Smart Shooter profile
Smart Shooter is an Israeli defense technology manufacturer that produces optical fire control systems enabling standard infantry rifles and remotely operated weapon mounts to acquire, track, and kinetically engage small unmanned aerial systems.
What Smart Shooter does
Smart Shooter Builds and sells rifle-mounted fire control optics and remote weapon station add-ons that integrate target-tracking algorithms with weapon trigger mechanisms. Generates revenue by selling hardware sights, proprietary software licenses, spare parts, and operator training to military and homeland security agencies. Complements direct procurement through multi-year indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) task orders and integration agreements with defense primes.
The product lines that define the company for research purposes:
- SMASH 3000SA
- SMASH Fire Control System
- Domestic Shield
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 U.S. IDIQ Contract for SMASH Counter-Drone Systems
Smart Shooter received a three-year, single-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with a ceiling of up to $150 million from Joint Interagency Task Force 401 to supply SMASH rifle-mounted counter-drone fire control systems and support services for the Domestic Shield program. Because the $150 million amount is a maximum ordering ceiling rather than a guaranteed purchase, researchers should track subsequent task orders and official contract announcements to confirm actual obligated funding.

Is Smart Shooter going public?
Smart Shooter is a privately held corporation founded in Kibbutz Yagur, Israel, in 2011. There is no public stock ticker or direct equity listing. Private equity funding rounds, joint ventures, and official company disclosures remain the primary methods to track corporate capitalization and ownership structure.
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 three-year, $150 million Joint Interagency Task Force 401 (JIATF-401) ceiling for the Domestic Shield program.
- Order volume across the individual military branches, following earlier purchases by the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Navy.
- Expansion of the company order backlog beyond the $51.6 million reported at the end of the second quarter of 2026.
- Integration milestones linking SMASH optical units directly into wider command-and-control battle management networks.
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. |
- Track ordering activity, task awards, and ceiling adjustments directly through the U.S. Department of Defense Contract Announcements database under Joint Interagency Task Force 401.
- Verify product specifications and hardware configurations across the SMASH product portfolio through the official Smart Shooter portal.
- Review federal procurement award line items and contracting office records via USAspending.gov by searching Smart Shooter as the primary awardee.
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.
