- Fire control systems compensate for target and shooter movement.
- Combat-proven by the IDF and international forces.
- Israeli human capital provides unique field feedback.
- Rapid adaptation to evolving battlefield conditions.
At the Defense Tech Expo 2026 in Tel Aviv, Yoav Galster, Product Manager at Smart Shooter, unveiled the sophisticated technology behind their fire control systems. Smart Shooter is revolutionizing military precision by ensuring hits through advanced compensation for both target and shooter movement, a capability that sets them apart in the global defense industry.
Established in 2011, Smart Shooter has evolved beyond a startup, now boasting 100 employees and a global presence with subsidiaries in Australia, Germany, Europe, and the United States. Their systems are not merely theoretical; they are combat-proven, having been extensively tested by the IDF and other esteemed armies worldwide. This real-world validation, particularly in recent conflicts over the past two and a half years, underscores the reliability and effectiveness of their solutions.
When asked about staying ahead in Israel's booming defense sector, Galster emphasized the invaluable combat experience their systems provide. This direct exposure to the battlefield allows Smart Shooter to learn and adapt at an unparalleled pace. The dynamic nature of modern warfare demands constant evolution, and proximity to the front lines enables the company to rapidly refine and improve its technology, ensuring it remains at the forefront of defense innovation.
The unique strength of building a defense product company in Israel, according to Galster, lies in its human capital. Smart Shooter's employees are often active participants in combat forces, serving in reserve duty. This dual role provides an extraordinary advantage: engineers and developers don't just hear feedback from the field; they experience it directly. This intimate understanding of operational needs translates into incredibly fast implementation cycles, allowing Smart Shooter to integrate critical improvements into their systems with remarkable speed and precision.
“We are ensuring the hits compensating both the target movement and the shooter movement and this is the uniqueness of our capability.”
- Yoav Galster, Product Manager
