Smart Shooter is an electro-optic sight, which significantly increases accuracy in fire. Developed by Israeli company "Smart Shooter", along with the technological division in the Israeli army.

Inner works
The system consists of a digital camera, a screen for the shooter, a controller for the trigger, and a computer that can lock on target and calculate the probability of the bullet hitting the target. The rifle will not fire unless the probability of an accurate shot is above 95%, accounting for the wind, humidity, distance etc. The system also records the shot, allowing for later accountability if necessary.

Originally 2000 such sight were ordered for elite unites in the IDF (Israeli Army), mounted on top of M4A1 rifles and Israeli made rifles.

Surprised by the actual accuracy in real combat (2023), the IDF now seeks to significantly increase its usage and deployment.
