Israeli defense firm SMARTSHOOTER has signed a $10.7-million follow-on contract to provide its proprietary SMASH 2000LE fire control systems for the US Army, further expanding its position in the American market.
The deal builds on an ongoing framework with Washington, which covered an initial supply for the army, as well as separate orders from the marines and the air force.
Shipments under the latest award will be facilitated through the third quarter of 2026.
The company noted that the procurement was issued through the US Army’s newly-created Portfolio Acquisition Executive – Defensive Fires office, with Virginia-based Atlantic Diving Supply assisting in the sale’s execution.
SMASH Technology
The SMASH 2000LE is a variant of the SMARTSHOOTER’s light handheld fire control family of systems, which combines artificial intelligence, computer vision, and advanced tracking algorithms.
The devices are offered for precision users, including rifle units, against ground and airborne hostiles such as drones.
Its new 2000LE configuration, also called the SMASH 3000SA, integrates additional networking functions to support a unified data stream across external nodes and battle management capabilities.
SMARTSHOOTER said in a previous sale that the SMASH technology has already been fielded in Israel Defense Forces’ recent operations, and is now mounted in NATO small arms.
‘Reliable’ Capability
Commenting on the latest deal, SMARTSHOOTER CEO Michal Mor emphasized that the award demonstrates the firm’s commitment to equip American warfighters “with reliable solutions that enhance precision, survivability, and mission effectiveness.”
“This follow-on US Army award underscores the growing operational need for effective soldier-level counter-UAS capabilities and reflects continued confidence in SMASH systems from US defense organizations,” Mor said.
“As drone threats evolve in scale, accessibility, and complexity, armed forces increasingly require proven, field-ready systems that can be rapidly deployed and effectively operated at the tactical edge.”
