The Lords of Silicon Valley Are Thrilled to Present a 'Handheld Iron Dome'

ZeroMark, a defense startup based in the United States, thinks it has a solution. It wants to turn the rifles of frontline soldiers into "handheld Iron Domes." The idea is simple: Make it easier to shoot a drone out of the sky with a bullet. The problem is that drones are fast and maneuverable, making them hard for even a skilled marksman to hit. ZeroMark's system would add aim assistance to existing rifles, ostensibly helping soldiers put a bullet in just the right place.
