Smart Shooter

Smart Shooter builds AI-driven small-arms targeting systems — the SMASH family integrates computer vision and machine learning into rifle-mounted targeting sights, enabling autonomous target identification and engagement at the small-arms level. The platform has substantial Israeli, US, and international military adoption.

Smart Shooter is the principal Israeli specialist in AI-driven small-arms fire control. The SMASH family integrates computer vision, machine learning, and laser rangefinding into rifle-mounted targeting sights, enabling autonomous target identification and engagement at the small-arms level. The structural innovation is the combination of consumer-AI-level computer vision capability with the operational demands of small-arms targeting in adversarial environments.

SMASH has been adopted by the Israel Defense Forces across multiple infantry units, by the US Army and Marine Corps in selected programs, and by adjacent international customers. The SMASH Dragon adds a counter-drone targeting capability to the small-arms platform — one of the most commercially active capability categories in the post-2022 environment as small unmanned aerial threats have proliferated across multiple operational theaters.

For Defense pillar coverage in The Olam, Smart Shooter exemplifies the AI-defense integration trajectory at the small-systems end of the industrial base. The company's structural feature is the dual-use AI capability — the computer vision and machine learning approaches translate across defense and adjacent commercial applications.
