ZeroMark

AI-powered counter-drone rifle fire control

Overview

ZeroMark develops defense technology focused on counter-drone solutions for military use. Its flagship product, the ZeroMark Fire Control System (FCS), turns standard rifles into counter-UAS weapons by adding an AI-powered auto-aiming system that uses machine vision (electro-optical cameras and LiDAR) and a motorized buttstock to detect, track, and engage fast-moving, low-altitude drones. The FCS can be installed on various rifles in about 30 seconds with no tools, and it performs prediction and ballistic calculations to adjust the weapon’s aim, creating a virtual pivot between shooter and rifle. This enables soldiers to hit small drones at longer distances with greater accuracy, while keeping human decision-making in control. The system is currently undergoing tests with the U.S. Marines. Overall, ZeroMark aims to provide portable, effective counter-UAS capabilities for dismounted personnel that improve mission success and protect troops amidst evolving drone threats.
