ARCAS literally
transforms a simple assault rifle into a digital battle network, dramatically
increasing the importance of the "humble" infantry on the modern
battlefield, day and night.
With ARCAS,
infantrymen and men of the special forces acquire capabilities that could not
even have been imagined before, such as passive distance measurement, automatic
ballistic correction, locating a point from where the enemy fires, monitoring
the movement, firing from behind corners and with the gun at the hip, interfacing
with command and control systems (C2), orientation, enemy-friend recognition,
jam control and firing regulation without prior fire.
A "smart"
computer adapted to the rifle does all the work. It connects to other soldiers
who have rifles with the ARCAS system. The soldier uses the system literally as
if he were playing a battle simulation video game. ARCAS can be used in thermal
and low light shooters and any other shooter, depending on user requirements.
