The US military is believed to own six smart $ 27,000 rifles, manufactured by Tracking Point, a Texas-based company. In an interview with Military.com, Tracking Point representatives confirmed that they had sold some of their products to the US military in the past few months for appraisal.

A special feature of the new smart rifle system is that it will be connected to a Linux-based computer, with sensors that collect images and ballistic data such as atmospheric conditions, tilt. and even a slight change in Earth's rotation.

The gunner will use a laser distance meter to identify the target to attack within the range of the gun. The high-tech image processing technology will then calculate both the moisture, wind, and falling trajectory of the bullet when fired from a certain distance. When the target is selected, the viewfinder will provide the viewfinder. To ensure accuracy, the gun is designed so that the gunner cannot even pull the trigger unless the center of sight and axis point to the target in alignment.

The NBC news agency reported that the above-mentioned intelligent rifle could target targets within a range of more than 450 meters and automatically shoot them, even if targets are moving fast at a speed of 16km / h.

In addition, the computer in the smart rifle system also has an iOS app that connects to the gun's viewfinder via mobile Wi-Fi network, transmits all viewfinder data to the application, enabling iPad users. or iPhone can act as a witness and record videos to increase Internet upload. This will help the gunner get immediate advice from the experts on their shooting via the online network, as well as allow him / her to record every target and post it online as evidence.

The inventors claim, their new guns are safer than standard rifles for combat. The reason is, it will help avoid gun injuries when the gunner loses his temper.

The smart gun that the US military is testing is not the first self-defense weapon or the longest range produced by TrackingPoint, but it is the world's first semi-automatic self-defense gun. TrackingPoint is also developing a self-directed rifle with a range of up to 1km and a self-guided pistol.
