Unveiled for the first time – new IWOO system combines an advanced optical system, including automated detection and targeting of traditional ground targets as well as small UAS hard-kill capability, all to make the force stronger, faster, more accurate and lethal
In February 2020, the US Department of Defense’ Irregular Warfare Technical Support Directorate (IWTSD) selected SMART SHOOTER, a designer, developer, and manufacturer of innovative fire control systems, to develop the solution for its Individual Weapon Overmatch Optic (IWOO) project.
Last November, SMART SHOOTER successfully completed the IWOO Critical Design Review, which means the IWOO design has been approved by IWTSD and will now move to prototype production with delivery of the first functional system next Fall.
The IWOO program was initiated by IWTSD to provide tactical operators overmatch capability against long range static and moving targets, both day and night.
The IWOO system automatically detects, highlights, and tracks potential targets – including drones – using a see-through display. Built-in fire control processing continuously calculates the optimal firing solution to provide the user with clear, discreet guidance, firing only with the best chance of neutralizing the target, delivering first-round hit capabilities time after time.
Ms. Michal Mor, CEO of SMART SHOOTER, said, “This is an important opportunity to partner with IWTSD to develop the IWOO system, and to provide operators with an optic capability against modern threats and the types of terrorist attacks that we are increasingly seeing on streets and battlefields around the world.”
