Overview

Fire Weaver links diverse battlefield sensors (ground radar, optics, UAV feeds) with available shooters (artillery, attack helicopters, armed drones) over a shared network, recommending or automating the optimal weapon-target pairing and reducing engagement timelines from sensor detection to fires. It has been demonstrated in Israeli Defense Forces exercises and marketed as a network-centric alternative to traditional manual fire-support coordination.
