SMARTSHOOTER Awarded a $13M U.S. Army Contract for SMASH 2000L Fire Control Systems
YAGUR, Israel, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SMARTSHOOTER, a world-class designer, developer, and manufacturer of innovative fire control systems, is proud to announce that its U.S. subsidiary, SMARTSHOOTER Inc., has received a new order valued at $13M from the U.S. Army for SMASH 2000L fire control systems. The systems will be deployed as part of the Army's Transformation In Contact (TIC2.0) forces, a specially designated formation for accelerated testing and integration of advanced technologies on the battlefield.
SMASH fire control systems have already been acquired and operationally deployed by various branches of the U.S. armed forces, providing valuable field experience and demonstrating their effectiveness against evolving threats. Now, with the recent U.S. Army order, the technology will be integrated into the combat formation. This marks a major milestone in advancing U.S. dismounted counter-UAS capabilities.
Also known as SMASH 3000, SMASH 2000L (light) is SMARTSHOOTER's lightest handheld-operated fire control system, which attaches to the Soldier's rifle. Using computer vision, artificial intelligence, and advanced tracking algorithms, it enables Soldiers to detect, track, and precisely eliminate aerial and ground targets with unmatched accuracy. The system is especially effective against drones and small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), offering a high probability of kill for emerging threats.
Michal Mor, CEO of SMARTSHOOTER, said: 'We are honored by the U.S. Army's continued confidence in our SMASH technology. With SMASH 2000L, dismounted Soldiers are empowered with advanced fire control capabilities, ensuring precision in every shot—even in the most complex and high-pressure scenarios. The current contract is a significant step toward Army-wide fielding, and we are committed to supporting this important initiative.'
Combat-proven by the Israeli Defense Forces during Operation Iron Swords, SMASH systems have also been fielded by other NATO forces and are gaining traction across multiple branches of the U.S. military.

Deribit Introduces Linear Options for BTC and ETH
Launch reinforces Deribit's dedication to innovation and delivering premier trading solutions to market DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Deribit, the world's premier digital assets derivatives exchange, today announced the launch of new linear options contracts for BTC and ETH, priced and settled in USDC, effective August 19. They come with new USDC-settled BTC & ETH dated futures, alongside the existing USDC-settled perpetual futures. The launch of these new platform features was driven by strong institutional and retail demand. This latest addition to the Deribit platform follows just over a year after the successful integration of linear options for altcoins, including SOL and XRP, also settled in USDC. It also comes on the heels of USDC rewards being introduced, enabling users to earn passive returns on USDC holdings without requiring staking, lockups, or any manual action. The positive reception and growing demand for stablecoin-settled options in the altcoin space demonstrated the market's readiness for more flexible and accessible derivatives products. Building on that momentum, Deribit is now expanding its linear options offering to include BTC and ETH. Deribit CEO Luuk Strijers commented on the news, 'The introduction of linear options for BTC and ETH marks a significant milestone in our mission to offer institutional-grade products tailored to the evolving needs of our clients. By settling in USDC, we're providing greater flexibility, capital efficiency, and a familiar fiat-equivalent structure that appeals to both institutional and retail participants.' Linear options are financial derivatives whose payouts move in direct proportion to the price of the underlying asset. As the asset's price rises or falls, the value of the option adjusts accordingly, offering traders a predictable and transparent exposure to market movements. These instruments are commonly utilized for purposes such as hedging, speculative positioning, and yield enhancement, making them a valuable addition to a comprehensive trading strategy. The introduction of linear options will have no impact on Deribit's existing inverse BTC and ETH options (priced and settled in BTC, ETH) which will continue to operate as usual. The new linear options are fully integrated into the platform's risk engine and will offset inverse options for margin purposes, providing greater capital efficiency for traders managing both product types. They also come in smaller minimum order sizes (0.01 BTC and 0.1 ETH only) than the existing inverse options to provide better accessibility.
