The war of the future is gradually being carried out, with many innovations in the matter that begin to be tested in large quantities. This is the case of a rifle in which the US army installed a modernized shooting system.
The objective is to deal with drones increasingly used in conflict areas, especially in Ukraine and Iran. To do this, the army seeks to equip its advanced weapons with a guide backed by an AI that corrects the real -time trajectory to point to a specific objective.
Unpredictable drones for humans
A first demonstration took place on June 6, 2025 in Germany, in collaboration with the Israeli company Smart Shooter. Installed in an M4A1 rifle, the system only triggers the shot when the AI is sure that it can achieve its goal. An important element since this could considerably bounce the letters in clashes of clashes where drones are numerous and their objective, unpredictable by humans.
Smart Shooter explains that your AI can analyze the images in real time and also has objective acquisition software, reports the Specialized Interesting Engineering site.
However, this is not the first time that artificial intelligence has been used to undermine war efforts in terms of drones. In Ukraine, Sky Sentinel Technology is working. This weapon, less practical than a simple rifle, uses AI to defend against Russian drones through an automatic turret.
A first copy was deployed on the Ukrainian front and has already destroyed several enemy devices. The interest of this weapon is not to require humans nearby: everything is controlled long distance. Sky Sentinel is proud to be able to play drones released at 800 km/h.
