why would the electronic trigger be an issue of concern? they already exist in firearms used in ISSF shooting sports.

HAZAA!!!
I would take their comments with a grain of salt. DARPA has been studying similar technology for many years now, and while a lot of what they work on never makes it into a soldier's hands, some does. Especially if it really works.Originally Posted by tootall

Yikes! Now if I can only get that option in my next Halo game!
This would be a perfect weapon system mounted on ATV drones contoled remotely. I can see a huge potential and benifits of this system for government use if nothing else for use for EOD or an air dropped drone in a location people weren't supposed to be in the first place.
Too advanced for the army? Lol.

very interesting. how big do the targets have to be for it to properly track right? and also how much contrast? would it track a coyote?
If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.

The president of the company seems to think so.
"Imagine taking out a coyote on the move at 1,200 yards," said Schauble. "With TrackingPoint, this is now possible for anyone."

I think we're only seeing the very beginning of systems like this. In the future you'll see systems like this much smaller, easier to use and more accurate.
It would be interesting to know what would happened if the "painted spot" broke line of sight, say walking behind a tree, I suspect the target would have to be set again.
