System Will be Evaluated as Part of C-UAS Kill Chain

Yagur, Israel-based Smart Shooter announced on 18 August that its SMASH fire control system (FCS) has been selected for a NATO Defence Against Terrorism Programme of Work (DAT PoW) exercise looking at capabilities in the fight against small UAS. The system will be tested and evaluated in the engagement component of the UAS kill chain.

SMASH is a combat-proven FCS for small arms that ensures each round finds its target. With a unique ‘One Shot – One Hit’ capability, SMASH allows operators to quickly and effectively neutralise any ground or airborne target, manned or unmanned. It is a cost-effective solution and can be integrated onto any type of assault rifle, as well as combined with other C-UAS systems, to provide an effective multi-layer defence solution suitable for the modern battlefield or security scenario.

SMASH’s proprietary target acquisition and tracking algorithms are integrated with sophisticated image-processing software into a rugged hardware solution that enables automatic detection, tracking and effective engagement of UAS. Bringing precision-missile targeting algorithms and advanced electro-optical processing capabilities into the personal weapons domain, SMASH enables creation of a micro-tactical network between deployed SMASH units, allowing the entire platoon to be smart, precise, and connected.

Michal Mor, CEO, noted that SMASH “is a proven and reliable hard-kill solution against UAVs [and puts] a precision anti-UAV capability at the fingertips of its users, maximizing operational effectiveness while keeping the force safe and minimizing collateral damage.”
