New rifle computer systems extend AI revolution to infantry soldiers |
2021-10-07 |
(October 6, 2021 / JNS) The Israeli defense company Elbit unveiled a new artificial-intelligence-powered system last month to transform assault rifles into digital combat machines that are far more lethal and effective. The system, called Assault Rifle Combat Application System (ACRAS), is "a step-change in the lethality, mission effectiveness and survivability of dismounted soldiers in both day and night," said the company. It provides infantry and special operation forces with combat capabilities not available to them before, such as measuring ranges to targets without a laser, automatic ballistic correction, detection of enemy fire sources, video motion detection and even the ability to shoot around the corner and from the hip. The system presents data through the rifle’s sight or an optional digital eyepiece display. |

#6 Gordon R. Dickson's Soldier Ask Not(1967)... The military used "spring rifles" (hi-tech crossbows) and any street thug used energy blasters because all the militaries had EMP weapons that would nerf anything complicated. |
