This 'Guaranteed Hit' Tech Could Be Added to Army’s Next-Gen Squad Weapon

An Israeli company, working with Sig Sauer, recently showed a version of its high-tech, smart-shooter technology that the U.S. Army is currently evaluating in its Next Generation Squad Weapon Fire Control competition.

Smart Shooter Ltd. demonstrated its SMASH Fire Control System at a Sig-hosted range day for SHOT Show 2020. The SMASH is designed to help improve the accuracy of any shooter engaging stationary or moving targets in both day and night conditions, said Devin Schweiss of Smart Shooter Inc.

The SMASH "allows you to acquire, lock on and engage targets" using a weapon-mounted optic and special pistol grip that "allows the weapon to fire only when it's a guaranteed hit," he said.

Doe that mean there is no situation requiring suppressive fire envisioned in future conflicts?

In essence, the SMASH family of Fire Control Systems was designed, developed and manufactured by Smart Shooter to ensure that each round hits its designated target, day or night, while keeping friendly forces and uninvolved population safe. SMASH 2000 is designed for the rigors of close-quarter combat, aiming to help shooters hit and eliminate their targets with the first round. However, the system enables the user to instantly revert back to free-fire mode through the reflex sight and fire the rifle manually (bypassing the Fire Control System). With another click of a button, the Fire Control System can be turned on again. The system continuously calculates the required aiming point in order to hit the target, taking into consideration the respective movement of both the target and the shooter. This dynamic aiming point is continuously displayed through the eye-piece providing the shooter with an unprecedented hit-ratio for each shot.
