India has been at the receiving end of terrorism for over past three decades and this will keep growing with the China-Pakistan nexus. These are discussed in succeeding paragraphs. Apparently there are multiple issues that have not been given necessary focus at the national apex. According to media, the Border Security Force (BSF) too is in talks with Israeli firms for anti-drone rifles.
#SMART SHOOTER SMASH 2000 PRICE PLUS#
The cost and the time schedule for delivery too have not been given.Īlthough media reports state that the SMASH 2000 Plus can be mounted on AK-47 and AK-203 assault rifles, it unclear whether the fitment requires modification to the rifle and whether the Navy is acquiring the complete weapon system as shown above, not just the EO sight. News report have not specified the number of SMASH 2000 Plus being acquired by the Navy. Also that SMASH 2000 Plus fully complies with the Indian needs and shall significantly improve a soldier’s accuracy and speed of hitting targets and shooting down threats, hence dramatically maximising operational effectiveness. Smart Shooter claims the SMASH 2000 Plus features built-in targeting algorithms that can track and hit very small drones skimming along at high speed, at ranges of up to 120 metres with the first shot. This (EO) sight system has now been upgraded to target small, moving drones from closer ranges of rifle. The electro-optic (EO) sight system fielded during 2019 provided a day/night rapid target acquisition capability to target small, fast-moving aerial threats such as incendiary balloons and kites. The SMASH 2000 Plus is based on the SMASH 2000 system and includes the whole feature set with an additional advanced Counter-UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) Mode, which provides accurate Hard Kill capability to counter the emerging drone threat. SMASH is a kind of electro-optic sight system. The contract calls for the supply of Smart Shooter’s SMASH 2000 Plus fire control systems, which will be installed mainly on AK-47 and AK- 203 rifles. We will be happy to keep offering the Indian Military diverse cutting-edge solutions for protection against ground and aerial threats at land, air, and sea.” A statement released by Sharp Shooter said it had been awarded a contract for the supply of its SMASH Fire Control Systems to the Indian Navy by the Indian defence ministry. Michel Mor, Chief Executive Officer of Smart Shooter stated on December 8, 2020, “SMASH 2000 Plus provides an inimitable hard-kill solution against the growing threats of drones, and delivers proven ability to hit any ground or airborne targets and eliminate the threat quickly and effectively.
The contract, awarded by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) is expected to increase operational effectiveness with quicker and more accurate strike abilities against drones. Media, citing defence sources, states that the Indian Navy has gone in for an unspecified number of Israeli, cutting-edge fire control systems that tackle drone threats from close range besides improving a soldier’s accuracy and speed of hitting targets. Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Karambir Singh in his annual press briefing on the eve of Navy Day in December 2020 has said that the Navy is procuring SMASH 2000 Plus as anti-drone equipment to protect against attacking drones.
