HevenDrones, an Israeli developer and provider of hydrogen-powered drones, announced a partnership with SMARTSHOOTER, an Israeli innovator in fire control systems designed to enhance hit probability against static and moving ground and aerial targets. The collaboration integrates SMARTSHOOTER's SMASH Dragon platform with Heven's H100 and Urban drone platforms, enabling precision targeting and engagement of both ground and aerial threats.

SMASH Dragon is an advanced robotic weapon payload that can be mounted on various drones and unmanned aerial platforms. Leveraging SMARTSHOOTER's proprietary SMASH fire control and target acquisition algorithms, combined with ballistic-calculated shot release, the system directs the weapon and precisely times the shot to achieve an accurate hit. It is uniquely designed to lock, track, and engage unknown targets in unpredictable environments—static or dynamic, day or night—unaffected by target movements or human errors like fatigue and stress.

According to SMARTSHOOTER, the SMASH system has a proven track record, including successful deployments and major contracts to supply the SMASH 3000 system to NATO countries for counter-drone operations and equipping the British Army with SMASH systems for counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) capabilities.
