#2 The young lady is operating a remote weapon system, either Raphael or Elbit, mounting either a .50 cal or 7.62mm weapon. The implication is that the system is integrated with external sensors to operate on what is called a "slew to cue" basis. Under this configuration the weapon automatically swings over to where the threat is detected and then the operator takes over to dtermine if the threat is real and dispatch it as needed.

While the IDF officer is rightfully proud of this system, rest assured that it is not the only one in the world. We have them here in the US too, protecting critical assets, and proudly provided by the company I helped found.
