500 Israeli-made systems have been put into operational use in the last two months in the 16th Air Assault Brigade, with one system equipping each platoon.
Janes reports that 500 SMASH fire control systems, manufactured by the Israeli company SmartShooter and purchased by the British Army, have been put into operational use over the past two months within the 16th Air Assault Brigade, with one system equipping each platoon.
The SMASH system can be integrated with any assault rifle; however, the site demonstrated a system mounted on the brigade's L85A3 rifle.
Last year, we reported that the British Army had SMASH X4 fire control systems for Counter-small Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-sUAS).
The British Ministry of Defense awarded the company a contract with an initial value of £4.6 million for the supply of 225 SMASH systems, as the first order in a five-year contract with a total value of up to £20 million.
The announcement by the British MoD stated that these fire control systems for C-sUAS would be mounted on the SA80 A3 assault rifles of close combat units in the British Army, Navy, and Air Force.
