The M99 is also used with a portable computer to provide the ballistic calculations necessary to engage long range targets. The rifle can also be integrated with other systems, such as [[ARGUS Drone]]s for trajectory and ballistic data. The M99 also uses the [[ATLAS+]] system developed by [[Ohana]].<ref name="HGN122" /> | The M99 is also used with a portable computer to provide the ballistic calculations necessary to engage long range targets.
