Assault Rifles Integrated Onto Multiple UAV Types

Smart Shooter has unveiled its SMASH Dragon system, which allows rifles and other weapons to be mounted on, and fired from, a variety of unmanned aircraft.

SMASH Dragon is “an advanced robotic weaponry payload” that can be mounted on a variety of UAVs, the company says, adding it can integrate “various types of assault rifles, sniper rifles, 40mm, and other ammunition with great precision“. The system includes “a unique stabilisation concept” which enables accurate prosecution of both static and moving targets from a drone in flight. The system has completed live firing tests, the company says, and is “currently under advanced stages of development“.

“Smart Shooter’s SMASH technology offers precise elimination of threats at ground, air and sea,” explains CEO, Michal Mor. “We [now] offer the same precise, combat-proven target engagement technology mounted on an unmanned aerial platform that can be controlled from a distance.”

Smart Shooter’s previous systems, designed to “increase assault rifle lethality while keeping friendly forces safe and reducing collateral damage,” are marketed to military and law enforcement customers.
