It can incorporate various types of assault rifles, sniper rifles, 40mm, and other ammunition with great precision. Presented by the company for the first time, SMASH Dragon is an advanced robotic weaponry payload that can be mounted on different drones and other unmanned aerial platforms. SMART SHOOTER, a designer, developer, and manufacturer of innovative fire control systems that significantly increase the accuracy and lethality of small arms, reveals the SMASH Dragon: an armed drone system incorporating Smart Shooter’s combat-proven SMASH Technology that ensures precise target elimination. Tagged Roboteam, Smart Shooter Leave a comment Smart Shooter reveals ultra-precise fire control system for UAVs Significant component of this system is the algorithmics and software, which makes it easy for the operator to intuitively perform complex and advanced operations in the battleground, while taking advantage of the autonomous capabilities and managing complex system of multi-platform and multi-sensor. All Roboteam’s robot families are meeting the JAUS/IOP standards, which allows for generic device mounting on the system depending on the mission, such as hazard material detecting sensors, vision devices and more. It seems that the companies are planning for an extensive cooperation, as they both say SMARTSHOOTERS’s systems can be integrated with any Roboteam’s platforms.Ĭurrently, Roboteam had developed 5 ground robot systems and a flying robot, remotely navigated and designed to carry and land robotic systems. The automatic target homing in allows the operator to effortlessly point the weapon, and once locked, he pull the trigger, and let SMASH do the rest.īoth companies will present the integrated solution at the Eurosatory 2022 Military Exhibition in Paris mid June. The system, which can be mounted to any assault rifle, is homing in the target through electro-optic sensors and track it using AI-based image processing. SMASH Hopper is a 15kg weapon station (tripod-like, also called “Pan Tilt Unit” in military terms) that carries a gun equipped with the smart fire control system SMASH, SMARTSHOOTER’s flagship product. Its arms are characterized by 5 degrees of freedom, which makes it highly flexible in operating the weapon station, and it also equipped with HD camera and night vision facility. Among other features, it has high maneuverability in complex terrain conditions, at any weather and also stair-climbing ability. Its height is 95cm, it weighs around 75kg, and it can be carried by two persons. TIGR (Transportable Interoperable Ground Robot) is a tactical robot, designed to cope with explosive ordinance disposal, hazardous material handling and intelligence missions. The integrated solution is the outcome of combining Roboteam’s TIGR robot and SMARTSHOOTER’s SMASH Hopper, a Light Remotely Controlled Weapon Station (LRCWS). The solution can also be used in urban scenarios, patrol missions and border defense. Also, since the SMARTSHOOTER’s sight is capable of precisely hitting drones, the integrated solution can serve as a tactical UAV interception device at the battleground. The robot is operated remotely using control system that makes it possible for the operator to both observe the area from distance and to fire.

'It only takes about five minutes to learn and, once you learn the motion, then it's quick,' he said.SMARTSHOOTER and Roboteam unveiled an integrated solution of an autonomous tactical robot equipped with a AI-based weapon station that automatically home in the target and hit it with maximum precision.

'Then I just hold down the trigger, align my crosshairs to where the system tells me to, and the system will fire whenever it's a hit.'Īt any time, the shooter can fire the weapon without using the SMASH target lock feature if quicker shots are needed on close-quarter targets, Schweiss said. Once I release it, it will lock the target and give me and aimpoint,' he said. 'While I am holding down this button, I am acquiring targets through image processing. When the shot is lined up, the SMASH will fire the weapon, Schweiss said. If the target moves suddenly, the shooter continues to keep the crosshairs on the target. The shooter looks through the SMASH optic, places the crosshairs on the target and presses the button to mark the target with a tiny rectangle.Īs the information is fed back into the computer, the shooter keeps the crosshairs on the target and pulls the trigger, but the weapon will not fire unless the sights are lined up properly. The SMASH features a lock button that's mounted on the weapon's handguard. Smartshooter Inc.’s SMASH Fire Control System features a special pistol grip that only allows the weapon to fire when the shot is lined up properly.
