SMARTSHOOTER Unveils SMASH DOME: Next-Gen Counter-UAS Solution

Media Release

SMARTSHOOTER, a leader in fire control innovation, has introduced SMASH DOME, a lightweight, portable counter-UAS (C-UAS) solution for tactical area defence. Designed for both covert and overt operations, SMASH DOME integrates advanced detection, tracking, and kinetic interception to neutralise drone threats.

As drones become increasingly resilient to jamming, traditional C-UAS methods struggle to keep up. SMASH DOME counters this by combining active RF radar and passive optical sensors for continuous UAS detection, classification, and tracking at distances of up to 2 km.

At its core, SMASH DOME features SMASH Hopper, a lightweight, remote-controlled weapon station (LRCWS) armed with an assault rifle and a precision Fire Control System (FCS). This system ensures accurate kinetic engagement against rogue drones, regardless of their communication link or model. SMASH Hopper integrates seamlessly with Command-and-Control (C2) systems (e.g., ATAK), providing automatic target detection, tracking, and real-time ballistic solutions.

SMASH DOME is deployable on vehicles, borders, and strategic sites, offering flexible defence capabilities. Its person-in-the-loop design ensures precise targeting while minimising collateral damage—critical for urban and sensitive environments.

“Our world faces growing threats from rogue drones,” said Michal Mor, CEO of SMARTSHOOTER. “SMASH DOME provides a cost-effective, precise solution that integrates seamlessly with existing C2 systems, enhancing both standalone and layered defences.”

By optimising ammunition use and ensuring effective interception, SMASH DOME reinforces SMARTSHOOTER’s commitment to protecting forces and critical infrastructure from evolving aerial threats.
