SmartShooter, a developer and manufacturer of advanced fire control systems, has secured a contract as part of the technology evaluation to the Australian Defence Force (ADF) project Land 156 LOE 2. The evaluation will determine the suitability of the Smash 3000 Fire Control System as part of the Dismounted Interim C-UAS Ensemble.
“The recently fulfilled order marks a strategic breakthrough into the Australian market after significant appraisal of SMASH Fire Control by the ADF, with potential for follow-on purchases in other programs,” Director of SmartShooter's Australia & New Zealand Territory, Lachlan Mercer, commented.
“This further extends SMARTSHOOTER’s established presence in the Asia-Pacific region.”
Smash 3000 is SmartShooter's lightest handheld-operated fire control system. It uses artificial intelligence, computer vision, and advanced tracking algorithms with the goal of allowing tactical forces to detect, track, and precisely eliminate aerial and ground threats.
“We are honored to support the Australian Defence Force and to work alongside yet another highly respected partner,” CEO of SmartShooter, Michal Mor, said.
Smash 3000 has provided a hard-kill solution against drones and sUAS. The delivered system has included advanced situational awareness capabilities that enable real-time target sharing among soldiers via SmartShooter's proprietary platform.
“This marks an important milestone in our long-term commitment to the Australian market, and we look forward to expanding our activities across multiple segments. Our SMASH fire control systems deliver precision capabilities at the moments they are needed most - whether the threat is airborne or ground-based, and we remain committed to providing superior operational advantage to our Australian partners," Mor stated.
According to SmartShooter, the Smash 3000 is combat-proven and operational with forces in the US, Israel, Europe, the UK, and other NATO nations.
The Smash family of fire control systems has included handheld-operated, remotely controlled, and UGV-mounted fire control systems, all designed with the intention to improve hit probability against both ground and aerial targets, including drones.
