Smart Shooter, an Israeli designer, developer, and manufacturer of fire control systems, announced that it has signed an agreement with the Israeli Ministry of Defense to supply SMASH Hopper lightweight remote-controlled weapon stations, including spare parts and related services.
Under the agreement, Smart Shooter will supply SMASH Hopper systems, spare parts, and related services to the Israeli Ministry of Defense for approximately NIS 6.7 million during the second half of 2026. The agreement also includes a four-month option to procure additional similar systems valued at approximately NIS 6 million, as well as an option for additional services valued at approximately NIS 1.9 million. If fully exercised, the agreement’s total value may reach approximately NIS 14.6 million.
According to Smart Shooter, SMASH Hopper is a portable fire control system designed for remote operation and deployment on stationary and mobile platforms, including light vehicles, robots, and fixed posts. Its compact size and low weight make it well suited for complex and diverse operational environments and missions, including urban combat zones, border defense, and sensitive facility protection, addressing a range of ground and aerial threats, including drones.
Michal Mor, founder and CEO of Smart Shooter, said: “Our expanded cooperation with the Israeli Ministry of Defense reflects continued confidence in Smart Shooter and further demonstrates the critical operational value delivered by the SMASH family of fire control systems in the field. The remotely controlled SMASH Hopper system enables forces to engage ground and aerial threats with high precision while keeping soldiers at a safe distance. As drones and other rapidly evolving battlefield threats continue to challenge forces worldwide, SMASH systems are proving to be an effective operational solution for precise, controlled engagement of both ground and aerial threats. We are proud to continue supporting the IDF with advanced technologies that address today’s most urgent defense needs.”
Earlier this month, Smart Shooter received a U.S. Army award valued at approximately $10.7 million for SMASH 3000SA rifle-mounted fire control systems and related support services.
