Tel Aviv: Israeli company SMART SHOOTER, announced today that its US subsidiary, SMART SHOOTER Inc., was awarded a contract from Atlantic Diving Supply (ADS) to supply its lightest weapon-mounted fire control system, the SMASH 2000L, to the US Army.
The systems will be deployed by the US Army Divisions as part of its C-sUAS defense. SMASH 2000L is also under evaluation by the US Marine Corps Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO), with recent live fire tests conducted in early August. SMARTSHOOTER will present the SMASH 2000L together with other SMASH fire control solutions at the AUSA Annual meeting and exposition in Washington DC.
Also known as SMASH 3000, SMASH 2000L (light) is SMART SHOOTER’s lightest handheld operated fire control system. Using AI, computer vision, and advanced algorithms, SMASH 2000L maximizes force lethality, operational effectiveness, and situational awareness throughout every engagement, in both day and night. Operationally proven, SMASH 2000L ensures precise target elimination against ground and aerial targets, making it an ideal hard-kill solution against drones and sUAS.
SMART SHOOTER’s rifle-mounted SMASH Fire Control system was initially selected by the Joint – small Counter UAS Program Office (JCO) in June 2020 as the only dismounted kinetic solution to defeat drones. The US Army Integrated Fires Rapid Capabilities Office (IFRCO) now took the initiative from the JCO selection to purchase the SMASH 2000L fire control systems under PEO Missiles & Space.
Michal Mor, SMART SHOOTER CEO commented: “We are honoured that the US Army continues to value our true fire control systems, and once again selects the SMASH technology for the use of its soldiers. Whether mounted on a rifle or remotely controlled, the unique SMASH technology ensures precise target elimination by guaranteeing that shot accuracy will not be affected by human errors such as fatigue and stress, nor by the target movement.”
Fielded and operationally deployed by friendly forces worldwide, including the IDF, the US special forces, the Indian Navy, and forces from NATO and Europe, the SMASH Family of Fire Control Systems enables the platoon to be smart, precise, and connected.
