Tel Aviv: Israeli company Smart Shooter has secured US $2.4 million contract to supply its SMASH fire control systems to the US Department of Defence.
In May 2025, the company’s US subsidiary received a $13 million US Army contract for SMASH 2000L systems to integrate into the Army’s Transformation In Contact forces for counter-drone capabilities.
SMASH 2000L is a lightweight, rifle-mounted fire control system using AI, computer vision, and tracking algorithms to detect, track, and hit drones and ground targets with high precision.
It’s combat-proven by the IDF and adopted by US Army, Air Force, and other NATO forces for enhanced soldier accuracy in complex scenarios.
The SMASH 2000L is Smart Shooter’s lightest handheld fire control system, designed for rifles like the M4 or AR-15, enhancing precision against drones and ground targets.
It integrates AI, computer vision, and advanced tracking algorithms to automatically detect, lock on, and compute firing solutions for static or moving targets up to 300 metres.
The system performs real-time ballistic calculations, compensates for shooter movement and target motion, and only releases the shot at the optimal moment for a hit.
Last year, the SMASH targeting system was integrated with the Steadicopter’s Golden Eagle unmanned rotor craft, equipped with a weapon system.
