75th U.S. Army Reserve Innovation Command tech assessment teams evaluate C-sUAS during Operation Sentinel Justice 26
An Army Reserve Soldier participating in Operation Sentinel Justice 26 discharges his M4 carbine while zeroing the SMASH firing system optic that assists acquiring and defeating small hostile drones at Camp Shelby, Miss., June 11, 2026. The SMASH firing system links the optic and trigger mechanism, requiring a locked target verified by an advanced trajectory algorithm before allowing the weapon to fire, making it ideal for precision small arms tactics against hostile drones.
