SMARTSHOOTER, a world pioneer in fire control systems, will showcase its handheld and remotely controlled SMASH solutions at the DEFEA 2025 defence exhibition in Athens, Greece.

The company will present its combat-proven SMASH 3000 Fire Control System and the SMASH Hopper Light Remotely Controlled Weapon Station (LRCWS), demonstrating advanced capabilities for counter-UAS (CUAS), maritime security, border defence, and perimeter protection.

SMARTSHOOTER’s SMASH technology

Combat-proven and in operational use by defence, homeland security and border protection forces across Israel, the UK, Europe, the USA, India, and more, SMARTSHOOTER’s SMASH technology dramatically increases operational effectiveness by ensuring each round finds its target.

The SMASH 3000 is a lightweight, day/night capable fire control system that enables precise target engagement in complex operational environments—on land, at sea, and in the air. Designed for integration with C4I systems, battle management software, and external sensors, the SMASH 3000 supports tactical, multi-layer defence operations and can function as both a standalone solution and a component of a networked CUAS or perimeter protection architecture.

SMASH Hopper securing maritime borders

The SMASH Hopper is ideal for securing maritime borders, protecting critical infrastructure

The SMASH Hopper, a modular, rapidly deployable LRCWS, is designed to address evolving threats from a safe distance. Easily integrated onto manned or unmanned platforms—such as vehicles, naval vessels, UGVs, and fixed observation points—it combines precise fire control with multi-mission flexibility.

Controlled remotely, the SMASH Hopper is ideal for securing maritime borders, protecting critical infrastructure, and delivering short-range CUAS defence when paired with radar and command-and-control units.

How SMASH systems support mission success 

Michal Mor, SMARTSHOOTER CEO, commented: “At DEFEA, we’re focusing on how our SMASH systems support mission success in maritime, border, and tactical environments. From handheld rifles to remotely controlled weapon stations, our technology transforms standard weapons into smart, precise, and effective defence systems."

"Whether defending forces on the ground or securing national borders, SMASH delivers the accuracy needed to counter modern-day threats—including drones.”
