SMASH2000: Finally, an AI-powered optic that turns your AR-15 into a drone hunter
A new AI-powered optic is available for rifles, including the AR-15. This system, called SMASH2000, is a fire control system that mounts on a standard Picatinny rail. It is designed to calculate whether a shot will hit its target before allowing the weapon to fire.
The SMASH2000 is built by Israeli defense firm Smart Shooter and is already being used by US Marines and Army soldiers. It is not just a scope or red dot, but a system that physically prevents the weapon from firing until it has determined the shot will be successful. Further details about the SMASH2000 are available from the source, including its capabilities and how it is being used in the field.
