IDF acquires Smart Shooter Hopper automated drone-intercept heavy machine guns
The automation lies in the fire‑control algorithms: once a target is identified, the system tracks it, stabilizes the weapon, and calculates the precise moment of fire.

The automation lies in the fire‑control algorithms: once a target is identified, the system tracks it, stabilizes the weapon, and calculates the precise moment of fire.

The trigger is electronically managed so the rifle only discharges when the barrel is aligned with the predicted intercept point, dramatically increasing the likelihood of a successful hit.
