LAS VEGAS -- The U.S. Army is considering buying smart optics for infantry squads, sources said.

The service is drafting a requirement for a squad fire-control system designed around a common weapon optic, a technology that would link all of the squad members' optics together, according to a source who agreed to discuss the effort on background.

The technology would allow a squad leader to put a digital tag on a target, and the rest of the squad would be able to see the tag when they looked through their optics, the source said.
