Outside of possibles NERPSy 'useless' features, the smartlink-2 system
provides a certain amount of windage, etc. calculations when aiming,
improving performance at long range. Additionally, it can be integrated
with a rangefinder to further increase the performance over long
distances. It originally appeared in the second edition sourcebook,
Fields of Fire.

Basically what John said. In game terms, it still gives a -2 modifier to
making attacks, but halves the Called Shot modifier (to +2). Also, when
coupled to a range finder, attacks at Long and Extreme ranges get an extra
-1 and -2 modifier, respectively.
