SMASH 2000
AI-enabled rifle-mounted fire-control sight that turns any rifleman into a drone hunter — organic counter-UAS capability for dismounted squads, now fielded across the US Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy.
An AI-enabled, rifle-mounted fire-control sight that lets a single soldier reliably hit and destroy small drones with standard service-rifle ammunition — turning every rifleman into an organic counter-UAS asset.
Overview
The SMASH family — the original SMASH 2000, the lighter SMASH 2000L, and the current SMASH 2000LE/3000SA — is a Picatinny-rail-mounted electro-optical fire-control system developed by Israel’s SmartShooter. Its onboard AI processor acquires moving targets, tracks them, and releases the shot only when the weapon is aligned for a high-probability hit. Originally conceived to boost first-round hit probability against evasive ground targets, the system’s most urgent battlefield role has become counter-small UAS (C-sUAS): it provides squads with a kinetic option against quadcopter and fixed-wing drones that are too fast and agile for conventional marksmanship.
