SMARTSHOOTER Unveils SMASH 2000L Integration with USMC MAGTAB System at Modern Day Marine 2025

Tuesday, April 29th, 2025

Enhanced Situational Awareness and Battlefield Connectivity Now Delivered Through SMASH 2000L Integration with the Marine Air-Ground Tablet (MAGTAB)

Modern Day Marine, Booth #2349

[April 28, 2025]: SMARTSHOOTER, a world-class designer, developer, and manufacturer of precision fire control systems, will showcase its SMASH family of handheld and remotely operated systems at Modern Day Marine 2025.

Today, SMARTSHOOTER announces the integration of its combat-proven SMASH 2000L Fire Control System with the United States Marine Corps’ Marine Air-Ground Tablet (MAGTAB) Family of Systems. Developed in collaboration with Kranze Technology Solutions (KTS), this integration enhances dismounted Marines’ real-time situational awareness by delivering target and friendly force information directly into the SMASH 2000L’s Field of View (FOV) — significantly improving battlefield decision-making.

SMASH 2000L is SMARTSHOOTER’s lightest handheld fire control system. Using artificial intelligence, computer vision, and advanced algorithms, it maximizes force lethality, operational effectiveness, and situational awareness in every engagement — day or night. Combat-proven,SMASH 2000L ensures precise target elimination against ground threats and aerial targets, making it an ideal hard-kill solution against drones and sUAS.

A unique feature of the SMASH 2000L is its ability to connect to external sensors, providing both operators and Combat Operations Centers with enhanced situational awareness. Operators can instantly visualize targets and friendly forces through their optics, enabling faster engagement and better-informed command decisions.

Designed by Marines for Marines, the MAGTAB Family of Systems streamlines mission planning, increases operational effectiveness, and modernizes Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs). Through this integration, critical battlefield information can now be shared seamlessly between the SMASH 2000L and the MAGTAB system, empowering dismounted forces with greater precision, connectivity, and speed.

The announcement follows SMARTSHOOTER’s successful participation in a live-fire kinetic and non-kinetic Counter-UAS evaluation at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, California. During the October 2024 event, SMARTSHOOTER demonstrated the SMASH 2000L Fire Control System mounted on a standard M4 rifle, successfully eliminating multiple drone threats across two days of live testing.

Michal Mor, CEO of SMARTSHOOTER, stated: “The integration of SMASH 2000L with the Marine Corps’ MAGTAB system empowers warfighters to instantly share and act on critical battlefield information. Combined with our recent live-fire successes, SMARTSHOOTER continues to deliver the technology edge needed to dominate the modern battlefield.”

Deployed and combat-proven by forces worldwide —including the US Marine Corps, the US Army, and the IDF— SMARTSHOOTER’s SMASH family of Fire Control Systems (FCS) is equipped with onboard computing that delivers complex targeting solutions. Once the user identifies and locks onto a target, SMASH tracks its movement and synchronizes the shot release for a fast,precise hit. By leveraging AI, computer vision, and advanced algorithms, SMASH enhances lethality, precision, and situational awareness, while reducing collateral damage.

SMARTSHOOTER’s US operations are headquartered in Herndon, Virginia.

UNITY Tactical Updates Its Line of FAST Red Dot Mounts with the FAST Micro-SB

Friday, April 25th, 2025

New Micro-Footprint Mount Features Fully Adjustable Built-in Back-Up Iron Sights

Broussard, LA—UNITY™ Tactical, a designer of components that integrate tactical systems and optimize the human factor, announced the launch of the FAST™ Micro-SB, its third mount built with a micro footprint. Designed specifically for the Aimpoint® CompM5, CompM5b, and Duty RDS mini red dot sights, the FAST Micro-SB features built-in fully adjustable front and rear back-up iron sights (BUIS).

The Micro-SB positions these taller mini red dot sights at an optical centerline of 2.26 inches and is compatible with UNITY’s entire line of FAST FTC magnifier mounts. While the FAST Micro-SB mount is designed for the same mini red dot sights as the FAST Micro-S, it features back-up iron sights like the FAST Micro. This allows users to take advantage of UNITY’s Flip-to-Center (FTC) mounts without sacrificing the use of back-up iron sights.

The built-in BUIS is a non-standard height that does not allow for compatibility with a traditional front post, so the front post is factory installed. The integrated BUIS are visible under all of UNITY’s FTC mounts.

“The FAST Micro-SB brings increased efficiency, saving space and allowing additional compatibility” said Mike Roth, VP of business development for UNITY Tactical. “For those Aimpoint customers who are required or prefer to run BUIS but want to integrate flip-to-center magnification, the FAST Micro-SB is an ideal solution.”

The mount comes standard with a two cross bolt rail clamp but is also compatible with the FAST QD Lever (sold separately). The FAST Micro-SB is manufactured to the same high standards as all UNITY products, utilizing 7075-T6 aluminum with a Type III hard coat anodized finish. The FAST Micro-SB is available in black and FDE and includes a lifetime warranty. It retails for $205 and is available for purchase now through authorized UNITY dealers and on unitytactical.com.

Safariland Announces Newly Developed Products for Axon Signal Sensor

Thursday, April 24th, 2025

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Safariland®, a brand of The Safariland Group, a leading global provider of safety products designed for the public safety, military, professional and outdoor markets and one of Cadre Holdings, Inc.’s (NYSE: CDRE) (“Cadre”) key brands, is excited to announce its enhanced collaboration with Axon Enterprise, Inc. (“Axon”) in developing the newest suite of holsters and accessories compatible for use with Axon Signal Sensor.

This joint effort delivers purpose-built technology that supports public safety agencies by enabling hands-free activation of Axon body-worn and fleet cameras, helping to ensure critical moments are captured while allowing officers to focus on the task at hand. Signal Sensor, formerly known as Signal Sidearm, wirelessly alerts nearby Axon cameras to begin recording the moment a firearm is drawn from a compatible holster, for both real-time situational awareness and transparent post-incident documentation of Use of Force (UoF) incidents.

Coming this year, 17 updated holsters from Safariland’s 6000 series will be released with dedicated integration for Signal Sensor, along with eight newly developed firearm fits for the recently introduced Ballast Duty Holster. Safariland will also introduce six non-firearm UoF pouches compatible with Signal Sensor allowing integration with equipment, such as Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) spray, batons and handcuffs. The Signal Sensor unit can also be installed on a range of existing in-market holsters using an adapter designed for backward compatibility.

Safariland has worked closely with Axon to simplify the process of ensuring holster compatibility with Axon’s Signal Sensor technology. With a wide range of adaptable holsters, agencies can seamlessly integrate Signal Sensor units either within the holster or mounted, using a bracket. Whether an agency is already equipped with Signal Sensor technology or planning future implementation, achieving compatibility is now easier than ever.

“This collaboration sets a new standard for integrated duty gear technology and reflects our commitment to officer safety and innovation,” said Eric Gasvoda, Vice President and General Manager of Duty Gear for Safariland. “We are proud to partner with Axon in delivering a solution that enhances both situational awareness and accountability.”

“Working with Safariland allows us to push the boundaries of what’s possible in connected public safety technology and expand holster coverage to protect more lives in more places,” said Craig Trudgeon, Senior Vice President of Product at Axon. “This collaboration enables us to broaden our coverage to include additional models in the future — delivering smarter, more seamless tools that empower officers and build trust within communities.”

Safariland and Axon will announce the integrated holster collaboration in Phoenix during the 2025 Axon Week, April 22-25. Axon Week is a premier event focused on public safety technology and innovation.
