Under startup called Tracking Point U.S. army bought six of their precision- owned firearms, which can cost from $ 10,000 to $ 27,000 each. Those expensive rifles are equipped with a Linux computer volume and sensors that automatically identify environmental factors such as air and ground slope. Users only need to select a goal, and tapping into the scope, and the built -in computer will show them how to position a firearm before they press the trigger.
The company's claim came within arms shot show in Las Vegas, where Tracking Point apparently still hanging around after showing off new semi- automatic rifles guided CES. Repurchased units will be used to check whether the rank and file soldiers can compete with the best trained shooters equipped with weapons. If tests go off as the company says its products can share the spotlight with DARPA laser equipped with a sniper scope in the future. It’s only a matter of time until someone starts using it with Drone technology, and we have machines that can kill at a distance and never miss. What makes it worse is that even if the military lock down the technology and never use it knowing that it can be done this DIY developer start developing similar systems.
