Smart Shooter profile
Smart Shooter builds computerized fire control systems that attach to standard infantry rifles to track and engage small unmanned aircraft systems.
What Smart Shooter does
Smart Shooter Supplies rifle-mounted fire control hardware, proprietary computer-vision software updates, and weapon-integration accessories directly to defense ministries and armed service branches. Captures follow-on revenue through operator training curricula, spare parts, and depot-level sustainment services structured under multi-year indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity procurement frameworks. Sells both standalone optical units for dismounted warfighters and remotely operated weapon station variants compatible with external battle management systems.
The product lines that define the company for research purposes:
- SMASH 2000LE
- SMASH Family Fire Control Systems
- Domestic Shield Program
This profile is qualitative by design. It carries no share price, no price target, no valuation multiple, and no rating — those change faster than any page can honestly track, and the filings linked below are the authoritative source for them.
Smart Shooter drone lineup
The current public product record does not identify a complete aircraft lineup.
No complete-aircraft offering is catalogued for this company; it is tracked here as an unmanned-systems enabler.
Statuses are editorial classifications from the company’s current public catalog: active means currently presented for sale, delivery, or program work; development means publicly disclosed but not a mature production offering; legacy means retained for historical or installed-fleet coverage.
Recent contracts & awards
A dated log of the specific contracts, orders, funding, and deployments reported for Smart Shooter, each tied to its primary source. This is a record of what was announced — a "selection", "award", or "partnership" is not the same as obligated money, so read each source before treating a figure as revenue. No figure appears here unless a source reported it.
- Smart Shooter Awarded Up to $150M IDIQ for SMASH Counter-Drone Systems
Smart Shooter was awarded a 36-month, single-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract framework worth up to $150 million by Joint Interagency Task Force 401 (JIATF-401) to supply SMASH counter-drone fire control systems under the Domestic Shield Program. Because the arrangement relies on individual delivery orders over three years for hardware, software, and sustainment, researchers should verify official task order obligations rather than treating the $150 million ceiling as fully committed funding.

Is Smart Shooter going public?
Smart Shooter is a privately held defense hardware company founded in Israel and has no public stock ticker. Investors and researchers tracking the counter-drone sector must monitor company press announcements, defense procurement registries, and venture financing databases for ownership or capital structure changes.
Where Smart Shooter sits in the value chain
Smart Shooter is a pure-play: unmanned systems are the business rather than one line inside it, so the P&L moves with drone demand and has little else to cushion a slow procurement year.
Its disclosed activity spans counter-UAS, ground robotics. That placement is the single most useful thing to fix in your head before reading any coverage, because the same headline means different things at different layers: a large platform award is transformative for a pure-play, material but diluted for a diversified contractor, and only indirectly relevant to a component supplier whose exposure arrives later as build-rate demand. Retail coverage routinely applies one story to all three layers at once. For the layer-by-layer comparison across the sector, see the drone stocks research shortlist and the list of publicly traded drone companies.
What to watch
The signals worth tracking are structural, not price-based — they tell you whether the business is changing shape, which is what eventually shows up in the numbers.
- Task order conversion rates against the $150 million ceiling awarded by the Joint Interagency Task Force 401 under the Domestic Shield Program.
- Hardware procurement cadence across the four main United States military service branches following initial evaluations by the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps.
- Interoperability milestones linking dismounted SMASH optical feeds into broader counter-UAS sensor grids and layered installation defense networks.
- Foreign military sales and direct commercial contracts with North Atlantic Treaty Organization members seeking low-cost kinetic counter-UAS tools.
How to research Smart Shooter
Every question below has one authoritative source, and using the wrong source is how most retail research goes wrong.
| Research question | Where the answer lives | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
| Is there anything to buy? | SEC EDGAR full-text search | Whether any registration statement exists at all — absent one, there is no public security. |
| Is the government work real? | Official DoD contract announcements | Awarding service and scope of work, rather than a company-issued announcement. |
| What is the acquisition pathway? | DIU and DARPA program pages | Whether the work runs through non-traditional agreements or a conventional program of record. |
| How would exposure even work? | Fund holdings disclosures | Whether any listed vehicle discloses a stake — indirect exposure is usually thin and unstated. |
- Check individual delivery orders and solicitations published on SAM.gov to confirm actual obligation amounts drawn against the Joint Interagency Task Force 401 IDIQ contract.
- Review technical specifications and mounting interfaces for the SMASH optic family directly on the official Smart Shooter website.
- Track international defense procurement announcements and operational field tests documented through official defense ministry releases from the United States, Israel, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
One failure mode is worth naming explicitly: a company announcement describing a "selection", "award", or "partnership" is not the same as obligated money, and the two are easy to conflate because they use the same vocabulary. Check the official record before treating either as revenue. Our full approach is documented on the methodology page.
