Contract Overview
The Marine Corps Systems Command awarded Israeli fire-control firm Smart Shooter a follow-on contract for its soldier-portable SMASH 2000LE (SMASH 3000SA) fire-control systems. The base award is $3.4 million; options for spare parts, training and additional units add $2.4 million, potentially raising the total to $5.8 million. Delivery is slated for the fourth quarter of 2026, with limited support extending into early 2027.
Context and Prior U.S. Contracts
Smart Shooter’s U.S. business has expanded rapidly in 2026. In March it won a $2.4 million contract from Joint Interagency Task Force-401, followed by a $10.7 million U.S. Army award in May and a $1.8 million U.S. Navy award in early June. The Marine Corps contract continues this trend, reflecting heightened demand for precise counter-drone tools across multiple services.
Technical Capability & Operational Impact
The SMASH system pairs an optic-based rifle scope with a camera, sensor feed and onboard processor that tracks and predicts moving targets in real time. This lets shooters maintain accuracy while moving, fatigued or under fire, turning a standard rifle into a high-precision counter-UAS platform fielded by individual soldiers without extra equipment.
Official Statements & Responses
Smart Shooter framed the Marine Corps award as evidence of increasing operational demand among U.S. military branches for its solutions against the expanding drone threat. CEO Michal Mor said the contract validates the operational value of SMASH systems and their ability to address the growing drone threat at the tactical edge. The Marine Corps Systems Command has not issued a detailed public statement beyond the award.
