the IDF has invented a new weapon site called the dagger and it will change the face of the battlefield if this sounds like science fiction well it's for real the dagger is basically a smart site a component that attaches to a rifle and improves aim and Target acquisition this will change the face of the battlefield but how let me explain I'm mati Shani stick around and learn more about this new technology with me come with me into the mind of an IDF Soldier fighting in the heart of the Gaza Strip densely populated neighborhoods danger looking around every corner attack drones might attack from the sky and terrorists could assault the IDF combat teams at any time these are just some of the challenges a soldier faces in the field to neutralize threats you have to shoot of course but the target does not stop moving so how do you deal with a moving Target how do you improve the chances of hitting your target while the IDF has found a technological solution this site is called aigion in Hebrew it's not a normal Optical accessory like a laser or an iron sight it's actually a fire control system it allows the fighter to accurately hit moving Targets in simpler terms unlike a normal site which gives the fighter a Target According to which he can place his Barrel the dagger gives the fighter the ability to search mode where every potential Target in the range of sight of the dagger is marked with a rectangle as soon as the fighter locks on a Target he leaves PTT mode and the dagger locks onto the selected Target circling its Center of mass in a circle all the fighter has left to do is pull the trigger if the barrel is not aimed exactly at the Target the trigger will not depress as if the weapon was malfunctioning but if the barrel is aimed straight at the Target and the dagger determines the to be accurate a bullet will exit the Barrel in the exact precise time and the round will be shot basically the system allows the fighter to prepare the weapon for firing so that the bullet will be released only and only when the chances of hitting are high some people are of course concerned about locking the weapon but there is a simple solution moving the weapon slightly will disable the dagger and allow the fighter to shoot freely this whole idea started years ago and back in 2018 when the IDF was tasked with developing systems for protecting citizens from attacks like Kites and explosive balloons it was then that the first dagger site came into use it was heavy and impractical but achieved its purpose still the advanced technology required a lighter and more operational solution today the dagger weighs only 700 g which is no more than any other special site in in relation to the results it provides four times more likely to hit a Target on the first bullet the extra weight seems marginal thousands of them have already been used by the fighters maneuvering in the strip and one of its key operational successes was in golani's 51st Battalion which was attacked by a number of missile drones and with the help of the dagger managed to neutralize seven of them within seconds in this war Advanced Technologies are being used in all combat arenas on the ground below ground in the tunnels and in the air but the current war is unusual not only in its length but its technological advancements and also being the first digital War Israel's Advanced Technologies will be unveiled strategically as the conflict unfolds and I will be there together with you to review them all the state of Israel is one of the most productive hot bits for Innovative companies Tel Aviv has the world's highest number of startups per capita the world's highest investment in research and development and is home to approximately 270 multinational corporations including Google Apple Facebook and Microsoft which have established over 350 R&D centers it is also home to hundreds of venture capital funds and steadily attracts increasing investment that reaches a peak of $27 billion in 2021 at the top of the global High Tech bubble this is just the beginning of this technology in the not too distant future the night vision capabilities of the system will also be significantly improved there will even be a possibility of identifying our forces in order to prevent friendly fire until now sites were mostly a mechanical tool and now they have become smart technological devices kind of like horses and cars with a car you can do things that you just can't do with horses no matter how good they are [Music] hello this is mati here in Jerusalem with TBN Israel this is y Pinto from TBN Israel here in Jerusalem TBN Israel is keeping viewers informed with Israel focused news culture and what God is doing in this land support TBN Israel today online at tbn.org Israel thank you
