A self-aiming or automatic targeting system that uses sensors to locate and track objects without human intervention.
From auto- (self) + sight (vision/aiming). Emerged in mid-20th century military and industrial contexts to describe weapons and machinery with autonomous targeting capabilities.
Military engineers developed autosight technology to solve a fundamental problem: human reaction time. Even the fastest sniper can't match an electronic system that aims in milliseconds, which is why modern tanks and aircraft use these systems.
