Precision on the Modern Battlefield: U.S. Army Orders $13M in SMASH 2000L Fire Control Systems

May 29, 2025 By admin Leave a Comment

A new chapter in battlefield precision is unfolding with the U.S. Army’s $13 million order for the SMASH 2000L fire control systems from SMARTSHOOTER Inc., the American arm of the Israeli-based defense technology firm. These compact, lightweight fire control units, also known as SMASH 3000, represent a decisive technological edge for dismounted soldiers facing fast-evolving aerial and ground threats—especially small drones and unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) that continue to dominate asymmetric warfare environments. Integrated as part of the Army’s Transformation In Contact 2.0 (TIC2.0) forces—tasked with pioneering the use of advanced technologies in active combat—the deployment of these systems signals a tangible commitment to increasing precision lethality at the squad level.

The SMASH 2000L operates by combining computer vision, artificial intelligence, and target tracking into a rifle-mounted unit that enables soldiers to lock on and neutralize threats with minimal time and error. This is not just an augmentation of marksmanship—it is a redefinition of it. The weapon sights interface with the soldier’s optics and trigger, ensuring that even a fast-moving drone can be tracked and hit with high probability, even in dynamic, high-stress situations. For the Army, this means greater reliability in counter-UAS operations without adding the weight or complexity of standalone drone-defeat systems.

Combat validation has already come through Israel’s experience in high-intensity engagements. SMASH systems were proven in real-world conflict during Operation Iron Swords and have since garnered NATO interest and usage across multiple U.S. military branches. With this recent contract, the U.S. Army is accelerating toward broad operational integration, hinting at a future where every infantry squad may be equipped with precision-enabling tools previously reserved for specialized units. This is no longer about speculative battlefield concepts—it’s about equipping the force with real-time, real-world capabilities that enhance survivability and effectiveness.

SMARTSHOOTER CEO Michal Mor framed the deal as more than a commercial success; it’s a statement of strategic alignment between modern militaries and emerging defense tech. The $13 million order underscores the Army’s growing appetite for proven, scalable solutions that deliver immediate impact in the field. As conflicts continue to evolve toward decentralized, tech-driven engagements, systems like SMASH 2000L could become as essential to the modern soldier as the rifle itself.
