SMARTSHOOTER SMASH 2000L (company pic)
The American subsidiary of SMARTSHOOTER, an Israeli developer and manufacturer of fire control systems that increase the accuracy, lethality, and situational awareness of small arms, was awarded a contract from Atlantic Diving Supply (ADS) to supply its lightest weapon-mounted fire control system, the SMASH 2000L, to the U.S. Army. The systems will be deployed by the U.S. 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.
It should come as no surprise that the U.S. military is acquiring defense tech from Israel. For decades America has been providing Israel with anything from small arms like M-16 rifles, surplus tanks like the now outdated Patton tanks, or simple ordinance and anti-aircraft missiles. But in recent years, things have also been going in the other direction.

For example, Israeli industries developed the Iron Dome anti-missile defense systems that have protected the country from attacks by terrorist groups like Hamas out of Gaza and Hezbollah out of Lebanon. Israel now provides its Iron Dome technology to the Americans. And European countries like Germany and Ukraine are also looking to acquire Iron Dome tech.
The national company Israel Aircraft Industries has been behind much of this, offering its services at upgrading missiles, planes, and all manner of defense tech around the world. Other companies like Elbit have also been working worldwide. Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems also provides Israeli-developed missile technologies to many nations around the world.
So, SMARTSHOOTER is in good company.
Also known as SMASH 3000, SMASH 2000L (light) is SMARTSHOOTER’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.
SMARTSHOOTER’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 U.S. 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.
SMARTSHOOTER CEO Michal Mor said, “We are honored that the U.S. 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.
