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.

Introducing RXD Suppressors: Dead Air & Ruger Redefine Silence

Saturday, April 26th, 2025

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Heber City, UT – Two of the most respected names in the shooting sports industry—Dead Air Silencers and Ruger Firearms—have joined forces to introduce an entirely new class of suppressors: the RXD Series. This bold new line isn’t a rebrand or a re-skin—it’s a ground-up innovation built to complement Ruger’s renowned firearm platforms with uncompromising performance, design, and maintainability.

The RXD22Ti and RXD30Ti are the first in this purpose-driven lineup, delivering elite-level suppression for both small-caliber and long-range precision shooters. Engineered by Dead Air Silencers with cutting-edge baffle technologies, these suppressors set a new benchmark in lightweight, hard-use performance for serious shooters.

RXD22Ti: Precision for Small-Caliber Platforms

Purpose-built for high-velocity rimfire and small-caliber centerfire platforms, the RXD22Ti is compatible with .22 LR, .22 WSM, .17 HMR, 4.6mm, and 5.7x28mm. Featuring Dead Air’s Triskelion™ single-piece PVD-coated mono-core, the RXD22Ti is constructed using additive manufacturing for enhanced strength, lighter weight, and simplified maintenance. The suppressor’s internal geometry allows for sophisticated acoustic engineering that delivers optimal sound suppression in a remarkably small package. Add to that Dead Air Silencers’ unique Gas Management System for decreased backpressure and ejection port noise, and you have a small-caliber suppressor that provides an unequaled shooting experience.

In addition to the innovative Triskelion™ core, the RXD22Ti utilizes the all-new XRF rimfire muzzle brake. This is a tapered muzzle device compatible with numerous platforms (from ½-28 and M10x1), allowing the shooter to use the RXD22Ti on multiple firearms while delivering a secure lockup. The XRF brake also helps capture lead before it enters the suppressor core, making for easy cleanup.

When it is time to swap firearms or perform scheduled maintenance, the RXD22Ti’s Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) tool features mean that the suppressor and subcomponents will accommodate the most common, non-proprietary tools for removal and component disassembly.

There are no barrel length restrictions with RXD22Ti. The suppressor boasts a muzzle energy rating of 850 ft/lbs and is rated full-auto in .22 LR (in accordance with ATF regulations) and semi-auto in .17 HMR, .22 WSM, and 5.7x28mm. The RXD22Ti suppressor is available with a Black or Burnt Bronze high-temperature Cerakote exterior finish. MSRP is $499.

RXD30Ti: Built for Big-Game and Long-Range Precision

Designed for serious hunters and precision marksmen, the RXD30Ti delivers exceptional recoil and sound suppression by combining Dead Air Silencers’ advanced Triskelion™ and Nomad™ baffle technologies even with today’s hardest-hitting .30-caliber cartridges. What’s more, the suppressor’s integrated E-Brake feature makes for a softer-shooting gun with up to 40-percent reduction in felt recoil when compared to a bare muzzle. Additional benefits of the RXD30Ti include reduced muzzle flash courtesy of the RXD front cap and minimized blast baffle erosion thanks to a new Direct Thread Brake Mount.

Broad mounting compatibility with all HUB (.1375-24 TPI) accessories ensure easy adaptation to numerous firearm platforms via direct-thread or quick-disconnect applications.

The RXD30Ti is caliber-rated for 6.5 PRC, 7 PRC, and up to .300 PRC. Finish options include Black and Burnt Bronze in high-temperature Carakote®. MSRP is $1099.
