The U.S. military recently published photos of Marines in a unit headed to the Middle East equipped with an advanced optic designed to help them shoot down small drones.
The April 4 photos show members of the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, or MEU, using a smart scope optic mounted on their M4 carbines as part of training against small drones.
When contacted by Task & Purpose, a representative of Smart Shooter Inc. confirmed that the optic seen in the photos is the SMASH 2000L advanced fire control system.
“With SMASH 2000L, dismounted Marines are equipped with an effective, combat-proven solution against the growing threat of drones and small unmanned aerial systems,” said Scott Thompson, vice president and general manager of U.S. operations for Smart Shooter Inc.
