Netherlands orders smart shooter SMASH Fire Control System
The armed forces of the Netherlands has ordered SMASH fire control systems from Israeli defense and technology firm Smart Shooter to increase the accuracy and lethality of its small weapons.
According to the company, SMASH is a combat-proven solution capable of ensuring that each round fired from small arms precisely finds its target. It works automatically, bringing precision-missile targeting algorithms and advanced electro-optical processing capabilities to standard assault rifles and other small arms.
The system features a laser rangefinder and can target small, low-flying drones with advanced day and night vision capabilities. It is also designed to receive and display target information from an external sensor or detection system.
Smart Shooter says that the SMASH fire control system can provide soldiers with “precise, swift, safe, and simple” hard-kill elimination of enemy drones to a maximum range of 250 meters (820 feet).
