One of the new weaponry advances for the U.S. Army’s Longbow Apache helicopters is a targeting system that uses infrared cameras to detect muzzle flashes from ground fire. That means the Apache’s virtual eyes will be instantly drawn towards anybody shooting anything.
Not only does the system allow pilots to target the ground-based enemies at a touch of a button but it also offers that same information to ground forces, other aircrafts and tactical operations centers. The system is set for deployment within the next twelve months. [Gizmag via U.S. Army]
