![]() So, you no longer have to be a highly-trained sniper to hit difficult and moving targets. The computer does all the real work for you. Then you just move you reticle to the marked person, vehicle or drone while pulling and holding the trigger, and the system will automatically synchronize the shot release for you as soon as the gun is aimed properly at the target. Just like with TrackingPoint, you just identify the target through the optic and lock onto it. The system integrates Lock-Track-Hit capabilities hitting static and dynamic targets, at complicated shooting conditions, in real tactical scenarios.” Sounds pretty good. It “includes an etched reticle to allow shooting without battery power, as well as “an optional integrated Laser Range Finder (LRF) that enables range measurement both as a user-initiated capability as well as a system input for improved precision. And, finally, if you need a 4X magnified optic to engage long-range moving targets, then the SMASH X4’s for you. If you need a more advanced FCS to “kinetically eliminate” low-flying drones that can communicate with C4I systems, Battle Management Systems and external sensors, go with the SMASH AD. If you also need a counter-UAS (Unmanned Aerial/Aircraft System) capability to kill drone aircraft, then you probably want to go with the SMASH 2000 Plus. If you just need a system to target enemy combatants and ground vehicles, you might just want to go with the SMASH 2000. There are also two tripod mounting systems available for them, the SMASH HOPPER and SMASH HOPPER LIGHT.īasically, the SMASH FCS mounts directly on your rifle/carbine’s MIL-STD-1913 “Picatinny” top rail, and the specific SMASH FCS you choose will be dictated by your mission requirements. ![]() The Smart Shooter SMASH family of fire control systems include the SMASH 2000, SMASH 2000 Plus, SMASH AD, and SMASH X4. has a very interesting family of smart weapon sights/combat optics, or “fire control systems” (FCS) for engaging moving targets called SMASH that reminds DefenseReiew (DR) a bit of the TrackingPoint family of smart scopes, but SMASH has its own thing going for it, and it’s worth reviewing. “We look forward to conducting operational testing and evaluation using the dual-capabilities of IWOO prototypes in 2021 against ground targets at increased ranges and to take-down drones.An Israeli company called Smart Shooter Ltd. “We are very pleased with the progress SMART SHOOTER has made with the IWOO design” said Michael Trexler, Special Operation Forces Combat Support Coordinator / Program Manager, at IWTSD. “We value this important opportunity to partner with IWTSD to develop the IWOO system, and are honored to provide operators with an unmatched optic capability against modern threats and the types of terrorist attacks that we are increasingly seeing on streets and battlefields around the world” Ms. Built-in fire control processing continuously calculates the optimal firing solution to provide the user with clear, discreet guidance, firing only with the best chance of neutralizing the target, delivering first-round hit capabilities time after time. The IWOO system automatically detects, highlights, and tracks potential targets – including drones – using a see-through display which enhances the user situational awareness. SMART SHOOTER won the competition and began development using proven technologies from its SMASH line of Fire Control optics and inserting new capabilities such as a variable x1- x8 zoom – all stitched together with combat-proven fire control algorithms to assure the hit, according to a report by the manufacturer SMART SHOOTER published by Soldier Systems. The IWOO program was initiated by IWTSD to provide tactical operators overmatch capability against long range static and moving targets, both day and night. SMART SHOOTER successfully completed the Critical Design Review in November 2020. ![]() The IWTSD selected SMART SHOOTER in February 2020 as a solution for its Individual Weapon Overmatch Optic (IWOO) project. The US Department of Defense’s Irregular Warfare Technical Support Directorate (IWTSD) has approved the SMART SHOOTER individual tactical weapon, paving the way for prototype production with delivery of the first functional system at the end of 2021.
