| [Jpost] "The need for such a system comes from the place where soldiers in combat need to operate in very tense scenarios and do things very fast and accurately under a tremendous amount of physical and mental pressure," another representative from the company told the Post while demonstrating the system at the range. "Exactly the same way it locks on a target on the ground, it locks on a target in the air," he said. With the system, the user selects and locks onto the target, and as soon as the trigger is squeezed, the system calculates the target movement and predicts its next location by means of advanced image processing and algorithms. SMASH 2000 prevents the bullet being fired until the target is precisely in its crosshairs. |

| #1 I spoke to someone about this early today (I am currently in Israel). The system works really well once you acquire the target. There is still work to be done on target acquisition since drones and arson balloon weapons can be relatively small and can be painted blue to blend in with the sky. |
