Zero Mark's System for Shooting Drones
Zero Mark, a startup, aims to make shooting drones easier by adding aim assistance to existing rifles. By placing a sensor on the rifle that interacts with the actuator, soldiers can improve their accuracy when targeting drones. The system uses machine perception with sensors to detect and classify drones while assisting in ballistics calculations for accurate shots.
