Why TrackingPoint's Big Plans To Supply the Military Is Not On Target
The technology has already been perfected by DARPA and companies like BAE and DRS. They recently touted the ability to "shoot around corners." Already accomplished with FWS-1. The Precision Guided Firearm is a huge leap forward but DARPA had been working on a PGF for a couple of years before John McHale missed that Greater Kudu shot in Africa. And DARPA's is a Day/Night Scope that can gauge crosswind and correct automatically. And it's a much smaller clip-on device easily fixed to a Picatinny rail, no need to have the ability dedicated to one squad member. I see why TP is attempting a quick pivot to drones and such. Their largest addressable market is closed for the duration.
