technological tools to augment the proficiency of its growing force of
young, female remote observers serving as the nation’s front line of
defense against terrorists, arms smugglers and other infiltrators.

Gaza, the northern borders with Lebanon and Syria, and at friction
points around the West Bank, these 19- and 20-year-old conscripts — part
of the IDF’s Combat Collection Corps (CCC) — operate a multitude of
networked sensors, including the remote-controlled, precision-strike
See-Shoot system built by Rafael. The new tools involve an automated
data-fusing process to improve the efficiency of observers, and a
simulator to closely replicate lifelike scenarios.
