilities. U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers are testing the new electronic sight. A group of U.S. Special Forces soldiers conducting counterterrorism operations near the southeastern Syrian border with Jordan and Iraq are reportedly testing the new electronic sight at al-Tanf base in the region. The al-Tanf base was set up in 2016 to train Local forces in Syria to fight the Islamic State terrorist group. The Israeli Defense Forces already equip the sight, but this is the first time the U.S. military has used it on the battlefield in Syria, according to SmartShooter. The SIGHTS are used by the U.S. military to shoot small drones flying high in the air. Company president Dr. Abraham Mazor wouldn't say what kind of mission the U.S. military is using the sight for, but test videos show it primarily being used to shoot small drones flying at high speeds in the sky. The U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) procured 98 smart electronic sights in March 2019 and completed the first phase of testing at Buehler Air Force Base in California in August of that year. Smart Archer says the technology will lead to big business orders.
